Aaaaaaaaa, Desast's walk. It's both in a way my favorite storytelling from Saber and... kinda the most unforgivable? Because I really do think following along with Desast's twitter adventures improves the Saber experience by leaps and bounds with it's interesting insight into it's corner of the world and my favorite wolf beetle skull monster man, but... how are you supposed to do that if you weren't watching the show in real time?

It's the same problem of the Swordsman Chronicles providing great characterization in missable side content... but worse since at least those were, yknow, actual webisodes you can just add to your watch order. Twitter is like, the most ephemeral way this side of the story could have been communicated, without someone already in the know helping share the tweets at the appropriate points anyone watching the show after the fact would likely not even know Desast's Walk existed.

So, like, lucky you're doing this thread and have people ready to post his tweets when relevant

Oh, and on the subject of translations: here's a twitter thread with translations for every tweet (that aren't just google translate.) Obviously Die shouldn't visit that link yet, since it continues through further show events, but for reference for everyone else. And here's the translation of that first tweet from that thread:

"Hello, humans.
I'm Desast. I'm a demon born from a book. Pretty cool, huh?

Well, it looks like the Wind Swordsman is going to take some time, so I guess I'll just wander around the world at my leisure.

If you want to come along, be my guest."

(incidentally, when you were enamored early on with the idea of desast just chilling on earth and interacting with humans- i guess saber's twitter was enamored with it too?? if i had a nickel for every time you predicted a piece of saber side content...)
