As a dedicated fan of The Boys, I have to say that this latest season has been a rollercoaster ride of emotions. The final episode, “Assassination Run,” left me reeling with its unexpected twists and turns. While the long-awaited confession of love between Frenchie (Tomer Capon) and Kimiko (Karen Fukuhara) was a beautiful moment, it was short-lived and heartbreaking.
Caution: This tale reveals significant plot twists from The Boys’ Season 4 finale “Assassination Run,” released on July 18. You can watch it on Amazon Prime Video, one of the top streaming platforms, if you’re not yet up-to-date.
In the finale of The Boys Season 4, some shocking turns of events took place, including Ashley’s extreme measures and the surprising mid-credit scene. Before chaos completely ensued, Frenchie and Kimiko’s long-developing relationship culminated in a heartfelt confession and kiss. Although this moment brought joy to fans, it was short-lived as the following events left them feeling torn apart, much like Victoria Neuman. Social media reactions to these twists have been intense.
As a devoted fan of “The Boys,” I’ve been eagerly watching Tomer Capone’s Frenchie and Karen Fukuhara’s Kimiko’s intriguing dynamic since the show began. However, this season took their relationship to new heights as they both grappled with their painful pasts. Initially, Kimiko kept Frenchie at arm’s length, but when he was at his most vulnerable, she wouldn’t let him slip away. In the gripping “Assassination Run” episode, their connection became undeniable, and a Twitter user perfectly encapsulated this moment with the caption:
Kimiko had tried to persuade Frenchie to give things a chance with Colin (Elliot Knight), but unfortunately, their relationship didn’t stand a chance from the beginning. This was largely due to Frenchie’s past and the horrific act he had committed against Colin’s entire family. In the final episode of the season, Kimiko confessed that she had only distanced herself from him because she believed he deserved someone more deserving than herself. Frenchie replied:
Mon coeur. There is no one better than you.
Although I don’t watch “The Boys” primarily for the romantic storylines (with Sister Sage undergoing lobotomy for The Deep, MM getting defeated by Love Sausage’s elongated penis, and a clone finding pleasure in a human centipede-like way), I must confess that each time Frenchie calls Kimiko “my heart,” my own heart experiences a slight flutter.
Many fans of “The Boys” had been anticipating this moment between the characters, as evidenced by their enthusiastic responses such as this.
It’s understandable that their happiness didn’t last long, given how Homelander and The Supes were after The Boys. Eventually, it was only a matter of time before they were forced to part ways. This fan made the situation even more painful by adding, “[The Boys] drove the wedge in deeper.”
Yes, Kimiko, who shared her past leading to her muteness during this season, exclaimed “No!” in horror as Frenchie was being taken away by Cate from Gen V. The scene left many viewers of “The Boys” feeling uneasy.
As a devoted fan, I can’t help but acknowledge that some of us preferred Frenchie and Kimiko to keep their deep bond as friends. They had already made it clear that their connection went beyond romantic feelings, referring to each other as family. Still, the sudden change in their relationship left me and others feeling a bit disappointed.
In Gen V, the Supes demonstrated their power. Asa Germann’s Sam managed to subdue Kimiko, and Cate’s abilities were so potent that they shattered Frenchie’s trance, rendering Kimiko’s voice ineffective. This was a lot for fans to absorb, as one fan exclaimed:
With a disappointing conclusion to Season 4, it’s uncertain if or how the team of superhero fighters will reunite when “The Boys” returns for its final season, Season 5. Meanwhile, the second season of “Gen V” is on the way, so make sure your Amazon Prime subscription is active and stay tuned for what’s airing in 2024 TV lineup.
