Cuphead/History

This is the history of Cuphead.

Assassination of Cuphead
"Well, that poor little cup-headed boy must've been so unlucky that he couldn't survive this horrific explosion in here. Now that's kinda sadder than I thought. Now what? Well, it looks not only all of Inkwell Isle's sad about it, but also many worlds are sad about it as well, like everyone in Earth, including me and everybody else who lives in my village as well. Who's behind this murder? Trinh must've behind this."

--Su Ji-Hoon, The Cup Shard During the assassination of Cuphead, he had been killed in an explosion by Trịnh Thị Kim Chánh by using an M72 LAW, then she even stole his soul and leave his body. Maybe he was actually still alive in his soul form, but he has been jailed in Saigon, making the ducangers feel successful that they've finally assassinated him as if they were starting to conquer all of Inkwell Isle.

After his assassination, all of his friends and everyone else in Inkwell Isle are shocked with sorrow about his death and the fate of Inkwell Isle combined all together, even including the rest of the Grand Alliance and many others in Inkwell Isle, especially Mugman and Ms. Chalice.

However, his assassination caused all of his former enemies, and even the Kaiser of the Werman Reich (Cuphead's former archenemy) would feel their regrets so they would feel bad about it since they were used to conquer Inkwell Isle during the USRAC War.

Therefore, Mugman and Ms. Chalice will have their responsibility to save Cuphead's soul for restore him, which started Operation Wallop - one of the largest operations ever started to against the ducanger invaders, so they have to save Cuphead and liberate Inkwell Isle to make it a win-win situation for Mugman and Ms. Chalice, along with all of their friends and all of former enemies alike.

After Operation Wallop, he will be restored so that all of his friends and his former enemies would make him have to do some more heroic ways to combat against The Devil and all their new enemies.
