Yuri!!! on Ice	comment	Yuri!!! on Ice is an original anime directed by Sayo Yamamoto, who previously directed Michiko & Hatchin and Lupin III: The Woman Called Fujiko Mine. It was co-created by Yamamoto with Mitsurou Kubo (creator of Again!! and Moteki), who is also responsible for the writing and original character designs. Tadashi Hiramatsu, who's best known for his work on several Studio Gainax series, serves as lead character designer.Yuri Katsuki has always idolized famous Russian figure skater Victor Nikiforov, and dreams of one day being able to skate on the same ice as him. Unfortunately, when he finally gets his chance to do so, he messes up in his free skate, coming in dead last at the Grand Prix Final in Sochi. To add insult to injury, similarly-named Russian junior champion Yuri Plisetsky tells him to just give up already.In March the following year he returns to his hometown in Kyushu, unsure whether or not he really wants to quit figure skating altogether. When he goes to the local skating rink and perfectly imitates Victor's latest program, a video of him is uploaded to the internet and it goes viral, catching Victor's attention. Victor then shows up at Yuri's family hot spring, declaring that he will now be Yuri's coach for the upcoming Grand Prix.The show is animated by MAPPA and aired in the fall of 2016. It is available for worldwidenote With the exception of China and Japan. streaming on Crunchyroll here. Funimation has released an English broadcast dub for this series, which began on October 24, 2016. Watch it here.A movie has been greenlit, called Yuri!!! on Ice the Movie: Ice Adolescence, which was originally going to be released in 2019, but has been delayed. However, on 26 November 2020, a PV that was previously screened in Japanese cinemas has since been released to the general public along with a notice about the delay.Along with Tiger Mask W, it's notable for being the first TV Asahi Late-Night Anime since From the New World.Not to be confused with the Yuri Genre; quite the opposite, in fact, given that the predominant romantic themes are between two men. (Note that the transliteration is of ユーリ , which can often be transliterated as Yuuri as well, while Yuri Genre would be written either as 百合 or, in rarely-used katakana, ユリ.) This has led to some fans joking that it ought to be named "Yaoi!!! On Ice", instead, though it isn't strictly Yaoi Genre, either, despite its gay themes.

Yuri!!! on Ice / int_1282bf4f	type	No Celebrities Were Harmed
Yuri!!! on Ice / int_1282bf4f	comment	No Celebrities Were Harmed: Yuri Katsuki seems to be a combination of various Japanese figure skaters. Yuri's career and background are based almost verbatim off Tatsuki Machida. 23-year-old Machida, like Yuri, finished last during his first stint at the Grand Prix Final in Sochi (which was actually held at the Iceberg Skating Palace), proceeded to fail at Nationals, and didn't make it to the World Championships that year. Machida was also a college student at the time, had no idea what to do when he graduated, and struggled with low self-esteem. Both Machida and Yuri went overseas to America and Yuri's home rink "Ice Castle Hasetsu" was most definitely inspired from California's "Ice Castle" where Machida trained. Parts of Yuri's personality and skating style draw inspiration from Daisuke Takahashi. Takahashi was known for having a "glass heart" from his fragile mentality during skates in his early days. This is reflected in Yuri's struggle with his anxiety and weak mentality on the ice throughout the entire series, as well as directly referenced in Victor's statement of "skaters' hearts are as fragile as glass" in Episode 7. However, Takahashi is a legend who has a sensual style of skating much like Yuri's Eros persona. In addition, Yuri's strength is said to be his step sequences, which is also Takahashi's specialty. Visually, Yuri looks quite a bit like Yuzuru Hanyu and his idolization of Victor was directly inspired by Yuzuru's admiration of Victor's real-life counterpart, Evgeni Plushenko. Yuzuru's coach Brian Orser has stated that Yuzuru's idea of downtime between competitions is doing an ice show (as opposed to taking a holiday); Minako confirms to Victor that skating relaxes Yuri when he's anxious. Victor Nikiforov drew inspiration from quite a few men as well. Career-wise, he is based on Evgeni Plushenko, to the point that they hired Plushenko's choreographer as an advisor. Physically, Victor is based off of American actor John Cameron Mitchell; Mitsurou Kubo stated in an interview that when she went to see the musical Hedwig and the Angry Inch, she was inspired to base Victor's good looks on him. Victor's skating style is most likely based on Stephane Lambiel's, which is very different from Evgeni Plushenko's. Some of his cheerful personality seems to be based on Lambiel (who is quite a fun-loving goofball) as well. Victor is also shown standing with his hip cocked to one side and a finger to his lips, a tic he shares with Lambiel. Lambiel also went to Japan and briefly served as a choreographer for Daisuke Takahashi just after he retired from competition. Yuri Plisetsky was based on Yulia Lipnitskaya, making him a partial Gender Flip on her story. His story and skating style also strongly resembles a young Evgeni Plushenko. Lilia Baranovskaya, an aloof Russian prima ballerina, is an Expy of Maya Plisetskaya. Mila Babicheva shares a strong resemblance with American skater Ashley Wagner, as highlighted by Ashley herself. Phichit Chulanont seems to resemble Michael Christian Martinez, with both sporting similar appearances and having south-east Asian backgrounds (Thai and Filipino respectively). In fact, Michael himself◊ seems to have noticed the resemblance. Leo de la Iglesia may be based on American skater Jason Brown due to his fresh musicality and his programs not having a quad, which Jason Brown himself took a bit longer to put into competition. Alternatively, he also shares some similarities with Misha Ge, who, while not American (he represents Uzbekistan), is very well known for his love of choreography and extensive use of social media. Otabek Altin is based off of Kazakh skater and 2014 Olympic bronze medalist, Denis Ten, who was similarly noted to be a national hero to his people. Ironically, while Otabek is noted to dislike social media, Denis was quite active on it. Sara Crispino may be based on six-time Italian national champion Valentina Marchei, as the skater herself speculates.

