HenchDevil

HenchDevil is the slash ship between The Devil and Henchman from the Cuphead fandom.

Canon
In the game, Henchman appears as one of the fat demons, who are enemies fought in the One Hell Of A Time boss level of Inkwell Hell. They only appear in the third phase of the fight, where they are brought into the stage as the Devil grabs their backs with his hands and drops them into the ring. The Devil stops summoning them after he gets damaged enough and starts crying.

In The Cuphead Show!, Henchman and the Devil are usually seen with each other, at least when the latter is in the Underworld and not trying to take Cuphead's soul.

In "Carn-Evil" (S1E1) Henchman is writing down the soul counter before the Devil starts singing, during which he smiles upon noticing his boss. During the song where the Devil starts dancing, he interruptedly tells him that the soul counter has surprisingly stopped. Later when Cuphead and Mugman escape the Carn-Evil, which is breaking down at this point, he catches up with the Devil and expresses his surprise as he has never seen him let someone escape before. The Devil tells him that he didn't escape and insists to get revenge on Cuphead by taking what he owes him: his soul. When Henchman corrects the Devil when he refers to Cuphead simply as "Cup" by adding the word "Head" immediately afterwards, the king of the Underworld hits him on the head with his trident.

In "Roll the Dice" (S1E5), Henchman is sent to retrieve King Dice after his failure to obtain Cuphead's soul. He excitedly asks for King Dice's autograph in the elevator down to Inkwell Hell, but is rejected. The Devil seems to appreciate Henchman, such as knowing that he is a big fan of King Dice's show and never misses an episode. After the Devil admonishes King Dice for disappointing him and letting Cuphead get away, he announces that King Dice is no longer his Number One and demotes him from hosting his show. Instead, he gives the position to Henchman. He is much clumsier dancer than King Dice, and falls into a band member's tuba as the episode ends.

In "Sweater Off Dead" (S1E8), Henchman is touring the Gluttony Department with the Devil, before the Devil holds a party in celebration of collecting souls. He then joins in on a conga line from the Devil after he tries to get rid of Stickler. After the Devil has to go out to collect Cuphead's soul, Henchman sarcastically compliments Stickler. According to Megan Ann Boyd, there was actually going to be a scene where the Devil would've asked Henchman to dance with him, in order to avoid Stickler.

Henchman cares for The Devil and wants to do everything to help him, such as trying to cheer him up with some cake and caring for his wounds, as shown in "Sweater Luck Next Time" (S1E9). Demonstrated in the same episode, The Devil trusts Henchman enough to admit to him that he failed to get Cuphead's soul. The Devil also seems to pay attention to Henchman's advice, notably concerning the Obliterator, which could allow him to force Cuphead to remove his invisible sweater.

The Devil noticeably avoids targeting Henchman in all of his attacks, which is specifically shown in "Release the Demons!" (S2E8). Seeing the Devil tearing the pages of a book entitled "Controlling Your Rage," still upset about not having retrieved Cuphead's soul yet, Henchman tries to lighten up his mood by complimenting him about his fur having almost grown back and attempts to calm him down with some tea, to no avail as the Devil blasts it with his pitchfork once he hears the word "cup" (not having left a scratch on his assistant). He is later seen helping the Devil send a squad of his finest demons. However, as he expresses his vengeance about Cuphead, he accidentally ends up destroying them, as well as his second finest demons. Over the course of this, Henchman demonstrates his cognizance of the Devil's incinerating outbursts, hiding behind a stalagmite and later pulling King Dice back too. Throughout most of the episode, Henchman corrects the Devil when he refers to Cuphead as "cup". Although it's clear that the Devil is very annoyed by this, he merely thanks Henchman for reminding him.

In "The Devil's Pitchfork" (S2E13), Henchman attempts to cheer the Devil up, who is upset over no longer being able to collect Cuphead's soul because he missed the deadline, by reading the headline of the newspaper. This doesn't work until he hears a review about him, and how that his touch is getting frantically weaker, thus angering him and using his pitchfork to roast the newspaper. Henchman then encourages the Devil to cause mischief around Inkwell Isles and thus finally cheers up the Devil, who thanks him (sincerely this time) and goes out to do so. Afterwards, the Devil blissfully tells Henchman about the trouble he caused. Later in the same episode, Henchman helps him look for his pitchfork and tells him to retrace his steps, which makes him realize that he left it lying against a tree. Shortly thereafter, they find Cuphead and Mugman are the ones who have Devil's pitchfork. The two demons are later seen descending with Mugman in the elevator, leaving Cuphead standing in the woods alone, devastated.

