1 MINUTE AGO???

Honestly Im confused. Where did elder kettle get a power so OP that was able to destroy the devil and his soul forbidden pawns. Where did elder kettle get the potion that gave cuphead and mugman their powers. Porkrind probably but if elder kettle did purchase it from porkrind. Where did Porkrind get a potion of such power along with the other potions adding onto the power that Cuphead and Mugman already have?

@@jtanielu21 probably the sailor,he looks like somekind of wizard,but who knows

Also at the beginning there is a news person that gives you coins because you beat the devil

Dude, look at the horns of the devil, when he dies, like 1:26 They are blue and orange

Yea I was wondering was that her true form or just a super

My idea is that her young form is her idealized version of herself (who knows, maybe she just wants to feel like a child again)

Super art 3 is "Legendary Chalice" and regular form is "Miss Chalice"

@@LucDaMan4 i agree with this. Also if the show is canon to Cuphead (in the way how the FNAF books aren't the same timeline as the games but the lore in the books exsist in the games) then the form she takes in the game is her real form

For lore reasons: I think bc she's just switching bodies with one of the boys. The boys are younger than her, so the body she takes on still stays the same age, thus her looking younger For design reasons: they needed to make her cuter/younger so she fits among the cupbrothers

yeah I was wondering why he didn't mention this likely just missed it considering it's pretty big evidence for why this dlc is a sequel

If you talk to the cat without beating the devil he gives different dialogue too.

@@Jaocob. Oh he does? I've only seen people talk to him after they've beat the game so sorry about that

@@VoidWorldGaming yes, the cat says that he thinks the boys aren’t ready, but says he’ll give them a few coins just to help them out

@Good Caterpillar the boys have their powers in the dlc too

The same argument could be made for the other fights so it can also be read that it is obtained beforehand

Or that she wandered off and got herself trapped in there again.

Yeah its pretty obviously canon that dlc takes place after the mausoleums Also probably after the brothers beat the devil because the guy selling the news mentions it

@@kerfrizz3050 He has different dialog if you haven't beat the Devil yet. I'm told he has different dialog if you haven't beat any stages yet, but I haven't verified that myself.

@@MunchKING The credit’s song for the dlc says that the brothers already paid their debts when they first met Chef Saltbaker

I believe I have an answer to why there are no marks on the quote. this is because on the second island of the main game you meet quadratus who when spoken to says “through all your battles and all my rhymes you have failed and perished X times.” Which suggests that the bosses (or even just some of them) don’t themselves say their kill quotes and it is instead him. But since the secret fight is supposedly in the astral plane, he may not have any influence or even know you are there, allowing the angel and devil to say it instead of him. But that is just my way of looking at it.

I know I’m kind of late but I played the secret boss on the ps4 and their death quote had quotation marks

@@voch123 Yeah, I think a patch update added them in. Guess the lack of quotations was an oversight.

@@LuigiMan200 Dang, I liked the theory though

I agree but the planet shaped attacks are the eyes of the red worm boss

u look like deez

*form

I have a bigger question about our boi D'Jimmi: is he an anthropomorphic sausage?

interesting. I think the boatman is a compass. But despite that, timeline wise it does take place after the game, but events wise, since they acknowledge if you beat the devil or not, it might not be a sequel.

@@Pogobro yep

wait he looks like the "tra la la beware hands" guy

@@pomelo9518 from undertale?

@@Pogobro In the opening cutscene of the base game, Devil says that Cuphead & Mugman need to get all soul contracts before midnight tommorow, there's no reason for Cup duo to have a side adventure when their lifes are in risk.