American Leo isn't a blond and blue-eyed Caucasian but a tan, dark-haired Mexican-American).

Yuri!!! on Ice / int_1869b4b1	type	Unreliable Narrator
Yuri!!! on Ice / int_1869b4b1	comment	Unreliable Narrator: It’s easy enough to miss, but in the first episode while explaining what he is to the viewer, Yuri calls himself a "dime-a-dozen skater", even though the visuals show he is actually the number one skater in Japan and he made it all the way to the final round of a world-class skating competition, even if he placed last. He's also convinced he's failed his family, his nation, and himself, when he's literally been dubbed the in-universe "Ace of Japan." Episode 10, which is the first episode told from Victor's point-of-view, is arguably all about the differences between how Yuri sees himself and how others — particularly the people who love and admire him — see him. There are earlier hints of this, though, like Minami's admiration for Yuri and how Yuri dismissing his past programs as a "dark age" affect him. Yuri seems convinced that Victor will leave him for bigger and better things soon, and the audience largely goes along with this, not getting any other perspective on this... until Episode 10, which switches to Victor's perspective and makes it clear to the audience that he is actually smitten with Yuri and why.

Yuri!!! on Ice / int_1b65dfad	type	The Cameo
Yuri!!! on Ice / int_1b65dfad	comment	The Cameo: Real life figure skaters have shown up in the anime. Stéphane Lambiel announces the start of the free program at the Barcelona Grand Prix Final and seems to be an acquaintance of Victor's. He is a fan of the series and owns at least one Yuri on ICE phone case (as of 2017). Satsuki Muramoto, one of Phichit's coaches, is a tribute to a real ex-figure skater of the same name who coaches in Thailand. Similarly, Kanako Odagaki, Minami's coach, is based on a real skater who worked with Kenji Miyamoto to choreograph the show. Other skater cameos without voice roles: Evgeni Plushenko watches fellow Russian Yurio's performance in episode 9. Evgenia Medvedeva takes pictures◊ of the dance-off in episode 10. She has been quite vocal about her love for the show on social media, cosplayed as Yuri (using an actual Team Japan jacket), and had art drawn of her, Victor, and Yuri, by the series creator. A Blink-and-You-Miss-It moment in episode 12: Yuzuru Hanyu appears on the cover of an Ice Jewels magazine in his Let's Go Crazy costume, striking J.J.'s trademark pose along with the Canadian. note Hanyu's Canadian home rink is the Toronto Cricket Club. J.J.'s home rink, as it appears in the anime, resembles TCC.

Yuri!!! on Ice / int_1c3d047e	comment	Yurio is set up as Yuri's big Rival in the first episode. He even has all of the hallmarks of a typical sports anime rival: a Teen Genius, the best skater in the junior division, a connection to the main cast, and even a bit of a temper problem. You think that the story would be about them fighting neck-and-neck against each other... but after Episode 3, they don't meet in competition again until the Rostelecom Cup. Both Yuris have very different paths to follow in their competition season, meaning that they don't see each other often, and Yuri doesn't really see Yurio as a rival at all. Until Episode 8, the most one hears about the other is from the news.

Yuri!!! on Ice / int_1c445e86	comment	Poor Communication Kills: The most cliched variations of this are avoided, but there are still occasional problems for the three protagonists. Yuri didn't inform Victor of his decision that this would be his last season (even though the audience has known this almost from the start). His poor coach/fiancé does not take the news well. Victor somehow manages to go the best part of a year without telling Yuri that they met at last year's Grand Prix banquet, got on like a house on fire, flirted madly and spent the night dancing together. Afterwards, Yuri invited Victor to his home and begged him to become his coach. Thus, Yuri's completely baffled as to why Victor turned up out of the blue, and Victor's left wondering why he's getting the cold shoulder. Yurio's main communication style is "angry," and so Yuri is utterly unaware of the fact that Yurio looks up to him — instead, Yurio is so disappointed when he finds Yuri crying after his Grand Prix Final disaster that he impulsively lets loose a tirade of abuse and tells him to quit... which is utterly counterproductive, since Yurio really wanted to see Yuri skate a flawless program.

