Added 2021-10-22 14:00:07 +0000 UTCWelcome to the one-hundredth-and-fifth 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, ONE Balthazar, and NO JoJo reference. Bonus panels don't count.
1: In the first panel, there's a cardboard sign in the background saying "spacies here". Apparently they did some corpse organizing, CSDX.
2: Sora called Bowser "Browser". This was based on how personal experiences: I know young people who insist on calling Bowser Browser for some reason. I thought it would fit Sora, for some reason. Glad you noticed it, Pandocula.
3: There's a box of items in the background of the first panel. There's also a box right next to it labeled "no items, Final Destination, Fox only". This is indeed a reference to the famous Melee meme, Iron Collie!
4: Samus has a little webcam in her suit, as seen in the second panel. It's a Chozo GoPro, Zach.
5: Sora also mentions he thought Samus was a he and called Metroid. Further cementing him as an oblivious but sweet kid. Shelby Kinkead found this one.
6: Balthazar can be found right underneath the E.M.M.I. this week. Glad you found the lad, Carlos Mendez.
7: Sora, being a zoomer, can't resist saying "amogus" when Bowser says "...space characters among us". Probably my favourite joke this week, McClappin.
8: Good catch Put 9-Volt in Smash Bros Please, there's a sign in the fifth panel that says Super. Smash. Bros., like those signs that say Live. Laugh. Love. that basic people have in their homes.
9: The Dog and the Duck are so excited about going to space that they immediately put on space helmets in the fifth panel.
10: There's a Game Award visible in the fifth panel. It's indeed the 2019 award that Smash won for best fighting game, Trigger!
11: There's a couple of COG tags (a collectible in Gears of War) on the lawn of the Xbox house. Sharp eye, John Hattan.
12: The flowers on the Xbox lawn are also little X shapes!
13: In the same panel, one can faintly see the ruins of the Konami house/building in the background. In my headcanon, Konami once had a house of their own similar to the Smash house and Xbox house, but it's long since been abandoned (because Konami stopped making games and ruined all their franchises). Glad you noticed it, Luffink.
14: On the Xbox house door, there's a Doritos and MTN DEW sticker. I didn't know these brands actually sponsored Xbox, I just associate them with Xbox/American gaming culture, Zanreo.
15: The timer on Link's tomb is once again visible, and I made it so that it has counted the days since the last time we saw it. I realized I kind of screwed things up for myself though, because I now have to come up with an explanation as to why the corpses aren't rotting yet, Tejayes.
16: Bowser Jr. is happy he's reunited with his dad :) You tend to notice the most wholesome details, Phloxiana.
17: Wolf's eyepatch (a running joke) is falling from his face, revealing he's not missing an eye at all.
18: This week's loss is indeed on one of the Arwing's wings, Tess! It's indeed really subtle.
19: Vah Noboris is faintly visible in the background of the final panel. Good eyes, Erin!
20: "Get in losers, we're going to space!", is, of course, a Mean Girls reference. Shame no one got this!
Next week, I'll reveal all the details that haven't been found. These ones are written in italic.

I believe you linked the wrong comic

2021-11-03 19:57:45 +0000 UTCYay I knew it, glad I found one
Pandocula
2021-10-29 13:22:52 +0000 UTC"Chozo GoPro" Oh, no...
Tejayes
2021-10-29 12:34:32 +0000 UTCI just realized I kinda fucked myself with this, because how the hell are those dead fighter bodies not rotten by now
Wooden Plank Studios
2021-10-29 09:55:14 +0000 UTCThinking back on it, Vanitas is more likely to say “Get in losers” while it makes more sense for Sora to say “Come aboard guys” or something along those lines. Although in the latest comic we have seen glimpses of his “lost innocence”
Shelby Kinkead
2021-10-28 14:16:24 +0000 UTCThose are COG tags from Gears of War
John Hattan
2021-10-25 00:11:28 +0000 UTCNo one mentioned this yet, but on XBox's front lawn there seem to be some hand cuffs, however, I've got no idea what they might mean
PurpEnigma
2021-10-24 07:49:29 +0000 UTCLiterally just noticed on another look through but Urbosa’s divine beast is in the background of the final panel.
Joseph Pirrone
2021-10-23 14:12:55 +0000 UTCAt the first panel Sora say Bowser name "Browser" as the name of the internet and at the fourth panel Bowser called out "Among Us" as the game. Sus!
Pandocula
2021-10-23 04:09:33 +0000 UTCBonus panels don’t count unfortunately
Shelby Kinkead
2021-10-23 00:09:24 +0000 UTCRichter, Rosalina, Yoshi and Bowser Jr. have been waiting for about 44 days so far for Link to revive.
Gavin Walker
2021-10-22 21:20:16 +0000 UTCThere's an EMMI sneaking up behind Samus on her call.
Pokedude14
2021-10-22 19:28:11 +0000 UTCIn the fifth panel behind Bowser there’s a sign saying “Super. Smash. Bros.” With a heart, parodying the live laugh love home signs we all have.
