Hidden Details: Gym Rats

Welcome to the one-hundredth-and-eighty-first episode of the Hidden Details blog!

Have you found some obscure reference or detail in this comic? A JoJo reference? A sneaky little Loss? A callback to a previous comic? Let us know what you've found in the comments! Every detail that has been found will be added to the list below. Once everything has been found, this comic will officially be marked with "all details found".

Link to the comic for your convenience

Please only comment with ONE hidden detail or reference!

There's one Loss, one Balthazar, one Miep and one crewmate. Bonus comics don't count.

FIRST PANEL
1:
Chris is indeed wearing a "Boulder" tanktop referencing his infamous boulder punch from Resident Evil 5, BenjaMan64.
2:
Newt from Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is using her floating arms to lift a massive Barbell, much to Sol Badguy's shock.
3:
There's a little Nopon on Newt's shirt in the first panel, as pointed out by KevDu.

SECOND PANEL
4:
Ike is wearing tanktop with a parody on the Nike logo, simply saying "Ike". Found by Cameron Devera.
5:
I love hiding loss in sweat, A Sad Fat Dragon with No Friends. Glad you noticed it!
6:
While nearly everyone is wearing custom gym clothes, Samus is just wearing her orange alt from the actual game.
7:
The sign that says you can't bench-press cars is a little foreshadowing to Undyne's appearance later in the comic, since she does bench press a car in Deltarune.

THIRD PANE
8:
It does seem to be a coincidence that both Malenia and Let Me Solo Her are present in the same gym, Fighting Master. I agree, it's likely that they're training to beat each other.
9:
Speaking of Malenia: there's a crewmate hidden in her scars, as pointed out by Daniel Myhre.

FOURTH PANEL
10:
There's a little Squirtle face on the water cooler in the background. Guess it's Squirtle-branded, Brandon Digwood.

FIFTH PANEL
11:
Doom Slayer leaves his helmet on during workouts, as mentioned by Williams Fan 92, although you thought it was Master Chief.
12:
Balthazar is running on the treadmill in the background of this panel. Found by Pixelman86, who also mistook Doom Slayer for Master Chief.
13:
There's a sign asking gym visitors to re-rack their weights. Everyone who has ever been in a gym will know these signs are very common.

EIGHTH PANEL
14:
Miep is watching Toad being arrested in the final panel, as pointed out by Generic Hero.
15:
Wario and Waluigi are being paid in Nook Tickets instead of actual money. I hope they don't mind.

All the details that have not been found are marked italic.

Comments

In Mario lore and mechanics, a blue shroom (mentioned in Waluigi's signal phrase to the cops) is supposed to make you smaller instead of bigger. Possibly that's the reason for Toads confusion right before the bust

John Brito

Not only that but both Waluigi and Wario have their corresponding letters on their shirts

John Brito

There is a crewmate on the tatoo of that one female characte whose name i forgot. Third pannel.

G3ntiLP

Also is that a dog on a treadmill next to let me solo her?

Invisible Cloud

Is Doom Guy T-posing for dominance?

Invisible Cloud

Sol Badguy for Guilty Gear is in the first panel facing away from us.

Patrick

You put Marcus Fenix from gears of war working out and I appreciate that he’s involved now!

Zack

Aye! Is that 'Let Me Solo Her' working out in the background? That'd be awesome if it was.

Yannick Williams

Dunno if this counts, but with Undyne being in a police uniform instead of armor and having both eyes, that's specifically Deltarune Undyne, not Undertale Undyne. All of the other stuff I saw has already been commented XP

GoGoForIt

It's the jump rope the cremate?

Alan-Michael White

Do the police normally put up crime scene tape after completing a drug raid? They did in this comic, at least.

Calvin Barbanell

All of Toad’s steroids are the Power Mushrooms from his games. Eating one is known to make you bigger and stronger. Also Wario and Waluigi are being paid to do the work (not surprising, given that they’ll do anything for money).

PenHeart3

Crewmate in Malenia's tatoos

Pokedude14

Zangief's sweat forms a loss. His massive pecs warp the rules of fluid dynamics

A Sad Fat Dragon with No Friends

I think that might be Doom Slayer. Chiefs visor is usually yellow.

Generic Hero

In panel 1, Newt from Xenoblade Chronicles 2 wears a nopon tank-top with a shorts instead of being half naked lol.

KevDu

Balthazar is running on the treadmill behind Master Chief in Panel 5

SilentC

On Waluigi's half of their shared shirts, the L is flipped just like it normally is on his hat.

Lord Circe

Squirtle face on the water cooler in the background of panel four.

Brandon Digwood

Let me solo her and malenia are both in the same gym training to kill each other i guess

Fighting Master

Miep in the last panel, between everyone's legs

Generic Hero

Master Chief leaves his helmet on whilst working out.

Ipswich Town Fan 92

There's a sign at the gym that says "Don't Bench Press Cars". In the first few panels.

LadyValerie

Chris Redfield in Panel 1 is wearing a shirt that says "Boulder", referencing his famous boulder punch from Resident Evil 5. Even Heisenberg later references it in Resident Evil VIllage.

BenjaMan64

The agent who came from the helicopter is Undyne from Deltarune

Percylegallois

Ike is wearing an Ike shirt which means Nike in the 2nd panel
