* InsaneTrollLogic: The Devil tries to convince Mugman with a lie, that he is stuck in the Underworld for 80 years and Cuphead is likely not only dead, but sent to Heaven. Mugsy is more than positive that Cuphead will still come after him because he's too much of a troublemaker to be sent up above. So, by that logic, either his soul is sent downwards to join him or he's still alive to save him.