Yuri!!! on Ice / int_3ed23024	comment	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Despite being able to mimic Victor's impressive programs, Yuri is hampered by his tendency to comfort eat. In most sports anime, that would be a cute quirk... but Yuri isn't a rookie teenager, he's a professional athlete and his food preferences count against him, even though it's fairly mundane rather than obviously unhealthy. Yurio is set up as Yuri's big Rival in the first episode. He even has all of the hallmarks of a typical sports anime rival: a Teen Genius, the best skater in the junior division, a connection to the main cast, and even a bit of a temper problem. You think that the story would be about them fighting neck-and-neck against each other... but after Episode 3, they don't meet in competition again until the Rostelecom Cup. Both Yuris have very different paths to follow in their competition season, meaning that they don't see each other often, and Yuri doesn't really see Yurio as a rival at all. Until Episode 8, the most one hears about the other is from the news.

Yuri!!! on Ice / int_424d15ad	comment	Love Hurts: Examined in various ways: Yuri and Victor become the lights of each other's lives... but that also means that they have the power to emotionally destroy the other with an insensitive or misguided remark. The already-anxiety prone Yuri spends the whole series dreading the seemingly inevitable (to him) loss of Victor once his coach's interest wanes, or the pull of the ice rink calls him back to Russia. Meanwhile, Victor, who seems to have dodged the extremes of love and heartbreak up until now, falls to pieces when it looks like he might lose Yuri. They work through it. Georgi has not coped well with his recent break-up, and it informs not only his short program but the majority of his characterization. On a familial level, Yurio adores his grandfather, but the man isn't always able to be there when his grandson needs him. When he lets Yurio down, the normally self-motivated teenager's confidence takes a major hit.

They are both talented and hardworking, but their differences as skaters are highlighted during their competition during Episode 3: Yurio's performance is perfect from a technical point of view, but he struggles to convey the emotional theme of his program. On the other hand, Yuri fumbles some jumps, but he expresses the theme of his program perfectly. As is usual with this trope, the latter wins the competition. A bit of Truth in Television, since unlike most examples of this trope, figure skating actually does have two point categories – one for technical skills and one for the more theatrical elements expressed during the performance. Yuri Katsuki even explicitly states that he relies on the second category to make up for his weakness in the first, so once Victor helps him clean up his technical, it's no surprise that he becomes a bit of a point-scoring monster.

Yuri!!! on Ice / int_57a9e2af	comment	The Four Loves: Two form the character arcs of Yuri and Yurio, beginning from the "Hot Springs on Ice" showdown in Episode 3. The two Yuris need to skate to two similar pieces, with one representing eros and the other agape. However, Victor decides to assign the shy, insecure Yuri the seductive Eros program, while the hot-blooded and temperamental Yurio gets the innocent Agape program. It's done to give the boys a chance to branch out from their usual styles of skating, and to make them look inside themselves for emotions they can use in their skating for future projects. As Yuri's program centers around the concept of love, it stands to reason that he's looking at it from all angles as well. He recognizes the love he receives from his family and friends, and he describes his feelings toward Victor as a sort of "love" as well, since he's the first person that Yuri wanted to keep a hold of. That latter love eventually develops into a romantic relationship. The other two loves, storge (familial love) and philia (brotherly love), do make small appearances in the story. Episode 9 showcases an unhealthy case of storge with the Crispino siblings and Michele's inability to let go of his sister, and Episode 10 presented philia through Yurio finding a genuine friend who admired him in Otabek.

Yuri!!! on Ice / int_57efd4c4	type	Growing Up Sucks
Yuri!!! on Ice / int_57efd4c4	comment	Growing Up Sucks: The teen-to-young-adult transition and young-adult-to-"proper"-adult transitions pose problems for the main cast: Yurio is the most striking example: his skating style relies on his delicate looks and a degree of flexibility that the older skaters don't have. However, as Episode 4 makes clear, he knows that he's on borrowed time in this regard. He doesn't have long until puberty changes his body drastically, and this will probably cost him many of the techniques that were part of his repertoire. After years of training to get as good as he is, he'll probably have to start relearning — or at least drastically adjusting — his whole approach to skating. Yuri's faint-heartedness and lack of direction really come back to bite him once he finishes university. Losing the fallback of being a student, coupled with the demands of his sport favoring younger competitors over older ones, means that adulthood hits him like a brick. He's already reasonably independent (he's lived abroad for years), but when faced with the question of "what do you want to do with your life?" he retreats back to his family home, chasing what little comfort and security he can find. He's too old to be able to rely on someone else stepping in to guide him, but he's still young enough to need guidance. Thank goodness that a certain Russian shows up when he does. Speaking of Victor, it's easy to forget that he's still fairly young himself. At his age (27), few people would even be thinking about the word "retirement," but he's already considered a bit of a dinosaur in the skating community, with everyone else measuring their age and seniority against his. Throughout the series, he's forced to consider what he really wants to do, and what life after skating might hold for him.

