 Once we seize space, we'll all... |
| woow I'm really surprised ! I was wanting them to be canon, but that much ? :o Anyway it's nice to see the characters out of the competition a little, I liked it a lot ! Also, loved the scene between Yurio and Victor, I think we need more of those, I want to know more about their relationship |
 |
| How are we supposed to wait another week for the next episode after this... |
| PLAY THIS ON MY BIRTHDAY,WEDDING, FUNERAL...EVERYDAY. JUST..THE ENTIRE THING..OVER AND OVER AGAIN... Sorry I just...I will never get over this show fking kill me |
| That ending actually changes things up a lot since it means that Viktor know about Yuri before his video went viral. Yuri didn't remember interacting with Viktor especially like doing couple dances with him and asking him to be his coach lol. But Viktor must have been surprised when Yuuri got flustered about his flirting and avoided him in the beginning lol. Also it might mean that Viktor was if not in love with Yuuri, but had at least interested of him a while before flying to become his coach. So it wasn't quite that impulsive decision as it seemed. |
| THAT ENDING THOOO |
 |
| Oh gawd!!! SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations on your engagement/marriage, Viktor and Yuri!! That ED! Yuri and Chris killed it on the pole! I do believe I died and went to Shounen Ai heaven for a bit. So, it was a drunk Yuri that started it all? Brilliant!! I'm going to watch this again, and again, and again, and again... |

I will say this though was not aware of just how persistent yuri's fans really are until they started sniffing for his trail. I am so happy for them <3 was not expecting this so soon was hopping it would happen by the finals. oh those bastards they knew what they were doing when they made that scene, the rings, the music, taking place in a church, making it the perfect setting for a wedding. as if this show doesn't tease that enough now there just toying with us and I love them for that. don't add real life logic into this, anime has it's own rules real life rules don't apply to anime. also just let us have this don't try to ruin something beautiful. Good point, overthinking it i guess. And im not trying to ruin it, as i said, i find this to be very nice. buuuut gay marriage is legal in Barcelona ;)) |

Thess said: weebna said: honestly I'm so not a fan of shounen ai or yaoi but VICTUURI IS SO CUTE GRUSBGRSOGB IM SO HAPPY FOR THEM I'm not fan of BL either, but I enjoy relationships with legitimate tenderness and chemistry of any gender. Yuuri and Viktor lack the forced archetypes of generic relationships (BL, like yuri and hetero romance have them). That's why they are enjoyable. well said my dear Sir/Maam! |
| damn this is falling apart for me |
 |
| Oh my god! Okay, it's happening! Everybody stay calm! Everybody stay calm! Stay fucking calm! Everybody just fuck the calm down! |
| Okay, tbh I'm not 100% sure that they aren't just trolling us fangirls.... I mean seriously... an engagement? On tumblr we all were like '"Yeah it's gonna be a ring" but hell noone thought it actually was gonna be a ring. xDD What the hell. And also those pictures at the end... a liiiiiitle too much I say. xD But anyway I fangirled through this episode so hard that I need to rest a little now. xDD Hilarious, absolutely hilarious. But also somehow... intense. The scene with Victor and Yurio at the end, and also Yuuri's face while he was walking to the final. Ah maaaan I love this anime so much it gives me so many feels. >< |
| Ok, again I have to be that one person in this thread: there were no romantic feelings involved in this episode. Not at all. Kudos to the director to be a master of teasing. But no. Just no. This episode was the perfect example to show how they play everything 'romantic' as a joke. Just look how the whole tone changes when they bring the marriage thing up. Even in-universe they don't take it seriously. No gay-marriage, sorry. I totally doubt that there's love involved between Yuri and Victor. The ring is a token of appreciation. The narration made it clear. Nonetheless it was an interesting episode. I really like Otabek. And the Yuri Plisetsky fangirls are quite an accurate representation of the YOI fandom. 9/10. P.S.: I'm convinced Chris is gay. 100%. |
| Pretty entertaining episode, I hope every competitor does his best. |
 |
| Okay legit curious, is everyone just 5/5'ing this for the engagement bait? Because discounting that one scene this was by far the most boring episode of the entire anime thus far to me... |

