Placeholder Graphics#

Banner#

File Name: Gacha_Banner_Dummy_Kr

Lesson Tutorial Screen#

File Name: Information_Dummy_01

A placeholder tutorial screen for Lessons. Only a Korean language version is present.

Pyroxene Shop Art#

File Name: Img_Shop_Gem_1_Dummy

Event Icon#

File Name: Img_Shop_Gem_1_Dummy

The Event Collection icon for the Summer Sky's Wishlist event, with the text "60000 Dummy" superimposed on it. The ID 60000 is used for the Balancing Schale's Books with the General Student Council mini-event, though that does not have an Event Collection. This graphic was likely a placeholder for that mini-event's icon.

Gift Icon#

File Name: Item_Icon_Favor_Dummy

A placeholder gift icon.

Unused Graphics#

Hidden Watermark#

In the portrait graphics for Azusa (Swimsuit) is a watermark for pngtree, a website that provides stock images, at least one of which was presumably used to create Azusa (Swimsuit)'s portrait.

Millennium Student#

Eyes#

Normal	No Glasses

The spectacled Millennium student, who most notably appears as an antagonist in the On Your Mark ＠ Millennium event story, is unique for being one of the only mob students whose in-game portrait features visible eyes, though they are mostly obscured behind her glasses. These glasses, however, are a separate layer of her sprite, revealing her fully-drawn eyes if manually hidden. At no point in the game does she not wear her glasses.

Unused Dialogue#

Sora#

Two lines of dialogue that Sora would have said when you exit the Shop. Sora doesn't say anything when this happens in the game, likely to make exiting the shop less tedious.

Revisional Differences#

Version 1.63.277251#

Released April 30, 2024.²

Kotama Gacha Dialogue#

Kotama's recruitment dialogue was rerecorded to give the correct name of her school, "Millennium Science School", as opposed to "Millennium Academy" (JP: "Mireniamu Gakuen").

Nagusa Portrait#

Old	New

Nagusa was given an entirely new portrait with additional expressions to accommodate her increased presence in the story. It may also have been edited to make her depicted height more reasonable as - using her real-world Type 38 Arisaka rifle as a point of reference, and compared to her new portrait - her old portrait makes her seem unusually tall.^{3 4}

Version 1.63.286079#

Monster MAX#

The English name of Hare's favorite energy drink was silently changed from "Monster MAX" to "Frenzy MAX", and the beverage itself was given a new logo, most likely to avoid any legal squabbles with the highly litigious Monster Beverage Company. The English name was a direct translation of the Japanese name "Yōkai MAX". It was likely changed in English due to sharing a brand name and having a logo clearly and plainly derived from the real-world beverage, also being comprised of three vertical claw marks.

The new appearance for the in-game beverage removes the three claw marks and vertically centers the "MAX" label. The revised appearance could be seen on the in-game Notice page during the New Year March event.

Before	After

However, the old logo was not removed from Hare's loading screen ("Grievances of a Hacker"), which features several Monster MAX cans:

Additionally, Hare (Camp), a character added in this same update, still holds a Monster MAX can with the old logo in both her dangle animation and battle start animation:
