the best thing you can do for your bro, past sucking his dick or fucking him platonically or kissing him in public so that he knows you love him in a non-homo way, is buying bro rings that you can wear on your fingers to display your absolutely non-romantic commitment to each other to your friends and family.

>>151285158
They never even said it was for marriage. You need to stop applying real logic to anime. Anime has dudes act gay all the time for fujo bait. Doesn't make it canon.

>>151286664
they're not fucking acting gay. this is just a thing that men do when they share the deep bond between men that you, a woman, could never understand.

>>151286664
True, it wasn't for marriage. They're just engagement rings, as Victor explicitly confirmed. The receipt did confirm they're wedding rings but the wedding is for after the gold.

Egomaniac JJ was the best.

Episode 11-12 was terrible, like a completely different character.

>>151287242
ITSS JJ STYRRUUUUU!!!!!!

>>151288359
Nah JJ is boss. They had to nerf his character with "muh anxiety" and he still ends up in 3rd place.

The dude practically steam rolled all the tournaments up until this point.

>>151289013
He was written that way and that's why he's shit.

>>151288781
I was disappointed by episode 11-12 JJ too, him being an arrogant asshole and looking down on the other competitors made him entertaining. Him suddenly having a breakdown felt like they just wanted to have an easy way for Yuri/Yurio to get to the first places

>>151289064
The breakdown was great though, it's a direct parallel to Yuuri choking last time but shows how different it can be for someone with self confidence, who's able to accept support from friends and fans.

Episode 12 was pants on head retarded, I have no idea why he placed. They should've let him perform decently enough because he could recover with a positive enough attitude (something Yuuri needs), but it should've fucked his chances at a medal. It should've shown that he didnt even need a medal to believe in himself after a low point.

>>151287926
>But really, it's less ambiguous that they want the D, but more are they actually a committed couple that is staying together long term.

It feels like both of them worry that if either of them retires that they'll leave eachother. I don't know if there something else going on preventing from staying a relationship or their own anxiety. I doubt they'll address this in s2, who knows.

It was a great scene I agree, but for me it still felt way too convenient (a little bit out of character from what we had seen from JJ) to suddenly have the top challenger choke like that. I know it could happen in real life sports but still felt like the easy way out to give the Yuris the victory to me
Would've probably not have as much trouble with the scene if he had crashed and burned though, having him mess up like that and give the third place over Otabek or even Chris was bullshit, yea

>>151289433
You're always good for a laugh when it comes to homo, I guess your tolerance is refreshing but I can only imagine what your friendships with men are like in real life. There must be a lot of friendly no homo brojobs involved.

>>151289767
He isn't really a king or alpha because they broke him down in episode 11. Since his break down was a waste of time, it would have better he actually remained an egomaniac.

I am quite annoyed on anime like this who doesn't want outright say this is a shounen-ai or yaoi anime, because the creators know if they put a label like that then your normal anime fan won't even bother to watch it at all.

This isn't even like Samurai Flamenco where you can say the MC doesn't know about romantic love, this is outright obvious yet the creator won't even admit it.

But it makes no sense.

>>151289899
They shouldn't have to 'admit' or label it, people should just stop being retarded about gay relationships and accept what's being shown to them in the same way they would for straight relationships. I wish the staff would stop letting people no homo it but it's not like they haven't put plenty of effort into making it blatant homo.

You must have missed on how even straight relationships can be ambiguous on whether they are intended to be romantic or not by creators, like Lelouch and C.C, Shinji and Misato.

It's not that hard to just admit "Yes, they are in a romantic relationship" instead of going "Well, he was his support....' and not admitting to it at all.

It's just very hard to justify a character who fought against Victor getting cold feet against 2 new entries and a bunch of losers he already knew.

>>151290324
8 years, I can't into math.

>>151290335
And it's hard to justify Japan's ace totally bombing out of sheer nerves, but that's the entire premise of the story. Stop being so desperate to call asspull on things that are easily within the realm of believability, it served it's purpose narratively until they decided to give him a medal. That's the real asspull.