Despite the fact that he gave the invisible sweater to Stickler, who the Devil is incredibly fed up with, the king of the underworld does not seem to be angry with Henchman about it after he finds out and doesn't even bring it up.

The two demons' relationship with the each other is fleshed out considerably in the third season. In "The Devil's Revenge!" (S3E1), Henchman and the Devil make a friendly bet over whether the Devil will succeed or fail to break Mugman's spirit before the clock strikes twelve, where the Devil bets he will. Knowing how slimy the Devil is when it comes to betting, Henchman is quick to warn him not to cheat beforehand, cutting him to the quick. Over the course of the episode, while the Devil tries to win the bet without cheats, he eventually attempts to cheat after noticing that it's almost twelve. He lies to Henchman about having some dry cleaning for him to pick up. Though temporarily fooled, the Fat Demon is quick to realise his boss is lying and catches him in the act when he tries to turn the clock back. Although the Devil tries to excuse himself, Henchman is not convinced in the least and expresses his disappointment in the Devil for trying to play dirty. The Devil, still trying to cover his tracks, calls Henchman rude, to which his assistant only responds that he ought to be ashamed of himself. Through this, it is shown that while the Devil can trick others into numerous situations, such as giving their souls, he really can't fool Henchman. They briefly argue until they notice the cup brothers escaping. At the end of the episode, Henchman has won the bet.

In "Cupstaged" (S3E3), the Devil holds a performance for his workers. However, Henchman is the only demon to cheer for him as the other spectators are not that intrigued. Later, Henchman accompanies the Devil after learning that Sally Stageplay is hosting auditions for Inkwell Isle's most ambitious show to date: Cup Rogers vs. The Meteor: A New Space Opera. The Devil's motivation to audition is that while he may be feared, he wants to be adored and appreciated in the theatrical arts. Though Henchman claims that he adores him, the Devil insists that he wants to be appreciated by random strangers.

In "Roadkill" (S3E4), The Devil orders Henchman to bring more doughnuts after Stickler has made him drop his. Due to his indolence in retrieving all the souls he lost due to Cuphead and Mugman or collecting souls in general, the Devil, according to Stickler, has activated the Bubbles of Failure that entomb everything the Devil cherishes (that he himself designed) to encourage soul collection. If he doesn't collect a single soul within a business day, all assets will remain permanently seized. Henchman also appears in one of those bubbles, heavily implying that, despite the Devil’s rudeness, he genuinely does have affection for him. Near the end of the episode, after The Devil returns to the Underworld, having brought back a soul (the Telephone's), he catches his assistant after the bubbles begin to break, leaving the Fat Demon flattered. He asks if he got more doughnuts, to which he replies that he couldn't as he was in the bubble.

The two demons are the focus characters in "A Very Devil Christmas" (S3E6). The special is focused on the Devil trying to enter Santa's nice list (with Henchman's assistance) and helping him deliver the toys in order to get a toy train. After the Devil learns about the "Nice List" and the "Naughty List", he returns to the Underworld during a round table discussion and learns that Henchman and the other Imps already knew about them. The Devil asks Henchman why he didn't tell him about the "Nice List", to which he replies that he (quite rightly) didn't think it was his type of list as he is evil to the core. After a visit to the North Pole, where the Devil asks Santa Claus for the toy train he wants and later gets assistance to gain a place on the Nice List by turning into Santa, he and Henchman begin a journey to deliver the gifts for everyone on the Nice List. Throughout the episode, it's shown that Henchman is not only adept at managing his boss' mood swings, but also giving him the right encouragement to snap him out of his slumps. Additionally, another example of the Devil listening to Henchman's advice is shown when the Fat Demon suggests he uses his pitchfork to get inside houses to deliver the presents rather than go through the chimneys, as he had difficulty doing so. With their last destination being Cuphead and Mugman's house, it is then that the Devil discovers that the gift Cuphead wants is the same toy train he wants. Though considering to keep it at first, the Devil eventually lets the little cup have it, who wishes him a Merry Christmas (without knowing that he isn't Santa). As it was something nice to do, the two demons are delighted to see that the Devil's name has been added to the Nice List. When they return to the North Pole, having successfully delivered the presents, the Devil soon turns back to normal. When he asks Santa about a toy train again, Santa tells him that his present is even better than that: the joy of being nice. Though Henchman is touched, the Devil becomes furious and quickly ushers Henchman to return to the Underworld. At the end of the episode, the Devil is upset about not getting the train he wanted, even after doing everything he was supposed to, only to be greeted with a surprise: a bigger train with an even better "choo-choo" sound than the one he originally wanted. Believing that it was Santa Claus that brought it to him, he blissfully jumps aboard and starts playing with it. It's then revealed that it was Henchman that built it for him. Smiling from behind his boss' throne, he wishes the Devil a Merry Christmas.

