Please only comment with ONE hidden detail or reference!

There is ONE Loss, ONE Balthazar and ONE crewmate. Bonus panels don't count.

1:
Hahaha yeah, first of all: the text from the Kirby book is actually on the Kirby wiki, as pointed out by Daniel Myhre.
2:
I mean... they were trying to revive dead fighters, Phloxiana. I think the technically were doing necromancy throughout this arc, as indicated by the book in front of Isabelle in the third panel.
3:
Yay, I wasn't sure if anyone was going to recognize Sakurai's Kirby drawing on the back of the book in the third panel, Zanreo! But I'm glad you did!
4:
There's a Brewster/The Roost logo on Isabelle's mug in the third panel, as mentioned by happy pasta.
5:
The glasses that Isabelle 1 and 2 are wearing are actually available in Animal Crossing New Horizons!
6:
There are some random fighters visible in the backgrounds in the battlefield panels. Kazooie and Crash are indeed among them, Calvin Barbanell and Dirk. Big Daddy, Bowser, 2B and Goofy are there as well.
7:
A little yellow Pikmin is surprised by the "camera" focusing on him in the fifth panel. Glad you noticed him, Zach.
8:
Once again, Kazuya seems unphased by everthing that's happening around him. He's just looking on stoically in the fifth panel.
9:
Yes Mekhi Haley, Byleth Amongus. (There's a crewmate in Byleth's brooch in the fifth panel)
10:
Because I had more Phantom Thieves members than the original game has in the all-out attack, I had to switch poses and positions a bit, and add two new ones. In the seventh panel, Cloud has replaced Joker, Pyra has replaced Panther, Tifa has replaced Skull, Squirtle has replaced Morgana and Joker and Morgana themselves got all new positions. They'll probably be fine with switching positions for a change, edmg7.
11:
This week's loss in visible in the first part of the all-out attack in the seventh panel: the cracks beneath Tifa. Good catch, Tejayes.
12:
If you look closely, you'll notice a little silhouette of Balthazar in the all-out attack in the final panel. I bet so too, Spirit of Gotham :)
13:
This was actually a surprise to me, but while researching how an all-out attack looks, I noticed little ドドド katakana among the black shapes when the Phantom Thieves are attacking a victim, so I made sure to include them as well!
14:
Instead of a star, I put the Buster Sword in the all-out attack background. I didn't know those holes were Materia slots though UnSaxon51! You learn something new every day.
15:
And yep, once again, the JoJo "To Be Continued" arrow is back, as mentioned by Josha Eddleston.

Next week, I'll reveal all the details that haven't been found. These ones are written in italic.

Hidden Details: All Out Friend

Comments

Sora meets pyra and mythra

Bradley

Is that crash bandicoot's silhouette in the background of the 4th panel?

Dirk

The Kirby info book has a hidden detail, describing how the player makes kirby fly with the A button.

Paperdust

I can make out Kazooie as one of the panel 4 silhouettes.

Calvin Barbanell

Sephiroth's eyes are glowing yellow, indicating he's ready to use his Final Smash, which summons a meteor.

Generic Hero

The Kirby Info book is directly pulled from the Kirby Wiki

Pokedude14

The Jojo arrow is at the bottom of the final panel

Joshua Eddleston

That All-Out Attack was so cathartic, it brought back the high-velocity blood from P5 proper as opposed to the stars when Joker uses it in Smash

Jon Brouse

Among us is in Panel 5 on byleth

lawariano

Is... is that Angel Dust in the background of panel 4????

A Sad Fat Dragon with No Friends

Yellow Pikmin among the reaction shots in panel 5

Zach

Cloud’s Buster Sword is featured in the background during his All-Out Attack finisher.

Karelia Cristina

I think the implication is those were each instances where the fighter was revived in a method not directly related to their series (ie Joker was kept alive using a Pokemon item)

Michael Ederer

In the Kirby book that Isabelle is reading, there is a small picture of the original Kirby with the Star rod

HaydenEatsShrimp

The Isabelle’s have a nice selection of books: SMT, Metal Gear, Street Fighter, and…necromancy? They bringing someone back from the dead?

Phloxiana

In the start of the All Out Attack, Cloud copies Joker's pose, Pyra copies Panther's, Tifa Skull's, and Squrtile Mona's. This means that neither Joker nor Mona get to do their typical poses despite also being part of the the attack.

edmg7

Jumping off of this to also say that Cloud's Buster Sword is in the background of the finish pose. With bullet holes where the Materia slots are!

UnSaxon51

The Isabelles are drinking Brewster coffee

happy pasta

Dream Sephiroth has blue and orange paint on his leg, kinda like the boy and girl Inklings

Edgar Castro

Pyra stole panther all out attack pose

Fighting Master

The Kirby lore book has Sakurai's old Kirby drawing on the cover

Zanreo

You can tell the All-Out Attack is signaling a LOSS for Sephiroth... it's among the cracks just under Tifa's pose.

Tejayes

Byleth Amongus

Scrap

Balthazar is taking part in the all out attack! I bet he did most of the damage.

Spirit of Gotham

Dibs on Cloud performing Joker’s Final Smash in the 7th-final panel!