>>151290428
I didn't even call it an asspull.

Just bad writing. Egomanic JJ was much more refreshing and better character to me.

>>151290428
>it's hard to justify Japan's ace totally bombing out of sheer nerves
Yuri has been established as having massive anxiety issues since the beginning, something JJ doesn't have.

>>151290335
The thing with Victor is that you knew he'd be getting the gold, there might actually be less pressure. Whereas now that he stepped off for the season, there's probably more pressure on JJ because gold is now a possibility. Just something to consider.

>>151290481
His egomaniac persona was pointless beyond minor entertainment value. He served no purpose until he was used to contrast Yuuri in that breakdown, and it was the only good writing that went into his character.

>>151290500
>Yuri has been established as having massive anxiety issues since the beginning, something JJ doesn't have.
Not him, but they also established every skater is a super-talent so it's hard to imagine him not pissing himself during his dark days and just drop after the fist tournament.

>>151290550
>His egomaniac persona was pointless beyond minor entertainment value
Which it's better than 3 minutes of awful, out of nowhere drama about pressure.

This is like trying to give everyone a sad backstory.

>>151290500
Nerves are a pretty universal problem, they aren't exclusive to people with long term anxiety issues and can pop up in people who dont typically experience them if they're thrown off balance. JJ had the added pressure of marriage and seeing people kill it before him.

With them making a sequel there was no way they'd cement things right now anyway, we're only at the midpoint. If we weren't getting a continuation I could see people getting upset but it's like wanting the climax during the intermission.

I still think people will remember better about most of the other contestants programs. They are all monsters, but he is very academic. The choreography between the jumps was limit minimal to my eyes.

>>151291919
It'll be named Yurio

>>151291919
It'll be named Victory.

>>151291698
But it's not his personal signature. I don't see how it's original. JJ on the other hand. Nobody could skate on his song.

>>151291945
It's in the show and not some made up headcanon.

>>151276139
bait. They played everyone like fiddle, and got that sweet fujo money.

There's no excuse for Otabek's score

>>151292068
Bad writing is one.

>>151292053
Anon pls

>>151292016
The show is still inspired by real skating. You need to see more of real performances. Judges never appreciate text book skating. That's why Medo chan is getting better scores than Yuna Kim ever did.

>>151292116
What are you on? You said he is text book like but it's canon that he isn't. Are you saying Ciao Ciao and Victor are idiots?

Take Chris for example, many complained that he was creep and, not sexy but in the show itself he's sensual and maturely erotic.

>>151291945
I agree. All the other skaters choreographies were certainly way more complicated. Landing your jumps isn't enough.

>>151292225
Well Victor is an idiot.

>>151292091
sorry

>>151292247
Victor is a living legend and genius ice skater.

>>151289639
Otabike can't dance. Fairy will teach him next season.

>>151292225
I just watched his steps between the jumps. Why don't do do that? Because these are canon, and another thing that is canon is his score. If he landed all his jumps, what remains? What was badly scored?

And don't make me laugh about Ciaociao. He was the worst coach ever. Look at Yuuri's state when the story starts. He's the last one you should trust the opinion.

I'm mad and confused about the constant "JJ robbed Otabek of his medal!!!" and the lack of care about Chris dropping to FIFTH. How is everyone so mad about Otabek and so few people realize the inconsistent writing mostly affected Chris?

>>151291992
>But it's not his personal signature.
How? I think it fits very well with the kind of character they are going for with Otabek. Pretty sure the lyrics in his Symphony No.9 are related to his personality too but I can't hear them clearly enough.

>JJ on the other hand. Nobody could skate on his song.
That's because everyone would laugh while trying.

>>151292341
You missed the previous threads.

>>151292341
Chris choked. This is an uncommon problem for him. But this time it was just too much at once for him to handle.

I don't know much about ice skating but can you actually be good without ballet lessons?

