The Cuphead Show has proven quite popular, especially with fans of the game.
While the show features plenty of characters straight out of the game…
Like fan favorite King Dice or The Devil…
As well as original characters we love like everyone’s favorite Henchman.
But, like many adaptations, people have been asking for other characters from the game
to cross on over to the show, and with plenty of representatives already, it wouldn’t
be a surprise to see some of these characters arrive.
I’m Kyle with WickedBinge and this is Cuphead Game Characters We’d Like to See in The
Cuphead Show.
So let’s get to talking about some of the characters we’d like to see in the show,
these are The Characters
The first character we’d like to see come to the show is Cagney Carnation.
Cagney is a large flower creature and the typical final boss of Inkwell Isle One.
Considering every other Isle One boss (save for one) has made at least a cameo in the
show, it would make a lot of sense for him to pop up.
Cagney is shown to be kind of crazy and more than happy to murder the cups when they come
for his soul.
He could have a very interesting episode where he’s doing all kinds of fun and weird stuff
to the cups, especially considering all of his plant-based powers.
Cagney’s an interesting case because he’s also a fan-favorite, which means it’s likely
he’ll arrive somewhere along the line.
The other Isle One Character we’d like to see is Goopy Le Grande.
Goopy is a large slime creature jumping around in Isle One, appearing as one of the earliest
bosses you can face off against.
He is a very interesting character because of the way he fights, initially with a few
punches before taking some sort of steroidal pill that turns him giant.
Likely we’d see the smaller form at first, probably thinking he is too small or weak
for something before finding and or ingesting this jellybean he finds.
Goopy’s large form is more iconic but what really takes the cake is instead his death,
where his own grave kills him and then attacks the cups.
Likely the end of the episode would feature this grave or some other reference to it,
which would make a very good episode in our eyes and could tackle a powerful subject about
self-image using this angry slime.
Another character we’d like to see is Beppi The Clown.
Beppi is a carnival clown you face off against in Carnival Kerfuffle, where he utilizes carnival
equipment against the cups.
With the first episode featuring and focusing on the Devil’s carnival “Carn-Evil”
it would have made sense for him to appear, and it’s not too late.
Much like Cagney, he’s a fan favorite, even if his fight is considered one of the harder
ones.
Beppi could make a very chaotic but fun episode, and we’d love to see him pop up even if
it’s only breifly like Sally does.
Jumping forward quite a bit, we want to see Chef Saltbaker.
Saltbaker is the main villain of the Delicious Last Course DLC that came out not too long
ago.
It’s implied he’s worked with the devil to some degree and as such it makes sense
for him to pop up as one of the Devil’s many minions in the show, especially since
Henchman, Stickler and King Dice all make hefty appearances.
Saltbaker could be the main antagonist of his own arc even, and with Ms. Chalice playing
a major role it would make sense for her mortal enemy, the villain of her DLC to pop up as
well.
Now, if he pops up, using the Astral Cookies or even the whole cooking thing could be a
fun way to mix up the things that Cuphead and Mugman do, in fact, maybe they could train
under and later annoy him.
We think he’d make a very good part of this show, so it’s no wonder he’s on our list.
Speaking of the DLC, The King of Games would be an interesting character to include.
He’s not the most well-known or fan-favorite character but he could be the most interesting
to include.
Being a king from a chessboard and being part of a large company of chess pieces, the King
could provide an interesting plot.
Have Cuphead and Mugman try to play chess with them or hell, another game, maybe Cuphead
and co are turned into chess pieces.
This is mostly because many people theorize that the King may have a dark side and it
could be fun to explore that angle.
Another weird choice, Canteen Hughes could be good to see in the show.
Canteen Hughes is an NPC who’s been popping up throughout the game since the first aisle.
He is the one who introduces the cups to the aeroplanes and even upgrades it for them in
the second isle.
He’s a large humanoid canteen and much like Ludwig, it would make sense for this NPC to
get an appearance.
He’s seen as one of the most important NPCs in the game alongside the Chalice who become
playable.
He even makes another appearance in the D LC where he flies the plane that the boss
fight “Doggone Dogfight” takes place on.
Maybe he gives Cuphead, Mugman and Chalice access to planes in the show as well, maybe
he even becomes a recurring character like Bowlboy and has multiple appearances.
Either way, Hughes would make a great character and we’d love to see him.
The next character we think could pop up is Dr. Kahl and his Robot.
Kahl is a mad scientist who lives in a junkyard and a boss you face in Isle 2.
Kahl could be an interesting character because his intelligence could rival that of others
we see in the show.
Maybe they mess with him while he’s building and making him mess up, or maybe they find
a robot of his roaming around and try and get it back.
It doesn’t matter, Kahl and his robot are well-recognized parts of the game and it would
make sense for them to pop up at least once.
Up next on our list of characters we’d like to see appear is The King’s Court.
By the King’s Court we refer to King Dice’s nine minions you face off against in the King
Dice boss fight.
Each of these bosses are interesting and have a unique spin on typical gambling apparati
that makes them fun and unique.
Whether it be Phear Leap with his horse betting and small sort of cameo in the show, or Chips
Bettigan with his poker theming each of these bosses could even have their own episode if
they so wished to do.
But, the most likely scenario for these gambling villains is they’ll appear in Inkwell Hell
at the beginning of Season 3.
