In YoI it's really heavily implied that they love each other, but they are not actually a couple, so pretty much like in Izetta. But there will be a second season for YoI, that wasn't the end.

Also, the little russian boy is there to potentially turn it into a romantic triangle.

If Victor is returning to competition, he'll have to wait until next season. So they're just going to skip out on the rest of this season? Even though Yuri said his goal was to win gold?

Just dropping in to say the following things.
I skimmed everyone's programs on quadruple speed except Yuuri and Yurio's.
The ending was okay, liked the pair skating, blueballed at the kiss teasing.

There should have been a kiss, but it was still homo as fuck and Yuuri Is now living in Russia with Viktor. Baldfat development was fine, what isn't fine is Viktor returning to skating. Maybe they will pull it off, but right now I'm salty.

Finally watched it with subs and I get it.

Yuuri is a fan of Victor's first and foremost. His love for Victor is fan-love. He wants to see his idol skate again so he tries his best to become Victor in order to inspire him and it works. Victor fell in love with Yuri along the way and is not only inspired by Yuuri to skate again, but inspired by Yurio as well. Both of them beat his record and he's still competitive, but because he loves Yuri, he wants to still see him skate as well.

Yuri made a mistake and was the playboy that stole the maiden from the world, but realized he had to give her back to the world as well. He was okay with being hated for taking Victor away, as long as no one hated Victor. He knew what he had to do. Now he just needs to skate for himself and not Victor anymore. I like this. All three can compete together. I got my wish for them to be rivals with each other, this will be a fun second season.

Oh and that kiss shit you all were going on about was about kissing the gold medal. Here I thought you meant kissing Yuri. Fuck YOU guys.
>>
>>151237208

I like him but he didn't deserve 3rd place.
>>
>>151237447
I never said it wasn't gay. It's very obviously gay. It's just that they're not a couple.

>>
>>151237639
I agree, it doesn't feel very satisfactory because Yurio is so green? To win gold in his first year in the senior devision is such bullshit when most people don't even make podium. He still has so much growing to do, that to have him reach his goal already makes it feel like his character potential was thrown out the window.
>>
>>151237583
Yeah and it's so off it makes it look like there are no stakes in this competition. Some people say Yurio should have had such a high score in ep11 regardless of his arms being raised while jumping but I don't remember all the details.
>>
>>151237697
What's even worse is that I can't tell if it's all just for Piggy's sake or not. At the kiss and cry when he smiles after seeing Yuuri so happy he looks the same as he did when he had the fight with Yurio. Fake sad smile that hides his emotions.

Not to mention he's 28 years old which is practically 70 years in skating age. An injury is guaranteed in second season.
>>
>>151237697
Having Victor return to skating is the worst kind of fanservice, and a blatantly 11th hour re-write so they could have a plot for a second season. All the character development about "life and love" and how he was being suffocated by the competition just got thrown out the window.

I thought I'd be most mad about no kiss, but on the scale of things I feel bad about in this finale, it's
>Victor returning to skating
>The final GPF podium barely mattering (Fairy in 1st, JJ in 3rd, medal-less Otabek)
>No kiss
>>
>>151237816
Yeah, it's too much for him to both beat a world record and win gold at his first GP ever. I get that he worked hard but it's a bit bullshit, especially as he tripped - if he would have lost by the 0.25 points to Yuuri it'd have made more sense.

I feel confused and conflicted. It's not good.
>>
>>151237879
I would actually like it if Viktor only did it out of his love for Piggy and forced himself through it, but only if it got addressed properly in the second season with Piggy showing some remorse.
>>
Lambiel showed up to record recently, wasn't it? they definitely rewrote for S2.
>>
>>151237936
Hit the nail on the head, though I'm madder about the kiss than the podium.

If they really deliver in S2, I will retroactively take back hating on them. But that's the only way they can redeem themselves after this.
>>
>>151237773
Not sitting on his lap. Look at this skate guards. His feet are right next to each other.
>>
>>151237724
I can't think of any way they could fit more sexual tension into that moment, or a more erotic way of wording it
>>
>>151237936
>>151237879
I really don't want Viktor skating again. It's awful

Also where the fuck is otabek's medal what

>>151237987
He recorded 2 days ago. SEVERE rewrite.
>>
>>151237840
The other scores are harder to really judge since you don't see the full routine. There's a level of built-in handwaving. JJ's is completely wrong though. It's entirely possible to skate yourself out of contention in the short program, and that's what he did. He should have finished last.
>>
>>151237985

That's what got us into this mess in the first place

It was so gorgeous and lewd at the same time. They brushed lips/stolen kisses at least twice during those spins.