>>151292360
When I say it's not his personbal signature, it means that anyone could come up with such program. And in fact, similar ones are literally filling every IRL competition. The song was great, but the performance was boring.

>>151292341
Both serious threats had to choke to have Yuuri and Yuri win, that's just how it is

>>151292340
>the entire post

Any further discussion is impossible.

>>151292364
I'm caught up on threads. There's a couple anons pointing it out but an overwhelming "Otabek deserved to medal!" since the episode aired.

>>151292378
> Chris choked. This is an uncommon problem for him.
That's a major writing issue that I don't see being discussed enough. Again, overwhelming talk about Otabek/JJ and barely anyone commenting on Chris, let's not even mention Phichit.

>>151292341
Most of us know it's shit writing. Anyone defending it is retarded.

It was so fun until episode 11, what the hell MAPPA.

>>151276139
Like every other anime. The homo is real but the relationship is bait.

>>151292448
I think most accepted and expected Phichit to place last or even before JJ chocked.

Daily dose of Blau.

>>151292360
>>JJ on the other hand. Nobody could skate on his song.
>That's because everyone would laugh while trying.
OK, let's take another example. Could anyone skate on 'Yuri on Ice'? No, because it's the story of his skating life. That's personal, it's his signature. You know nothing about Otabek while watching him skate, other than he can jump.

Look at Plushenko, would anyone be able to imitate him? Or Yuzuru? That's originality, that's uniqueness. A lot of YoI characters are close to their level, but Otabek is still behind a lot of them. I personally think he needs to evolve a lot from there. That's why I have great expectations for S2, others than the 'love' side of the story.
He says himself that he's been working hard to get to a level where he can offer something the others can't. He still has to convince the judges.

I don't give a fuck about Ciaociao's opinion.

>>151292499
'Main couple can't get together fully until the end' is terrible and needs to die.

>>151292499
Nah still went further than most anime.
Even for het couples.

>>151292340
>And don't make me laugh about Ciaociao. He was the worst coach ever. Look at Yuuri's state when the story starts. He's the last one you should trust the opinion.
I agree with you. Him simply saying this don't mean that he's right.

>>151292499
This is a great way of putting it. If they weren't in an anime they'd be together by now, but unfortunately, they have to continue with contrived suffering and separation for our viewership.

>>151292654
>ook at Plushenko, would anyone be able to imitate him? Or Yuzuru? That's originality, that's uniqueness. A lot of YoI characters are close to their level, but Otabek is still behind a lot of them.

Don't bring your headcanons into discussion please.

>>151290550
>He served no purpose until he was used to contrast Yuuri in that breakdown, and it was the only good writing that went into his character.

Except that almost all the contestants changed their whole program around to beat him. He was a force to be reckoned with.

Whether you like it or not he was set up to be the big challenge. That was his role. He was already a contrast to yuri before he jobbed.

And his sudden anxiety made no sense. He already beat most of these guys in other competitions. Yuri's anxiety came from the fact that he felt like he didn't belong. Dude always calls himself an average skater and even though he was the top Jap representative.

JJ on the other hand has not placed below 1st. Where the hell is this nervousness coming from? I mean, sure, he could miss a couple of quads from jitters but the character they showed up until this point would easily bounce back from that, instead he preforms the worst. Essentially they nerferd the only real threat, and final antagonist, to both the yuries. they destroyed any semblance of hype and threat in their story. As a sports anime they totally shat the bed with that move.

>>151292387
The lack of flexibility and graceful movements is problematic.

>>151292225
>Are you saying Ciao Ciao and Victor are idiots?
The real pro judges here are the ones who give the scores.

>>151292667
I don't necessarily disagree but even western media does this because they know it's the journey toward that culmination that keeps people interested. People sadly get sick of established pairings too easily, so they usually just reserve that for supporting characters. Or once they get fully established early on they break up in the end or give them tons of drama to keep interest.

>>151292738
You don't have to discredit characters just to defend ass-pulls. The writing was just shit.

>>151292360
>Pretty sure the lyrics in his Symphony No.9 are related to his personality too but I can't hear them clearly enough.
So you don't even know. At least others have the 'canon' argument to oppose. I don't see any reason to continue this conversation on these bases.

>>151292413
Yeah I agree, compared to the others it was boring. But I guess the fact that originality > perfect jumps is hard to accept for Otabikes, which is kind of understandable.

>>151292431
Well I agree. I'll just wait for S2 to prove my point by making him evolve for some 'canon' reason and get better scores.

>>151292667
The entire episode feels like a rewrite anyway, why they couldn't make a sequel bait with Yuuri winning gold, regaining his love for skating and confirming his relationship with Victor? fucking Japan. The only good thing out of it was Yurio winning gold.

>>151292701
We should make a club. The Anti Ciaciao Club.

>>151292863
Forgot to mention the worse offender: why Victor fucking needs to go back to skating? it's pointless. They basically rewrote what they had in mind for him.

DOUJINS WHEN?

>>151292863
They needed Victor not wanting to kiss his medal in there I guess.

>>151292807
Calm down, I didn't even try to start an argument, I just said his music is nice.

>>151292883
>why Victor fucking needs to go back to skating?
muh Yuuri

>>151292378
But why? It's so stupid and contrived. We're supposed to believe that he suddenly becomes handicapped out of jealousy in the middle of his most important performance, when he's been totally chill everywhere else?

>>151292654
I see your point. Most people here took interest in ice skating because of this show, but they're far from being fans like Kubo. They're all newfags when it comes to skating appreciation.
They like Otabek, they love him being with Fairy, and their opinion about his performance is only subjective at this point.

>>151292880
I wanted to blame Ciao Ciao but I think Phichit himself said can't land quads like Chris and Yuuri and that's probably why his program had such low difficulty

>>151292883
>why Victor fucking needs to go back to skating
For Victor vs Yuri in the finals.

>>151292939
I'm going to be honest I was just trying to make a blowjob joke.

>>151292654
I like the way you think plus it's better for the show's future too.

>>151292863
Your fault for thinking japan is capable of good endings.

>>151292883
Fucking this. I could've overlooked everything else if it weren't for that one line in the gala about his comeback.

>>151276139
So is this the most homo series without actual kissing or sex?

>>151292701
At last someone who understands where the limits of 'canon' are.

>>151292939
Yeah I hated what they did to Chris. It was a shit move.

>>151292863
They wanted to keep Baldfat as MCs in the next season, that's why. You know what that means. They couldn't do a sequel with only Yurio (like I was hoping so they could do a more conclusive ending for this season) as the MC because they know Baldfat is the main driving force of the show so he wouldn't be able to carry it on his own.

I had this feeling this would happen as soon as they expressed interest in making another season while this was airing. This is still a TV show and anime, after all.

>>151292936
He already had all the time with Yuuri before, if anything he's stupid because he's going to spend less time with him just to train more.

>>151293026
They kiss, as well as on the skates and hands, so no. But it is a pretty blatantly homo series.

>>151293058
They can still be the MCs without shitting on the characters.

>>151292983
Well, thanks for making me laugh even though I'm still mad.

>>151292616
Thanks doc, got some more?

>>151293067
Not defending it but they're training together.

>>151291666
It's not straight but it's also no entirely gay. It's no different from other yaoi/yuribait shows but people seem to think otherwise.

>>151293107
Stuff like Yuuri winning gold means that they wouldn't have much to go on in the sequel because Yuuri already attained the/his ultimate goal. I'm not defending what they did, just explaining.

>>151292738
It's quite obvious why people think Victor and Ciaociao's opinions are God's words. They don't know the judges and don't love them as characters. But it's a fucking competition, it has nothing to do with what you think of the judges. They are the real pros here.

>>151292838
I just hope his fans will see him evolve and learn that he can do much, MUCH better than that. I'm sure he's only at the beginning of his trip to the Gold medal.

