It wasn't just a day they were apart. Say the first event took place on a Saturday and that evening was when Yuuri got the call about Makkachin. Then the second event was on the Sunday and since Yuuri came in 4th it is likely he took place in the exhibition after the competion which adds another day to him being away. Then there is the plane ride back to Japan which in a straight flight is about 17 hours and longer if there are stops or change overs which adds maybe another day or two. So overall, Victor and Yuuri were apart for 3 to 4 days give or take Glad I am not the only one who thought of that. |
Fresh_Mint said: K O R E G A J J D A JJ plis have mercy Again, another great episode. The feels are getting stronger too with Yuri barely making it to the Grand Prix. It's one of those moments when you know they'll advance for sure but you still get all emotional and relieved when you see the character's feelings afterwards. And his hugging everyone... stop being so cute ;; I'm just loving Yuri more now. Yurio's really fired up now, losing twice to that Canadian demigod over there. I hope Yurio at least scores higher than him next time. But even then he'll probably be pissed if Yuri beats him ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Expecting great things at the Grand Prix for the love of jj I hope I can see Yuuri beat JJ, so that JJ wont underestimate Yuuri (since what he really want is to beat Victor, and see Yuuri just something that prevent Victor to go back to competition) and we all know Yuuri has quite a good stamina, he just need to practice more for his jumps. But JJ has shown why he is called King JJ in this episode, he is seriously just AMAZING |
| "It's only us pitchers who can prove for all to see that your gamecalling' choices ain't wrong, yeah?" Sawamura to Okumura before their first official practice game as a battery. |
| Something round and gold... As much as my heart wishes it was a ring, I think Yuuri is referring to a gold medal. I think that would make a great gift for Viktor too. Either way, I'm really hyped for the next episode. Also, has anyone noticed this:  |

| right..but... why tf was Michele Crispino in love with his sister wtf |
| Why aren't more people talking about how Mickey's love for his sister is borderline creepy? Like, I'm close with my siblings but goddamn I'm not IN LOVE with them.. it was kind of uncomfortable to watch tbh But I liked this episode overall, although they're all sort of starting to blend in with each other; there's a competition, people skate and think about their feelings and backstories, some people fuck up and Yuri wins/achieves his goals, Yuri and Victor have a gay moment. If this show doesn't start bringing something new to the table it'll just get boring.. |
| I'm starting to think that Yuri and Victor are actually gay for each other now... I liked the Italian brother and sister. It was kind of touching when she was moved to tears by her brother's performance and then those childhood flashbacks were cute. |
| Am i the only one here who got angry and Victor for setting aside his responsibility as a coach and support for Yuuri to go back to Japan (i know it was for his pet... and Yuuri told him to go... but still)??? I mean just like how Yurio's Grandpa is a source of inspiration and encouragement to him, so is Victor to Yuuri! Like i really got upset At least victor acknowledges that he has some growing to do as a coach  |
| Just now? Victor's character was based on an openly gay actor. |
| ever since i noticed the importance of yuri touching viktors bald spot, i cant help but get this feeling i got with Your Lie in April. I swear to God if something like that happens Im going to lose my shit |
| Guess I'm the only one here disappointed with this and the last couple of episodes. Well, one should never overly-hype. |
All people have their own sh*t tastes, therefore, there are no sh*t tastes, since everything is equally sh*t. A VERY LOGICAL PHILOSOPHY |
| The retirement talk sounds like Yuri is dying, or at least he won't be fit enough to skate anymore. |

