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: First off: Bowser Jr. got orange juice instead of champagne becuase he's still a minor. Suggested by The Negotiator in the Discord, mentioned by Trigger!
2: Byleth loses her bow tie when she goes into the mind place with Sothis, which makes sense. Later, she puts the bowtie on the decoy Byleth, as noticed by Tejayes.
3: Balthazar appears in the second panel this week, as mentioned by Michael Ederer. He's in Byleth's brooch.
4: Yes, it's kind of sad, Jon Brouse, but Byleth is aware of how hated she was when she was revealed as a newcomer. Poor girl.
5: I wasn't sure if it was obvious Byleth was using a back entrance of the Smash house to escape, so I put a little sign on the wall in the fifth panel.
6: Many things in this flashback are identical to the original comic from a year ago, when Sephiroth poisoned everyone. The "RING" balloon is identical, as is all the dialogue, for example.
7: Yes, the "phone number" in the sixth panel is actually Byleth's release date, Cameron Devera! (January 28th, 2020)
8: On the dumpster in the sixth panel, someone wrote SWEAR WORDS and GUTTER LANGUAGE. This was more of a standalone joke and not intended as a SpongeBob reference, but I get where you're coming from, Lukas Wandler.
9: The same dumpster has another appearance of the "Loser" graffiti from SpongeBob, only with Waluigi replacing Squidward. This time, I also switched the L from Loser to an upside down L, luke Waluigi's hat. Not sure how you type that, Generic Hero.
10: In Byleth's stocking in the sixth panel, one can discover the shape of a crewmate. And that's exactly what VisionPlayer22 did.
11: Today's obscure video game character portrait: Ed from Tonic Trouble in the sixth panel! Glad you noticed good old Ed, MrTerminator3010.
12: Now that you mention it, Daniel Myhre, Kazuya's wheelbarrow does create a continuity error, since Banjo and the Ice Climbers never get thrown into the volcano in the original comic. Very astute of you, I hadn't noticed it myself!
13: In the sixth panel as Byleth is placing the decoy, the windows behind her form loss, as mentioned by Dave Papworth.
14: I think the Smash house has a different design every single time I draw it, but at least the Smash window stays consistent, Phloxiana!
15: In the seventh panel, Kazuya is following a sign that says "cliffs". Guess those cliffs must be pretty close to the house, Lord Circe.
16: And finally, in the final panel, you'll notice that the Byleth doll is slightly charred from being thrown in the volcano by Kazuya!
All the details that haven't been found are written in italic.
