After Mugman is kidnapped, he finally realizes the consequences of his actions and immediately goes to his rescue despite the danger.

Season 3 marks a big evolution for Cuphead. After saving him from the Devil, Cuphead develops a newfound appreciation for Mugman trying to do better for him. This is shown when the Devil takes Mugman away to make Cuphead pay for stealing his pitchfork. Despite that he loves, dotes, and protects Mugman the best he can as his brother is the most important person to him.

Cuphead sometimes takes Mugman for granted to a point where he heavily relies on him to keep him out of trouble. The brothers tend to argue with each other, but their arguments generally do not last long, although their rivalry was heavily expanded on during season 2. He deeply cares about his brother Mugman. A dream sequence at the beginning of "Sweater Off Dead" shows he is more scared than he lets on. Throughout most of the show, whenever he is reminded that the Devil wants to take his soul, he acts nonchalant about it, but that is because he does not want Mugman to worry about it, nor does he tell Elder Kettle about the Soul Ball mishap, because that means telling him he abandoned his chores as well as put his life in danger. He tends to pretend things are fine when they are not, as suggested by his catchphrase "I ain't too worried about it". However, that does not mean Cuphead doesn't have his vulnerable moments as shown in "lost in the woods," and "Dangerous Mugman." His voice actor, Tru Valentino, describes him as "a troublemaker at heart, but he means well". His confidence and drive for adventure can lead him to appear devious, or get him into trouble, which makes him very cheeky, but at his core, he is kindhearted who wants to do good-but has the tendency to leap before he looks. but trouble always seems to find him- even in the strangest places."Ĭuphead is typically a nice person alongside his younger brother Mugman, enjoying an easygoing and good life, but is relentlessly optimistic. Despite being the older brother, he’s slightly smaller than Mugman. His colors are duller, and yellow-tinted a bit on his head, shorts/pants, and legs, and he has a cartoon-y smile.Ĭuphead is 3'1" tall. As an anthropomorphic cup, his skin has more of a beige tint to it instead of light gray and made of porcelain. He is mostly seen wearing a black, long-sleeve shirt, yellow gloves, red shorts (slightly similar to Mickey Mouse's iconic short overalls), and brown shoes. His face consists of eyes that are very close together with black pie-cut pupils, and a small red nose. As his name suggests, Cuphead's head is a wide cup with what seems to be some sort of liquid inside, topped with a red and white striped straw.