I'm not sure why you think having someone record a few lines that have nothing to do with the plot in a production format notorious for last-second work is an indication of a rewrite.

It feels like Yurio got plot armour for some reason, or like they were going to end it with Yuuri winning but decided to put if off for that S2. It just feels very clumsy. I don't see why Yurio had to win gold narratively either, since being very close second could have given Yuuri the clear message of "If you stop swimming, I'll pass you" just fine.

Now I wonder if he got the plot armour because in the eventual second season Yurio will actually start growing up really fast and he really won't perform as well. It could be interesting to finamly adress that.
>>
>>151238183
Season 1 ending with Yuri getting gold and them both retiring wouldn't have left a s2 open, but the ending is very clumsy and does't fit in well with the rest of the season.
>>
>>151238012
I'm not happy about the continued ambiguity, but it is what it is. At least it wasn't full on no homo.

>>151238149
>>151237879
Seung-Gil mentioned the Four Continents, which European countries don't compete in. So if there's an OVA or part of S2 is about Four Continents, then there could be one more competition where Victor is Yuri's coach and not also his competition.

>>
>>151238280

No one can't convince me they didn't fuck that night. Yuuri pretty much spelled out with that reaction that he was surrendering to Viktor.
>>
>>151238335
It should have ended like that, it should have. Fuck.
>>
>>151238183
It's not plot armor. There's no rule that the protagonist has to win in a sports story, and retirement was set up as the ultimate decision from the very beginning. If anything it would have been more surprising if Yuuri had won since it would make all the talk about retiring pointless.
>>
>I won't kiss you again until gold
>that will take months, possibly years
Maybe we got it all wrong. Maybe Victor enjoys the blue balls. Maybe he is a masochist.
>>
>>151238183
Yeah, Yurio's character development so far and everything else would have worked better with him winning silver, just barely missing gold. I guess they tried to pave the way for season 2 with "will Yuuri win gold this time against both Yurio and Viktor" or whatever but it's just such bullshit. It feels like hack writing. Somehow Yurio winning doesn't feel like a conclusion or a victory, even though he worked so hard - it feels like a hack writing solution, like an accident, like a disappointment, and that's a waste of both Yurio's and Yuuri's character dev arcs. It wasn't earned. I'm sure they could have managed to build tension for season 2 in different ways, but Yurio winning gold and Viktor returning feels like such a shit way to do it.

After all this buildup, it feels like a let down
Also where is my onscreen kiss goddamnit

It makes sense for Yuri to live with Victor when Makkachin comes running along side him. They're obviously on their way to training and Yuri was late.

As weird as it sounds to say it I feel like FairyPig became more canon than Baldfat. Fairy became Yuuri's new Victor when he saw him skate that FS, and Fairy did it all to stop Piggy from retiring. Most touching part of the whole episode.

>>151238683
I would, but I'm not American, so I'm making a desperate plea to someone else
>>
>>151238283
Yeah, it would be! But I wish it wasn't at the cost of butchering the ending of S1.

>>151238299
I think Yuuri could have gotten gold and still continued to compete with Viktor (they could have explained his continuing through Yurio's passion spurring him on + his desire to skate on the same ice as Viktor). But him losing by a few points because he sort of screwed Eros is unsatisfactory. It realistically could happen, but in terms of story-telling, it's empty.

>>151238399
I expected Yuuri to win after he did that last skate. Like the announcer said, it was the culmination of his career as a skating. I feel like he earned the right to retire, and if he wanted to continue, it would be because of a personal decision or due to a love of the ice. This felt like some act of god descended upon them and is forcing him to skate.
>>
>>151238700
I definitely felt more strongly about their connection than Baldfat this episode.

It's pretty obvious Yuuri's problems aren't that he actually wants to retire. It's all about psyching himself into thinking he needs to retire because he's never gonna get better, that he's not good enough for gold. It's like Victor said, when was he going to stop half-assing it already? And then watching Yurio's FS finally lit that needed fire inside him.

Yuri's true self loves to skate and doesn't want to retire, it's his self-doubt that keeps holding him back. "I'm a dime-a-dozen skater."
>>
>>151238909
It was really obvious though.