In "Down & Out" (S3E8) the Devil and Henchman come across King Dice again after they decide to go to the "new club" the latter heard about (mainly to avoid going through a ledger review with Stickler). There, they find Dice performing. During the break, the Devil tells Henchman to wait outside and confronts Dice, reminding him of the last time he was unable to capture Cuphead, revealing that, if he failed, he would destroy him. However, instead of being terrified, King Dice reassures him that it's all part of his plan to make up for it: with Cuphead believing to be his "manager", he's planning on getting him to sign a business contract, which gives ownership of his soul directly to the Devil. Hearing this, the demon decides to give his former Number One one last chance. King Dice presents the scroll to Cuphead as a contract that confirms the cup as his official manager, only to be turned down, with Cuphead claiming that "music's out and comedy's in", using Mugman's ventriloquism as an example. This infuriates the Devil, who proceeds to leave with Henchman back to the Underworld. Just before they get in the elevator, they notice Dice walking out of the barn and the Devil stops him. Near the end of the episode, however, a more positive interaction is seen between the two. While the Devil is very disappointed in King Dice, he admits that Dice "has something that's been sorely lacking from the organisation for too long" and how it needs "his glitz, pizzazz, and razzle-dazzle." Though baffled at first, King Dice agrees and the two demons welcome him into the elevator with them.

In "Dance with Danger" (S3E10), the Devil and Henchman appear alongside each other when Chalice makes a deal with the Devil to be resurrected.

In "The Devil & Ms. Chalice" (S3E11), Henchman cheers for the Devil and Chalice after having performed a dance routine. The king of the Underworld and his assistant are later seen observing Chalice to ensure she holds her end of the favor to betray Cuphead and Mugman, and get them to sign soul contracts. After she rips the contract, the Devil becomes infuriated and, after a bit of pushing from Chalice claiming her dancing to be the best, suggests to sort things out with a dancing competition. If she wins, she gets her life and doesn't own the Devil anything. If the Devil wins, he obliterates Chalice. Eventually, the Devil wins. Just as he is about to obliterate Chalice with his pitchfork, Cuphead steps in and challenges the Devil to a "Rock, Paper, Scissors" competition. If the Devil wins again, he turns Chalice to ashes and claims Cuphead and Mugman's souls. Beforehand, he orders Henchman to hold his pitchfork (a smaller example of his trust towards his assistant) and begins the challenge with Cuphead, which the latter wins multiple times, subsequently upsetting the Devil more. The Devil desperately demands a rematch but Henchman tells him it's time to go. Admitting to having been defeated, the Devil hangs his head in disappointment. As the two demons head to the elevator, Henchman comforts the Devil and manages to brighten him up a little bit by giving him his pitchfork, as it always cheers him up, and offering to draw him a bath, to which the Devil expresses gratitude.

Carn-Evil

 * Henchman is writing down the soul counter before the Devil starts singing, during which he smiles upon noticing his boss.

Roll the Dice

 * Henchman informs the Devil that he has a phone call (from King Dice) while his boss is taking a bubble bath. Henchman doesn't appear awkward or shy seeing him like this.
 * A hint to the Devil's appreciation for Henchman, as he knows he is a big fan of King Dice's show and never misses an episode.

Sweater Off Dead

 * Henchman yells at Stickler for pestering the Devil about Cuphead's soul. He does care about his boss.

