Hidden Details: Dragon Stressed

Welcome to the one-hundredth-and-twentieth 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 is ONE Loss, ONE Balthazar, ONE crewmate and NO JoJo reference. Bonus panels don't count.

1: The first of many Dragon Quest creatures who make a cameo in this comic: a Needler is using its needle to roast marshmallows in the first panel, as found by Zach.
2:
There's a silhouette looking at our heroes in the background of the first panel. It's the bear (Ursa minor) from the sixth panel, Tejayes.
3:
Mewtwo is floating the marshmallows with his psychic powers and is moving one to Luma. He might look badass but he's a softie on the inside, Griffin Seeley.
4:
Everyone is wearing outdoors/camping outfits, based on their original outfits!
5:
Ryu is wearing a Street Fighter logo shirt in the second panel.
6:
Yes, Ken indeed has a picture of his wife(s) in his tent: Eliza and Bayonetta. Little reference to the previous comic, edmg7.
7:
Steve is indeed ripped as hell, Shelby Kinkead.
8:
Ha, glad you still remember the Trididas shirt, Trigger! Ganon is still wearing it in the third panel.
9:
Glad you noticed Ganondorf is reading Fifty Shades, Luffink! I initially pasted the actual pages into his book, but it was too small too read, so I added another book (the sequel, I think), next to him.
10:
Donkey Kong is on his way to the toilet in the fourth panel (there's even a Donkey Kong on the sign), with a massive toilet paper roll. He indeed came prepared, Lord Circe.
11:
There's also a Slime and a Stark raven watching Fox and Falco argue in the fourth panel.
12:
Halfway through making this comic I realized it might be a bit vague to just show the Hero at the end without referencing him in the comic, so I put his feet in the background of the fourth panel, Noah.
13:
Luigi, Wario and Sora have sleeping bags with patterns that match their franchises: Luigi has little ghosts, Sora has Mickey Mouse ears, and Wario has Ws. Glad you noticed those, Phloxiana!
14:
Yep, there's a Maxim Tomato in the bag of food in the sixth panel, Jeffrey Solis!
15:
There's also a little crewmate in the bag of food in sixth panel, as pointed out by Zanreo. I agree, it probably doesn't taste good.
16:
Loss is in the spots of the sabrecub in the sixth panel, as pointed out by Chj92! There was a fake one in Fox' instructions. Stay sharp everyone!
17:
Yep, Balthazar is in the final panel wearing a little unicorn horn, Cameron Devera. It's a reference to a Bunicorn, another Dragon Quest creature.
18:
In the final panel, Olimar is carrying two leaves and a flower. The only bits left from his fallen Pikmin. Good eye, Daniel Myhre.
19:
The big tree from Dragon Quest (Yggdrasil?) is visible in the background of the final panel. I didn't even know it had healing powers, Kelly Culham-Erickson!
20:
Little error spotted by Michael Ederer: Falco isn't wearing shoes in the fourth panel, but he is in the final panel. Hadn't even noticed that myself!

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

Hidden Details: Dragon Stressed

Comments

The sign DK is following has a ditto on it, since dittos technically have no gender.

Josue Cazanga

There are a few details that haven’t been found yet, the urge is killing me 🥲

THEx

Loss is in the tent directions Fox and Falco are fighting over.

Terry

I’ve never heard that before! Any place that saying originated from specifically?

Jon Brouse

As the resident Fire type Pokémon (aside from the second coming of Pikachu), Incineroar would obviously be stoking the fire, but unfortunately also blows the smoke into Rosalina.

Jon Brouse

Robber Rabbit DQX in 6th panel

THEx

I just noticed the Yggdrasil tree in the background of the final panel. Great healing tree that gives life, but can’t do anything about how annoying camping can be.

Kelly Culham-Erickson

Not sure if it was entirely intentional or just a fun coincidence, but there's an old, short saying: "Smoke follows beauty." This is clearly demonstrated in panel one.

Aris

Whats a balthazar detail?

THEx

Fifty shades darker to be exact,

THEx

Olimar is carrying the flowers/leaf from his fallen friends

Pokedude14

Anyway I still think Sora got oil on his KH1 clothes back in the ROB and Mega Man comic “off-panel” so to speak which is why he’s not wearing his red jacket(or was it a vest?)

Shelby Kinkead

It seems as though Rosalina developed a condition of sorts after dealing with the smoke from roasting marshmallows the night prior.

CSDX

I honestly wasn’t expecting Steve to have abs

Shelby Kinkead

I don’t know if it was intentional or not but the Pokémon camping in the first panel makes me think of the camping mechanic also in Legends Arceus! It’s also used to heal the protagonist and their Pokémon as well as pass the time of day.

happy pasta

Triforce of adidas

VisionPlayer22

An ominous pair of eyes appears behind the crew in Panel 1. Kind of looks like an Abracadabrer.

Tejayes

I don't know what attack it was, but Kazooie obviously did not fare well in that fight.

Jake Lyde

There's a Needler roasting marshmallows with everyone in the first panel.

Zach

YOU FOOL! YOU FELL FOR HIS TRAP! That was a fake LOSS. The real one is on the Sabre's(cub version of the Sabrecat, the one that was part of the group of animals stealing from B&K food supplies) foreleg.

Chj92

A Maxim Tomato is inside the food bag that is being stolen.

Jeffrey Solis

DK came prepared with that barrel sized roll of TP.

Lord Circe

Luigi has ghosts on his blanket. Sora has a Mickey blanket, and Wario has a W blanket (because of course he does).

Phloxiana

Falco doesn't appear to be wearing shoes in his first panel, but he is in the last panel. I guess he put them on at some point.

Michael Ederer

Hero's dead body is behind the tree in the fourth panel.

Noah

Ganon is apparently reading the 50 Shades trilogy, judging by the book next to him. Maybe all those times being imprisoned and chained awakened something in him?XD

Luffink

Balthazar wearing a unicorn hat on the 7th panel

Cameron Devera

I would doubt Fox' instructions too if it would contain a LOSS of stuff You can't hide LOSS from my eyes, neverrrr

Jonas

Ganon still has that Adidas Triforce shirt you tried to sell as actual merch.

Trigger

Olimar is carrying leaves and flowers... from his fallen comrades 😭

A Sad Fat Dragon with No Friends

Ken has a picture of his wife Eliza hanging up next to the Bayo pic.

edmg7

Tiny blue crewmate in the bag of food the DQ monsters are stealing. I don't think those would taste very good...

Zanreo

I love how Mewtwo is floating a marshmallow to Luma 🥺

Griffin Seeley