Yuri!!! on Ice / int_58d31a8b	type	Body Motifs
Yuri!!! on Ice / int_58d31a8b	comment	Body Motifs: You may expect the focus to be on feet and legs, given the sport, but in reality there is much more attention paid to hands, especially in a romantic context: Victor's aria, "Stammi Vicino", references both hands and feet and in the pair skate with Yuri, the characters' choreography matches up with the lyrics. While subtle, a fair amount of attention is focused on Yuri and Victor's feet, particularly during intense or crucial scenes in the show, and this symbolizes their developing relationship. In Episode 3, when Victor makes a not-so-subtle pass at Yuri, their feet (which are both in skates) is shown beforehand, indicating that on the ice, they are able to see eye-to-eye — which isn't the case off the ice, since later in the episode, when their feet is shown once more, only Yuri is wearing skates, while Victor is wearing normal shoes. Upon their reunion in Episode 9 however, the audience is given a brief shot of their feet, which are both in normal footwear — indicating that they are now on the same page even when skating isn't concerned. When Victor flirts with Yuri, the focus is on his hands, running his hand down Yuri's arm in Episode 2, for example, or caressing his face and lips in Episode 3. About halfway through the series, Yuri and Victor make a ritual of holding hands and/or entwining their fingers before Yuri heads on to the ice. In the final episode, faced with Yuri's retirement, Victor is slow to release his grip. The final flourish of Yuri's free skate is extending his left hand towards Victor, with his right hand over his heart. The symbolism is not subtle. Of particular significance is Episode 5, where the gesture is performed for the first time, catches Victor off-guard, and is probably the first instance of Yuri "reaching back" in response to Victor's flirtation and the final episode, where the final performance of the program is accompanied by extended focus on Yuri's hands and his Held Gaze with Victor. The pair rings, which shine and sparkle constantly, draw even more attention to the characters' hands. Victor wears gloves to every event as part of his "coach outfit." However, once they put on the rings, the gloves go missing to show off Victor's ring in the final two episodes. In accordance with this, there are many shots of Victor's hands in these episodes. On a less warm and fluffy note, hands also signal when the characters are enraged. Yurio's violent gestures and death grip on whatever he's holding are fairly prominent, but so is Victor's tremor when he grips Yurio's chin after the teenager insults Victor and Yuri.

Yuri!!! on Ice / int_5ce7dbb9	comment	Central Theme: Time, and its lack thereof. The premise of the show is about a man who's almost at the end of his career, but is given the chance to make a splash with his presumed final year. Time isn't on Yurio or Victor's sides, either— Yurio's youthful frame is part of what gives him an edge over other competitors and he will, inevitably, grow out of them, and Victor's very quickly approaching retirement. Even the ending theme, "You Only Live Once", invokes the theme. Perhaps most strongly, love. Yuri states in the beginning that he wishes to regain his "love for skating". Victor meets Yuri though a video of him skating his "Stay Close to Me" program, a romantic song originally commissioned by Victor himself. One of Yuri's performances is inspired by eros, sexual love, and his other performance is about his journey of finding love. Yuri even decides to make his competition theme "love". Both of his programs slowly evolve to reflect his growing relationship with Victor. On the other hand, Yurio's performance centers around agape, unconditional love, and he eventually connects this to his relationship with his grandfather. Many of the skaters dance out of love for something or someone — e.g. Georgi skates as a desperate plea for his ex-girlfriend Anya; Michele, out of a codependency with his sister; even out of love for oneself (J.J.). In short, the entire concept of "love", in all its forms, both unhealthy and healthy, runs rampant throughout the show. The gap between perception and reality also features quite a bit, particularly with regard to how people see themselves, what others think of them, and reality. The most obvious case is Yuri, who thinks he's an unremarkable skater with no friends who got the temporary attention of his idol through freak chance, when in reality he's a skilled (if under-confident) skater who's well-thought of by his peers and whose idol not only thinks the world of him, but has been smitten with him for a year. Victor showcases another side of the coin, viewed as the untouchable, flirtatious king of the ice by his fans and as a fickle, selfish Bunny-Ears Lawyer by his peers, when in reality he's been bored and lonely for a while now, until a certain banquet happens. Yurio struggles with his own self-image too: he's thought of as "cute" by his fans and even his coaches play up his "delicate and graceful" image, when he's really a spitfire who wants to be thought of as ferocious, not sweet.

Sara acknowledges that they are rather codependent and knows that they need some distance, and she tells Michele this in no uncertain terms in Episode 9. This makes Michele realize that truly loving his sister means that he needs to let her live her own life, and he uses that realization to fuel his feelings during his free program, putting on a fantastic performance without her near the rink.

Yuri!!! on Ice / int_6adf60d1	comment	In the early episodes, Victor is set up to look somewhat duplicitous, if not outright suspicious. He's seen with Hidden Eyes, Dissonant Serenity shots and many a Cheshire Cat Grin, which would (and did) lead the audience to believe that he was using Yuri to further his skating career and would eventually hurt his protege when this was revealed. As it turns out, nothing could be further from his mind. Victor's not setting up a Xanatos Gambit at all, he's just a Determinator in love, and the crossed wires that make him look suspicious are largely a combination of Unreliable Narrator, Poor Communication Kills and a Forgotten First Meeting. He wasn't using Yuri to further his skating, he was using his skating to get close to Yuri — and even then, he absolutely keeps his word to coach Yuri, with great success.