>>151293271
Watch the show, anon. Their feelings for each other are already defined as ai/love and eros. The problem people have with it is not making them as fully established as possible.

>>151293302
The judges are not even characters. Again, you don't have to discredit characters to defend shit writing.

>>151293067
He's doing it because Yuuri wants to see him skate again, it's what he decided he'd give him. They'll be living and training together, they'll still be spending most of their hours together. It'll probably just be for a season, likely until Yuuri gets gold and beats him.

>>151292801
It's not me who had the nerve to say JJ bought the judges or the judges eyes were full of shit and it was 'so unfair'.

I'm the one analyzing what the episode showed and comparing with the other skaters performances plus taking in count IRL skating like Kubo herself does.

>>151276139
They're bisexual.

>>151293431
So you think Chris's jealousy in the middle of his performance and JJ's anxiety out of nowhere is good writing? Kubo is a terrible writer.

>>151293431
JJ getting bronze obviously made sense from a real life perspective given the content of his program, it was just a pointless narrative decision.

>>151293375
You watch more shows, anon. Confessing their love doesn't necessarily mean romantic love in bait anime such as YoI.

>>151292883
Why don't you think it was Kubo's intention from the beginning? Victor never said that he wanted to quit, He said he felt like he has a 'Shackle around his neck' and was searching for a way to get free and evolve further.
He never, ever said he wanted to quite. And that would be so out of character too. He obviously wished he could skate and participate too watching the other skaters performances.
That's why Yuuri decided to 'release' him from being his coach. He understood what Victor was needing the most without even for words to be said.

God Kubo is a genius.

It's not bait like your show because they don't shut it down with surprise straight love interests. And the writer already wanted to write a non-het show.

That's not including the whole eros narrative and them wanting to "seduce" each other.

Indeed they are the actual example of non-romantic love, or a love without compromise. It's different from Yuri on Ice though because Victor never had other romantic interests presented in the show and Yuuri childhood love was crushed in the middle of the first episode with the girl having triplets, aka lost forever.

>>151293710
The medal should have been Chris's, they fucked him over and gave it to that faggot JJ.

>>151292947
On the positive side, it shows this show's greatness. It's like every contestant managed to grab someone's heart, in only 12 episodes.
It's T&B all over again, except this time we're getting S2. A fucking miracle.

>>151293617

Ok, I'll translate it, just give me a few minutes.

>>151281584
No, they aren't straight. They are both faggots, but whether they are or not in a romantic relationship or get married isn't 100% confirmed because muh sequel.

>>151293758
>Yuuri childhood love
I'm not even sure about this anymore, what with his feelings being officially described as admiration and not much indication of more.
Though that whole scene in ep1 was fucking hilarious, it was like reverse bait. Het-baiting.

>They don't kiss on-screen, only "confirmed" on Twitter
>They don't get married as many anons kept saying they would
>Had many chances to fuck but never did
>The aura between Yuuri and Victor is more playful than romantic

It's impossible for me to believe this isn't a yaoibait show when none of these two really have any sexual urges in the show. This isn't treating their relationship as a realistic representation of homo pairings, this is just being ambiguous for the sake of milking the franchise and having 10 seasons of "will they won't they".

>>151289433
Victor's based on a gay man, idiot.

>>151292863
WTF. This would have been so boring and predictable.

>>151293710

It would have made sense if he hadn't fucked up his SP so completely (and he was obviously overscored on that anyway). But writing-wise it never made sense - his failure but refusal to give up in his SP finally made him alikeable character, letting him medal after that undid it. Especially when other characters like Chris and Otabek did well in both their programs.

>>151293837
>these two really have any sexual urges in the show.
Literally confirmed for not watching

>>151293824
>>151293758
For the record, Yuuri's described his feelings for Yuuko and Victor with the exact same label. Before meeting Victor.

>>151293067
They will train together.

>>151293837
have you seen their eros? there is literally no way they weren't fucking. it doesn't have to be any more spelled out than the two beds pushed together.

