Please only comment with ONE hidden detail or reference!
There ONE Loss, ONE Balthazar, and NO JoJo reference. A light one this week! Bonus panels don't count.
1: There's a little Balthazar drawing on the cups the group is playing Liar's Dice with. Glad you noticed him, Marwan Abunura!
2: And yes, there's a loss on the scoresheet, Luke. I tried so hard to come up with an excuse to draw a horizontal line to make it loss, but I couldn't come up with a creative solution in the end, so I just drew it very lazily.
3: Yes, Alex Nelson, they are indeed playing Liar's Dice. Because Cuphead likes to roll the dice, as mentioned in his own game. But, Tejayes, I'll give you a point here as well, because your "cup" theory is amazing and very funny.
4: The Zelda cake's sphere-thingy is modeled after the thing that falls from Aerith's hands when she's stabbed by Sephiroth in Final Fantasy VII. I've never played the game so I have no idea what it's supposed to be, but I guess it's a Materia? Nevertheless, glad you noticed, Aust Sakura Kyzor.
5: Trigger and Azalea are both right: Cloud, Sephiroth and the Zelda cake make the same poses as Sephiroth, Cloud and Aerith in the original scene, respectively.
6: No one mentioned Sephiroth's dig at Nintendo not REALLY celebrating Zelda's 35th anniversary (except for rereleasing an upscaled version of Skyward Sword for full price, I guess), but Cameron Devera did mention the 35h anniversary cake so I'll count it.
7: Some other meta commentary: Cloud references how ridiculous Sephiroth's behaviour is by comparing it to a cartoon. Little does he know he is, in fact, part of a comic strip.
8: Chef Squirtle makes another appearance as Sephiroth's baking buddy, continuing the little arc from last comic. Found by Conner Kavanaugh.
9: Man, I actually forgot they referenced Aerith by nearly getting Zelda stabbed in the reveal trailer, John Hattan! I'll count this one, even though it was unintentional.
After one week, I'll reveal all the details that haven't been found. These ones are written in italic.