Yuri!!! on Ice / int_6bda9a30	comment	Meaningful Name: The Nishigori triplets are named Axel, Lutz and Loop — after the three most important skating jumps. Yuri's family name, Katsuki, means "born to win". Yuri's given name means "courage". Victor's name is fairly obvious, meaning "winner" in English... even the Russian spelling, Viktor, has the same meaning. His family name, Nikiforov, comes from the Greek name Nikephoros, which means "bringer of victory". J.J.'s last name "Leroy" is an old spelling of "Leroi" which translates (from French) to "the King," which is what he calls himself. Yurio's family name, Plisetsky, is possibly a shoutout to Soviet-born prima ballerina, choreographer, director, and actress Maya Plisetskaya... who may have served as inspiration for Lilia Baranovskaya.

Turns out he has some experience playing Russians, since he was the personification of the country in the Hetalia: Axis Powers dub. And Russia is quite possessive towards Lithuania, voiced by Josh Grelle (Yuri) too. On a lesser note, Celestino (Yuri's former coach), who is Italian-American, is voiced by Ian Sinclair, who also voices South Italy in the same anime as above. Almost a meta-example, but this is about the third time that Jun'ichi Suwabe voices a character from a sports anime who is acknowledged as good-looking In-Universe and the ace of all aces in the featured sport. Fourth, if cooking counts as well.

The same could be said of Victor, whose costume from the Junior World Championship was meant to evoke "both male and female genders at once".

In one fell swoop, it drastically changed every preconception the viewers had about the show's main trio. Victor isn't malicious, out to ruin Yuri's career, or dying. He became Yuri's coach because Yuri asked him to. Yuri can be seductive in the persona of Eros, yes. But he's... a fun drunk, it turns out. And capable of great feats like executing pole dancing moves perfectly, and win a dance off, while having a lot of champagne in his system. He ended the scene cozying up to Victor, basically grinding on him, while an entire ballroom - complete with a half-naked Chris and a fuming Yurio - was staring. A far cry from the skittishly frightened and awed Nikiforov fanboy we meet earlier. Yurio claimed to have been dragged into the danceoff. He was very clearly enjoying himself, from what the photos show. And his fuming while Yuri was, uh, getting closely acquainted with Victor, can be taken as a sign of the Episode 12 reveal that he actually admired Yuri all along.

This usually means that the viewer is well-aware of when Yuri is on the verge of a breakdown or Freak Out long before the other characters are. Made especially obvious in Episode 11, where Victor comments on Yuri's new confidence and his determined appearance, while the viewer knows that Yuri is an anxious mess in desperate need of Victor's reassurance. This only gets worse when he sees Victor's enthusiasm for the other skaters, yet the final scene implies that Victor didn't realize anything was wrong.

Yuri!!! on Ice / int_8797239c	type	Bait-and-Switch
Yuri!!! on Ice / int_8797239c	comment	Bait-and-Switch: When Yuri goes back to his old skating rink, he runs into Yuko, his old rinkmate and childhood friend. When thinking about her, he smiles and thinks about how she's "still really cute", and we even get a flashback montage of their relationship together and their mutual admiration of Victor. After he performs Victor's championship free program for Yuko, he looks as if he's about to confess to her... and in pop Axel, Lutz, and Loop, her daughters by their mutual rinkmate Takeshi. It turns out she had settled down in the five years he was away, and he's already seen the kids before. Sometimes boys and girls are just friends. The romantic framing is strong enough here that a lot of fans think he did actually admit to having a crush on Yuko, because on first watch, that's where it feels like it's going. On rewatch, though, not only do you notice that Yuri never says anything like that (he only calls her "cute" and mentions that he grew up admiring her), but that with how the scene cuts between Yuri and Victor's performance, the romantic framing really isn't about Yuko at all. There are other small details too, like the way the lyrics of the song in Italian involve a man's love for another man. It's a pretty brilliant way of trolling viewers' heteronormative expectations. The story of Yuri's Eros program. At first, you'd think that the story represents Victor sweeping Yuri off his feet and then leaving for bigger and better things. Episode 10 shows it's actually the reverse: it was Yuri who initially impressed and charmed Victor while he was drunk, and he "cast him away" not because he was disinterested, but because he doesn't remember what happened that night. In the early episodes, Victor is set up to look somewhat duplicitous, if not outright suspicious. He's seen with Hidden Eyes, Dissonant Serenity shots and many a Cheshire Cat Grin, which would (and did) lead the audience to believe that he was using Yuri to further his skating career and would eventually hurt his protege when this was revealed. As it turns out, nothing could be further from his mind. Victor's not setting up a Xanatos Gambit at all, he's just a Determinator in love, and the crossed wires that make him look suspicious are largely a combination of Unreliable Narrator, Poor Communication Kills and a Forgotten First Meeting. He wasn't using Yuri to further his skating, he was using his skating to get close to Yuri — and even then, he absolutely keeps his word to coach Yuri, with great success.

