1* AlternateCharacterInterpretation:
2** Was Sakurai having Kirby punish Incineroar for nearly leaking the final two Smashers excessive? Or was it a case of pragmatism so that Sephiroth wouldn't go after Sora the moment he overheard that he would've been the last fighter?
3** In "Gym Rats", Wario is working with law enforcements to arrest a Toad who is peddling drug products from Super Mushrooms. Is he doing it because he has standards or is he just doing it for the cash reward, [[TakeAthirdOption or a bit of both]]?
4* CatharsisFactor:
5** Sephiroth getting his [[LaserGuidedKarma well-deserved karma]], from Doomguy, Pyra, Sora, [[HumiliationConga and more]]. With all the [[KickTheDog dogs he's kicked]] and [[MoralEventHorizon moral event horizons he's crossed]], it's nice to see him get his own fair share of despair.
6** Cloud finally [[IWarnedYou telling everyone off]] for how he was being paranoid for nothing, both because [[ProperlyParanoid he was right all along]] that [[BitchInSheepsClothing Sephiroth was only pretending to be nice]], and also because he's the last of the Smashers to be revived, as it's implied everyone else knew this would happen upon his revival.
7** [[spoiler:Kirby -- disguised as Meta Knight -- throwing a Friend Heart at Sephiroth and Cloud doing an All-Out Attack on Inner Sephiroth. The latter is especially cathartic given how Cloud ''finally'' gets payback on the guy who made him a complete paranoiac (whom no one believed) and brought despair to everyone with his poisoning gambit. Moreover, "Last Plane Home" gives Cloud one more act of catharsis, with the other fighters letting him punch Sephiroth in the face for all he had done.]]
8* HarsherInHindsight: Seeing Sephiroth playing a prank on Cloud with Ness and Lucas (seen [[https://www.woodenplankstudios.com/comic/why-do-i-hear-boss-music-everyone-is-home/ here]]) and later baking with Squirtle becomes harder when [[WouldHurtAChild he targets all of them]] [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness in his scheme]].
9* HilariousInHindsight:
10** "Everyone is Dead" features Sakurai trying to recruit fighters for the next fighter to reveal whose name begins with an I, and everyone is unwilling to join. Come next trailer, and Isabelle is revealed without anyone getting hurt (or maybe he was referring to Incineroar...)
11** In "Herodent", Sakurai is seen playing ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'' in the background. A couple of months later, Byleth would end up joining Smash.
12** Sora is one of the characters Sephiroth trolled with fake Smash invites in "Bringing Despair". Sora would eventually get a genuine invitation and be added as the final DLC character a couple months later... just in time to [[LaserGuidedKarma kick Sephiroth's ass]].
13** To a lesser extent, Doomguy and Rex also got a fake invite. Rex isn't playable in Smash, but Pyra and Mythra are and he is part of their Final Smash, whereas Doomguy would also get a spot in Smash, albeit as a Mii costume.
14** Pyra and Mythra surviving Sephiroth's poisoning due to him not taking Blade physiology into account and the other fighters being thrown off guard by this revelation become this after ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles3'', [[spoiler:where Nia, an older-generation Flesh-Eater Blade, survives an assassination attempt by D on account of the latter not knowing that Blades can only be killed by damaging their Core Crystals, with the party reacting similarly to her waking up and shrugging off an otherwise fatal injury]]. Especially since [[spoiler:Nia herself]] is the one to explain the whole affair to the other fighters.
15** The subplot of Bayonetta reviving Ryu, Ken and Terry to get back at Simon -- and a bonus panel agreeing into a polyamorous relationship with Simon and Dark Samus -- can become this after ''VideoGame/Bayonetta3'' reveals that [[spoiler:one version of her ends up with Luka Redgrave and they have a daughter, Viola.]] In fact, prior to the OperationJealousy, Bayo is wearing a sweater, which is what she wears at the opening of ''Bayonetta 3''.
16** In Cynthia's first appearance in the Sinnoh arc, she says that they were going to distribute the Azure Flutes but never did. [[spoiler: In ''VideoGame/PokemonLegendsArceus'', after the player gets the Celestica Flute, it turns into the Azure Flute and can unlock an OldSaveBonus in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl and catch Arceus in those games]].
17** During the Paldea arc, Incineroar dresses himself in a Naranja Academy uniform, presumably to disguise himself after his previous encounters with Pokémon border control. "The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero" DLC would eventually bring every starter Pokémon into the Paldea games, including Incineroar.
18** [[spoiler:Ridley being taken out because the area he's in is blasted to smithereens]] is a hilarious mirror to the oh-so-common incident of [[spoiler:planets and space stations in ''Franchise/{{Metroid}}'' [[EarthShatteringKaboom being obliterated into dust]], with Ridley himself having been a victim of such in a few games.]]
19* HoYay: At the end of Smash Support, Kazuya and Incineroar are seen hugging each other, outright saying "I love you" to each other.
