Description Experiment 621 - Chopsuey - Designed to be the ultimate monster of destruction. 621 was a failure, unable to execute his programming with any kind of prejudice. Despite his natural scheming nature and even advanced language programming, 621 just lacked the athletic instinct to embody Jumba’s dreams. Instead, 621 was used as an errand-boy, fetching DNA so that his creator could try again, eventually making the ultimate monster of destruction in 626, who became Stitch. 621 never got over the insult, and displayed some of the raw destructive tendencies Jumba always thought were lacking by throwing a temper tantrum, mutating himself beyond recognition, and nearly destroying the lab in an effort to prove he was better than 626. 621 was put in Galactic Federation Prison and studied long after Jumba himself was banished to Earth. Never taught to be good or given a One True Place, 621 spent his days in a cell.


Finally! 621! (I rarely ever call him Chopsuey, because even though that’s his name in the end credits of Leroy & Stitch, I figure Lilo never met him. If she did name him, it would be because Jumba showed her an old picture of 621 from his lab days and she said something in her quirky way, like, “He looks sorta like Stitch. Except not as cute. And skinnier. And the color of chopsuey.”)

Get ready for a few paragraphs.

621 is majorly important to my headcanons of Lilo & Stitch after the events of the show, and honestly, he’s just really interesting. The character would have been designed around the post-production of the first film, meaning he really is the first of Stitch’s “cousins” to be explored. The game he appears in came out two days BEFORE Lilo & Stitch. He’s the first Experiment to ever show any interest in wanting to please Jumba, not just in fulfilling his function. He’s directly jealous of Stitch because Jumba likes Stitch more. And he’s very unstable, in more ways than one! He’s willing to sabotage everything Jumba is working toward just to make Stitch look bad, and Frank Walker voicing him sounds totally insane, laughing and gibberish and snarling all in one sentence. 


Anyway. 


In my headcanon, 621 is also canonically the oldest of Stitch’s cousins, if you measure age by how long he’s been active (not dehydrated as a pod.) And he spent a majority of that time locked in Galactic Federation Labs. 


I know Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch appears to retcon the events of 621’s game, because Stitch is shown being created and then, moments later, he and Jumba are taken into the captivity that leads to the opening scene of the first film. But I think there are ways to get around that.

According to my headcanon, after 626 and Jumba left an over-mutated 621 on the floor of Jumba’a secret lair, they escaped to Jumba’s lab (the official one he worked in as Lead Scientist of Galaxy Defense Industries.) There, Jumba dehydrated 626, made a few adjustments (using the DNA 621 hadn’t, which 626 had been collecting before they were busted) and re-activated Stitch, hoping he would be even more destructive and less an errand-runner. (That’s feasible, because Jumba modifies and then re-activates Experiments in the series, like Felix and Remy.) That’s why Stitch seems to be waking up for the first time, and needs his molecules fully charged, and THEN they get captured, etc., etc.

Back to 621. 


While Stitch and Jumba are living out their adventures and finding Ohana and living out full lives in Hawaii, 621 has never left Federation Prison. He hasn’t gotten any nicer, either, thanks to scientists trying to restore him to something like normal. In fact, in his mutated form, he keeps escaping and generally causing trouble. The Grand Councilwoman finally calls Jumba after 621 nearly rampages his way into the same cell block as Hämsterviel before Federation cops got him under control (during the events of the series) and requests he consult them as to how to keep 621 secure. Jumba sends them Yogee (as part of Yogee’s “episode” let’s say) and this is how Yogee finds his One True Place, cryogenically freezing troublesome inmates of the GF Prison. (For more information on Yogee, check my gallery!)

So 621 gets frozen, and he spends several years humanely slumbering in Yogee’s goo, a well-kept secret in the Galactic Federation’s most stable sector. Then, several years after Lilo has grown up and the Hawaii Ohana has entered a new phase of life...enter Jumby (who you can also find more about in my gallery.) Jumby, who’s One True Place is to be the Lead Scientist of Galaxy Defense Industries, discoveres his green “cousin” all super-mutated and frozen in Yogee’s goop and gets Yogee to unfreeze him. Jumby, true to his nature, wants to succeed where Jumba failed. He begins de-mutating 621. 621, released from cryosleep, wakes up in a containment pod in the middle of Jumby’s lab in time to find all of his monster-self shrinking away. With the last of that enhanced strength and rage, 621 escapes the prison asteroid and blasts his way to Earth, having heard that Jumba was there.

So 621 is back to his skinny, Stitch-like self, but he’s even more mentally unstable after years of being mutated, imprisoned, frozen, and studied in Galaxy Defense Industries. And he definitely wants two things: one, revenge on 626, and two, to impress Jumba. He believes he can only do that if he can control his mutation abilities, and he can’t just go collect monster DNA himself. After all, 626 did all that work in the old days. So he decides to find Jumba and force the creator to turn him into the most destructive creature in the Galaxy so he can defeat 626. 


When he gets to earth, 621 finds, from the shadows, a weird scene. Apparently not only 626, but all of Jumba’s other Experiments, are living on this Earth mud-ball with jobs and something called “family,” totally giving up on evil. And Jumba likes them that way. Well, 621 can’t handle that. He decides to go ahead with his plan, but since 626, now called Stitch, is still hanging around and living with Jumba, 621 modifies his goals. He gets help, first from Bonnie and Clyde, in beginning to twist the other Experiments against Lilo and Stitch and Jumba, and building a small rebellious army out of them. His “home base” is in the caves of Niihau, where he plots and leads the naughty Experiments from the shadows. 


621 is almost, but not quite, as strong as Stitch, and of course he can wall-crawl, spit acid, and is bulletproof, fireproof, and nearly indestructible, like Stitch. But his supercomputer brain is really the only thing Jumba got right. 621 is a huge schemer, even if he is a little nuts. He’s like the nerdy version of Stitch: all of the athletic potential, none of the intuition on how to use it. When he loses his temper, however, some of that raw monster instinct takes over and he can be dangerous; especially because sometimes latent mutation genes from his time in Jumba’s Mutator are still in there. When he’s raging, some of his limbs might get grotesquely huge for a few moments, or his eyes might bulge out while his ears shrink. It’s not pretty, and he can’t control it, which is why he needs Jumba. 


Anyway. What 621 NEEDS is to sit down and have a long talk with Lilo about forgiveness and what that means for the way Jumba treated him, but unfortunately, he’s too smart for his own good, and currently Lilo doesn’t know that “Chopsuey” is on Earth, pulling all the strings.

Side note: Bonnie is totally on board to work with 621. She becomes his right-hand-woman, as a fellow schemer, and she buys into his “we should follow our programming, family my patookie, Lilo and 626 don’t really care about us,” rhetoric, hook, line, and sinker. After all, Bonnie is still bitter that Lilo and Stitch outsmarted her all those years ago and forced her and Clyde to do time in jail. 


Clyde, on the other hand, isn’t onboard. He’s instantly jealous of how impressed Bonnie is with 621, and he actually learned something about being good and having family from his time in “the slammer.” He knows Lilo and Stitch do love him and Bonnie, criminal minds and all. He understands, deep down, that he should be good. But he’s a thick headed lunk, and he doesn’t know how to communicate any of that, and Bonnie isn’t really listening to him, anyway. She’s the brains of their little duo, so he begrudgingly goes along with being on 621’s team, as you can see. 


Sorry for all that blah of words! Question me below if you care to.

Sooner or later, he might make a plan that will probably shake up Bonnie and Clyde.