Other examples would be: Yuri or Yuuri? Viktor or Victor? Jean-Jacques or Jean-Jack? In relation to the songs, some people use "In Regards To Love: Eros/Agape" and others "On Love: Eros/Agape". It seems that the Japanese original tends to the former, while translations and the English dub tend to the latter.

In general, Yuko seems to be this, seeing as that she's a woman who regularly fangirls and nosebleeds over Victor, who's considered the most attractive man in the cast. In the final episode, we get an audience surrogate in the audience — the almighty cheer/squeal heard when Victor joins Yuri for his exhibition skate is one that is echoed in many a real-life reaction video.

Yuri!!! on Ice / int_9d12bbc1	type	Foreshadowing
Yuri!!! on Ice / int_9d12bbc1	comment	Foreshadowing: Several regarding Yuri and Victor's eventual Relationship Upgrade into the Official Couple: In the very first episode, Victor's program and Yuri copying it overlap to the sound of "Stay Close To Me". The song foreshadows the future of the relationship between them as the song actually narrates a romance between two men. In Episode 3, Victor seems like he is about to kiss Yuri, something the shot even makes it looks like. In Episode 7, extremely similar shots are used when Victor does kiss Yuri, but in a more dramatic way. In Episode 4, Victor asks Yuri what he wants him to be to him, starting with "father figure" and ending with "lover". When Yuri nails his short program performance in Episode 6, the commentator for the event declares that "Love wins!" as a callback to Yuri's chosen theme for the season, but the phrase was also a heavily-publicized hashtag used during the course of the Supreme Court case that ultimately gave same-sex couples across the United States the right to marry, giving the impression that Yuri and Victor's relationship is romantic. Also in Episode 7, earlier in the episode, when Yuri is crying in the parking lot, Victor straight-up offers to kiss Yuri to make him feel better. Yuri declines, not out of disgust or a distaste for the idea, but because what he wants right now is for Victor to have faith in him. In Episode 4, Takeshi and Yuko joke that many skating fans might be hating Yuri now since they believe that he "stole Victor from [figure skating]". Episodes 6 and 8 show that there really is some resentment towards Yuri from Victor's fans because of this. In Episode 6, Victor tells his dog Makkachin not to eat his steamed buns while he's away with Yuri. In Episode 8, Makkachin does eat them and gets some stuck in his throat as a result, putting him in critical condition and forcing Victor to go back to Japan to make sure he's alright. In Episode 9, Mila remarks that Victor's presence affects Yuri's skating ability and mentions that one can imagine what kind of performance he'd bring out if Victor were there with him. Cut to Episode 12 and Yuri delivers his most breathtaking performance of his free program with Victor there with him and supporting him wholeheartedly. In the Episode 10 preview, Yuri says that he'll get something round and golden for Victor. There were many guesses but as it turns out, Yuri gives him a golden engagement ring. With the revelation in Episode 10 that at their real Forgotten First Meeting Yuri had drunkenly hit on Victor but forgot about it the next morning, all of Victor's questions about Yuri's love life and all the flirting makes more sense. He wasn't just teasing Yuri, he was straight up hitting on him, as he was already infatuated with him since the beginning. In Episode 10 itself, Victor narrates an incident where Yurio makes his first friend. Otabek, the reticent skater from Kazakhstan, has a history with Yurio which the Russian has entirely forgotten: they trained together for one summer, and while Yurio doesn't remember it, he left such an impression on Otabek that the unsociable skater seeks him out when he has the opportunity. A few minutes later, we learn that Yuri and Victor are in a similar situation. They spent one night talking and dancing together which culminated in Yuri begging Victor to be his coach. Yuri, who was drunk at the time, doesn't remember a thing... but it's one of the defining moments of Victor's life, as he falls for Yuri that night and seeks him out again the instant an opportunity arises. In Episode 8, one of the reporters asks Victor if he would like to face Yuri as a competitor someday, to which Victor deflects the question by drawing the attention to Yurio (who was nearby). By Episode 12, Victor decides to resume his career as a figure skater and Yuri changes his mind about retiring, which means that they'll compete together for the next season. Yuri's shown with bare, injured feet that aren't consistent with figure skating or ballet, but with pole dancing. This foreshadows his ability to pole dance perfectly while incredibly drunk in Episode 10.

Yurio is aggressive, active in social media and a natural prodigy in ice-skating and ballet, while Otabek is stoic, outright dislikes social media, and initially struggled with ballet before eventually leaving it and had to undergo a lot of training to become a skilled skater as compensation. Yurio also has one with Yuko. Yurio is irritable and usually very rude to other people, while Yuko is friendly and kind to everyone (at least when her daughters aren't testing her patience).