Sweater Luck Next Time

 * Henchman tries to cheer the Devil up with some cake.


 * The Devil confides in Henchman that he failed to get Cuphead's soul.


 * Henchman tends to the Devil's wounds after Mugman makes him wear the invisible sweater, long enough to singe the fur off the areas where the wool met his body. The Devil doesn't chide him as the iodine stings, and Henchman apologises.

Release the Demons!

 * The episode opens with Henchman wanting to help the Devil relax and feel better in light of his fur regrowing back after last time and bringing him tea.
 * Over the course of the episode, Henchman demonstrates his cognizance of the Devil's incinerating outbursts, hiding behind a stalagmite and later pulling King Dice back too.
 * Throughout most of the episode, Henchman corrects the Devil when he refers to Cuphead as "cup". Although it's clear that the Devil is very annoyed by this, he merely thanks Henchman for reminding him.
 * At one point in the episode, the Devil has seemingly just gone out of the bathroom (likely to take a shower to calm himself), as he later apppears wrapped up in towels. The Devil doesn't seem embarrassed appearing like that in front of Henchman, who's also not embarrassed to see him like this.

The Devil’s Pitchfork

 * Henchman gives the Devil two thumbs-up for "effortlessly tempting mortals into unhinged depravity", as it is said in the newspaper.
 * Henchman encourages the Devil to take a day to himself and wreak havoc in the world to prove how he’s still the fearsome Devil he is after a poor newspaper review gets his boss down. The Devil takes the advice to heart and genuinely thanks Henchman for it, moving the latter to tears - and prompting him to say "That's my boss!"


 * The Devil later gushes to Henchman about his day making mortals miserable. Henchman giddily asks him for details like a friend asking another about a date gone well, to which the Devil happily obliges.


 * When the Devil grows frantic and upset upon realising he misplaced his titular pitchfork, Henchman is quick to help. Even as the Devil lashes out, Henchman keeps calm and gets the Devil to simmer down so he can retrace his steps.

The Devil's Revenge!

 * The fact that Henchman is likely the only person who is aware of the Devil's pitchfork being part of a utensil set along with a large golden spoon, something the latter finds incredibly embarrassing.
 * So as to notify him about the cup brothers escaping, Henchman forcibly turns the Devil around by the hips. While it's likely because it's the highest he can reach without flying, the Devil, surprisingly, does not react gauchely to this.

Cupstaged

 * While cheering for the Devil after his performance for the Underworld's workers, Henchman jumps off his seat and exclaims (once again) "That's my boss!"
 * As the Devil is insisting he needs to secure the lead role in 'Cup Rodgers' because he needs to be "adored", Henchman says with big loving eyes: "Uh, I adore ya, boss."

Roadkill

 * When bubble barriers designed to keep the Devil productive start locking down, in Stickler's words, everything he "cherishes" (that he himself designed), Henchman is among those treasured things, heavily implying that the Devil actually reciprocates Henchman's affection.


 * After The Devil returns to the Underworld, having brought back a soul (the Telephone's), he catches his assistant after the bubbles begin to break, leaving the Fat Demon flattered.

A Very Devil Christmas

 * The Devil lets Henchman accompany him to the North Pole despite his unenviable position of being forcibly transformed into Santa Claus.


 * As Old Scratch is put through the wringer, basically forcing himself to be everything he's not in order to get on Santa's Nice List, Henchman is there every step of the way, offering encouragement and advice.
 * At one point, Devil loses hope and voices this to Henchman, certain he's never going to get his toy train and that he's going to spend an eternity as Santa. Henchman gently holds his hands and simply tells him "You can do this," and that's all it takes for him to get his head back in the game.


 * When Santa ends up not following through on giving the Devil the toy train he desperately wanted, Henchman - unbeknownst to the Devil - builds him one himself and wishes his boss a Merry Christmas.

The Devil and Ms. Chalice

 * Henchman lively cheers for the Devil (and Chalice) after they perform a dance routine.
 * When the Devil suffers his most crushing public defeat when he loses rock paper scissors in the finale, he's nearly on the verge of tears at the sight of the adoring crowd cheering for the brothers and Ms. Chalice. Henchman once again steps up to the plate without blinking and offers the Devil his pitchfork to hold to comfort him and leads him to the elevator, promising to draw him a bubble bath, to which the Devil expresses immense gratitude.

