Otabek frowns so serious... great execution tho really strong jumps. Lol those Ted bears.
JJ still a pimp but still feel bad for him, lost under too much pressure. But unlike Yuri, JJ doesn't fall trying, but somehow restrains himself to simpler jumps.

When the announcer named the six skaters for the Grand Prix Finals... I seriously wanted all of them to win T____T

LOL, I don't know why...seeing Otabek's expressionless face when he won those medals made me laugh... xD

WOO HOO! The opening changed a little - the faces of the top six skaters were included! Everybody looked intense and serious for this competition! :D

"His coach is empowering their matching rings in a prayer of victory" *___* That was a good line and a good moment! It was just so genuine when Victor held Yuri's hand and kissed it ><

LOL, while Sala wondered why Yuri and Victor had matching rings, Mickey wanted to have one with his sister... LOL xD Cutie Emil was simply cheering beside them <3

AH! Victor and Yuri's hug!! XDD I love Yuri's confidence!!
AWE! Yuri's hand touched the ice! >< Emil's reaction was mine exactly. (lol, did anyone else notice that Mickey placed his hand on Sala's shoulder?)

OMG!! Those Phichit flashbacks were REALLY cute!! Phichit performance was PERFECT!! <33 I'm so proud of him :') - Hehe, he took a selfie with his coach ^^

LOL, thank you Yurio for kicking that seat Victor and Yuri were on - how much longer would they have sat in the kiss and cry? xD Victor's"Davai" response was adorable.

Lilia's words of wisdom <33 -> "People shine brightest when they seek to understand what kind of love sustains them." Yurio's performance was BEAUTIFUL <3 (Hehe, that gloomy look on Yakov, Yurio, and Lilia's faces, and their excitement when Yurio's score was announced...they really do look like one family xD) Congrats to Yurio for setting a new world record!!

Chris looks cute in glasses! :) It's true he won't be able to skate professionally much longer, but it's nice to see that he executed his performance very well, without any regrets.

Hehe! Yurio showed such nice support for his new friend; "Davai!" with his feet on the chairs :P "Another score higher than the pig's" lol. The confident look on his face when he was still first place and JJ was about to enter... <3

It's charming that Otabek doesn't hesitate before he does his jumps. ^^ Victor described Otabek's style nicely; exotic and fresh <3

"It's like a 'new personal best' party!" <-- EXACTLY, triplets xD

OH NO! JJ felt the pressure!! :( When the audience cried and sang along to his song... </3 It's so nice that Isabella started the chant, and the whole crowd chanted! :D "Stop! It's JJ style!" XD haha...and then there's Yurio telling them to shut up with his ears covered! <33

Minako and Mari supporting the skaters was me right there!! It's too bad not everyone could have gotten first place!! ><

Yuri said "let's end this"...??

This episode brought me real close to tears, and even after reading comments for awhile, I still feel like I could cry...I don't like this ;-;

UPDATE: After watching the first few minutes of the last episode, the tears started flowing...

JJ falling apart was too predictable =/

I understand that pressure can get to you but it affected him way too much, being the character he is he should have picked himself up in second half.

Honestly JJ stole this episode for me. I wasn't that attached to his character but this episode was just so touching... we all mess up sometimes, no matter how hard we practice and how hard we try. JJ showed that, and showed how to keep fighting and keep smiling. :)

More like the whole show in my case. I really hated the way the writers sabotaged him just so Yuri could earn second place, since honestly it would have been much better for Yuri's character to beat him with his effort rather than the other guy failing. But at the same time, his scene was probably the most memorable scene in the entire show, a really powerful scene. Almost let a tear too. JJ was too good for this show.

JJ's slump came kinda out of nowhere, I mean they could have at least foreshadowed something, ANYTHING during the last episode, but ehh whatever I guess.

Yurio suddenly breaking world record like it's nothing was also a bit... ugh. Pretty obvious that it was set just so Victor can start missing skating and all that. Things like that somehow makes this series less, well, credible.
I do wonder what's gonna happen now. I kinda doubt that Katsuki's gonna win after all... Maybe he'll be second or something, and then there could be a possibility for a sequel? I don't want him to retire so soon!

Damn, Yurio setting a world record just like that.
I actually felt really bad for JJ, falling under the pressure like that ... despite that, he still set a score of 86 points, which compared to the other competitors isn't that low.

Among all the players, JJ must be the last one that I would have expected to be overwhelmed by pressure. I know a lot of people don’t like him cuz he’s quite cocky or sth, but for me I’m not that much bothered. At least he had reasons to be proud and confident. I feel for him, hope he regains confidence soon.