They're obviously gay and in love with each other, what's shit is that they're obviously still not in a relatonship with each other, and it makes no sense.

>>151293769
Honestly, if I had to kick anyone out from the medal it would be Yuri. The ideal finalists from a purely narrative standout would be:

No S2:
Yuuri
Chris
JJ or Yurio

Yes S2:
Chris
Yuuri
JJ or Yurio

Neither Otabek nor Phichit have enough character to warrant them getting a special standing at the end of the show. They're both so flat/one dimensional that in comparison to the rest of the main cast, they're unfortunate obvious add ons (Phichit to Yuuri, Otabek to Yurio).

Yuuri obviously needs to medal being a protagonist, which we got. JJ or Yurio can be up in the standings because they play similar roles, the "younger talented prodigy" role. Yurio would edge out JJ in no S2 because he's one of the main three but a greenlit S2 should have JJ edge out Yurio to have a good setting for a continuous competitive rivalry among the younger talented skaters.

It's really Chris who got unfairly knocked out. As the person who has been described as the "slow starter", always second to Victor and showed as the biggest threat from the first major tournament, Chris can be seen as the best "antagonist" against Yuuri if there is one in this show. Writing-wise, he really should be in the Top Three, and specifically Silver or Gold.

>>151293932

I thought that before episode 12, but 12 just made it seem obvious to me they're not fucking or in a relationship yet.

Same. I love Yurio, but from a narrative perspective I'm really surprised he got gold. Unless they're setting him up for difficulties/failure in s2.

I was hilarious and excellent writing.
Try to yell an insult at a skater or get the whole public to boo them and see if they don't react. Chris is obsessed by Victor, it's not new. And JJ always overdoes it so it was only normal that he would break at one point. Don't underestimate the amounts of stress these competitors are under. The tiniest things can be like the sand in the machinery.

>>151294006
And he rhinks Yuuri is hot.

>>151293960
I don't even really understand what the point was of establishing Chris's thing of starting slowly and peaking for the final was if they were just going to forget about it.

They can't fuck during competition. Wouldn't be surprised if they fucked after the GPF though if that "excite me" scene is any indication and certainly now that they'll be living alone together in Victor's apartment in Russia

Wasn't it a rope strangling him? I saw people freak out because they thought skating was killing him?

He'll be getting his growth spurt soon which will pose a problem, Yuuri will also be a big challenge if his head is screwed on right. Yuuri can pull off Victor's level of difficulty while Yurio still has trouble.

>having 10 seasons of "will they won't they".
That's definitely what they're doing but it isn't fujobaiting, that's just regular relationship bait to keep fans hooked. It happens with het romance all the time because once the couple is together, the tension is gone and people lose interest.

I hate that, establishd relationships are great.

>>151294374
I will buy the Victor perfume and spray it on my pillow and hump it every night

>>151290207
Let me tell you a secret: performances aren't real. When an actor is playing a gay character doesn't mean he actually likes dudes. Same with skating. Just because two skaters skate together doesn't mean they're lovers.

>>151294512
Yuuri and Victor are both inexperienced with love, but you gotta start somewhere.

>>151276139
They're definitely gay, and it will be officially confirmed at the end of season 4, once the series has been milked for all it's worth. Keep buying the BDs chumps

>>151294567
This is true and if it really is referenced from Virtue/Moir those two aren't a couple either. But they are fucking leafs

>>151294238
Fetters was the actual japanese I think

I just realized that the presenter always said "Katsuki Yuuri" and for the others they said their First Name, Last name.

"Victor Nikiforov"
"Yuri Plisetski"
Etc.

>>151294567
Is it? When it's already established the characters express their true feelings on the ice? Or that they're skating to a love song that brought them together in the first place and is established narratively as being about them? This is some reaching.

*makes out with you, dates you, and spends the rest of my life with you*

no homo

>>151294617
Because the announcer nip perhaps.

>>151294617
He's called Yuri Katsuki by announcers a few times. Only that japanese commentator guy usually calls him the Japanese way.

