Cuphead (The Cuphead Show!)

Cuphead is the titular character and one of the two main protagonists (alongside Mugman) of the Netflix animated series . He is a mischievous boy who lives with his younger brother, Mugman, and their caretaker, Elder Kettle, in the woods on Inkwell Isle. Together with Mugman, Cuphead has gone on plenty of thrilling misadventures. He also tries to avoid The Devil so he doesn't take his soul.
He is voiced by in English, while he is also voiced by in the Japanese dub.
==Appearance==
He is a normal cup with a normal white body and a teacup as his head. He appears to be wearing a black shirt, a red and white striped bent straw protruding out the back of his head, along with liquid (you can also call it Milk) filling his head. He has large half-circle eyes and a small red nose. He wears yellow gloves like Bugs Bunny from the old Looney Tunes cartoons and "Looney Tunes Cartoons" TV Show, red shorts, and brown shoes. However his gloves is different just like in the game.
For another appearances, Cuphead also wears red underwear and another appearance. For a couple, he wore an invisible sweater to prevent the Devil from taking his soul.
==Personality==
In The Cuphead Show!, his personality doesn't really have many changes compared to the video game version. However, he is notably cockier and more reckless. Compared to the game and the show, Cuphead and Mugman fight, while it never happens in the game, either because of an actual reason, or simply because they are "not supposed to" even though it's a rule. Although he is not utterly dimwitted, Cuphead is prone to making foolishness decisions. While a contestant on the gameshow "Roll the Dice", He was unable to name the well-known nursery rhyme "Twinkle twinkle, little star", and in the episode Sweater Luck Next Time, he takes off the sweater even though it can save his life from danger while the Devil is there to get him. However, the latter scenario could also suggest that Cuphead may occasionally lack a sense of self preservation, possibly brought on as a result of his own reckless nature, as well as he seemed to become smarter and more responsible in the third season of the show.

You're waaaaaaaaayyyyyyy shorter in person". King Dice decided to take his break before he start after his break, King Dice decided to ask him questions/guessings about the songs.

===Season 2===
===Season 3===
== Abilities ==
Although he doesn't have the powers he obtained in the game, due to Elder Kettle still being unaware the Devil's after the boys, Cuphead isn't helpless.
Cuphead is fast, Durable, and able to detach his head.
Cuphead has excellent aim as he was able to land every ball in the hole in soul ball, until Mugman made him miss.
He is shown to be crafty at times, being able to think of plans quickly that could potentially help or harm him in the process.
Cuphead has a unique musical talent as shown in the intro and the episode "Piano Lessons." He has hardly ever played piano, yet was able to pick it up quick.
Cuphead may have some form of unique luck as he was able to escape certain deadly situations at the last second without a scratch as show in "Lost in the Woods," "Another Brother," and "Piano Lessons." though this doesn't always help him in other situations such as High Seas adventures of Dangerous Mugman.
Cuphead may have some skill in swordsmanship as he and Mugman were playing with some swords on Brineybeard's ship, though his skill level doesn't match up to Mugman's.
Upon obtaining the Devil's pitchfork, Cuphead is able to wield it's power for both destructive and creative purposes. 
== Weaknesses ==
Cuphead's biggest flaws are his tendencies to rush in without thinking half the time. He tends to be more oblivious to the world around him, not even noticing half the time when someone wants to do harm to him, in cases like "Release the Demons."
Cuphead tends to rely heavily on Mugman, as the two are almost never apart from each other. This, combined with his lack of responsibility, can make him helpless without Mugman. 
Ultimately Cuphead's family and friends, are Cuphead's biggest weaknesses, especially Mugman who is the most important person in his life. He was devastated when his brother was taken away by the Devil as punishment for stealing his pitchfork.
==Quotes==
==Trivia==
*Instead of him taking soul contracts just like in the game, he simply goes on adventures with Mugman and tries to avoid the Devil from stealing his soul if he ever crosses paths with him.
*He doesn't seem to have the powers that he's obtained in the game. This makes sense, as Elder Kettle in the Show is still unaware that the Devil is after Cuphead's soul and, therefore, hasn't yet given the boys the potion that gave them their in-game powers.
**However, he can take off his head, which is an in-game trait.
*His favorite song is "The Daring Young Man On The Flying Trapeze."