This is much less depressing example however, since Yurio wins only by a 0.12-point difference, both of them broke a world record during this competition, and Yurio was driven to win so that Yuri wouldn't retire just yet and would continue skating for another season, which is exactly what happens.

He's also almost thirty and thus close to retirement, and as a common occupation of retired athletes is coaching, he might be interested in trying this himself. Oddly enough, his brotherly attitude is just one of many personalities he has to teach Yuri with, and Victor even asks him what type of mentor he wants him to be. Midway through the series, though, and particularly after the grand banquet sequence in Episode 10, we know for certain that to be this was never what he intended, at least with Yuri.

Yuri!!! on Ice / int_aba8065b	comment	Fatal Flaw: Everyone has one: Yuri and his confidence issues. He's an excellent skater, but when it comes to competitions, he can't handle the pressure and he chokes at the last second. He also lacks the drive to ask for what he really wants to do, resulting in a poorer performance. His anxiety and low opinion of himself only make way for even more flaws. Yurio is fine technically, but lacks the emotion in his programs to truly stand out on top. He'll get himself too focused on landing his moves that he forgets to tell a story with his skating. Though Victor is a famous skater who's loved by many and has a lot of natural charisma, he tends to be Innocently Insensitive and lacking in emotional intelligence, not knowing how to deal with people who are in distress. This comes to a head in Episode 7, when he tries to scare Yuri out of his anxious funk by saying that he'll quit being his coach if he doesn't make the podium, but all that does is make Yuri break down in tears. Yakov mentions that Georgi's programs, while flashy, have a giant component that Victor's programs lacked a lot of the time. It's implied that that "something" is honesty, or the ability to convey his true feelings through his skating.

He's skating while fully aware of this fact. Episode 12 eventually subverts this, as he changes his mind and decides to skate for another season, with Victor as both his coach and his rival.

The triplets' explanation of the Grand Prix also includes one drawing◊ of the real-life top six men at the 2015 Grand Prix Final. From left to right we have Boyang Jin, Patrick Chan, Javier Fernandez, Yuzuru Hanyu, Shoma Uno, and Daisuke Murakami. They even drew the free skate costumes, and the medalists are drawn in the correct podium order!◊ In Episode 7, a younger Victor wears an outfit that is a homage to Johnny Weir. Additionally, the blue flower crown Victor wears in the same episode, along with Christophe's red flower crown in Episode 12, is also a homage to the flower crown Johnny Weir wore in the Vancouver Olympics. The song Phichit skates to for his short program is called "Shall We Skate?" from his favorite movie "The King and the Skater", which is a clear reference to The King and I and one of its best-known songs, "Shall We Dance?". Also, note that The King and I is about a European woman falling in love with a Thai king, and Phichit himself is Thai. Mitsurou Kubo posted the synopsis of "The King and the Skater", which changes the story to a European man, and adds Time Travel and card games. In Episode 8, J.J. is shown posing with his skates◊ in a similar way◊ to a pose done by Czech skater Michal Březina. At the end of the preview for Episode 8, Victor says "From Russia with love". Victor◊ is pictured wearing Plushenko's◊ 2006 Olympic gold medal. Otabek's bear, which was noted by his real life counterpart Denis Ten himself; it also bears a resemblance to the titular Ted. A Freeze-Frame Bonus in South Park which referenced the show was reciprocated in Episode 12, when a young J.J. wears Cartman's iconic coat and hat◊ in a flashback. During previous Grand Prix Final, Yuri was wearing an outfit◊ similar to that of Daisuke Takahashi's◊. In one of Yuri's posters of Victor, Victor wears an outfit and various jewelries similar to that of King Henry VIII. In another In-Universe poster, Victor is seen in an outfit similar to the one◊ Canadian skater Jeffrey Buttle wore in the 2006 Winter Olympics. A drawing from the official staff book has Yuri and Yurio directly parodying the poster of Blades of Glory. Yuri and Victor's pair skate at the end of the last episode has several moves taken from ice dancers Virtue/Moir's free dance at the 2016 GPF. When Axel proposes that she and her sisters organize the Hot Springs on Ice event in Episode 2, there's a moment where she briefly cosplays as Stalker from Mobile Fighter G Gundam, complete with eyepatch. Doubling as an Actor Allusion: Mamoru Miyano did a little "re-arrangement". "In the Name of the Moon... JJ STYLE!!! (uproarious laughter)" He was in Sailor Moon Crystal as Prince Dimande, and Kenji Nojima (Seung-gil) was Mamoru Chiba/Tuxedo Mask. Victor's habit of putting a finger to his lips and standing with his hip cocked to one side resembles Stéphane Lambiel. In Lambiel's cameo as a commentator, he does the same pose as well.