Cross  AngeHey guys check my profile for current airing season anime recommendation (guaranteed best taste) |
| Jesus Fucking Christ, if I hear Yuri's song one more time I'm going to punch someone. It reminds me of that overused "it's a tender rain" song from Soredemo Sekai wa Utsukushii that was used in almost every single fucking episode. His performances ALWAYS look the same to me. His routine is getting boring, his face is getting boring and he's fucking titular character. Then again I also watch for other characters and not just him. I'm glad to see Lee Seunggil again. His bushy eyebrows, his cold demeanor. Usually, those kind of characters can be boring but in this case his character is actually refreshing because it seems like everyone around him acts like a mentally-retarded child. |

| H Bibimbapski said: His performances ALWAYS look the same to me. His routine is getting boring, his face is getting boring and he's fucking titular character. Hate to break it to you but that's how figure skating is. Skaters don't make a new routine for every single competition - that'd be ridiculous. They reuse them over and over. If it had been any other character we'd be seeing the same thing from them over the course of the entire season as well. |
Uiriamu_Busujima said: That's usually how figure skating is. 2 programs for the entire season.I really like this anime, it's hype is well deserved, but is anyone else annoyed/bored of Yuri doing the same two choreographs? The side characters have already done more choreographs than him lol. That's my only complaint for this show. I haven't been keeping track but I'm pretty sure each character introduced has skated at least two routines and no more. It only seems like they're doing more because we get 3 different ones in the middle of seeing Yuri's again. Even Yurio has only gotten two: the Agape and newer one. Had any other skater been the main character it wouldn't be any different. |
 Just thinking about how the anime's end getting closer T^T |

Had any other skater been the main character it wouldn't be any different. Everyone has had two. It's just that we haven't seen others repeated since they haven't been in multiple competitions with Yuri. In Grand Prix there is going to be many repeated one's though. Yuri's, Yurio's, Chrises, JJ's and Phichits. Only Otabek's are still unseen. |
GangsterCat said: ReaperCreeper said: victor is the one who's dying. 100%.The retirement talk sounds like Yuri is dying, or at least he won't be fit enough to skate anymore. You're 100% wrong... it was discussed loooonnng time before you! Kubo-sensei has already confirmed on twitter that none of her characters will die (in response to a Viktor death theory that's been running rampant around the jp fandom) Btw, after ep8, I'm more and more sure that Victor will announce his come back to the competition by the end of Grand Prix Final (he escaped the journalist question when he was interviewed in Moscow) So, I guess since Yuuri's dream has always been to fight with Victor on ice, and since he has a lot of stamina, never injured, still younger than Victor, Chris, Georgi... he will not retired if Victor is back! |
      |
| Tell me why this sports anime nails romance more than 95% of actual romance anime? Haha Cute, emotional episode! Loved when Yuri was trying to fulfill his hug quota after he got into the Grand Prix Final! And when Victor said, "I wish you'd never retire." AHHHH so good. Love this series so much ;-; |