Fanon
is somewhat popular, though not as popular as other ships with the Devil, such as DevilDice, likely due to Henchman being established as an actual character in the franchise years after the game was released. Some of the main reasons people ship these two is because there is a lot of chemistry between the two and of how their unique interactions stand out from most villain-sidekick duos as they are between two archetypes. Despite Henchman's clumsiness, the Devil is rarely aggressive and notably a lot less harsh towards him, compared to his other minions. Even when Henchman annoys him, the worst the Devil does is just give him a sarcastic, "Thank you, Henchman," even when alluding to things that will bring out the Devil's extreme anger. Though alarmed about the Devil's anger, Henchman is ultimately not afraid of him whatsoever and is likely the only person in the setting who can safely counter his boss' volatile behaviour and calm him down. Additionally, even if the first impression he leaves (debatably) shows otherwise, Henchman is actually very intelligent; as it is still his job to keep the Devil's emotions from clouding his judgement and actions, he seems to have a pretty good understanding of when to draw the line and call him out. He has a friendly and respectful approach towards his boss, which he reciprocates and genuinely values on some level. On a smaller side note, Henchman might technically be in about the same age range as the Devil, who could be about over 3000 years old, even though the Devil is generally paired up with grown adults regardless.

There's quite a bit of fanart involving the ship (though it's mostly posted on the characters' separate tags than the pairing's tag itself), in which they're often depicted either with the Devil leaning on Henchman's head, holding hands, or hugging (which is mostly initiated by the Devil). Other fanart references the scenes where they dance together (see above and Trivia) and where they take Mugman to the Underworld.

A very popular fanart and storytelling material for the particular characters is heavily centered around their time during their, as addressed by the fanbase, "Pre-fall Eons". It depicts the Devil going by the name "Lucifer" with the design of the angel from the boss fight in The Delicious Last Course (which is likely a reference to how the Devil is usually portrayed as a fallen angel) and Henchman being a little cherub who still works as his boss' assistant and going through numerous unique fan-made designs, even different names (more commonly, synonyms like "Helper"). This scenario has the duo stick together and remain loyal to one another, both above and below, and is often depicted similarly to the Steven Universe pairing Pearlrose, with the Devil in the role of Rose Quartz and Henchman in the role of Pearl.

A common scenario depicting the pairing is tied to the Devil and Henchman's repugnance towards Stickler; it involves the two demons engaging in romantic activities before the auditor interruptedly steps in and is screamed at by the Devil (and sometimes Henchman as well) to leave. Another well-liked scenario involving them is inspired by the Devil's canonical interest in the theatrical arts (and Henchman being the only demon to cheer for him in his performances), and has the pair dueting with each other while casting themselves as love interests in multiple plays. A gag mostly depicted in written works also has the Devil being impressed, daresay "getting heart-eyes", on the rare times Henchman gets angry, as he's much more even-tempered than his boss. Another common example of scenarios being used in artwork and fanfiction involves Henchman facing resentment and/or harassment for his proximity to and the way he is treated by the Devil not only by King Dice but even the Imps (despite appearing to get along relatively well with the minions in the series), prompting the Devil to come to his defense. A more recent fanart material has the Devil splitting into two entities, Angel and Demon; his lookalikes from The Delicious Last Course (in a similar fashion to another Steven Universe pairing, Rupphire) to flirt with Henchman. Additionally, a big part of the fanbase likes to think of them as the prime parental figures for Evil and Vile, Cuphead and Mugman's evil counterparts.

People also like to translate the two characters' different personalities through their designs; Henchman being short and obese while the Devil being tall and skinny, the Fat Demon having a more brightly coloured palette compared to his boss' darker tones, and them having long and tiny horns and noses, respectively.

Even in fanworks where the Devil and Henchman are in an established relationship, Henchman continues to address the Devil as "Boss", likely due to force of habit and with it having adopted the nature of an affectionate pet-name (like how one would call their partner "honey" or "babe") instead of an authority nickname. Meanwhile, in those fanworks, the Devil flirtatiously showers his henchman with numerous terms of endearment, with the term "darling" being more common.

