Gonna guess not. I know it was that way with my husband... it still kinda is after 8 years. haha. XD We really miss each other even for a few hours. |

LouM said: they havent seen each other for only a day though I find it really realistic given my own experience with being in love. It's been one day yes, but we can assume since they're living together that they've at least interacted almost every single day for however many months it has been (around 6 I think?). When you spend that much time with someone and suddenly they're not there it's jarring...not to mention this was the most important day Yuri has faced in this season as of yet, seeing as his entrance to the Grand Prix was on the line. When I think of it from that perspective it doesn't seem overdramatic to me. |

| yURIO'S SMILES THOUGH ASDFGHJKL HE'S SO PRECIOUS Ghawd that ending was so beautiful and cute T^T |
| Be realistic guys. They won't marry. It's metaphorical. How should this even be possible? Russia and Japan are both healthy countries that haven't succumbed to PC yet. Well, they could go to the U.S. Well, I think this show has become a bit too silly recently. They do nothing but tease the audience. The BL bait scenes don't really fit into the concept of the show anymore. They should focus more on the sport. |
a_lover48 said: somehow this episode is the most not gay out of all the others. Victor kissed Yuris ring finger, they talked about always staying together and Yuri wants to get Victor smth "gold and round" for his birthday ( with all that context its implied its a ring; a ring) Dunno if it can get any gayer than that XD |
| That last scene (the hug at the airport) really made me feel like they both feel the same way about each other, but won't admit it. Viktor seems like he's denying his feelings by using humour, while Yuri thinks that it's only a coach and that they'll be seperated by the end of the season. If they really thought about dating, Yuri wouldn't be so deperessed about it. At this stage, I wouldn't be surprised if nothing (as in, no proposal) happens at the end.. I personnally wouldn't mind... I like it when it's slow and you feel their growing emotions. Come on, give us a season 2 !!! |

Helenus said: Be realistic guys. They won't marry. How should this even be possible? As a queer person living in a country where same sex marriage is not possible, let me answer that for you; you fly to a country where it is possible and get married there. Or do some law stuff so you and your partnercan visit each other in the hospital and stuff, and make a private wedding party. As for Japan, teoretically the Katsuki family could adopt Victor; put him in the family register, I read ppl do it like that, Victors and Yuris legal status would change to "family" Also; while you cant get queer married in Japan, the country does recognize forgein gay married couples as married (unlike my homophobic turf) ; maybe it would work if Yuri and Victor married in Canada, but Im not 100% sure about that. |

| The performances were great. |
 |
| Yuri is the hug master. Nuff said. I also really like the subplot between Mickey and his sister. I really like how the show does a good job showing us the others. Also They did the right thing not having Yuri win in Russia. That will make it when he wins feel like us the viewer really saw him win. |

I think if more ppl would think about technial aspects of legal gay marriage it would be most likely possible everywhere until now hahah. But seriously, the shows good, because it makes ppl think about why Yuri and Victor cant legally marry, why didnt they kiss on the airport and stuff. It sucks a lot if you want to kiss your loved one goodbye on the bus station, but you can just hug. Because you dont feel safe, and dont want to deal with "the looks" |
| That airport scene at the end!! My fujoshi heart almost leapt right out of my chest!! Viktor X Yuuri Forever! |

MasterHavik said: unlike Japan who just treat it as phrase That actually brings up one of the things I've been thinking about for a while, which is this when combined with Yuri's age. While undoubtedly part of it is the age of target audience and protagonists in general, AFAIK anime with these themes generally feature younger protagonists. I have to wonder if it comes off as a little less innocent this way. |

| He asked him to be his coach until he'll retire. Everyone talks about 'proposal', lol. Fujoshis are really live in a different world :DD Never failed to make me laugh at this series :))) The best part will be the show when anything won't happen between them 'til the end ;))) |
Demikuzunoha said: That was a mistranslation. Yuri says 引退まで、ぼくのことをお願いします, which translates to something like "please take care of me until I retire". Then we have Victor saying how he wants Yuri to never retire. I don't think you can call this bait anymore. Not a real difference. |
LouM said: they havent seen each other for only a day though don't try to understand, it doesn't make sense. unless they the creators wanted to make it ridiculous :)) |
| That airport scene was the cutest shit I have witnessed in a LONG time. Honestly, it was beautiful. The way their eyes never parted from each other once they met and they ran to each other so frantically. That is romantic and endearing as all hell. Plus the kiss on the hand was very sweet. Yurio's performance was the almost highlight though. He did fantastic. Thanks Kubo~ Helenus said: Russia and Japan are both healthy countries that haven't succumbed to PC yet. Well, they could go to the U.S. Are you labeling a country as "healthy" cause they hate gay people and won't let them have basic rights? What the fuck is wrong with you? That's not "PC", that's called being a decent society that treats its members with some respect. Frigyesur said: He asked him to be his coach until he'll retire. Everyone talks about 'proposal', lol.

