Hidden Details: Smash Brothers in Arms

Welcome to the one-hundredth-and-seventy-fifth 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.

1:
Duck is throwing his Quaxly wig to the fleeing Maus. He doesn't need it anymore anyway, Daniel Myhre.
2:
Also in the first panel, we can see three of Link's fingers while his arm is being carried away, as mentioned by A Sad Fat Dragon with No Friends. Little foreshadowing for ya.
3:
Now that his heart change has had time to settle in for a while, Sephiroth seems to be happy to see Cloud again. Cloud can't reciprocate the feeling though. Found by Cameron Devera.
4:
Plant is once again copying his dad's pose in the first panel. Good catch, William Dryden!
5:
This week's loss is visible in the Maus graffiti on the outside of the Smash house in the first panel, as accurately pointed out by Spirit of Gotham!
7:
Haha, you're right Generic Hero! Daisy did indeed fail to mention Stubunny/Baltabun/Balthazar, who's also visible in the second panel, next to Skeledirge.
8:
It seems that Meowscarada and Feral Fangs are... romantically involved in the third panel. Poor Incineroar indeed waited too long, Calvin Barbanell.
9:
Mario seems to be really proud of Luigi in the third panel. And Luigi seems to be happy with the praise. Good catch, Tolis!
10:
Palutena's charms (third panel) are always great to hide details in, Adell Robertson! No way this is the first crewmate I've hidden in there.
11:
Sora is being interrogated by Isabelle in the third panel about the new Pokémon. Since they're not his he probably doesn't know the answers to all the questions, which is why he's shrugging, as mentioned by BenjaMan64. And yes, I guess we can call the potty trained line a reference to when Isabelle asked the same about Rex, MattB!
12:
A small silhouette of Miep is strolling along the roofs in the background of the third panel.
13:
That's indeed a little error, Lord Circe. Link's greenish gauntlet should extend all the way up the arm.
14:
And finally, Link losing his arm is indeed a way to segue our way into some Hylian adventures, The Negotiator!

Next week around this time, I'll reveal all the details. The ones that have not been found will be marked italic.

Comments

And I just realized Link actually lost his arm in the previous comic, he just never realized until now

Shelby Kinkead

The bone was incredibly necessary

Wooden Plank Studios

Also, one of the charms on Palutania’s dress looks a lot like the Dark Energy symbol from the Pokémon Trading Card Game.

PenHeart3

Cloud’s doggy-cat friend is with him again. I think his name was Axel(? idk never got that far in FFVII).

PenHeart3

Isabelle asks if the new arrival are potty trained, as she did for Rex when Pyra/Mythra arrived

MattB

Duck is finally shedding his Quaxly wig

Pokedude14

In Panel 3, Sora can't answer Isabelle's questions regarding the new Pokémon, since he didn't spend much time with the group while in Paldea.

BenjaMan64

Red xii is in the first panel he's technically half lion half wolf

Fighting Master

Possibly just a blooper, but in the last panel, Link's stolen arm has the armband design going all the way up the arm instead.

Lord Circe

You can see Links arm being taken by the maus in the first panel

A Sad Fat Dragon with No Friends

Link did the "Doesn't realize that they're missing an arm/limb until they notice their stub/severed limb" cliche

Edgar Castro

The crewmate is one of the charms on lady palutania's dress

Adell Robertson

Idk what you’re talking about I think it’s funny

The Negotiator

Incineroar notices that he waited too long to make a move on Meowscarda, it seems.

Calvin Barbanell

Though is it really necessary to show the bone? I feel like the blood itself would have been enough

Shelby Kinkead

First panel Kazuya and plant are doing the same iconic victory pose

William Dryden

Link lost the same arm as in totk, he is ready

Percylegallois

You can see luigi is very happy to see his brother again

Tolis

Link’s missing arm is a reference how he loses his arm in Tears of the Kingdom

The Negotiator

In panel 2, in case that wasn't clear.

Generic Hero

It seems Daisy forgot to mention one more Pokemon in the group to Isabelle: Balthabun, who's next to Skeledirge.

Generic Hero

A fully redeemed Sephiroth is hugging Cloud even though they still have their differences in the 1st panel.

Cameron Devera

Loss is in the lines of paint in the maus graffiti in panel one

Spirit of Gotham