Supercharged (CEO of 9-Volt)
2021-10-22 18:35:38 +0000 UTCMan, I thought I'd found it first. Don't think that's an arwing though, I figure it's something of master chief's.
Aris
2021-10-22 17:21:40 +0000 UTCBowser Jr. is happy as heck to see his dad in the last panel.
Phloxiana
2021-10-22 16:57:12 +0000 UTCYou can see a little camera pop out of Samus's suit's head when it starts the video call
Zach
2021-10-22 15:26:14 +0000 UTCThere's a sign in the first panel saying "Spacies here", for all the characters that have mainly been in space-related games.
CSDX
2021-10-22 15:22:45 +0000 UTCsora says amogus
2021-10-22 14:54:58 +0000 UTCNo really it keeps taking me to the “Sora at the Door-ah” comic made weeks ago
Shelby Kinkead
2021-10-22 14:50:53 +0000 UTCThat's deliberate, I'm pretty sure you don't need a helmet on the Gummi Ship so they took them off again when they realized they weren't going to need them!
Wooden Plank Studios
2021-10-22 14:32:48 +0000 UTCIn the final panel, the countdown clock says 321 Days (and some hours, minutes, and seconds, yadda yadda). This means that Richter, Rosalina, Yoshi, and Bowser Jr. have been there for over 43 days, which is about the same time period between this comic and "Results May Fairy" when they first put Link into the Rejuvenation Chamber.
Tejayes
2021-10-22 14:31:49 +0000 UTCNever actually noticed until you pointed it out, great eye!
Shelby Kinkead
2021-10-22 14:30:32 +0000 UTCIt seems that plushy has made a reappearance!
Shelby Kinkead
2021-10-22 14:26:54 +0000 UTCNot a hidden detail but inconsistency the duck and dog already have space helmets on in the fifth panel when Sora mentions his gummi ship but in the final panel when they’re actually in the ship they aren’t wearing helmets
happy pasta
2021-10-22 14:22:10 +0000 UTCWhich is in reference to those brands being sponsors of both Xbox and Halo
happy pasta
2021-10-22 14:15:03 +0000 UTCthe divine beast vah naboris is present in the background of the final panel!
Erin
2021-10-22 14:13:43 +0000 UTCLoss was sneaky as heck this time around! But its on one of the arwing's wings!
2021-10-22 14:13:07 +0000 UTCKonami, didn’t they help with the Yu-Gi-Oh video games at one point or am I thinking of another video game? I can’t remember if I’m thinking of another video game or not
Shelby Kinkead
2021-10-22 14:10:11 +0000 UTCYou can see Duck Hunt Dog adorably wagging his tail in excitement to see Samus alive.
Carrick RaccoonBro Inabnett
2021-10-22 14:09:05 +0000 UTCI also found a hidden detail in the fourth panel besides the Balthazar as pointed out by Joseph and Carlos but I’m going to let other people find it themselves
Shelby Kinkead
2021-10-22 14:08:25 +0000 UTCI forgot about that one!
Shelby Kinkead
2021-10-22 14:06:21 +0000 UTCHey Wooden Plank Studios, now I’m just guessing but I think the link in the post has the wrong url
Shelby Kinkead
2021-10-22 14:05:43 +0000 UTCIn the sixth panel there’s a Konami building in the background thats basically a ruin. Well done Konami for ruining your IP! Also in the fourth panel there’s a Balthazar under the EMMI.
Joseph Pirrone
2021-10-22 14:05:08 +0000 UTCFound it, it was the third panel I was thinking of!
Shelby Kinkead
2021-10-22 14:04:16 +0000 UTCI can’t remember which panel it was but Sora originally thought Samus name was “Metroid” and that she was a boy which referenced the first Metroid game in which the players though her name was Metroid while thinking the character was a boy until the best ending revealed them to be a she. Also now it’s basically the name of her species since she’s technically half Metroid now if not a full Metroid!
Shelby Kinkead
2021-10-22 14:03:33 +0000 UTCWhen Bowser's walking to their neighbours' porch, we can see the dilapidated ruins of the Konami offices in the background
Luffink
2021-10-22 14:02:13 +0000 UTCYo, is that a crash plushy I see on the shelf? Still a shame we didn't get him!
Mark Nasuti
2021-10-22 14:01:36 +0000 UTCThe box at the top right has a Label for "No items, Fox only, Final destination", A competitive Melee reference.
Iron Collie
2021-10-22 14:01:29 +0000 UTCBalthazar next to the E.M.M.I
GhostElmo
2021-10-22 14:01:27 +0000 UTCMii gunner is still wearing her sans outfit from before. I'm kinda sad for her though
Dirtydan8991
2021-10-22 14:01:13 +0000 UTCMountain Dew and Doritos stickers on the Microsoft/Xbox door
Zanreo
2021-10-22 14:01:09 +0000 UTCThere's some COG tags from gears of war lying in the xbox yard. Hopefully Sep didn't kill them all too
John Hattan
2021-10-22 14:00:29 +0000 UTCGame awards 2019 trophy behind Bowser in the 5th panel, which is the year when SSBU earned it.
