Showrunner Eric Kripke reveals that Kimiko’s musical number was supposed to happen a year earlier.
The silent character finds her voice as she partakes in a musical dance number with Frenchie inside a hospital.
However, the idea of Kimiko getting her own musical number isn’t new.
It was going to happen in Season 2.
And this is something he’s had planned for a while.
“In Season 2 of The Boys, we thought we had our opportunity,” Kripke told GameSpot.
And so we couldn’t do it last season, sadly.
It just didn’t fit into the story, ultimately."
And so I got the reaction last year, actually, where she was like, so excited.
‘Oh my god, I’ve always wanted to be doing a musical and thank you so much.’
Like, you just never do it until you know for sure what’s there.
And you know, and she was obviously really excited."
“Oh, it was great.
It was wonderful,” Fukuhara told GameSpot.
“For two whole seasons, I was covered in dirt, covered in mud and blood.
And finally, I got this clean, colorful, beautiful musical number.
It was truly a dream come true.”
It’s a series that knows its identity and leans in hard to it every single season.
It continues to grow and evolve the world it lives in without losing that identity either.
The cast is delivering some of the best performances of the series here as well.
The Boys Season 3 is a must-watch for summer viewing."
New episodes of The Boys arrive to Amazon’s Prime Video streaming service on Fridays.