And that ending… We have Victor & Yuri in the hotel room alone with Victor in his bathrobe, so “Let’s end this” was certainly not something I had expected to hear.

BTW, is the guy picked up Chris his boyfriend? He looks like Kirei in Fate, kinda hot.

Awwhhhh, JJ's fiancée loves him so much :') it's so romantic and sweet <3

IT'S JJ STYLE!!!!!!!!

I thought of Yu-kun at the beginning when JJ flubbed all his jumps D;
Poor thing. The feeling of failure is one of the worst :(

On the other hand, Yurio's performance was breathtaking and Phichit's was adorable and fun :D

Man. I got so hyped up for this episode. HAHAHA.

I only got emotional after JJ's performance, of course. HAHA. Mann. When they were singing his song and his fiance was like, "you know me SO FOLLOW ME." She scared me and I laughed it hurt.

The friendship between Yurio and Otabek. OMG. NICEEE. Otabek definitely oozes man.

I didn't realize how young these skaters were. From their images I totally thought that most of them were 24-30's. HAHAHA. I know nothing.

Chris and his performance. DAT BOOTY SQUEEZE.
"You know you always come so early." HAHAHAHA.

The ending song and the pictures are always perfect. I love them.

One more.

JJ almost made me cry?? I don't even like him, but wow did it ever hit me in the feels when he failed, tryed again and kept failing.

And to those who think he isn't the type to get nervous like that, you have to remember that he's still pretty young, and was put under enormus preassure to succeed. Also, he had to follow two amazing perfomances by Yurio and Otabek. It's easy to perform when things are going well and you know you will win. But to perform well when others are probably doing better that you? Especially when you are expected to win regardless? That's hard.

Bravo! Just bravo, every performance was magnificent, full of emotions and skill. It is truly the great finale. :-)

Yuri seems to finally be less stressed and anxious, and Victor began to stress more than his apprentice, haha. But that's good, both of them changed as characters, and Yuri matured as professional skater (i.e. he did his best, had great attitude and was not paralysed by fear nor collapsed on the rink after he didn't make one figure perfectly).

Phichit's dream came true and his performance was flawless.

Yurio's performance was breathtaking. He finally found Agape, embraced it and showed his full potential as for now on the rink. Beating world record (nota bene previously set by Victor) was indeed fully deserved.

Chris was simply Chris we know from the previous episodes. His programme was very pleasant to watch as always both by interpretation of his song and by looking at technical aspects.

Otabek's show was astonishing! I literally held my breath before he did all these jumps, being both delighted on how his style looks like, but on the other hand worried that he might feel overconfident and make a mistake. I was relieved when he executed everything flawless.

And ohh, King J. J. ! I had a feeling you might be too stressed because it is finale. :( Not that I like him, but he's very talented and it's a shame that jitters defeated him here. It could be kinda predictible: a lot of pressure and hopes on him comming from his fans all around the world after he won 2 competitions in Rostelecom Cup, and of course his own country's fans and people who are not much into ice skating, but do like rockband that supported him. Final emotional burden came, in my oppinion, from his fiancee and a promise of getting married with her after winning this competition. If you mix everything you get a heavy pack of hopes which would be hard even for skilled and experienced skater to handle. Oh well, it was short programme anyway, maybe he will rock in free programme. Plus I tip my hat to his determination and that he tried to "reanimate" his own self as a skater.

Noo, JJ failed at the end but I like that he has a positive attitude after that. Still, he giving in to the pressure came out of nowhere.

In the other side, I'm glad for Yurio, he totally deserved the first place in this program.

Also, I would have liked they used a different skating music (except for Otabke), they do get a bit repetitive after a while.

Yuri tried his hardest but just could not cut that 100. Yurio's performance was pretty good with him being able to do those quads. I liked Chris' too! I expected better from JJ but in the end he ended up being nervous. I hope he is able to do better in the finale. I rooting for Yurio or Yuri

As a figure skating fan, I just kept thinking how unrealistic it is that the men would do this well since in reality they're always falling all over the place with all of their quads hahaha

The Canadian in me was sad for JJ, but his meltdown was predictable. I like Yurio and hope he wins, but I'm sure it'll be Yuri

Minako and Mari fangirling again or the triplets xD I dunno why, but I find these little moments so ridiculously amusing


JJ was of course taken out by bs plot convience

Poor man, he deserved better. Still kinda touching performance overall

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron
