Please only comment with ONE hidden detail or reference!
There ONE Loss, ONE Balthazar, and NO JoJo reference. Bonus panels don't count.
1: Medusa references Alucard's origin by saying her snakes haven't had half-vampire in a while (Alucard is the son of Dracula and a human woman)
2: Among Medusa's snakes, there's one snake that looks a lot like... Snake. Glad you noticed, N-Sight.
3: Everyone in the comic switched to vampire hunter outfits, with lots of trenchcoats, belts and boots. Just to fit in with the theme.
4: Incineroar decides it's a smart idea to bite one of the snakes in the second panel.
5: Baby Piranha Plant is letting out a war cry in the second panel, just like his dad.
6: Kirby is using a little cross to fight Medusa in the second panel. He knows his weapons, Marwan Abunura.
7: And finally, Kazuya switched to his Devil Form for the fight in the second panel.
8: There's a little sign in the third panel pointing the way to Death. Let's call it foreshadowing.
9: There's also a Messenger from Bloodborne visible in the third panel since I thought it fit in with the general theme of the comic. Found by Brian Gundersen
10: Incineroar is still holding the snake head in the third panel. And yes, apparently it's still alive. Dracula magic is wild, Iron Collie.
11: Glad you noticed this, CSDX: Alucard references his "dear friend" Richter and someone related who he holds even closer to his heart, which is Trevor Belmont from Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse.
12: Another reference in the dialogue: Death mentions Luigi, referencing the 2018 Simon/Richter reveal trailer! Glad you realized what he was talking about, Gavin Walker.
13: On a shelf in the final panel, one can see three plushies. Two of these are Trevor and Sypha (these dolls appear in the Netflix series), and the third one is Balthazar. Thanks for finding them, Zanreo and Erin :)
14: Yep, Rosalina's hair is still growing back so she's still wearing her Incineroar wig, Luke.
15: Well... Dracula's Castle is indeed in World of Light, but this map originated in Dracula's Curse... I THINK. Not sure. But yeah, you can see Dracula's room in the sixth panel, John Hattan.
16: And finally, Trigger found the Loss again: in the scales on Medusa's face in the second panel!
I can't update these because I'm on a holiday, so you'll have to wait a bit longer than usual. Thanks for you patience. Once I'm back, I'll reveal all the details that haven't been found. These ones are written in italic.

2021-08-20 18:38:32 +0000 UTCMaybe not a comment (since I have already submitted mine, unless that one was already done and I didn’t notice/realise)… maybe either a comment and/or a question: Is Incineroar’s outfit an Indiana Jones Reference?
Magnus
2021-08-20 18:26:26 +0000 UTCYeah I just noticed too, in the last (or second last, depending) panel, on the shelf behind Rosalina, the two dolls from the beginning of season 3 of Castlevania, as well as the Balthazar.

Zach
2021-08-20 15:09:33 +0000 UTCAlucard's "dear friend" he mentions is Trevor Belmont, in turn a reference to their ventures in Castlevania 3.
CSDX
2021-08-20 15:05:30 +0000 UTCYeah, I was going to say this. Could the little cross Kirby is holding be a reference to the "Something About" series?

2021-08-20 14:25:29 +0000 UTCKazuya's plant son hides behind him in the last panel, probably scared of Kirby's infinite power

2021-08-20 14:18:10 +0000 UTCIs Kirby's headband supposed to imply that he's Fighter Kirby?
