The latest season of The Boys has once again raised questions about the show’s most debated potential romance, leaving viewers upset that a crucial moment from Season 3 has seemingly been overlooked.
Since the release of the first three episodes of The Boys Season 4, fans have been treated to a variety of superheroes, leaving them stunned by unexpected moments and clever Easter eggs planted by series creator Eric Kripke.
Additionally, a significant shift has occurred as Frenchie has formed a romantic connection with someone other than Kimiko.
Despite some viewers acknowledging that Frenchie and Kimiko are just friends after a significant moment in Season 3, there is confusion about the outrage surrounding Frenchie’s new romantic involvement.
On Reddit, a fan expressed their frustration about the numerous posts discussing Frenchie and Kimiko’s lack of romantic development, stating that it seemed like three seasons of build-up had amounted to nothing. They also mentioned how the show seemed to have randomly abandoned the romantic plot they had been building towards. (Apologies for adding to the discussion.)

“It’s nonsense. Their relationship was always meant to be purely platonic. This scene serves as the culmination of that dynamic. However, it seems that many have either overlooked or misunderstood the significance of this scene.”
In Episode 5, the characters have a conversation about their kiss and come to the realization that they are actually family. This leads them to conclude that any romantic feelings between them are no longer a possibility.
However, one fan expressed a differing opinion, stating, “I understand where you’re coming from, but the way they write it doesn’t match up. They constantly switch between building up sexual tension and then suddenly bringing in other people, which just feels odd. They should pick one direction and stick with it. The in-between is just not working for me.”
“The issue at hand is not that Frenchie is not in a relationship with Kimiko. The real problem is that he is seeing someone who appeared out of nowhere and is not of any importance to anyone,”another person commented.
In the latest season of The Boys, Frenchie has been discovering and exploring his sexuality, as he begins a romantic relationship with Colin. This development confirms that his character is bisexual.
Despite the backlash to this plot point, many fans argue that Frenchie has always been portrayed as bisexual and are disappointed with the negative reaction.
“Some people pointed out the double standard surrounding Frenchie’s actions, stating that there was no outcry when he slept with another girl but as soon as it was revealed that he was also interested in men, homophobia was suddenly brought up under the guise of “there was no build-up”or “Kimiko is his girlfriend”excuses. However, others argued that the build-up for Frenchie’s bisexuality was present throughout every season, making the criticism invalid.”
“It is more beneficial to have them maintain a friendship rather than following the typical trope in old series where friends often end up in romantic relationships.”