But I'm still salty about baldfat total fucking lack of developments. They didn't even resolve their argument. It was just "Yeah totally the dynamic will stay exactly the same I wonder if you'll win next year!!!!1 !!"

One kiss, a proper good kiss, was it really too much? One "I love you"? Really?

After all the increasing tension of the previous episodes, it feels like such a goddamn cop-out
>>
How can Viktor compete when he's Yuuri's coach? If it's not him, then who is Yuuri's coach now???

That doesn't make sense. Yuuri wanted Viktor to keep coaching him, didn't he?
>>
>>151239145
>can't put it in Yuuri's butt when the season's ongoing
>>
>>151238121
Yuri clearly stated that he doesn't consider those engagement rings, so it's still ambiguous.
It's completely retarded in my opinion to do something supposedly as unambiguous as making 2 characters exchange engagement rings and somehow find a way to keep it ambiguous nonetheless, but they did it.
>>
>>151239070
New character I bet. He'll also get in between baldfat to keep the relationship interesting and start more ship wars between fujos to increase sales.
>>
>>151239170
Yeah. It makes no sense, but here we are.
>>
>>151239170
No he says in this episode he wants to give Victor back to skating because if he coaches Yuri, Yuri will feel guilty about slowly killing his career.
>>
>>151239036
This. They clearly didn't have him constantly ruminating on age and retirement just so he could actually do it.
>>
I wish they let us see the original ending too. Maybe as a second 12th episode?? Obviously so many things were cut and changed in the last minute. Ahh Kubo, I hope you can pull the timing off this time.
>>
>>151239100
>>
the resolution made no sense, this is disappointing.
hell, even the pair skating felt like "hey they want pair skating, lets just throw this animation here without any reason behind it"
>>
>>151239170
It would be impossible for Viktor to have the time to practice all of Yuuri's routines with Yuuri, choreograph all 6 of the MC's programs, and have time to focus on his own skating. If MAPPA actually has him doing that successfully it will make Viktor hands down the worst written character in the series.

Not to mention it's not even allowed.

I have more to add to the most erotic scene of the show so far. I doubled checked, and Yuuri's pupils start out small, then dilate when Viktor does his breathy fucking dokidoki line. This is basically "I am trying to arouse you"/"I am very aroused", the scene. Someone should add on a spring sound effect. It would be entirely appropriate.

I also did, but I was expecting more to it.

I'm pretty sure Victor isn't going to skate and coach. The return was only with the idea that Yuri was set on retiring. Since that isn't happening, Victor isn't going to return just yet. Aside from the fact he doesn't actually want to regardless.

>>151238299
Having Yuuri win and retire with Victor wouldn't rule out season 2. S2 could have been from Yurio's perspective, as he tries to get gold next season. Yuuri and Victor could still be there as support. They simply had Yuuri and Victor continue so they could have all 3 MCs compete. It's bullshit.

He's always spent all his programs thinking about Victor, impressing Victor, etc so in that sense it's no different. But combined with him wanting Victor to return to competition, it does feel like he's regressed to the fanboy dynamic he had at the start. If they'd spent time on Victor showing Yuuri his love for the sport, it would feel like a natural way of Yuuri demonstrating his love for Victor, but that wasn't the case.

It really is the worst writing choice they've made so far, but I guess that's just their plan for season 2. At least competitive Victor is hot as fuck and I won't hate seeing him dominate, I do love his legend status.

Perhaps. It is time-consuming, but I imagine that the reason he didn't have a meaningful relationship until Yuuri was that the biggest obstacle was actually establishing it. Now he has one, with a fellow skater to boot. It could be possible. Or maybe the next season's drama will be about finding out that it isn't possible and Yuuri/Viktor wanting to kill themselves.

They are good luck charms but he still bought wedding rings, retard. When he could have bought two watches or something platonic. He doesn't need them anymore after the competition and still keeps them, after Victor says what they were.

You still don't get that Yuuri thought Victor was going to leave him after the competition even if Victor tell him he wants Yuuri to skate forever. He was convinced of this, he wants to be by Victor's side, but at the same time he never had hope. He was surprised that Victor was hurt and angry. Yuuri and Victor still have a long way to go, but both parties do have feelings for each other. They are just painfully autistic, specially Yuuri.

Victor with probably try to train during his free time when he's not training Yuuri. This will come to a head when their personal relationship gets strained and Victor finally has to ACTUALLY make the choice to retire because he can't do both. He finally tells Yuuri about his two Ls and everything.

Does he have to choreo Fairy too? I thought just him and Piggy's.

Kubo mentioned that Piggy is already a complete skater so as coach Victor exists primarily as mental/emotional support, I guess if he really is allowed to coach and compete at the same time the workload won't be too bad.

I feel like this is one of those shows that is far better watched back to back. The weekly episode breaks caused too much memeing and speculah that ruined it.

It also has far more homosexuality. More sexuality in general really. They are adults, after all.

>>151240201
What's the problem. Victor said after the "it's a good luck charm"scene that those were engagement rings and they're going to get married to each other. Yuuri was really embarrassed but didn't say or imply that Victor was wrong about it. After the misunderstanding at the beginning of ep11 is solved it makes more sense, since Yuuri stays with Victor and doens't leave him as planned.

Viktor coming back basically ruins his character development to me. It makes no sense, is pure fanservice as it already has been said in this thread.
>>
>>151240443
yuuri is mentally abusing victor.
>>
>>151240407
I know it's his opinion, hence calling him an idiot and saying it's because he doesn't want Yuuri to seem gay, but apparently the series hasn't been clear enough about how homo it is if even those intimately involved in the process can contradict the idea.
>>
See y'all next season, fags.
>>
>>151240470
Leave Georgi alone.
>>
>>151239406
I think he implied he will both coach Yuuri and compete.
>>
>>151240510
They could make it work in S2 but right now I'm not on board.
>>
I feel that Victor is the superior skater even if Yuuri and Yurio beat his records, they couldn't beat his complete scores. Yuuri has the advantage of stamina now and Yurio of flexibility because of his youth, but that's bound to change as they reach his present age. They also lack the creativity that Victor has: they never choreographed their own work and relied on Victor or others.
>>
>>151240196
You're assuming a lot of things just based on me pointing out Yuri called the rings "good luck charms".

A wedding ring is just a ring. It becomes a wedding or engagement ring when they both say so.

>They are just painfully autistic, specially Yuuri.
True.

>>151240395
>Yuuri was really embarrassed
Yes he was. Now you're assuming he is ok with the engagement thing just because he didn't outright contradict Victor.
>>
>>151240438
What are they saying
>>
>>151240492
>Chris fucks up for no reason, will probably never get gold ever
This is the saddest part. It should have been him not JJ at least. Why of all of them, JJ.
>>
>>151240492
Yurio hinted his body will change so it was now or ever for him, because he'll lose his major advantage: flexibility.
>>
>>151240438
>just according to keikaku

>>
>>151240510
Victor going back to skating was such bullshit, more so than being blue balled.
>>
>>151240580
Who cares? If someone wants to believe they are engaged they can- the show and cast won't contradict them.
>>
>tfw the scores arent

Yuuri
Yurio
Otabek
Chris
Phichit
JJ
>>
>>151240642
This is what is should have been, honestly. At first I thought Otabek got 3rd. I like JJ and all, but him being on the podium makes no sense.
>>
>>151240580
Yuuri is always embarrassed or nervous for a lot of things so it's not like it means much if he acts like that when Victor says they're engaged. What I mean is that him being embarrassed doesn't automatically means he disagrees. How many times did Yuuri barely avoid a heart attack in the whole anime again?
>>
>>151240486
Would've made for better sales if they did.
>>
>>151240492
I wouldn't be so mad about JJ if it was realistic for him to win like if everyone fell because that shit happens in real life but he FUCKED UP SO MUCH that he literally became the Patrick Chan of YOI. It's disgusting and unfair.
>>
>>151240510
This is true.

Viktor was so clearly built up to leave skating behind, to quit at his moment of greatest glory and finally be free to pursue his heart's desire.
Having him possibly return to competitive skating while pushing fucking 30 is such a hack solution. It's bad. Bad for him, bad for everyone. It would have been so nice for him to openly declare he's quitting. who the fuck wanted this ending?

>A wedding ring is just a ring. It becomes a wedding or engagement ring when they both say so.
A wedding ring is a wedding ring because is written on the receipt of the store. This is a fact and you can't change that. He bought wedding rings as fact.

Anyway, they are autistic and fail at communication, because both think they are doing shit that will make the other one happy, they are BOTH being self-sacrificial without understanding what they want. But at least Victor did try to say so once, so I give him more of a leeway. So I don't expect them to resolve their shit until season 5 ending when Yuuri finally gets gold.