Trivia

 * Originally, Devil avoiding Stickler in "Sweater Off Dead" used to be a longer montage in which he asks Henchman to dance with him in order to eschew his auditor, as shown in a Twitter post by storyboard artist Megan Ann Boyd.
 * Head writer Deeki Deke once expressed agreement on Twitter about the Devil and Henchman being a healthy relationship and hinted at how the next season dives even deeper into their dynamic.
 * The pairing has seen a resurgence in popularity within the fandom as of the release of the second season.
 * According to the Devil's voice actor, Luke Millington-Drake, following a few questions from fans in an open Q&A segment on Twitter for his character:
 * The Devil is learning how to knit so he can also knit an impenetrable sweater to protect himself from Stickler and to make Henchman a blanket.
 * Although the Devil claims that he wants no friends and only souls, he admits that Henchman is fun - sometimes.
 * The Devil considers Henchman to be the least insufferable in hell and says he occasionally makes him chuckle.
 * The Devil's favourite album is 12 songs of people screaming in pain, which was a gift from Henchman.
 * Much of storyboard artist Nick Lauer's artwork includes pairing the two up.
 * There are quite a few running gags in the series involving the two:
 * The Devil consistently thanks Henchman for his contributions, sometimes suppressing his feelings of annoyance, even if his thanks are rather clearly not straight praise (though by the third season, his gratitude becomes genuine).
 * The Devil refers to Cuphead simply as "Cup" and Henchman adds the word "Head" immediately afterwards.
 * Usually while cheering for the Devil, Henchman often exclaims "That's my boss!" or generally calls him "[his] boss."
 * Some scenes depict them peeking their heads alongside each other when spying on people.
 * Sometimes, the Devil puts a paw on Henchman's face, either to hush him or push him away.
 * In some ways, the Devil and Henchman are similar to Cuphead and Mugman respectively.
 * The Devil and Cuphead, surprisingly, have quite a bit in common, as they're both hot-blooded, rather immature mischief makers who chase thrills whenever they can (Cuphead via getting up to adventures in the Isles, the Devil by messing with the residents). They also both try to avoid work in favour of having fun (Cuphead going to the Carn-Evil instead of painting the fence, the Devil trying to enjoy his productivity party instead of getting Cuphead's soul) and apparently share a sense of humour.
 * Henchman seems to share some traits with Mugman, especially when it comes to his relationship with the Devil, which resembles Mugman's relationship with Cuphead, in a sense; the difference is that the two demons are friends while the two cups are brothers. Both are very intelligent, openly caring, and often try to keep their companions in-line (Mugman keeping Cuphead out of trouble, Henchman keeping the Devil on track no matter how many mood swings he has). Both of them can be very cheerful, even in situations that don't call for it, as well as rather oblivious (Mugman when he first meets Baby Bottle and is taken to the Underworld, Henchman about the Devil meeting Santa Claus while the latter is facing a dilemma). They, additionally, seem to share a talent in constructing.
 * In the ship name CatElephant, "Cat" refers to the Devil mostly resembling a cat (hinted at in "Roadkill"), while "Elephant" refers to how Henchman mostly looks like an elephant. The same goes for the ship names Mrs Meow Meow and Mr Toot Toot and Meow-Toot, the first part being what the Devil is affectionately called by Elder Kettle in the aforementioned episode.
 * The ship name Gingerbread Choo-choo/Jolly Choo-choo refers to when Henchman builds a toy train in "A Very Devil Christmas" (which he refers to as "choo-choo" throughout said special). "Gingerbread" and "Jolly" are words commonly associated with the holiday season.
 * In the ship name Lavender Tea, "Tea" refers to how Henchman often serves calming tea to the Devil to soothe him. "Lavender" refers to Henchman's purple colour.
 * The ship name Blackberry refers to both demon's colours also being the colours of said berries, the Devil's fur being black and Henchman's skin being purple.
 * The ship name Pitchcutlery Couple refers to the Devil's ownership of his pitchfork and a giant golden spoon from a utensil set, the latter of which Henchman is the only one aware about.
 * The ship name Celestial Demons refers to the popular theory amongst the fanbase of Henchman being the Devil's assistant even when the latter was (presumably) an angel.
 * When mixed together, their colour pallettes actually form numerous Pride flags.

Variations

 * HenchDevilDice refers to the ship between King Dice, the Devil and Henchman
