The Cuphead Show! Characters Explained &#8211; Meet the Adorable Sweeties

An out-and-out love letter to the 1930s animation, The Cuphead Show! has done a
brilliant job in making the animation as authentic as possible. A show based on
a game which is in turn based on a show is a little confusing but The Cuphead
Show! has an array of charming characters to keep you invested.


MEET THE CUPHEAD SHOW! CHARACTERS


CUPHEAD 

[data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==]

The lead character of The Cuphead Show!
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/the-cuphead-show] is funny and immature. His
impulsiveness gets him in the wrong books with Satan and that’s how the
misadventures start. He is jovial and has a loving relationship with his
brother. 


KING DICE 

[data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==]

King Dice is a talk show host who gets in trouble with The Devil when Cuphead
outsmarts him. The character’s mannerisms and expressions make him creepy. 


MUGMAN

More practical than his brother, Mugman also has his moments of comedy. For
instance, when he broke his handle. He struggles with stage fright but has a
cheerful YOLO mentality.

CHALICE 

[data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==]

Chalice always gets her way thanks to her charms, which she uses to her
advantage. In the series, we see her helping out the brothers in their quests.
Although she was friends with the brothers all along, it turns out she was not
nice when she abandoned them. 


THE DEVIL

Old school villain, The Devil
[https://netflixjunkie.com/you-dont-just-get-to-run-away-the-devil-perfectly-sums-up-the-cuphead-show-on-netflix/],
sports a pair of horns and can turn into a serpent. His visual forms would
change along with his emotions. However, he is more funny than scary. Moreover,
he is very easily tricked.


THE VEGETABLES 

The vegetables were sneaky and conniving. The characters double-crossed the
brothers several times throughout The Cuphead Show! Their features would get
smaller and their sizes would increase whenever the three would start scheming. 


PORK RIND

Pork Rind is more of a comical character. He would get angry very easily
especially when dealing with Cuphead and Mugman. The creators have done an
excellent job in adding the nuances to the character. 


RIBBY AND STICKLER 

Ribby and Stickler are always wearing a suit and a pair of boxing gloves! Their
differences lay in both their heights and intellect. 


ELDER KETTLE 

Calm and collected Elder Kettler is more of a father figure to the brothers. He
is the most mature and sensible of all the characters in The Cuphead Show!
although he can be a little naïve at times.