Naoko_fmJPN said: The scene of the reunion at the airport was misunderstood as the feelings of their two passed each other. Yuuri decides to stay with Victor until the Grand Prix Final even though he can take a gold medal but can not take it. Meanwhile, Victor who pledged to be on the side until Yuuri's retirement does not know that the remaining time is so short. Victor was happy to be asked to coach to the end of the athlete's life, but for Yuuri it was a farewell confession. Yuuri is glad that Victor want him to stay with him forever for a long time, but he thinks have to make Victor free anymore. As the symbol of "You only LIve once" of ED song stands, the athlete's playing life is short and fleeting. Dang, that is depressing. I hope it doesn't come to this. Like, I get how Yuri doesn't want to keep Victor away from the ice but... I JUST DON'T WANT THEM TO BE APART </3 *making dying whale noises* |
SilverMuse said: Oh my god was this episode a rollercoaster. It had me laughing one second and crying the next. Yurio is absolutely adorable in this episode; those scenes he has with his grandpa, cheering for Yuri because he didn't want him to lose, and then bringing Yuri the pork cutlet Pirozkhi... (Aaaaand then he calls JJ a shithead during his performance lol) He probably hates to admit it, but he really does have a heart of gold. The scene where Yuri was hugging everyone after the competition was hilarious :') And don't even get me started on that ending scene. The reunion was beautifully executed! I love how Viktor and Yuri were running along the glass looking at each other before they finally jumped into each other's arms. You could literally feel how anxious they were to see each other. And when they did, I was so relieved. I don't know how to explain it, but I was so happy at that moment. And then there was the way Viktor pretty much said that he didn't want to ever leave Yuri's side...my heart hurts :'( I absolutely agree with everything. My most favorite scene so far is how Yuri was hugging everyone with that hangover-like face because he couldn't hug Viktor. Too cute. But it is kind of disappointing sometimes. I wished they would've showed more development moments in their relationship rather than just random bouts of sweet moments and nothing about the in-between. |
| Such a beautiful episode! That ending was so touching and I can see how much Yuri loves Victor. So beautiful~ Can't wait for the next episode |
 |
| Yurio please win the grand final. Performances were awesome as always probably my favorite part of the entire show. I just don't like JJ and that borderline incestuous Italian guy no matter how hard I try. |
 |
| The one thing that bugs me the most about this show: I've heard maybe 1 or 2 tunes that actually sounds like music real skaters perform to. It's a small complaint, really, but it's enough to take me out of some of the performances. Yurio's was one that clearly did not fall into this category. |
| That OST. DAT OST! Friggin' brilliant!! Despite siscon dynamic, the Mickey part was very powerful. |
| So Yurio is a tsundere, nice. I don't see the problem with the strong bond between the Italian siblings. It's big brother's possessiveness, a common cliché, maybe a bit exaggerated here for the comedy, but nothing to take literally as true romantic incestuous love. |
| Has to be one of my favourite episodes so far. The choreographies are superb and I like that Yuri and Yurio seem to build up a good relationship which shows a character developement (especially for Yurio). The end was heartwarming too. 5/5 |

Like i really got upset At least victor acknowledges that he has some growing to do as a coach Well, I feel that Yuuri encouraged Victor to go back to Japan because of what happened to his dog, Vicchan. In the beginning of the show, it's established that Yuuri's dog meant a lot to him and that s/he died when he was away at a competition and that had a really heavy negative impact on his skating and it's implied that he still feels guilty about not being there for his pet when they needed him. Yuuri sees how important Victor's dog is to him as well. So he didn't want him to go through something similar. It's as if he was trying to remedy his past regret through Victor. And a lot of this show is about healing in spite of emotional trauma. |

And a lot of this show is about healing in spite of emotional trauma. That is exactly true. Victor has kept Maccachin from the age of 12. Yuri knew that the dog was an irreplaceable family for Victor, so Yuri encouraged him to return to Japan. |