Not only is it bad it's literally worse than how it was before. Now he has to juggle between being a coach, choreographer and skater himself. It won't surprise me at all if his character arc in season 2 is about being too stressed out and lashing out on Piggy or making him feel neglected

Moon translators on this thread say that is what nip fujos wanted. I'm curious if that's only on twitter or in other places they are as assblasted about it as us. It's hard to believe for me that most of the nip audience is totally fine with this, is a hack solution as you said.

I didn't expect them to get married this season, that would feel rushed. But I kinda expected Yuri getting taught by his idol irl would've pushed him farther. Spoiled 16 year old shota taking the medal? Whatever....

My dream one would have been

>Otabek - Dark horse winning, could inspire Yurio to do better
>Yuuri - Same, he was obviously not going to get gold but win something
>Chris - He deserves better dammit.
>Yurio - He is too green to win so quickly. But being close to wining and beating Viktor in something should have been enough.
>Pichit - He is too pure and would be still happy if he lost.
>JJ - He needed a reality check, he needs to work on his finals nervousness.

Fuck. I could have forgiven the placements if there had been a wedding scene.
>>
>>151240560
I want to see what Victor can pull out of the hat now that he is presumably inspired again, while at the same time considering his aging body. He may not have the energy of youth anymore but seasoned artists are great to watch.

But my secret is wish Victor going back mostly because it made his pig happy, pig finding out, and then them finally giving serious thought to their fucking homo yet unspoken relationship, leading to real romance and Victor retiring for good after just one season but not before breaking both WRs again and cucking everybody one last time.

I think what the VA said makes sense and is in line with Yuuri's character. You have to admit Yuuri is seriously clueless and retarded when it comes to social interactions.

And I'm not arguing about them not being gay, just about them not being engaged. Before someone accuses me of being the evil hetfag.

>>151240636
Yes they can, but then it's better to recognise that it's your own interpretation than to defend it despiste evidences.

>>151240769
>A wedding ring is a wedding ring because is written on the receipt of the store
Wedding rings are essentially two matching rings. You normally buy matching rings as wedding or engagement rings, so it makes sense that it's what is written on the receipt. It's still just rings.

And finally, none of these two characters is realistic, nobody in their right mind would buy matching rings and call it a good luck charm. But Yuri is a cartoon characters and he did it.

Fairy didn't have to win gold to inspire Piggy to return. It would have felt better if just watching his FS was enough to inspire him but now Victor and Yuuri got this weird pressure about winning the medal.

That doesn't matter as much since doing away with the old score ceilings. His routine could simply have been less difficult.

It's narratively bullshit that he got both gold and broke a world record despite never having a properly humilitating character growth moment

Honestly I would have respected them so much if they would have had the balls to bring s1 to a satisfying ending and just applied some imagination to make the setting in s2 interesting anyway. But this just feels like dreadful hack writing; "we didn't give you closure or satisfaction, so you're gonna watch and spend money on the s2, right?"
>>
>>151241155
To be fair MAPPA wanted this themselves, even saying they would heavily consider an S2 if he was successful. And it was. So they were going to do it anyway.

A lot of these threads (before this episode) and outside of it mostly wanted an S2 too.

I've partially read it. The themes and messages of that and this are totally different though. Can you really say that Yuuri's losing and Yurio's winning was meaningful or that it added to their character development in any way or that it tied up the series?

Nice, I see we had similar need to split everything up into random folders. I've done the same for the solo folders and other pairings but Baldfat needs the most for some semblence of organization.
>>
>>151241442
But we wanted a season 2 with a decent ending for this one, baldfat solved and maybe something focused on fairy since this one has focused on nip Yuri. Not some cheap "uhhh let's leave everything for season 2 so we'll make more fujobuckets!!"

I think they changed the ending and spent a lot of money to do it actually.

>>151241452

>>
>>151241379
You're not wrong. But Yurio winning wasn't satisfying at all. Yurio in general, actually, since he goes from one of the main characters to some secondary character who varely appear to one of the competitors except the story tries to make him look important even though he stopped being interesting. His shitty mood swings between some of the episodes just to have more shitty drama were annoying too. Even JJ would have been better off as the winner. Yurio just feels out of place in an anime where he's one of the main characters after all.
>>
>>151241506
As other anons said, Yurio wanted to go all out because he'll lose flexibility soon. Without it, he's not going to be as good as before.