You're butthurt, but still wanna be in denial. |
“Victor can’t be satisfied by anyone but me.”  |
| That lame ass running to each other at an airport scene are you serious??? I loved it I am living right now. I have no idea how this anime will end though, will Yuri win gold? Please win ;_; |
 |
| Definitely an emotionally charged episode, one of the best to air so far imo with the buildup and all the deep performances. Yurio really stepped it up on that performance, really amazing for him and despite messing up during his routine, Yuri still managed to make finals and it seems he found a strong resolve this ep. The sibling breakup was interesting, I liked how Mickey was skating after Sala told him off though And JJ being the king once again with an easy win xD And yes, that hug scene with everyone was golden! Especially Mickey, King and Yurio's reactions! We also see a friendly rivalry building between the two Yuris, which is good because I like their interactions together That airport scene was really well done, Yuri and Victor running while watching each other through the glass was a really good decision, it really looked nice |
 "If I don't have to do it, I won't. If I have to do it, I'll make it quick."- Oreki Houtarou |
not at all. i found it funny. |
| Loved this episode. Mickey's performance was lovely, and it was nice seeing the two Yuri's being friendly with each other :') not to mention that hug scene was amazing. that airport scene tho.... loved it so much ;~; |
| What a great episode this was. There were tons of emotional feels in all the characters with the exception of JJ. The opening with Victor sadly telling Yuri he'll be with him in spirit before getting on the plane was sad and emotional. I don't want them to be apart, but Victor's dog's life is more important than the competition. Yuri hugging everyone was lol Yurio's performance was top notch, and his hair ponytail looked so cute on him. The twins' scenes were crappy and weird. But the scene that made this episode important was the airport station of Yuri and Victor running to each other, staring at one another through the glass and hugging at each other. That made me squealed of happiness because I ship them so hard. And the marriage proposal scene makes me wonder if they ARE going to get marry. It was nice, solid episode with tons of character development and performances. |

You're butthurt, but still wanna be in denial. I think its called beeing heteronormative until it hurts :P I personally know a (stright) librarian lady who was shocked that Colletes "Claudine" is about lesbians; and she did read all the novels, ah man... :DD |
naekari said: That was a horrible mistranslation by CR and I'm really disappointed in them, not that I'm surprised, really, I stopped trusting subs a long time ago. Yuuri never says "coach," ever, he says「引退まで、僕の事お願いします」, which basically means something along the lines of "until I retire, please take care of me" and that's not even literal, tbh;「僕の事お願いします」technically means something closer to "I'm handing myself to you, please take care of me," or "I'm handing myself to you, I'll be in your care," which is a way of asking someone to be with them, in their care for life, and it's also something a lot of couples say when getting married in Japan. It's no wonder Victor and the Japanese fans thought Yuuri was asking Victor to marry him, because that's exactly what it sounds like. Marriage lasts after retirement, doesn't it. But it's not like I wanna argue or something. |
teaknight said: I think its called beeing heteronormative until it hurts :P I personally know a (stright) librarian lady who was shocked that Colletes "Claudine" is about lesbians; and she did read all the novels, ah man... :DD That's funny 'cause one of my favourite manga is Mizutama Honey Boy which can be called anything but heteronormative. And one of my favourite character Nezumi whom can be called anything but straight. Simply there are people who see it differently than you. Try to deal with it :) |

And one of my favourite character Nezumi whom can be called anything but straight. Simply there are people who see it differently than you. Try to deal with it :) You can still be heteronormative and engage in media with LGBT themes/characters. You liking a character doesn't mean you don't take ideas that have been ingrained in you since the dawn of time outside of fiction. I mean, hell, you even still apply them to fiction lmao. |
“Victor can’t be satisfied by anyone but me.” |
naekari said: True. But that's the thing, it's supposed to be an ambiguous line, which is not uncommon in the Japanese language because a lot of times you have to break down the sentences to get every meaning. Which is why Victor's response of "I wish you'd never retire" is there, he knows what Yuuri said (the retirement thing) so he understands what could happen, but he also noticed the actual meaning behind the line (the second half, to be more specific), because it's true that Yuuri doesn't want to let go of Victor, as much as he believes it's what's supposed to happen. Anyway, whatever happens in the next few episodes I'm still happy with that line, even if they don't get married or actually propose; with this series, who knows at this point. lol Nobody argues that the whole show's point being ambiguous, I mean who doubted in their relationship :) I know I'm mean but seeing the overwhelming reactions... it just slips :)) Although whatever will happen between them doesn't really bother me :) Macchacin is fine, that's enough for me in this episode. |