To cook vegetable soul soup

@@daffodilove genius

@@daffodilove he better share

@@markomajstorovic6751 and he did not, thus the bri'ish cups shot the devil with blue nerf bullets

Or one on the height or age of cuphead and mugman

That would suck if it was the case. “It was all a dream!” Just seems so unccreative and bland to me.

the ryhme is referring to the broken charm, which "awoke" and now curses you if you equip (cause it hates bravery) upon beating the bonus boss

@@MrMelonsz it was proven in the achievement that you get after defeating angle and devil that you escaped the nightmare

@@sarafontanini7051 ‘With a greater foe, more evil shall go’ is the rhyme I was referring to. I suspect this implies that though the devil was defeated, there will be a more dangerous threat in the next game (or perhaps it means Saltbaker? I don’t personally think so though)

@@MrMelonsz I personally think it has a more interesting and grounded addition to the lore as a dream. Cuphead dealing with his conscience and questioning how right besting the devil was adds a lot of questions and complexity to an otherwise straight forward narrative. Not to mention the broken hourglass being a commentary on the illusions time plays in our dreams is great in my opinion.

The devil having a angel and a demon is both hilarious and somewhat concerning

Yeah, because they transform into each other.

*the comma should be before the mainly, not after it.

I actually pondered that maybe the Angel would be whatever shred of goodness remains in The Devil. Especially since the Angel is pushed aside by the Demon in the game over screen and doesn't really do much to help you. If anything, it also reinforces that the Devil could choose to be good if he gave a damn about it, but he much prefers to be evil and can't resist its tempting call. This could also be seen in The Cuphead Show when he and Cuphead are on the verge of becoming sorta friends until the Devil finds out he's not wearing the magic sweater, which leads him into going right back to snatching up his soul.

@@muddashucka9743 oh no, the grammar police are here

you can just see it in the files. it was a scrapped phase of the devil

That’s actually the entire original concept!

thanks for saying it for me lol

I agree. If the Devil really was important to Saltbaker's plans, I feel like Saltbaker would have mentioned him in the speech before his boss battle. Saltbaker really seems like someone who wants all the power for himself.

Pehaps, but doesn’t salt ward off evil? If anything, I would think he’s trying to destroy the devil using the astral plane

I think that the most reasonable explanation would be that saltbaker started as a regular chef, then started experimenting with food and discovered astral plane. Maybe by accident, most likely he was tempted by the devil but didn't gave in. Now with the knowledge of astral plane his cooking reached new high. Probably somewhere along he found miss chalice. His persuit of combining cooking and astral plane drove him crazy which would explain why he wanted to gain control over whole astral plane. But that's just a theory. A game

If Saltbaker had a contract then why wouldnt the devil ask Cuphead to also go after him since he needed all the soul contracts?

@@bgoinsowo1277 probably forgot about him

The newspaper boy has 2 dialog options. 1 after you defeat the devil and 1 before you defeat him

@@Pionterus So the fight has nothing to do with if the Devil has been defeated or not, the dlc takes place whenever you decide to visit it.

@@squibi-o5522 most likely

@@squibi-o5522 Yep, if you go to inkwell isle 4 before beating the devil, the dude has a different dialogue, so even though it is a sequel lore wise, you can visit it whenever you want in game

He did if your not playing as ms.Chalice

"If you sent that imp packing" is said also in reference to the Devil.

oh snap you are right NICE!

He only says that if you beat the devil. If you haven't, he says something about Isle 4 being a place you can't handle- or something like that, I don't remember off the top of my head. So technically the DLC can take place at any time.

@@vinni3bobinnie511 he says something like “you look like people who can’t fight.” And stuff

Also if you play as Mugman instead of Cuphead, then use the astral cookie, Mugman's soul will get taken in single player mode.

Plus he still needs the player to gather the ingredients for the wondertart

This skeleton is Devil's

yeah the astral plane is more a concept then a fully fleshed out story beat

My question is why is the Angel even working with the devil. He looks like he should be a good guy

@@mysteriousdestiny6672 yeah I know as in the defeat picture they seem to be crying and when you defeat them they have a surprised almost betrayed look on their face

@@hoppy78 Exactly, in the defeat photo it looks like he feels bad. And even in the fight, his attacks don't hurt you..but like then when you lose the battle he looks shocked.

yep! I totally forgot supers had descriptions. Will probably have to do a part 2

@@Pogobro I wonder if the reason has his body back after the fight is because of the fact that you're able to (and actively encouraged to) Parry Saltbaker's heart. Like how when you Parry the heart of the ghost of Cuphead, Mugman or Ms. Chalice when they die. They just magically get their bodies back