The problem Yurio and Yuuri have is that they rely on one strong trait they can lose at any time. While Victor is an all rounder.

This was literally your headcanon from the start

>>
>>151241506
Winning one tournament that isn't even the world championships or olympics is hardly a career capstone.
>>151241577
I agree that it's not satisfying, but that doesn't make it bad. If no story about competition is ever allowed to have the protagonist lose, there's no tension and no way to have other feelings or lessons about the results. In this case it just confirmed what more people here should have recognized all along: that the real goal of the story from the very first episode was for Yuuri to finally decide what he was going to do with himself beyond this single symbolic gesture. If he won it would be even harder to pull off because then he'd feel like his mission was complete.

Kek. Fujos in a nutshell.
>>
>>151241683
They spent a lot of money on changing that ending if they did last minute. Its something that would really take 100 animators.
>>
>>151241683
I really don't think Yuri was ever meant to retire. That would have fed too much into his insecurities of thinking he's a shitty skater. He was never going to.

This weird possibility of Victor coming back is the only thing I'm confused about.

What is with retards calling regular inferrences 'headcanons'? If a story tells us one thing and it turns out to be another, it's not a headcanon to believe it. It's just the writing being unpredictable, red herrings and plot twists are a thing.
>>
>>151241452

The way Yuuri behaved towards Viktor crying and how Viktor decided to return to skate was revolting.
>>
>>151241577
I think that what was really missing to make his win better for some people was a scene with a heart to heart conversation with Victor since he was part of the reason for his shitty bratty behaviour and an apology from Fairy to Victor and Piggy would have been nice too.
>>
>>151240690
It doesn't just go against everything they established for him, it's also basically spitting in the face of what could've been a really beautiful moment with Victor finally feeling like he can let go of competitive skating. It defies the logic of his actual situation, it defies all the groundwork they laid for him, and it completely throws all of the show's authenticity in the toilet.

Split cours =/= making room for S2

When you have split cours, the studio has planned two parts from the beginning, regardless of sales. Teasing a S2 like YOI did is not the same. Kubo said she always wanted to possibility of a second season, even when he show first started. I think this was the planned ending all along.
>>
>>151241866
Yurio was his favorite, of course he'll like it.
>>
>>151241813
Personally I think Otabek winning would have been the better outcome. He doesn't figure into the rivalry at all, so nobody appears to win that, and Yuuri still gets the motivating factor of not winning.

The pair skate felt so thrown in last minute.

Ok, actually a headcannon; I didn't really hope he'd win gold personally. I was expecting fairy or Chris.

Gee, it's not like we had an episode from his pov talking about how he'd been neglecting his personal life for nearly 20 years and a flasback on the next one talking about how he was tired from skating since it didn't fill him the way it used to anymore, right?
>>
>>151241966
The people in this thread had expectations so far from reality not even a telescope on Tumblr could find them.
>>
>>151241916
People saw pair skating coming a mile away though. And there's always a gala after the performances (but tbf I didn't think they would show it until the OST leak).
>>
>>151241970
That was so out of character but then again what wasn't in this episode. Chris always got silver when Victor was around and he suddenly gets jealous of his two friends, what? They literally just did that so he could lose.
>>
>>151241987
a solid 8.5. i'm excited to see where it goes next.
>>
>>151241970
He's both things. He's a chill person off the ice as their friend but as a competitor, he's angry with Yuuri stealing Victor's attention.

People can be complex, amazingly. Yuuri acts like autistic off the ice and on it he's suddenly a Zen Master.
>>
>>151241979
He didn't want to try skating, he's doing it because Yuuri threatened him with "If you'll retire, I'll retire".
>>
>>151241886
If Victor monologues about his trouble with competitive skating and his enjoyment of his current lifestyle, we can infer that he doesn't want to return based on what the story is telling us. It's not a headcanon just because it's not the eventual plot progression, it's speculation if anything.

M8, when he skates Chris is always jealous of Yuuri and Victor. It's because Victor is his idol and Yuuri stole him from him.

He's still a great friend when they aren't competing, those aren't mutually exclusive.

Yeah. It's such a goddamn waste. The story was setting up really nicely for this cathartic moment of transitioning from one part of your life to the next; one character winning gold, and at the same time another character letting go of that phase of their life when they were the undisputed champion and moving on to whatever it is that comes after the glory, the interesting but unknown personal time and liberty out of the spotlight.