Yuri!!! on Ice / int_ef3d1b57	comment	Technician Versus Performer: Downplayed with the two Yuris. They are both talented and hardworking, but their differences as skaters are highlighted during their competition during Episode 3: Yurio's performance is perfect from a technical point of view, but he struggles to convey the emotional theme of his program. On the other hand, Yuri fumbles some jumps, but he expresses the theme of his program perfectly. As is usual with this trope, the latter wins the competition. A bit of Truth in Television, since unlike most examples of this trope, figure skating actually does have two point categories – one for technical skills and one for the more theatrical elements expressed during the performance. Yuri Katsuki even explicitly states that he relies on the second category to make up for his weakness in the first, so once Victor helps him clean up his technical, it's no surprise that he becomes a bit of a point-scoring monster. Other characters also showcase this trope: Yuri calls Phichit a born entertainer, and Phichit's goal isn't really competition-based: ultimately, he wants his own ice show to demonstrate how fun skating is. On the other end of the scale, Seung-Gil Lee is constantly calculating his points as he skates.

Yuri!!! on Ice / int_f06b07ff	type	Locked Out of the Loop
Yuri!!! on Ice / int_f06b07ff	comment	Locked Out of the Loop: A major source of headaches for the characters: Yuri is oblivious to the events of last year's banquet, despite nearly every other finalist remembering him as the life of the party. He wasn't deliberately locked out of the loop, but no-one realized he was too drunk to remember the events of that night, and avoided posting the pictures on social media out of respect. Victor is oblivious to his skater's career plans: Yuri makes it known to the audience from the beginning that he intends this year to be his last year in competitive skating, and according to Christophe there have been rumors about Yuri's retirement in the skating community. When Victor finds out though, he's nothing short of devastated. More pragmatically, younger skaters, or those who are new to particular levels of the competition circuit, usually have to be filled in on what went on the previous year. Phichit, for example, needs to catch up on the events behind the scenes of the previous year's Grand Prix Final, because he wasn't there.

Yuri!!! on Ice / int_fbd5fda1	comment	Friendly Rivalry: Yuri seems to have this with the skaters we see in Episode 6, especially Phichit, Guang-Hong and Leo. They're seen supporting each other throughout the whole competition. At times, his relationship with Yurio can be this, although their overall relationship remains rocky, what with Yurio's temper and insensitivity, as well as Yuri's lack of self-esteem. Victor and Christophe have this kind of relationship. Despite being rivals who have been competing against each other for about ten years, Episode 11 shows that they're still on good terms when off the ice, and Victor admits that he can't imagine being in a competition without Christophe .

Yuri!!! on Ice / int_fcdf597b	comment	Titled After the Song: In Episode 4, Yuri decides that "Yuri on Ice" will be the name of the piece of music he's skating to for his free program. The piece itself is meant to embody his career as a skater, which is especially important since he believes that this will be his last season.

Yuri!!! on Ice / int_ff17ccf1	comment	Though Victor is a famous skater who's loved by many and has a lot of natural charisma, he tends to be Innocently Insensitive and lacking in emotional intelligence, not knowing how to deal with people who are in distress. This comes to a head in Episode 7, when he tries to scare Yuri out of his anxious funk by saying that he'll quit being his coach if he doesn't make the podium, but all that does is make Yuri break down in tears.

Yuri!!! on Ice / int_ff473450	comment	Failed Audition Plot: Yuri gets his big break in the form of finally getting to the Sochi Grand Prix Final and competing against his idol, Victor Nikiforov. He crashes and burns, placing dead last, and messes up the rest of the skating season. Thanks to Victor showing up to be his coach, he recovers and ends the next GPF as the silver medalist (by the razor-thin margin of 0.12 points), breaking a world record - set by a Living Legend - in the process.

Yuri!!! on Ice / int_ff5a74c8	comment	Talking Is a Free Action: Played with. They do not talk out loud while they're skating, though each skater has their own internal monologue that lasts as long as their programs and is usually the real-time analysis of their own performance so far and how to make up for mistakes they've made or keep up a good skate, so the show employs a more realistic example of this trope.

Yuri!!! on Ice / int_ffad4e9f	type	Shown Their Work
Yuri!!! on Ice / int_ffad4e9f	comment	Shown Their Work: They go absolutely hard with the explanations for how competitions work, and each jump and maneuver during the skating programs is labelled correctly. The programs themselves are choreographed by former ice dancer Kenji Miyamoto. In Episode 10, they also put in a surprising amount of research in regards to pole dancing, of all things. The pole dancing moves done by Yuri and Christophe are not only accurate and have been identified as such by viewers who know how to pole dance, but said moves are also very difficult to pull off in real life. The research is so good that it's actually recognizable which figure skaters were used as the inspirations for their skating based on the characters skating styles. Yuri is a sensual "sexy" skater with strong high jumps, which strongly alludes to Daisuke Takahashi. Although Victor's backstory as a legendary figure skating champion would fit very well with Evgeni Plushenko's, it's actually Yurio whose skating style fits with his the closest. They are both incredible prodigies that have a fast, agile skating style with powerful jumps and high flexibility. Victor's skating style seems to be based of off Stephane Lambiel, who was known for his elegant, yet manly skating style and his incredible spins in his active years. Someone went through the trouble and animated over a show program that Takahashi and Lambiel skated together, and it fits Yuri and Victor to a tee.
