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 Xenoblade lore books from the previous comics are visible in the background in the first panel.
2: Many interestingly shaped chocolates in Simon's box in the first panel, as mentioned by Daniel Myhre. Among them (hehe) is a crewmate, as pointed out by Cameron Devera. Simon is handing a chocolate Metroid to Dark Samus, as pointed out by edmg7. Dark Samus is holding a little Wario W, as pointed out by CSDX.
3: I had to insert a quick and easy reason as to why they are celebrating holidays when their friends are dead, that's why I included that banner with the Isabelle's note in the first panel, Lord Circe!
4: Yes! You'll have to zoom in but Bayonetta is drinking the wine from Resident Evil Village, Sanguis Virginus. Maybe Isabelle brought a bottle home when she went on holiday there, Trigger.
5: There's a little bit of foreshadowing on the door next to Bayonetta when she's calling Scorpion: it says "unrevived fighters 60-70". Ryu and Ken are fighter 60 and 60ᵋ.
6: Bayonetta's phone case has little Umbra Witch decals!
7: Scorpoin and Sub-Zero are on an actual Mortal Kombat stage, but I couldn't tell you all what the name of the stage is. I think it's an iconic one though!
8: This week's loss is not the usual arrangement of lines, but a "LOSS" sign similar to the "HOME" signs some people have in their homes. Congrats on finding this prestigious detail, Jonas!
9: There's a little picture of baby Piranha Plant as a seed on Kazuya's wall.
10: Kazuya is also keeping tabs on Plant's height. We can see measuring lines on the wall behind him. Glad you noticed, Luffink!
11: Kazuya is reading a "the birds and the bees" book to Plant. Yeah, guess he's getting old, Shelby Kinkead.
12: Bayonetta is carrying the dead fighters around with Madama Butterfly's hand she summons from portals. Just like in Smash, Tim Vinson!
13: Yes Chj92!! Ryu, Ken and Terry are lying in their respective K.O. poses from their original games! Glad someone noticed this. Later, Ryu does a whole-ass flip and changes into his fighting stance as well, as pointed out by Zach.
14: The Smash house is temporarily closed because of a mass murder, as indicated by the sign on the front door. This sign appeared once before in a bonus panel involving Goofy and Donald!
15: I agree, Luke! The Balthazar garden gnome seen in the yard outside does have to be real!
16: Correct Phloxiana, Squirtle and Pikachu are watching the fight from the first floor. Or second floor if you're American, I guess.
17: Piranha Plant has a little purple flame decal on the side of his pot, just like his dad has on his pants! Glad you noticed that, Nathan Lowell. He also takes on the same pose as his dad, but it's not a reference to Tekken Tag Team as far as I'm concerned, Eevee Shadow Bacon.
18: The flying Pikmin aren't good at spelling, as indicated by the backwards R in Ryu. Good catch, Michael Ederer. And one of the flying Pikmin colours the health bar of Ryu/Ken/Terry once they're revived. My personal favourite detail this week, Supercharged (CEO of 9-Volt)!
19: We can see Zelda with two Valentine's Day letters and getting another one from Toon Link. Based on the colours of the envelopes, I'd say they are indeed from Young Link and Toon Link, Griffin Seeley!
20: And in the final panel we can also see Duck getting ready to give a Valentine's Day letter to Kazooie! Good eye, Tejayes.
21: I have no idea what his gloves are supposed to say, but yes, in this comic, Ryu's glove say "uwu", A Sad Fat Dragon with No Friends.
22: The error on Kazuya's health bar sign is actually a reference to myself, as I had no idea who Kazuya was when he was revealed and I had a very hard time remembering his name. My mind always got stuck on "Yakuza". By now I can remember his name, luckily. Good catch Zanreo!
23: And finally: yes Jon Brouse, Terry calling Bayonetta the Queen of Fighter is of course a reference to his own game series!
Next week, I'll reveal all the details that haven't been found. These ones are written in italic.
