DiceCup is the slash ship between Cuphead and King Dice from the Cuphead fandom.

Canon

Cuphead (Video Game)

During the Cuphead game, they do not interact much. During the beginning of the game, Dice observes that Cuphead and Mugman are very good at craps. After beating a boss Dice will congratulate them and send them on their way. Towards the end they are required to fight Dice.

The Cuphead Show!

In the Cuphead Show, they first interact during Dice's gameshow 'Roll the Dice', which Cuphead crashes and becomes a contestant on. Dice notices that Cuphead is wanted by the Devil and uses his show as a way to trick Cuphead into giving up his soul. However, Cuphead fails all his games, and he is unsuccessful. Later on, the Devil formulates a plan to capture Cuphead using his best demons, which King Dice joins. Once again King Dice is unsuccessful.

The next time they meet, King Dice attempts to hit Cuphead with a pipe, but Cuphead doesn't seem to notice the danger and cheerfully greets Dice. Dice is softened when Cuphead calls him 'the biggest star in showbiz'. Cuphead notices he doesn't have his show and is homeless. Cuphead says he can make a comeback to which Dice says he can't do it on his own. Cuphead offers to become his manager, to which Dice agrees. With the help of Elder Kettle and Mugman, Cuphead helps King Dice back on his feet, replacing his shabby clothes and giving him a makeover. Cuphead takes Dice to a rundown 'club' for Dice's comeback.

After meeting with the Devil, Dice goes to get Cuphead to sign a 'business contract' which will give ownership of Cuphead's soul to the Devil. Cuphead, seemingly drunk, calls him 'baby'. Dice sits down to talk to Cuphead to which Cuphead stops their manager-client relationship, to which Cuphead says it isn't 'personal' it's just 'showbiz'.

Fanon

The ship is not very popular but has a small following. They're commonly shipped alongside DevilMug. It's biggest rival is CupBon. Many fans enjoy their troupe of "enemies to lovers" and their complementing colour palettes. A lot of fanfictions depict them as enemies to lovers or already in a relationship. Some fans take issue to the possible age gap and pedophilia aspect, however MDHR (the creators of Cuphead) have disproven this, stating that Cuphead and Mugman are 'kidults'. However, many still take issue due to Cuphead being portrayed like a teenager and Dice being portrayed as an adult.
