Usagi Yojimbo DojoBoard

Thanks for your patience!
Here it is! The new contest for this new week of this new month

Spot the Differences!
Let's make Inspector Ishida proud of our observation skills!

There are three images.
Each one has an unique set of differences
That means you can search comparing between two of them at a time, once you found one it won't repeat with the third one. So, the question is...
How many differences are in the images and where are they?
PM me an image indicating where the differences are and/or you can describe them as detailed as possible so I don't make any mistake
The winner of the contest will be the one whom finds all the differences or finds most of them. In case of a tie, it will be resolved via Randomizer.

If you have any problem seeing the images please let me know

The first hint. There are at least 16 differences in total

Good luck and have fun!!


*Special thanks to my best friend Carmina! She helped me with the editing of the images. I love you, amigueishon

Great idea for a contest and nice job with the images.
PM sent with my guesses.

Thank you, Trevis! Glad you like it

Whoa! There are answers already! That's great

I must say the third image is less brighter than the others(my fault, sorry ). So any color differences with the other two are explained by that and they don't count in the last result.
But between the first and the second image all color differences you find will count

I'll help you with one. The Komori ninja is missing in the first image

You can submit as many answers as you want. I'll be taking the last one before the end of the contest.
And I guess it's time for the next hint. There are at least 19 differences

Good luck!

This is a cool idea for a contest! I'm looking forward to trying to figure it out.

I was wondering if the color variations was intentional or not....

I've only ever seen this kind of puzzle with two different images. This is going to be an interesting one.

Great Contest idea! Very fun. Good luck to everyone! Peace, maka

This is fun. Do we only get one attempt or can we add as we go along?

I'm glad you're having fun!

You can submit an answer as many times as you like, Gaffey

Cool, I've sent in my first attempt.

Thank you for your patience!
I've received many answers in the weekend and we've got our first member with a full list of the differences!
Congrats, Gaffey!

It's time for a new hint. There are at least 26 differences Keep looking
I'll give you another one. Stray Dog has a black spot in his left ear in the third image.

Looks like all those "Spot the difference" puzzles in the Scholastic magazines paid off. I used to play those whenever I had a doctor/dentist appointment as a child.

Thanks for putting this challenge together.

The second member with a full list of differences is...
Warren! Congrats
The contest will end in a few hours but there's still time to submit an answer
Time for the last hint. There are less than 30 differences

Time's over!

The differences were:

FIRST IMAGE
Komori Ninja is missing
Bird on the kite is flipped
The title of the poster is missing from the top right corner
Sasuke's chonmage is missing
Usagi's mon are missing
Stray Dog's left eye spot is missing
Mariko's kimono is color peach, lighter than the others
Stone missing below Jotaro's right foot
Tomoe's hair bow is missing
Katsuichi's hair band is missing

SECOND IMAGE
Usagi's scar is missing
The string of the kite is missing

Jotaro's nose is missing
SAKAI signature is reversed in the bottom right corner
Tomoe is blushing
Katsuichi's gourd has one spot less*
Lord Noriyuki has an extra mon
Thrown shuriken is missing
Ishida's eyes are open

THIRD IMAGE
Gen's finger on his right hand is straight
A leaf vein pattern is missing from Kitsune's sleeve
The tokage has extra spots on its leg
Leaf missing from Mariko's kimono
There are five circles instead of three in one of the designs of Stray Dog's kimono
Katsuichi's gourd has one more spot*
Additional rocks below Usagi's right foot
Ishida's jitte is missing
Stray Dog has a black spot on his left ear

*Using the first image as reference. If you use the second or the third, the outcome won't change, there will be two differences comparing with the other images

There were only two full sets with the 29 differences:

1. Gaffey
2. Warren

So let's ask our objective, unbiased and neutral dear friend to choose the winner for us... The winner is... Number 1!!
Congrats, Gaffey! Those magazines indeed paid off this time

Thank you all for the comments. I enjoyed a lot doing this challenge

Thanks. I'll get a challenge up tonight when I have some time. Of course it will be a "find me" type, but I'll make it easier than normal.

I may have an extra sticker or postcard to give away from Dantes Verlag.
