来週のバルトの秘密の部屋から一箇所だけさらにマイナーチェンジがあります(分かる人がいたら凄い…)— 䂖谷牛乳 (@ishigyunyu) October 1, 2023

“Actually, the opening has undergone minor changes since episode 1077 aired last week… I’m glad some people noticed. In fact, there are about 20 changes, such as color, processing, timing, etc. There’s one more small change in Barto’s Secret Room next week (it would be amazing if someone noticed…)”
