The Boys Season 5 ends with Homelander expanding government control and declaring himself God, but the grim moment teased by Antony Starr never lands. He briefly gains V1 in Episode 6 and seems more powerful, yet Kimiko de-powers him and Butcher ultimately stops him, leaving Starr’s teased “worst thing” unfulfilled and the finale more about character dynamics than a cataclysmic payoff.

In The Boys Season 5 finale, Homelander attempts to declare godhood on national television, but Ryan’s words reveal his lonely, depraved core; The Boys crash the Oval Office, Kimiko strips Homelander of his powers, and he is killed by Butcher.

The team mourns and goes their separate ways, with Hughie and Annie starting private-hero work, MM remarrying, and Kimiko reflecting on Frenchie. The episode teases future spin-offs like Soldier Boy and Gen V, but critics call the finale crowded and lukewarm, feeling it rushed key moments and leaning on comic-book endings rather than delivering a fully satisfying close.