Elika said: Yuuri literally is engaged to his idol because of getting blackout drunk at a banquet…that's a wild story to tell about how he met his husband And that, kids, is how I met your Dad. Seriously though, I never expected something like this. Especially that ending that changes the way of how you see things from the beginning. This show gets better and better at every episode. |
| Amazing episode as always, if you call this a filler or recap it's how perfect filler or recap should be made , the team behind this anime is great they really know what are they doing, I hope we could get 1 or 2 original animes like this one every session. i believe animes should have more and more original works and less from mangas And also great use of social media in this anime , and as every one already said its the best ending ever. |

| BORN TO MAKE HISTORY. 1000000/10. Loved that Otabek and Yurio moment (finally, Otabek!! Hosoyan!!!!!). Sweet children. Viktor goes back to Japan? |

| Well I can't wait for the constant nay-sayers to say it's not a real engagement because of x, y and z. Because I know they're out there...I suppose half of them are eating their words right now. Even I didn't believe it'd happen but there it is, engaged victuri. I guess I can stop looking both ways before I cross the street now because I can die happy. Seriously though, they have the cutest relationship I've ever seen. I really enjoyed this relaxed episode with no skating, a break from all the tension because I was sure feeling it. It was great and much needed to see things from Victor's point of view, I wish they had gone a bit more into his head but I think this suffices. Now their backstory is laid out more. Yuri...Oh no. I was so embarrassed for the little piglet at the end there haha. He still dances pretty good while drunk, but even still lol. At least his friends only use it as playful teasing. |

zeffyra_zei said: ..um... sorry to ruin the moment...but am i the only one to observe that victor is hiding sumthing behind the smiles and the flirty gestures? I smell a plot twist sumday...😄 He is hiding the fact that he's gay... oops, wrong anime... |
| Guys, I can't watch it. I barely got thorugh the church scene, and now I paused just after Chris noticed their rings. I can't omg I can't. Too many feels. How can there be so many feels in one ep?! |

The narration made it clear. What do you mean by 'tone changing'? It seemed to me that Victor and Yuri were taking things pretty seriously, and that they were just being shy about it. Well, we have first to determine what we are talking about here. What happened when they exchanged rings? Yuri explicitly stated it's a token of appreciation for Victor's work (as a coach). For 'everything' he has done. I don't see a marriage proposal here (if you take the dialogue literally). But of course the director is trying to tease the fandom pretty hard agaim by locating this scene in a 'romantic' scenery. Change of tone: As soon as other characters become aware of the rings the whole subject is treated as a joke. Just look at the reactions. Victors 'I marry him if he wins gold' is a funny remark to break the ice and end the akward situation. It is quite obvious he's joking. At least in my opinion. |

A wedding ring is nothing more than an ordinary golden ring. The director plays with the audience as usual. It's quite obvious. |
sooyong said: Did I watch a backwards video or something? Because I saw them put rings on each other's RIGHT hands, not left. Engagement/wedding rings go on the left hand. Ehh I was curious so I googled it: "the tradition of wearing the engagement and wedding ring on the fourth finger of the left hand continues here in the US. But there are some countries, says Zaven Ghanimian, CEO of Simon G Jewelry, where the ring finger of the right hand is the more popular choice for brides and grooms to wear their rings, like in Russia, Greece and Colombia." Make of that what you will. =O |
I can't believe there are still people who think Viktor and Yuuri are not in a romantic relationship after this episode ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |
VICTUURI IS CANON BOYS AND GIRLS |
Helenus said: The ring is a token of appreciation. The narration made it clear. The ring is a wedding ring. Yuuri's awkward and shy who has been running from relationships for 24 years, you should obviously pay attention to his characterization and how he deliberately bought an expensive as hell wedding ring which is a huge step for him. He's still afraid Viktor will leave him. No, he's convinced he will leave him. He has issues opening up to people and is afraid of his own feelings. Not sure why you're denying romantic feelings, it's canon he has romantic feelings for Viktor. He says so in his speech, which was badly translated by CR, I guess. He has platonic feelings too. |

Maybe they won't get officially married but will still be a couple? Or maybe they'll move somewhere else? I don't know. |
| There is no homophobia in this anime. Why would you care? The program Pitchit skates is an homosexual version of the King and I, the Skater and the King, which in real world Thai, that movie was forbidden and hated, in this AU world, it's loved by Thailand and it's actually a deep romantic bond between the King of Thailand and a male English Skater. |
| I see I'm late to the party but whatever. I really enjoyed this episode <3 YOU GUYS, it really was a ring, like hell I didn't think they would! And matching ones even~ Phichit making instant conclusions and congratulating them for their marriage. And he wasn't even surprised about it either, I love this guy xD And oh jeez, DRUNK YURI, boy I couldn't breathe xD It gives one an entire different image of Yuri. Like what are you doing on that pole? With Chris? Nearly naked? xD And him grinding up against Victor telling him to become his coach...this boy will be the death of me! Good to know more about the characters pre-anime and what probably started the whole idea of 'Victor-becoming-Yuri's-coach'! And yay! Happy dance pose! \(^♡^)/  |
KashiBien said: I wonder how people will try to no homo that one... They could have sex in the middle of the competition and there will still be people denying the fact that they're gay for each other. |
 You just lost the game |
| I just love those rings...(I don't care if they are "real" engagement rings or not, I'm just enjoying this moment ^^) Even if the show is no "typical" shounen ai, I think the romance is very nicely done. In a subtle but still very present way. ....and drunk Yuri is HILARIOUS!!!! |
