Please only comment with ONE hidden detail or reference!
There is ONE Loss, ONE Balthazar and ONE crewmate. Bonus panels don't count.
1: There's a whole bunch of different folders for different locations in video games visible throughout the odd panels of this comic. For example: Spiral Mountain (Banjo Kazooie, found by Trigger), Hyrule and an Animal Crossing Island (found by Calvin Barbanell), Zeta Halo in the fifth panel (found by Daniel Myhre).
2: Throughout this comic, Incineroar is keeping a list of possible locations to go to. After every suggestion he adds the location to the list, but he also crosses it out immediately. Looks like he makes up his mind very quickly, LadyValerie.
3: On one of the brochures on the table, a certain yellow-brownish bunny is visible, as mentioned by William Dryden. I want to go to wherever that brochure is promoting.
4: There's a Yharnam magnet on the fridge. Seems like someone indeed took a trip there, Generic Hero. Probably Wolf or Simon or Bayonetta.
5: On the fridge in the odd panels, someone put up a note that says they need to buy Moomoo milk, which is a Pokémon (Gold/Silver/Crystal, in particular) reference. Good eye, Zach.
6: I probably should have expected no one to recognize Shigeki from Keitai Denjuu Telefang as a fridge magnet in the odd panels. Keitai Denjuu Telefang was a Pokémon-like game that was modded and resold as a bootleg Pokémon version: Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Jade.
7: The boys are running from Territorial Rotbart, a very overleveled Gogol on Bionis' Leg in Xenoblade Chronicles. Overleveled apes in early areas are a staple of the franchise by this point, Shelby Kinkead!
8: Mechonis is visible looming in the background in the second panel, just like it does in Xenoblade Chronicles.
9: There's a box of "Chocobo Pops" cereal on the fridge in the third, fifth and seventh panel. This is a play on Choco Pops, a cereal they sell here in the Netherlands. No idea if they have those in the US, happy pasta.
10: In the fourth panel, Sephiroth's meteor he mentioned in the metaverse as the Phantom Thieves were stealing his heart is soaring by, as pointed out by Cameron Devera.
11: You know what, Tejayes? I'm just going to copy-paste your description of this particular hidden detail here because it's too freaking good (that's a first ever!):
"Between Incineroar and Kazuya in the space scene, you can see the constellation Apoleia. Characterized by four sets of lines each in their own quadrant, Ancient Greek astronomers dedicated this constellation to an infamous scene from a purportedly "comedic" story about avid gamespeople."
12: Kazuya floating around in space is a reference to one of Tekken 6's endings in which Heihachi ejects him from a space shuttle.
13: Corrin is drinking from a mug that looks a little sus, but the shapes on it aren't crewmates. The crewmate finally reveals itself in the seventh panel on the bottom of the mug as Corrin takes a sip. Good job catching the imposter, Spirit of Gotham!
14: The trio is wearing Paldean schoolkid outfits, as mentioned Jerry Woods III. I don't think Paldea has a border patrol though. They can't even get their own laws of physics to work properly.
15: A lone Lechonk is watching the weird trio arrive in Paldea in the final panel, as pointed out by Fighting Master.
16: I wanted to draw Watrell too, but I figured it might be a considered a spoiler to some, so I just added some Watrell silhouettes in the final panel.
17: This was an error, Tim Vinson. I forgot to draw Kazuya's second sock line in the last panel, and intern Cyril figured it was intentional and just colored one sock without mentioning it.
18: Intern Levi added a little 🗿 magnet to the fridge in the odd panels and I kept it. Good catch, A Sad Fat Dragon with No Friends.
Next week, I'll reveal all the details that haven't been found. These ones are written in italic.