But noooo, the only thing that matters is the competition rink. I really wonder if they rewrote the ending, it feels like a total heel turn from what the show was building up towards.

They ruined the resolution JJ's character had in episode 11, which was perfectly set up and executed and only needed to be fucking left alone.

They basically gave the middle finger to everything that had been previously established about Victor's circumstances.

Yuuri evidently gives more of a shit about losing a bag of nuts than he does about the guy he "loves" crying in front of him.

Chris turned into a different person.

The pair skating was impersonal as fuck and didn't flow with the rest of the episode in the slightest.

It's especially disappointing when this was the perfect opportunity to make it clear that Victor doesn't have to be competing in order to be close to the sport.

I was one of those who were skeptical that we will have anything like a straightforward love confession, but I still enjoyed the finale.

/yoi/ wasn't a mistake, chin up faggots.

>>151241876
This. I feel like people defending the finale are just trying to hold on to the general positivity we had about the show for 11 solid episodes. I understand it to some extent, because I really did want to love this more than anything, but nothing excuses what we got today. Nothing.

No, you need to rewatch episodes 6-7, Chris shows his jealousy on ice. Because he takes his grievance as a sportsman, not as a friend.
>>
>>151242460
I don't know about anyone else, but I'm sure Yuri was not intended to look like an autistic asshole. He did anyway though.

>>151242470
Even by anime standards, it's pretty bizarre. Hated the way the scene cuts itself off from there too.
>>
yo wheres the soundtrack, is it up anywhere?
>>
>>151242401
I have a feeling that to them, knowing their culture, something like that pair skate is an unambiguous love confession. And it kinda is (as an acknowledgement of their love at least), but Western fans don't see it this way.

Fujos latched onto bait because a lot of actual BL is bad, but they like canon too, like how YoI's popularity exploded after ep7. Don't be fooled.

The finale? 2/10.

I can't judge all 12 as a complete piece because the finale had nothing to do with the other 11.
>>
>>151242470
I thought he couldn't believe what he was seeing, it's the first time Victor cried on screen and in front of him after all. And Victor smiles almost all the time, even to hide that he feels like shit. He must have panicked somehow.

Yes, he had. He even seemed happy that Victor found someone to hold on to.

Anyone trying to defend that scene needs to go back and rewatch every other time Chris performed, because what we saw today was not Chris.

No but really. What the fucking shit.

If they consider this to be a normal male reaction to the love of your life breaking down in tears because you just told them you want to selfishly break apart the relationship you've been having it's no fucking wonder Japan's birth rate is on the decline, for real. It's almost inhuman how cold he is

Why bother wasting resources to give him a voiced line if he was going to be literally nothing though? The scene could have been spent on something that actually mattered instead.
>>
>>151241864
I just wanted an emotional scene of Victor letting go and moving on from competitive skating. I'm so upset.
>>
>>151242488

I hope you realise him winning this season will demote him of importance next season. Unless Kubo makes him even more of a little shit and Yuuri's and Viktor's rival.

Otabek should have killed him when he had the chance.
>>
>>151242648
He was surprised because he had it in his stupid head so long Victor wanted this. It isn't out of character for Yuuri to be autistic and not know how to react
>>
>>151242421
Wtf, He was clearly shocked. And There wasn't much time to actually comfort him because Viktor got a hold of himself and started being mad instead.
>>
>>151242667
If victor is indeed coaching both yuris next season, it will likely actually make fairy more prominent, and on better terms with piggy compared to this season since the finale established a mutual respect between them. It'll just mean fairy doesn't have anything to prove anymore since he's already won.

I can't believe you or anyone else is trying to defend this. If he'd been dazed for two seconds because his idol is crying in front of him that'd be one thing, but he goes the entire scene without a fucking shred of worry for Victor or remorse for making him cry. It doesn't even cross his mind. That's not autistic, that's fucking soulless.
>>
>>151242362
>Ep 12 was an ok episode
It really wasn't, though. Not after the previous 11 episodes leading up to it.
Instead of resolving anything, it just focused on setting up a whole bunch of questions for season2. It was more a promo trailer teaser than a final episode
>>
>>151242788
Someone who is clearly shocked doesn't say in a bored tone, "Oh, I guess even you cry."

Just Joking.

>>151242752
Viktor didn't even refute it when Yuuri said he was the one who said it was only until the GPF. It's really no wonder they have a communication problem.
>>
>>151242788
>started being mad instead.
He was mad from the beginning. Crying doesn't mean he's exclusively sad. Clearly he's upset and frustration, and Yuuri didn't deal with it empathetically.

