While the tweet mentions that the episodes will be delayed because of a special organization or programming, it has not specified what the special programming is. According to Crunchyroll, the upcoming programming for the Winter Olympics could very well be the reasoning behind the 10-minute delay for episode 84 on March 6. NHK, which airs Attack on Titan, is also the Japanese broadcaster for the Winter Olympics.
