00:00Welcome back everyone.

00:07It is Amelia.

00:08I hope you are fine.

00:09The Boys star Karen Fukuhara explains Kimiko's climactic moment in the season 4 final.

00:15After joining the show in season 1, the voluntarily mute Kimiko has become a major figure as part

00:21of Butcher's Kaal Urban team attempting to take down Homelander and War.

00:25Kimiko's dynamic with Frenchie Tomokaporn played an especially important role in season

00:304.

00:31But the pair's story took a tragic turn in the Boys' season 4 final when Frenchie was

00:35brainwashed and hauled away, with Kimiko uttering her first words in the form of a scream of

00:40anguish.

00:41In a recent interview with Variety, Fukuhara explains Kimiko speaking for the first time

00:46the Boys' season 4 final and the journey to get to that moment.

00:50The actor also touches on how thrilling it was when she first saw that Kimiko speaks

00:54in the final script.

00:56While earlier episodes of the Boys' season 4 seemingly reinforced that the dynamic between

01:01Frenchie and Kimiko is purely platonic, the final sees the two characters share a passionate

01:06kiss.

01:07This major development in their relationship only makes Frenchie's brainwashing hit that

01:11much harder.

01:12The last audiences see of the pair in the Boys' season 4 final is of Frenchie getting

01:17into a van while Kimiko struggles to go after him.

01:20Since Frenchie is now seemingly under Kate's, Maddie Phillips' control, he could potentially

01:25become an antagonist in the Boys' season 5, which will serve as the show's last.

01:30It would certainly be tragic, after all, if Kimiko is forced to fight against the person

01:35she cares about most in the world.

01:37It's entirely possible, however, that Kate will also use her powers to brainwash Kimiko,

01:42since it doesn't look like Fukuhara's character is able to escape from Sam, Asa German.

01:48Without delving into spoilers from the Boys' comic series, the prime video show doesn't

01:52seem like one that will give all of its characters happy endings.

01:56Frenchie and Kimiko, however, have certainly proven themselves deserving of one given both

02:02of their dark, tragic pasts.

02:04It's unclear how Kimiko and Frenchie's story will play out in the Boys' season 5, but both

02:08characters will evidently be crucial in whatever is to come.