I really am second guessing my interpretations of Victor now. I get so many mix messages from him this episode.

From the things he says to Yuuri, or the lack of; the hidden expressions he makes when both Yuri's break his records... how are we supposed to read his reactions? I would have assumed before this week he was fine with it and didn't care about records really anyway. He was ready to move on. Then the things he said while watching the others last week, enjoy being a spectator.

But with a possible return one way or another, were the things about him being lonely, being held back by skating, resolved because of Yuuri? Because his talk with Fairy and Yakov seemed like he was really forcing himself with returning to the ice.

I guess we're supposed to be left in the dark, since this season has been about Yuri, the next will be Victor's?
>>
Literally the only way I can see this whole thing with Victor working is if one of S2's early conflicts is him having to choose between competing again or coaching since he can't do both. If they just toss the rules and have him do both because it just works that way in the anime, then there was no reason for them to spend this show's budget going abroad to skating events to do research.
>>
>>151242962
>this season has been about Yuri, the next will be Victor's?
Better be, I can't stand Yuuri anymore.
>>
>>151242831

This. Yuuri's story was't resolved, he didn't get gold and worse of all is clearly still dependant on Victor. If it does happen and no hald skater ha;f coach shit happens, Victor skating again will be good for Yuuri to become confident in himself.
>>
>>151242840
It didn't sound bored to me, more like he was spilling spaghetti. Which was exactly what happened.

I went in expecting pure garbage and was honestly expecting it ready to laugh at it and make fun of it (I'm not a fujoshi) but then I got really into it, and I have only myself to blame for being disappointed at this point.
>>
>>151242661
I understand wanting to defend the show after how much it gave us, but the finale is inexcusable and I'm not going to pretend to be positive about it just because the lead-up was solid.

This was a bad episode in virtually every way. I don't like saying it, but it's true.
>>
>>151242962
Kubo herself admits she doesn't understand Viktor's motivations. We'll never know. He's a wildcard and not in a good way.

i'm in the camp that victor was just agreeing with whatever yuri said to make yuri happy since it's evident this retard can't think beyond "wow victor's too good for me i cant believe he wants to put his glowing dick in my butthole"
>>

> Kubo doesn't understand her own fucking OC

shitty writer
>>
>>151242830
So much this. It'd have been different if he'd have been shocked for a while and then gotten worried or flustered, but he's just so goddamn calm throughout. All "oh, I'm surprised you're crying", what the fucking shit? Not one word about how he didn't mean to upset him, or how he wants him to be happy in the end, just all "oh you're in tears now, that's unexpected, let me get a closer look"
>>
>>151242830

honestly this is what i don't get about that scene. you see him crying and then victor's pouring out his heart and then the VERY NEXT SCENE IS LITERALLY

> we decided

no. no you didn't. YOU decided, yuuri.

I like that the yurio theories about looking up to yuri were true

>—Certainly, in the first three episodes, Victor comes across as being quite mysterious, someone that you can’t quite grasp.

>Kubo: In the course of writing this story, even I found myself wondering just what kind of person Victor is. From about episode 4, together with Yūri, I started taking a peek into Victor. It was like I was trying to grasp something that I still couldn’t see… Even as I was writing Victor, I was often caught up in those kinds of feelings. In that sense, you could say that Victor is a character that moved and grew together with the anime as a whole.

Doesn't mean she doesn't understand him now. He grew with the story. Lots of writers say stuff like that. They learn more about the characters as they continue to write.
>>
>>151243690

there's an initial character story and then theres "theres this guy who the [MC] idolizes and idk he comes over one day"

this explains why there's no real backstory for him.
>>
>>151241200
I can see him sticking around until Yuuri beats him and gets gold, then he'll retire for good.
>>
>>151240860
He's going to have skaters lining up asking him to choreograph for them.

He'll get laid, just no kissing. Yuuri can kiss him though.

Y'all spouting this shit need to chill and/or grow up. Not everyone is a secret edgelord sociopath autist, sometimes fights get awkward and you say awkward shit. What did you want Yuri to start bawling and beg for forgiveness? Or 1000x gomensasai? Cripes I have my own problems with this episode but people going on about Hitler pig because he didn't react in a soap operatic fashion in that scene tilts me off the face of the goddamn globe.

Get a partner, and have a fight, then come back to me
