In Seasons 2 and 3, Oliver Queen and his former friend Slade Wilson (Deathstroke) harbored bitter hatred for each other, even after Slade received the Mirakuru cure. Slade's attempt to imprison Oliver and Thea in Season 3 showed his lingering anger. However, in the Season 5 finale, Slade sided with Oliver against Prometheus. Their longstanding conflict and deep-seated animosity, stemming from their transformed friendship, enrich the narrative, offering a nostalgic glimpse into their past battles and unresolved bitterness.
