The Boys Season 5 Episode 6 cast and characters
Karl Urban as Billy Butcher
Karl Urban’s character, Billy Butcher, was all out finding the V1 in Episode 6. After meeting The Legend in this episode, he plans with the team to kidnap Golden Geisha, the love interest of Bombsight, to lure him. And that even works. However, he was super annoyed after getting attacked by Bombsight, and seeing Homelander take the V1 serum left him with just one word to say: ‘run.’
Jack Quaid as Hughie
Hughie appeared to be facing his own relationship problems with Starlight. However, in Episode 6, he shows support to her and even works as a team in the church. Hughie even saves Starlight at one point by threatening another Supe, Oh Father, about leaking the Supe-killing virus.
Antony Starr as Homelander
Homelander’s journey in The Boys Season 5 is all about finding the V1 just like Butcher. However, his V1 hunting journey comes to an end in The Boys Season 5 Episode 6 after Soldier Boy gives him the serum. He even understands the trap Sister Sage set for him, showing that he is getting clever and understanding all the patterns the Supe is leaving.
Erin Moriarty as Starlight
Starlight, aka Annie, is one of the very first supes who stood against Homelander, and in the ongoing season, she works with the team to bring him down. In The Boys Season 5 Episode 6, she once again meets Oh Father, who tries to take her down, only for Hughie to come and save her. At one point, she and Hughie even share emotional talks sitting on the top of the car, showing that they are finally opening up to each other before their lives take another difficult turn.
Laz Alonso as Mother’s Milk
MM, also known as Mother’s Milk, played an important role in Episode 6, as he was the one who met The Legend and found details on Bombsight. This led the team to Golden Geisha and ultimately V1. However, he gets annoyed at Sister Sage after she brings Soldier Boy into the picture to get their hands on the serum.
Chace Crawford as The Deep
Unlike other The Boys Season 5 episodes, The Deep was one of the biggest villains in this episode. In the previous episode, viewers saw The Deep following Black Noir and learning more about his work. However, in Episode 6, after Black Noir damages the oil pipeline, which leads to the death of many fish, The Deep kills him. On the other hand, he still remains very loyal to Homelander and tries not to provoke him.
Tomer Capone as Frenchie
Frenchie seems to be struggling with Kimiko’s decision to live a normal life. After they kidnap Golden Geisha, he tries understanding Kimiko’s side. Overall, like in every The Boys Season 5 episode, Frenchie remained an important part of the team and continued helping them through the mess.
Karen Fukuhara as Kimiko
Kimiko is one of those Supes who don’t want to hurt people or Supes. Even when Golden Geisha is kidnapped, she tries talking to her, and because of that, she is even saved from Bombsight’s attack. At the same time, she also opens up to Frenchie and tells him about her decision to live a normal life.
Jensen Ackles as Soldier Boy
Soldier Boy turned the whole game in The Boys Season 5 Episode 6 by giving the serum to Homelander. However, that wasn’t the case from the beginning, as he was angry after learning about Stormfront’s death. The episode also included his fight with Bombsight and giving him a new chance to start over with Golden Geisha by taking his powers.
Nathan Mitchell as Black Noir II
This sadly turns out to be Black Noir’s last episode, as he is killed by The Deep. Black Noir, who was upset about his friend and director’s death, provokes The Deep by seeking revenge. He damages the oil pipeline and even tells it proudly to the Supe, making it sound like tit for tat.
Mason Dye as Bombsight
Viewers finally get to see the mystery character of the season, Bombsight, in this The Boys Season 5 episode after he comes to rescue his love, Golden Geisha. Turns out, along with Soldier Boy, even he took the V1 and stole the serum for Geisha, who didn’t take it. In the end, he gives it to Soldier Boy.
Susan Heyward as Sister Sage
Sister Sage’s twisted plan came as a surprise to the viewers who joined hands with Butcher to take down Homelander. While she was the one who called Soldier Boy to fight Bombsight, her plan failed after Soldier Boy gave the V1 to Homelander, leaving her shocked.
Paul Reiser as The Legend
The Legend helped the boys find the V1 and even told them Golden Geisha’s location. On the other hand, he gave Homelander the idea about tracking Sister Sage through the Vought necklace. He went to the Vought retirement house with Kimiko to convince Geisha, only for him to hear no from her.
Naoko Mori as Golden Geisha
Golden Geisha was one of the central characters of The Boys Season 5 episode when it came to finding V1. She is Bombsight’s lover and, after being kidnapped, even asks him not to hurt Kimiko, telling him she doesn’t want anyone else to get hurt because of her. Her character seemed kind yet gentle, and she wanted to live a natural life.