>>151293837
>these two really have any sexual urges in the show
You can have sexual urges without giving into them. That's called not being a rapist.
Plus they aren't teenagers who think with their hormones.

>>151292726
You are forgetting that this is the first time JJ has been the overwhelming favorite. It's one thing to kill it in the prelims, it's another thing for big dance.

He reminds me of Patrick Chan, really. Dude would kill in the small events, but fucking choke in the larger ones.

>>151294541
Needs sweat and hot breath and would be perfect.
Bonus points for the light gone from his eyes and heavy blush.

They're engaged and living together with a dog. Nigga they gay.

Also the gold medal scene. They fucked so hard after that they destroyed the hotel room.

>>151294559
I agree, especially when the romance is just a subplot. But I'm not surprised they're being cautious, this is uncharted territory and Baldfat are very popular, they would not want to risk them losing their novelty. And an established relationship makes it harder to synch their development with the skating, because Yuuri's success has always hinged on getting closer to Victor.

>>151294685
I don't even know how people can doubt this anyway when their relationship is displayed as something erotic. Like when Victor pretty much whispers to Yuuri he got aroused by his performance in ep6, whistles at him in ep3, constantly telling him to seduce him as much as possible, and Yuuri thinking that Victor is hot and that his skating is also "eros". And blushing, pupils dilating, and humping on each other when drunk.

They got sexual urges all right.

>>151294460
Nice, thank you. It does suit Otabek, fits his quiet determination sort of personality.

>>151294704
delet

>>151293547
>Why don't you think it was Kubo's intention from the beginning? Victor never said that he wanted to quit, He said he felt like he has a 'Shackle around his neck' and was searching for a way to get free and evolve further.
I think Episode 10 was that he doesn't prioritize skating above love and life anymore. Victor would have been pretty happy just being Yuuri's coach and being by his side as long Yuuri skates though. But he started to get disenchanted with skating because he has to give it his all to reinvent himself and surprise the crowd. That would created a lot of pressure and it lead to its natural conclusion that the reinvention won't work because everyone expects it. Now Yuuri is his main priority, it will probably change things for him.

I still think retirement would have been a better route for Victor, especially when he wants to coach Yuuri still. He seems to only going back for Yuuri anyway.

Does a bear shit in the woods?

>>151294857
The entire meta narrative of eros is literally seduction, there's undeniably a sexual dynamic between them.

>>151292736
Obatek doesn't do ballet, maybe that's why he looks a bit stiff.

>>151293824
Nah, Yuuri was crushing on both Yuuko and Victor growing up. That's why Victor was pretty prominent in Yuuri's memories of Yuuko and his unrequited crush on her.

>>151293940
What would be senseless would be to get them to fuck in the middle of a competition despite both knowing they already have their own share of unresolved struggles.
They are pros and adults, the competition's results will dictate both their futures as skaters or coach/skater. They are already together and know they don't need to hurry up love plus that it's not even the right time for that.

It's not a college slice of life with teenage MCs who only have their homework to think about.

>>151295025
I don't know, but they fuck Fairies.

I'm just gonna say I could make a collage out of Hibike that looks just as gay as this and yet the show was still bait.

>>151295068

I'm not even talking about fucking, they literally don't seem to be in an actual relationship.

> They are already together

Are they though?

>>151294242
>Hesgonnakissmehesgonnakissmehesgonnakissmehyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

>>151294099
Probably showing that he's getting too old for this shit, but his routines wouldn't have beaten out JJ, Fairy or Yuuri's anyway. JJ had the hardest FP and Yuuri has the hardest SP (although JJ could have easily made the hardest FP too if he was all MUH MUSIC COLLAB. Yurio's Agape and Allegro Apassionato were difficult as well although his score for his Agape didn't make any sense, but whatever.

>>151294281
>Victor's knee was literally in between his legs
My God you're right! I didn't even realize.