Yep, all of the Super Arts are related to souls in some way: Super Art 1 for Cuphead and Mugman is a beam of energy that comes from their straws. That beam of light is made from their liquids that are inside their heads. A common theory is that these liquids inside the cup brothers heads are actually a symbolic representation of their souls. So the Super Art 1 is literally Cuphead and Mugman firing their souls in the form of a beam of energy; Super Art 2 for Cuphead and Mugman is literally crossing the Astral Realm in order to become an ethereal ghost like being, but without actually turning into a ghost, as they are still able to interact with the physical world; And finally, Super Art 3 for Cuphead and Mugman is literally a copy n' paste of the Stands from Jojo: they're able to manipulate the very own essence of their souls in order to beat the shit out of their opponents. Now, an explanation as to why Mrs Chalice's Super Arts are different is that she's able to utilize more advanced Astral techniques than Cuphead and Mugman, as she's more experienced with the Astral Plane. In her second Super Art, she literally MATERIALIZES a shield for her, while in her third Super Art, not only is she able to change her appeareance, but literally summons a whole army of ghost dishes. She CLEARLY has more control over these Astral powers rather than Cuphead and Mugman. Maybe Saltbaker is obssessed with all of this power and wants it all for himself. As a final theory, i'd like to point out that the whole Cuphead's arsenal might be Astral based. We already established the conection between the Astral Plane and the Super Arts. To be able to utilize a Super Art, you have to to have a full Super Meter. So maybe, Cuphead's bullets are actually made of this "Astral energy", and the more Cuphead hits his enemy with it, the more this "Astral meter" is filled, allowing him to utilize more powerful Astral techniques, those being the EX moves, until the bar gets full, where he's finaly able to use the fully fledged out Super Arts.

yeah still no idea what thats about

As a side note, maybe the devil can take souls because he came from the astral plane, and therefore knows how souls work. Heck his powers may even come from the astral plane, but there's no way to prove or disprove any of that it's just a cool theory

if you beat the devil i think

That’s only if you beat the devil first, he has different dialogue if you haven’t.

thats a great theory wow. i gotta start digging deeper if Im gonna make these videos

Finnaly someone said it! I came in the comments specially for this

this is gonna be the same thing as the mushroom reference from last video

@@Pogobro Thanks for the heart. And sorry if this came off rude lol, just wanted to put that on the table

how could I miss this oof

He only says that IF you have beaten the devil. If that is not the case he'll note that you've still got some way to go and gives you the coins as a little aid instead of as a reward.

The newspaper kid says you defeated the devil, not killed. And once you beat the devil it shows him beat up and raising a white flag, still clearly alive. Also you have the ability to the DLC and this boss before you even beat the devil

What are the "ACME"?

ACME is just a reference

ACME is most likely just in reference to the ACME company in Loony Tunes,

He can capture mrs chalice if you play as cuphead

You cut your “please subscribe” message at the end off. You also had some typos.

@@Spytagen the ending was on purpose

He only ays that if you beat the devil. If you do the dlc before he gives you coins out of pity

thanks! slowly getting better I think

yes I believe they are connected

since the secret boss was originally phase 1.5 of the devil fight, maybe the skeleton would've faded away back into the devil once the phase was completed, in which that unused animation would be played

@@OctoNap maybe when you are in the Astral Plane you can travel in time and time

thanks :)

interesting, for me Esther was about 4 tried, salt baker was 7

@@Pogobro and actually howing aces was the last boss i beat out of the normal ones and it still took longer than salkbaker howling aces is not hard untill you get to the final phase but still probs my fav dlc boss so 😐

@@RachelForbeshowling aces animation is SO good

@@Pogobro ikr but the screen flipping messes me up...

oh thats really cool!

No the devil tried to steal cuphead and mugmans soul

@@yoshi282 because they lost in gambling against the devil

@@TeaTabby The devil is evil

@@studiosx8561 yes, the devil is evil, but they still gambled against him and lost

However the only issue with this idea is that you can fight this boss before beating the devil.

oh I like that

it depends on when you go
