- Quick Answer: The Boys Season 5 sets up Vought Rising by introducing the V-One variant, showcasing Bombsight, and exploring the history between Soldier Boy and Stormfront.
The Boys is set to conclude with its fifth and final season, but the franchise continues to expand with the upcoming prequel, Vought Rising.
With only two episodes left before the flagship series officially comes to an end, the story of Vought is only beginning.
As Soldier Boy, Bombsight, and Stormfront are set to lead the prequel and with their stories expected to play major roles in the final episodes, here are the five biggest clues that The Boys Season 5 will set up Vought Rising.
Teasing the Main Vought Rising Characters
While The Boys has featured Soldier Boy since Season 3, Season 5 reveals more about his background.
This includes the fact that the Compound V in his blood is actually V-One, a rare variant possessed by only five Supes, including Soldier Boy.
The others are Stormfront from Season 2, Bombsight (introduced in the current season), Torpedo, and Private Angel.
These five Supes are confirmed to lead Vought Rising, and they are all mentioned or featured in The Boys Season 5.
V-One as a Key Plot of The Boys Season 5
The development of V-One plays a major role in The Boys Season 5, and more details about it are set to be revealed in Vought Rising.
The show has teased Soldier Boy’s traumatic experiences when being injected with the serum.
With this revelation, fans are expected to learn more about V-One when the prequel begins.
Soldier Boy’s Love for Liberty
The Boys Season 5 also reveals Soldier Boy’s past relationship with Liberty, also known as Stormfront.
With the revelation that the two were once a couple even before the events of the series began, it further hints at a major romantic storyline in Vought Rising.
The spinoff may explore how their relationship started and how it eventually fell apart, especially given Stormfront’s fascist views, which ultimately shaped their dynamic in The Boys.
Soldier Boy’s Hatred for Frederick Vought
With his love for Liberty, Soldier Boy has an evident hatred toward Stormfront’s husband, Frederick Vought.
But aside from this love triangle, it looks like there is more to this conflict than just jealousy.
Not much is revealed about Soldier Boy’s ill feelings toward Frederick, but he is visibly angry at him after seeing his photo in The Boys Season 5, Episode 5.
With this tease and Frederick’s influence in The Boys as Vought’s founder, more about his relationship with Soldier Boy will likely be explored in Vought Rising.
The Introduction of Bombsight
The Boys Season 5 has introduced Bombsight, a Supe no one has seen in years, and the only one who still possesses a vial of V-One.
With his importance to the story, there may be more to explore in Bombsight’s backstory in Vought Rising.
This could include his hatred for Soldier Boy, as seen in Episode 6, as well as his decision to resurface after a threat to his lover, Golden Geisha.
The Boys Season 5 drops new episodes every Wednesday on Prime Video.
