Ho Yay / The Cuphead Show!

• The self-proclaimed title of the Devil's "number 1" that King Dice brandishes, which Ol' Scratch seems to go along with for the most part.
• Of all the Devil's many nicknames, the one King Dice chooses to use when talking to him in "Release the Demons!" is Big D.
• The ending to "Down & Out". The Devil asking Dice to come back resembles a lover begging their partner to get back together after a break-up. Of note is the Devil's uncharacteristically nervous disposition in this scene - in extreme contrast to his You Have Failed Me speech from season 1 and even the way he interacts with Dice earlier in the episode, he seems almost... shy while waiting for Dice's response to his pleas, shrinking in on himself and rubbing his hands nervously.
• Also in "Down & Out", King Dice remains loyal to the Devil no matter what, even considering his approval the "one missing piece" in his comeback.
• Non-canon material also gives plenty of fuel for this ship:
  • When responding to an ask about Devil and Dice getting a duet, head writer Deeki Deke said that the show needs to be renewed so that they can "field countless demands to make them kiss".
  • When asked about whether Dice was in a bubble of failure (magical bubbles that encase everything the Devil cherishes if a soul hasn't been collected in a while), Deke stated that while they cannot reveal that at this time, they can say that if King Dice WASN'T in a bubble and found out later that they exist, he would be a "rainbow of emotions".
  • When Luke Millington-Drake, the Devil's voice actor, was doing a QnA on Twitter in character, the official Cuphead Show account, in character as King Dice as part of a gimmick at the time, asked "What's it like being so devilishly handsome?".
  • During that same QnA, when asked about his opinion on Dice, "the Devil" called him his number 1,as well as "darling Dice".
  • Not to mention the Netflix Geeked video where Wayne Brady, King Dice's voice actor, gets a phone call from the Devil and ends the conversation with "I love you, bye". And on top of that, in the subtitles, the word "love" is replaced with a rainbow heart.
• The Devil also gets plenty of ship tease with Henchman, who openly adores him and has no qualms with telling him so. Henchman's the one who catches Devil when he falls, the one who takes him by the hand and runs him a bubble bath when everything else has gone wrong, and Devil's markedly softer and more forgiving where Henchman is concerned. When Devil's lagging soul quota results in bubbles forming around everything he cherishes, Henchman is seen floating among them.