20* IKnewIt:
21** Several commenters correctly guessed that Dialga would be used to recover Link in the future.
22** Some commenters also accurately guessed that Pyra/Mythra weren't actually dead, and that Rex was also indirectly poisoned.
23** Most people predicted that Cloud would be the last to be revived and that he would be telling everyone that he warned them not to trust Sephiroth.
24** Quite a few commenters also correctly guessed that [[spoiler:Meta Knight was a FakeDefector]].
25* MemeticMutation: Fans would often joke that Cloud was going scream "[[IWarnedYou I TOLD YOU SO!]]" at everyone after being revived for not believing him when he warned them that Sephiroth was faking his good-guy act [[TheCassandra and dismissed him as paranoid]], and because of this they speculated that the rest of the fighters are going to revive Cloud last so they won't have to deal with him until a while. And yes, Cloud is the final fighter that needs to be revived. In fact, the final panel of his revival has him going around telling ''everyone'' "I told you!"
26* MoralEventHorizon: Sephiroth crosses this in "[[https://www.woodenplankstudios.com/comic/dinner-despair-everyone-is-home/ Dinner Despair]]", poisoning ''ALL'' the Smash fighters ([[WouldHurtAChild even the children]] and Squirtle, who he appeared to have a bond with) and torments Cloud for taking a long time to trust him. He escapes the mansion, but thanks to Kazuya's late arrival and Incineroar being let out of the basement (as well as Kirby surviving the poisoning and Samus not being present when the dinner took place), the damage can be undone. However, he wants to keep his magnum opus in check, and when that failed, resorted to an army of video game villains to destroy Smash Mansion and all who live there. But Shadow Sephiroth reveals an even grimmer plan: use a dickbutt Sephiroth meteor to destroy the entire world, [[ForTheEvulz just because he thinks it will be the ultimate prank to end all pranks]]. This ultimately showcases Sephiroth's KnightOfCerebus status '''big time'''.
27* MorePopularSpinoff: Initially, WebComic/WoodenPlankStudios wasn't just ''Everyone is Home''; there had been comics and storylines based on other games and properties as well, notably ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'', ''Series/GameOfThrones'', the ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'', ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'', and ''VideoGame/AnimalCrossingNewHorizons'' (some of which having been alluded to in ''Everyone is Home''). But due to ''Everyone Is Home'' being popular with fans, combined with the author admitting that he liked the concept of the Smashers going to different video game worlds, ''Everyone is Home'' became the site's main comic starting with the Revival Arc.
28* NightmareFuel: In "Robot Reboot", after [[Franchise/MegaMan Dr. Light fixes up Mega Man by swapping his head for another]], Kirby gets an idea in his little pink head. This prompts him to travel to the Mushroom Kingdom and graphically sever a penguin's head offscreen to try and replicate the strategy for King Dedede, with blood still on his smiling face and horrified expressions on several other characters. It doesn’t work, obviously.
29* SignatureSeriesArc: "Everyone Gets Murdered By Sephiroth" is the arc that made ''Everyone is Home'' well-known, due to the research done to revive all the characters and the camaraderie between the Smashers as they try to undo the damage Sephiroth brought upon them.
30* SpiritualSuccessor: As a webcomic based on the antics of the ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' cast, it's often noted as a (slightly more adult-orientated) successor to ''Webcomic/BrawlInTheFamily''. The concept of the Smashers all living together in a large house also calls to mind the Smash-based comics that in the past were a common feature in ''Webcomic/AwkwardZombie''.
31* {{Squick}}: Captain Falcon, Wii Fit Trainer and Pac-Man come down with this during their quest to revive Corrin when they arrived at Nohr. At first Wii Fit Trainer questions the age difference between [[TokenMiniMoe Elise]] and [[FaceOfAThug Benny]], who are in a relationship, but Camilla really set the mood when she mentions that [[NotBloodSiblings her adopted sweet little brother, Corrin, is also her loving husband]]. This was enough to emotionally drain the trio from the whole thing, possibly for the rest of the story.
32* TheWoobie:
33** Cloud goes through the wringer with Sephiroth playing a pretend act of turning good, due to the fact that he let his paranoia get the best of him and stabbing a cake for the 35th anniversary for ''Legend of Zelda'' and then realizing too late that he was ''right all along'' and nobody believed him until after they got poisoned. Thankfully, after he shouts at everyone how he was right (and is promptly ignored), he ends up getting some well-deserved catharsis on Sephiroth by being the one who unleashes an All-Out Attack on Shadow Sephiroth and getting to punch Sephiroth in the real world.
34** Female Byleth questions why she got poisoned -- with Sothis even remarking that it was pretty stupid on the former's part to trust Sephiroth -- and notes that she felt like she had such a chilly reception in the Smash House. Just like Cloud, she gets a happy ending by creating her own army to fight off Sephiroth's in the final battle.
