Hidden Details: The Cultivated God of Death

Welcome to the one-hundredth-and-eighth 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 ONE Loss, NO Balthazar (I forgor), and TWO JoJo reference. Bonus panels don't count.

1: Sora does indeed put a Donald cap on Falco's head in the first panel, Luke. The cap remains there for the rest of the comic.
2: The first one of many Pikmin details: in the first/second panel, a bunch of Pikmin reenact loss. One of the most obvious ones ever, but somehow also one of the funniest. Trigger found it once again.
3: Bowser Jr. and Yoshi are working together to pluck fruit from a tree in the background of the first panel, as pointed out by John Hattan. This is also a reference to the Pikmin games, in which you have to collect fruit.
4: JoJo reference: there are two other Pikmin doing the "approaching" poses from Jotaro and DIO in the manga. Good catch, Carlos Mendez.
5: Yep, that is indeed Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson in the background, CSDX! This time appearing as... an actual rock. Stupid joke, I know.
6: There's a little Pikmin balancing on top of Ridley while he's buried.
7: Rosalina is reading the Pikmin a bedtime story in the background of the first panel. She's reading from the storybook from Mario Galaxy. Wholesome huh, Erin?
8: There's a tiny little sub-story going on on Samus' shoulder pads, as pointed out by Noah. First, there are two Pikmin sitting on either sides of Samus' suit. Later, they notice each other and snuggle up together. In the final panel, their story comes to a tragic end as one of them falls off.
9: In the panel with Bowser, there's a Pikmin riding a butterfly. Glad you noticed him and his epic mount, Zanreo.
10: Bowser is looking for rare butterflies in the background of the third panel. Fun fact ColdSlayerxd: intern Mink drew those pages that said "do not eat". I didn't notice until I uploaded the comic.
11: A bunch of blue Pikmin are enjoying a waterfall in the same panel. They can, because they are blue Pikmin. Glad you noticed that, FoxdocDylan!
12: JoJo reference: in the same panel, there's another suspicious rock visible: the Angelo rock from Diamond is Unbreakable. Yo, getchell__.
13: There's another little substory going on with Master Chief: in the first panel, he notices a bunch of Pikmin being chased by a Bulborb. In the second panel, he crushes the Bulborb with his foot, which causes the Pikmin to cheer him on. My favourite detail this week, Shelby Kinkead.
14: Yes Abdulaziz Alaryani!! I barely saw anyone talk about the little crewmate among the group of Pikmin after Master Chief crushes the Bulborb. Glad you found him.
15: In the final panels, one can notice fruit remains around Yoshi and Bowser Jr.'s mouths. And that's exactly what Tejayes did.
16: I'll give both Phloxiana and Daniel Myhre a point for this: in the final panels, Chief can be seen waving to the Pikmin he saved. One of the Pikmin has made a little <3 Master Chief flag and is proudly waving it.
17: There's also a Pikmin Naruto running in the final panel. He's on his way to Area 51, Lord Circe.
18: Another Pikmin is looking up at Ridley, in awe of the size of the lad.
19: I forgot about this one, Aris. But you're right, we gave Fox a Triforce belt buckle. Don't as k us why or what this is supposed to be referencing.
20: And finally: Olimar, Alph and Ridley now have little Pikmin leaves on their heads, since they've been revived by an Onion. Hopefully they'll fall off at one point, Zach.

I have a hard time counting them because there's so many, but we'll see what you all find.

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

Comments

Bowser's reading glasses while reading his book.

Ashe Celeste

Side note - the Pikmin riding the butterfly in that same panel is coloured yellow, but has no ears and a prominent nose. I'm guessing it was supposed to be red?

Foxdoc

I imagine blue Pikmin think of waterfalls as waterslides :) all the Pikmin in the water are blue Pikmin, a reference to their unique ability to survive in water

Foxdoc

I am happy now.

THEx

3rd panel, in the group of pikmin, theres one thats an imposter which is highly sus. (Among us)

THEx

Lol I like the Master Chief flag made by the Pikmin

Lobo Panyagua

If you look closely at the book, the story Rosalina is telling is her own story from Super Mario Galaxy.

Supercharged (CEO of 9-Volt)

I haven't deleted anything... Maybe Patreon thought it was spam or something?

Wooden Plank Studios

Why has my comment been deleted?

THEx

The yellow and red Pikmin on Samus' shoulders remain there throughout the comic, find each other, snuggle, and the red falls at the end.

Noah

Master Chief and the blue on the Window are waving bye to each other.

Pokedude14

Just woke up, and it looks like everyone else got to what I would have said, but I'll go out on a limb and say that it looks like Master Chief is leaving in this panel and that this is his last guest appearance if that counts as a secret. EDIT: Also, there's no Winged or Rock Pikmin either.

Rainbow of Light

The rock in the 2nd panel is literally The Rock, as in former pro wrestler turned movie star Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.

CSDX

There are no purple or white Pikmin, as none of the living fighters know how to obtain them and there aren’t any candypop buds nearby

Jamie Cooper

A blue Pikmin is doing the Naruto run in the last panel.

Lord Circe

To continue the reference to Pikmin's bad end; Olimar, Alph and Ridley have little Pikmin leaves on their head after being revived.

Zach

I absolutely love this 😭😭😭

Griffin Seeley

Bowser has a book about the butterflies with it saying “Do not eat”. Must be making a new recipe.

ColdSlayerxd

Yo, Angelo

Eevee Shadow Bacon

Fox triforce belt buckle, "final" panel

Aris

Red Pikmin on Dark Seamus’s shoulder is holding a flag with Master Chief’s picture and a heart. All hail the Savior of Pikmins!

Phloxiana

Dark Samus is no longer taped up so perhaps her armor is actually fixed and properly worn now

happy pasta

A Pikmin riding a butterfly

Zanreo

Yoshi grabs an apple

John Hattan

Bowser Jr. and Yoshi have crumbs on their face after eating the fruit on PNF-404

Youmg

Loss on Pkmin

Cameron Devera

The face rock in the first panel is Reggie, probably referencing his famous line " I feel like a purple Pikmin" . The other face rock is another reference, but I'll respect the " one reference per backer" rule

Luffink

You beat me to the punch!

Shelby Kinkead

About what Luke said about one of the hidden details, if Sora is had Falco wear a hat belonging to Donald Duck why didn’t he put a Goofy Hat on Star Wolf? I want to see Wolf with a Goofy Hat!

Shelby Kinkead

Angelo Rock in panel 3

getchell__

Blue and Yellow Pikmin approaching each other like Dio and Jotaro in the second panel

GhostElmo

rosalina is reading a story to the pikmin like she does for the lumas!

Erin

Yoshi and Bowser Jr. have red flecks on their mouths in the last panel, showing just how much they enjoyed those fruits in the first panel.

Tejayes

Pikmin loss scene!

Trigger

Master chief killed the Bulborb (I think I spelled it right) and now is praised by the Pikmin!

Shelby Kinkead

Sora manages to put Donald Duck’s hat onto Falco

Luke