>>151295130
You'd still be ignoring those scenes in context though.
Victor's flirting and teasing of Yuuri early on actually has meaning because he became attracted to Yuuri before the show started, making those legitimate attempts at seduction.

Stop fucking comparing Hibike to YoI

>>151294374
I want all of them. I'm gonna get all of them. This is why why I'm working 13 hours by day since last month.

>>151294567
They don't need to especially pair with a man.

>>151295224
People forget that Victor has been DTF with Yuuri since the first night at Hasetsu. If things went the way that Victor thought it would have gone if Yuuri was really that semen demon at the banquet, they would have fucked on the first night.

>>151294979
He'll likely give Yuuri one season and then call it quits when Yuuri wins gold over him, then keep coaching Yuuri for another 4 years until Yuuri retires.

>>151294567
So they would be the only ones in the whole show not to express their feelings on the ice? While being the MCs? You're funny.

>>151295130
Nice, but don't forget to add the moments Reina flat out talks about loving Taki-sensei or Shuichi being in love with Kumiko and the screentime they have together always shows them being more interested in each other.

Now I understand all these people getting Victor's personality wrong and calling out of character bad writing. It was a fail translation from the beginning. I wish they would pedal back instead of keeping on forcing their erroneous impressions on the other fans.

Skating was never killing Victor.

>>151295191
I know people like to push the "skaters become old and busted as soon as they hit their 20s" meme, but 25 isn't actually that old to be competing.

>>151294172
sure chris was chill but he always hinted at wanting to beat victor someday. and ofc jj is the ham of this series with writing his own performance song and always thinking he's the fucking best. his breaking point was inevitable and well timed desu

>>151276139
I don't like yaoi but they have a cute and pure relationship. I like how the anime ended, Victor recoverred his pasion thanks to Yuuri and that's how a healthy relationship must be.

Do not despair and wait, it will worth it. Until next season.

I don't know why people compare Kumiko and Reina with Yuri and Victor, it's completely different, a couple like Izetta and Fine is way more similar this season.

>>151295521
There's no practical difference between the rope metaphor and the shackles metaphor. It still would have made for a far better and more poignant story if they'd gone the retirement route and finally let him live his life for himself.

>>151295191
Speaking of Agape, I found the lyrics and thought I'd post a translation I whipped up.
For the life of me, though, I could not think of how to translate "nobis, grandis clara nosque curabit" decently.


Sic mea vita est temporaria, cupit
ardenter caritatem aeternam

Credam, dabo, sperabo, honorabo,
laborabo, gratias agam！

Et denique aperiens fores occultas,
nobis, grandis et clara nosque curabit
nobis, grandis et clara nosque curabit

magna magna, caritas
Ah！　Audio vocem tuam！
Adest mi libertas！

Mea vita amabit, caritatis pacem.
Hanc felicitatem aeternam esse oro.

--

Since my life is temporary,
it ardently desires an eternal love.

I will trust, I will give, I will hope, I will honor,
I will labor, I will give thanks!

And at last opening hidden doors,
For us (it will be) mature and honorable and it will take care of us,
For us (it will be) mature and honorable and it will take care of us.

Great, great love,
I hear your call!
My freedom is at hand!

My life will cherish the peace of love.
I pray this happiness will be eternal.

>>151294857
I suppose they want to see Yuuri as more stoic than he really is, because it is the japanese male's stereotype. It's hard to fight these and having been liking yaoi with its own sterotypes for years too doesn't help.

>>151295583
Which has nothing to do with being jealous out of nowhere and chocking when nothing was establish for the character. Shit writing is shit.

>>151295521

You do realise fetters are not pleasant things.

Have they ever kissed? Serious question, I know jack shit about Hibikek but Baldfat have kissed on the lips, hand, wedding ring and foot so far.

>>151295583
Obviously Chris was established to have issues with Victor, the point is that him suddenly being badly affected by it in the middle of his performance in particular was contrived as hell. Skaters don't have the time to be paying attention to what's going on outside of the rink when they're performing in competition in the first place.
