Please only comment with ONE hidden detail or reference!
There is ONE Loss, ONE Balthazar, ONE crewmate and NO JoJo references. Bonus panels don't count.
1: The sky in the first panel is purple, which seems to be a thing in Nohr. Furthermore, I directly color-picked the specific kind of purple from the Fates boxart.
2: According to the sign on the gate in the first panel, the Nohrians still aren't too keen on Hoshidans. Some things never change, Jon Brouse.
3: Speaking of that sign... the tears in it form loss, as astutely pointed out by Dave Papworth.
4: Yeah, Wii Fit Trainer asking Camilla if she isn't cold is partly a reference to her ridiculous design, but also as a bit of a joke about Wii Fit Trainer wearing a tanktop herself, Noah.
5: Among the banners hanging in the hallway in the third panel is one that depicts Balthazar's face. Not sure if I'm glad about him being a representation for Nohr, Cameron Devera.
6: Others had already mentioned Balthazar, but you're the only one to mention the Nohrian crest on the banners throughout the comic, Delete This!
7: In the third panel, Camilla turns around/screams with so much vigor that she blows out a candle. I was wondering whether anyone was going to spot this, but A Sad Fat Dragon with No Friends did!
8: Well, regardless of route, it makes sense for Gunter to be in the Nohrian castle, N-Sight. I mostly put him there because he's the one you have to defeat to get a Bifröst in Fates!
9: Furthermore, there's only one other Bifröst to be found in Fates, which is why Gunter has two. Canon!
10: In the fifth panel, we can spot the wall on which the Nohrian children (Xander, Camilla, Leo, Corrin and Elise) kept track of their growth. Good catch, Michael Ederer.
11: Elise and Benny are actually pairable in Fates. It's weird.
12: The happy couple apparently celebrated their love by writing E <3 B on the wall behind them, but they put a little S inside the heart, which indeed stands for S-support, Lord Circe.
13: Camilla mentioning Casual Mode is a reference to a revival method I was considering for ages, Daniel Myhre. In the end I couldn't make it work without it feeling super cheap, but I did want to reference it somewhere.
14: Felicia and Jacob (a butler and a maid in Fates) have unique weapons: their tray and plate. These weapons/pieces of household equipment are hanging on the wall in the background of panel six and seven.
15: Good eyes, Zach. Pac-Man's hand is still bandaged from the bonus panel in which Kazuya broke his hand.
16: This week's obscure game character portrait: Hype from Hype: the Time Quest (a Playmobil game I played all the time as a kid) is hanging on the wall in the background of the final panel!
17: Correct Generic Hero! When I was making this comic, I decided to check the wiki about the Bifröst staff in case I had forgotten anything. Turns out I had: the Bifröst can only be used by maids or butlers in Fates. So I had a mild panic attack and googled to see if there were any maids or butlers in Smash. Turns out yes, there's an actual maid Mii outfit. So I used Mii Gunner/Sans as a maid to be the Bifröst wielder!
18: Yes, I did intentionally put Charizard there to celebrate the revival of Corrin, Tejayes. It's indeed because they're both dragons... well, kinda.
19: In the final panel, Isabelle 2 is carrying some slippers intended for Corrin's bare feet. Maybe she doesn't know he's not supposed to wear shoes since she wasn't a Smash fighter originally, Trigger.
20: This week's crewmate is found in Captain Falcon's belt buckle in the final panel, as caught by KII!
21: Okay Supercharged (CEO of 9-Volt), I'm actually going to give you a point for that, because I DID consider changing "Wii Fit Trainer" to "What The Fuck" in the seventh panel, but it was too easy to spot. I felt it was a bit too distracting, so I removed it again.
Next week, I'll reveal all the details that haven't been found. These ones are written in italic.