And a lot of this show is about healing in spite of emotional trauma. I understand Yuuri's reason for telling Victor to go back to Japan. But i'm Upset with Victor for leaving. He forsook his responsibility as Yuuri's Coach. That is what upsets me. I'm seeing a lot of character growth in the other side characters, And so much more in Yuuri. But i'm not seeing any in Victor.... Well it was his dog's life at stage. Pets are important family members to people, Viktor in particular seems like Makkachin is his only family- probably most important person in his life with Yuuri. So even if dog died he would need to go there to bury it and mourn. As someone who lost a pet recently- it's very devastating. Yuuri's competition is important too so that's why Viktor was hesitating and needed Yuuri to courage him to leave and tell it's okay. Actually in terms of Viktor growth- I think it has happened. First of all I think he has fallen in love with Yuuri. At first he was very flirty, but couldn't understand Yuuri at all. But later on his affection towards Yuuri is lot less calculating and poor emotion like kissing scene and then running for Yuuri and opening his arms in airport scene. In the latter he also looked sick with worry instead of regular cheerful attitude he has. He has also gotten better at coach after getting to know Yuri better and what he needs. |
| Somehow I like the heart break performances much better LOL. JJ had a cute looking girlfriend ehh. |
| So touching... he barely made it in and that hug he shared with Victor in the end. Ugh, so sweet. <3 Also really glad the fluffy lived. Would've been too sad if they killed off a 2nd dog. TωT |
 . . . . . ✘ . . . . .DO NOT touch my rice. . . . . . I'm Asian. . . . . . |
| What an emotional episode ;; Sara + Michele aww and that Emil guy, wanted to see more of him >< and loving yurio's side when he's with his grandpa aww I feel like it's such a waste for me to finish this anime, it's sooo goood. But I got to! I'll just take my time~~ |
| 4th place, too bad. Good episode as usual though. So much focus on the programs. |
 |
| That's right nigga. Think of yo sugar daddy at a time like this. |
| Just need to find out how to quote this every time so I can dodge the stupid 30-character limit. |
| "If you're in trouble, just hug him, and he'll help you." <- Is this what Victor used to do to Yavok too? :-) HAHA!! Yurio's grandpa included pork cutlet, scrambled eggs, and white rice?! XD WOW. It's my first time seeing that in a pirozhki... OMG, no, Mickey, don't describe our characters that way!! XD "...do you like moody Japanese men who look like closet pervs?" :P ... I don't see Yuri as a closet perv... Emil must have more to him than just his cheer. :') It was bittersweet when Mickey let go of Sala... "This is the last time I skate for you." But it's honestly for the best. (LOL when Georgi identified that Mickey expressed lost love - his lost love is different from yours!!! XD) I'm sad we couldn't see more of Seung Gil's performance ;_______; Awe...Seung Gil cried.... </3 "Strength means nothing without beauty." <-- That's such a good line, Lilia! <33 LOL to Yurio referring to Yuri as "Pork cutlet bowl" ;P BEAUTIFUL PERFORMANCE, YURIO!! <3 Hehe...I love that Yavok's seat was occupied by the stuffed animals when Yurio and Lilia was awaiting his results! XD I adore his smile :) It's nice that Yurio is being supportive!! But JJ...you whistled right when Yurio was in the middle of his cheer! >< LOL!! Yuri's face when he notes that Yavok and Victor are alike... :P But good job to Yuri!! :) LOL at Yurio's glare at JJ when our king won first place!! Yurio is honestly one of my favourite characters <33 Off-topic, but JJ has a pretty girlfriend! :D JJ's performance really was one of a king!! <33 Confidence really plays a vital role. LOL!! Yuri hugged Sala!! No Victor, so who else was he supposed to hug?? xD Mickey needs to get used to this... - OMG!! Yuri hugged Mickey next!! And Emil!!! Perfect time to appear!! LOL! So stupid!! "What's this? A hugging competition?" Emil :P SEUNG GIL'S RESPONSE TO THAT HUG! JJ was actually caught off-guard :P OMG!! YURIO RAN AWAY!! THE BEST PART <33 And Mickey needed Emil's support... xD This is so precious <33 AWE!! Yurio!! He looked for Yuri and gave him food!! Yurio remembered Yuri's birthday <33 And I love Yurio's attitude! :) It is too bad that Yurio was second place to JJ, despite being in his best form...but Yurio has years ahead of him to gain even more experience ^^ LOL!! Yurio: *looks away and is blushing* Eat. Yuri: *looks up at Yurio* Huh? Right now? Yurio: Eat! ^ Haha xDD And Yurio's look of anticipation as he watched Yuri's reaction... So cute :)) Yurio's pride that his grandfather made them is so precious. <33 Thank you Yurio (and his grandpa) for having Yuri smile! ^^ LOL at the lost baggage!! Yuri and Victor's reunion was so precious!! :) YES, spend the rest of your skating career(s) together!! <3 LOL, in the preview, who is the man who appeared at Yurio's door and freaked him out?? xD Phichit looked cute when he took a selfie with the selfie stick... And Yuri is giving something round and gold to Victor? *___* |