But, the ones we’d most like to see are Mangosteen the eight ball, the aforementioned
Chips Bettigan, Mr. Wheezy, the living cigar and Pirouletta, the sentient roulette wheel.
Sure, we are aware that do make a cameo in one of the episodes, and we’d be remiss
to not mention them here.
However, we’re talking about the group as a whole, and the four we mentioned specifically.
If even two of those four pop up in the following seasons, we’d be happy with that.
Maybe a weird one, but we want to see The Announcer pop up.
The Announcer is an unseen character but he’s always been around since the very beginning.
Now, while we don’t see a physical form of his, we do know their voice and they do
play an important role in the game and the story.
We can imagine this character existing specifically to break the fourth wall or be in reference
to the game.
Maybe we meet an in-universe cartoon voice actor who has the voice and says his catchphrases.
It doesn’t matter, we think the Announcer popping up would be a fun joke at worst and
a very interesting idea at best.
Jumping to Inkwell Isle 2 once more, we have Djimmi the Great.
Djimmi is a genie and a very powerful character that we meet early on into the game, as he’s
one of the first bosses in Isle 2.
Djimmi would have a very fun and interesting episode and was one of the most requested
bosses we’ve seen beyond Cala and Bon Bon to come to the series.
Djimmi is full of surprises and with magic he could make a very fun episode at the least,
but more likely than not, he’d be a fun trickster who plays around with Cuphead and
Mugman in fun and interesting ways.
Maybe the entire episode could feature elements of mythology that Djimmi comes from or the
egyptian themes his entire battle has.
Djimmi would also benefit from a fun voice actor and a lot of animation to work with.
Maybe he could be like Ribby and Croaks or even King Dice where he makes multiple appearances
over the seasons just to have a lot of unique plots.
We would like to see Cuphead and Mugman getting wishes from Djimmi and maybe they go wrong
like a monkey’s paw.
Djimmi could have a million stories about him thanks to being a genie, which has a millions
ways to play.
Maybe Djimmi is benevolent and helpful or he’s a malicious dude who likes to ruin
people’s wishes just for fun so that he could do what he wants.
Djimmi is something we would love to see, and thanks to having a lot of fans, we wouldn’t
be surprise to see him pop up.
Another character we’d love to see, at least to some degree is Rumor Honeybottoms.
Rumor is the queen of the bees, a large bee that exists in a giant honeycomb on Isle Three.
Now, the reason we think she NEEDS to appear and quickly is because of what we’ve seen
in the show so far.
The police force on Inkwell Isle are all bees, much like the Security Bees in Rumor’s hive.
This implies to us, that Rumor has some sort of high status on the Inkwell Isles.
We believe she should be or is the chief of police if not even higher than that, sure,
we saw a pretty high ranking bee in Season 2, but even if she was the chief she likely
answers to someone higher since she was on patrol.
Rumor would make a very interesting episode, especially since Chalice is likely on the
most wanted list and Cuphead and Mugman keep avoiding jail time for their crimes, which
we’ve dissected before.
Now, a lot of people hate Rumor because she is exceedingly difficult, so it would be nice
to include her as a very hatable character in the show, because that would definitely
make a few people happy, since we love to hate her.
Jumping back to the DLC, Mortimer Freeze would be fun to come into the show.
Of the many DLC bosses, Mortimer is a very interesting one, being the leader of an icey
cult that worships him as far as we’re aware.
This snow-miser looking fella is full of fun tricks and interesting ideas for plots.
Maybe he could try to convince Chalice or the others to join his cult, or maybe he’s
a different style of religious leader maybe a rival to the Bishop from King’s Leap.
Mortimer’s ice abilities could come into play, maybe he could try to freeze the isles
in a supervillain-esque plan, but all in all, Mortimer would have an interesting episode
to say the least.
Also from the DLC, Sheriff Esther Winchester should also pop up in the show sometime.
Esther is the sheriff on Inkwell Isle Four, however, she seems to be corrupt to some degree,
as she not only faces off against the cups but lives shockingly close to moonshiners
and does nothing about it.
Esther uses literal snake oil against her opponents which implies she may sell it to
unsuspecting commoners and she turns into a can of sausage at the end of her fight.
Winchester is an interesting case and she’d make a fun episode.
Especially considering, like Rumor, she could have connections with the police, which we’ve
already seen throughout the show.
Maybe she’s like a bounty hunter who tries to find and arrest Cuphead and Mugman for
escaping prison as we saw at the beginning of Season 2.
Esther could even be a corrupt cop with the Moonshine Mob and maybe even help Cuphead
and Mugman escape the law.
There’s a few ways her story could go in the show and we’d love to see it.
The final character we’ll be talking about today is the aforementioned Moonshine Mob.
The Moonshine Mob are a group of anthropomorphic criminal bugs who appear during the DLC.
Now, much like Esther, theres a lot of possible ways to take the story of these bugs, they
could be moonshiners as we see in the game, we could see them being more general criminals
that the cups accidentally shack up with.
With each of the members and their distinct personalities it would be a shame not to use
them, especially since criminals like this could be buying or selling in Porkrind’s
black market and we could even see them holding up a whole episode on their own like the Root
Pack did.
But let us know in the comment section if you agree with our ranking.
And tell us what we should cover next.
