#also can you imagine what mugman's reaction to seeing the devil eating his brother's soul would be like?

OK something that's been on my mind is that there's like 2 jokes where the Devil is ranting about taking Cuphead's soul in "Release the Demons!" but at the same time, he mentions that he wants to eat it.

So that's the first mention of it when he's talking to the 2nd finest demons.

Then later in the same episode, it's revealed that Stickler has the invisible impenetrable sweater on.

This leads to the Devil raging that he can't obliterate him right then and there. But then, he says he'll eat his soul.

This has led me to think about a couple of questions:

Can the Devil actually eat souls, or is he just saying that out of pure rage and it's just there to be a joke?

Since he shouted to Stickler that he'll eat his soul, does that mean that demons have a soul too?

But that 2nd question falls apart when you realize that when he incinerated the 1st and 2nd finest demons, they just became dust and ceased to exist.

So either way, this leads to the question of WHY does the Devil actually collect souls?

Like what the hell is up with collecting souls? (Pun intended)

If he can eat them, does that mean he collects Inkwell Isles citizens souls for a sadistic fun kick of it but if he gets hungry, he eats a select few?

OR does he need souls to keep him powerful?

Like the more souls he has, the more powerful he gets (which may or may not be obtained by eating them?)

Or is he just losing it and becoming so obsessed with getting Cuphead's soul that he's willing to go through any length to get it (which may include it eating it out in front of him?)

I'm just saying there's a lot of implications here.

Now with the ending that the Devil has kidnapped Mugman, will the fate of the souls he collects be revealed in the next addition of episodes?

I kinda hope so.

I would personally like to see what happens to them. Is it as twisted as we think? We know that there's a soul vault but what happens in the soul vault?

I think I may be overanalyzing again.
