A place to share / discuss / fangirl over the figure ice skating anime Yuri!!! on Ice
How did ep 11 make you feel?
Apart from the fact that it's the second to last! episode boohoo ...
What happened here, ladies and gents?
First of all, they changed the intro. Subtly, but noticeably.
I saw Yuuri performing Eros beautifully, but apparently not beautful enough to play in the top rankings. Even after he upped his performance adding the quadrupIe flip. (excuse me but i need to just throw in the screenshot because - cute!!!)
I saw my sweet Katsudon cry in utter devastation about the flaw that cost him important points.
Phichit, so full of joy and bubbling with energy and excitement. Wow, this boy is so asdfghjkl!
Next year he’s gonna get an even higher score. And he skated to “Shall we skate” in front of a really big audience. So good, my boy, so good!
Yuri. My salty-sweet Russian punk-fairy. Wow … that was … I’m lacking the words to describe it. He finally figured out his Agape, and his performance made me feel …things!
And his score - holy cow! He beat Viktor’s record? Wow, just … WOW!
Chris … Ok, let’s take am moment to talk about Chris, who I found absolutely annoying before - but somehow the ep11 made me change my mind about him quite a bit. First thing I noticed - he didn’t come this time around. Wow, what a relief hahaha. But … idk … he looks kinda cute with glasses lol. And while I still find him slightly annoying, he’s much more tolerable now. Maybe even likable? I’m still trying to decide …
Otabek. Yeah. I love this boy.
And wow, you could see how proud of his friend my precious son Yuri was.
So smug hahaha. However, Otabek was great. I was looking forward to seeing him perform and he did not disappoint in the least. I loved his costume, I love his serious, earnest attitude. And 2nd after Yuri - not bad, Mr Altin. Not bad at all.
JJ, for the first time, showed nerves. It made him more human, I guess. I still don’t like him a lot lol. Can’t help it, I’m sorry.
Yeah, ok, so much for the performances. Now - what’s with this tension I feel between Yuuri and Viktor after Yuuri’s short program?
Before, everything seemed fine. They even kissed their rings asdfjk! I melted into a puddle of goo on the floor!!!
Afterwards tho …
Idk … was it only me or did Viktor seen kinda distant? Unobservant? The way he watched Yuri’s performance ignoring (and even abandoning) Yuuri. It's probably his way of grieving. Giving up everything that has once been your life cannot be easy. I don't think he regrets it tho. The moment still is bittersweet.
I’m afraid the little Katsudon will take this as a sign that Viktor regrets his decision to stay and coach him instead of Yuri.
This might be the reason for the “Let’s end this” in the preview for 12. He thinks he’s not good enough and doesn’t want to hold Viktor back.
But seriously, Vitya, you really need to learn how to comfort your boy. He cried on the ice after his little flaw and you did nothing? Why?!
Get your head out of your ass, boy! You can do better than that! You love the man? You gotta show him how you feel!



































I was kind of expecting Yuri's reaction. He had said to himself, more than once, that he would "free" Victor after the GP Final... But, I was not expecting it to be now.
Also, I didn't expect Yuri to sound so calm and so heartbroken at the same time. Poor kid 😭
As I watched Viktor throughout the episode, I expected Yuuri to do just that. This Viktor is one who was happy and had fallen back in love skating again. The Viktor at the beginning of the series, had a serious case of "dead behind the eyes", the Viktor by the GP final was full of vigour and life again.
My brother said to me he thinks that Yuuri is letting Viktor go because he doesn't need him anymore, but Yurio will need him. Whether it be as a competitor on his level or as a coach.
