a personal best score today!Copy !req
32. I think I've told you this many times, but in
last year's Nationals, I bombed everything.Copy !req
33. They wondered if I was injured,
but embarrassingly,Copy !req
34. nothing was physically wrong with me.Copy !req
35. I lost, despite being a top contender,
because I was mentally weak.Copy !req
36. Wow.Copy !req
37. Okayama International Skate RinkCopy !req
38. I haven't been in a single competition
since last year's Nationals.Copy !req
39. Maccachin's cheering for you, too!Copy !req
40. I've been practicing with Victor this whole time,Copy !req
41. Oh, yeah. Real cute.Copy !req
42. Try to be happier.Copy !req
43. but to be honest, I'm still not sure about myself.Copy !req
44. I have to figure out if I'm in good enough
shape for the Grand Prix series.Copy !req
45. The other skaters don't matter.Copy !req
46. Minami-kun, focus, okay? Focus!Copy !req
47. I feel someone staring at me...Copy !req
48. Remember how focused you
were at the Nationals!Copy !req
49. Don't get overwhelmed by
the energy around you!Copy !req
50. Focus! Focus!Copy !req
51. Wow.Copy !req
52. What a crowd.Copy !req
53. It's been like this since the

55. He tends to get nervous before competitions.Copy !req
56. Have you seen Victor?Copy !req
57. The competition's about to start.Copy !req
58. Sorry to keep you waiting.Copy !req
59. Why did you change clothes?Copy !req
60. Today is my glorious debut as a coach,
so I should be in formal dress.Copy !req
61. You're exactly right...Copy !req
62. That Russian coach stands out
more than the skaters.Copy !req
63. Ladies and gentlemen, this event
is the senior men's short program.Copy !req
64. As your coach, what should I say before
sending you off to the program?Copy !req
65. Will the competitors please
take the ice for your warm-up?Copy !req
66. What I'm thinking of right now is...Copy !req
67. You have six minutes.Copy !req
68. My goal is to reach the Grand Prix Final.Copy !req
69. I can't get nervous already at this stage.Copy !req
70. He's nervous...Copy !req
71. Gentlemen, the warm-up has ended.Copy !req
72. Please leave the ice.Copy !req
73. Why is Victor getting all prickly?Copy !req
74. Yuri, turn around.Copy !req
75. Huh?Copy !req
76. Turn around, okay?Copy !req
77. Um, like this?Copy !req
78. Seduce me with all you have.Copy !req
79. If your performance can charm me,Copy !req
80. you can enthrall the entire audience.Copy !req
81. That's what I always say in practice, right?Copy !req
82. R-Right.Copy !req
83. Good luck, Yuri!Copy !req
84. Good luck!Copy !req
85. Remember...Copy !req
86. Just skate like you do in practice.Copy !req
87. I'm going to become a
beautiful pork cutlet bowl!Copy !req
88. Come on, guys! What's with
this lukewarm response?Copy !req
89. Back at Hot Springs on Ice,
they were way more enthusiastic.Copy !req
90. No, I bet Victor would like this step sequence.Copy !req
91. Yuri!Copy !req
92. Try to imagine entangling more of the egg.Copy !req
93. Think of the pork cutlet bowl!Copy !req
94. Right!Copy !req
95. Yuri, dance more like you're
trying to seduce me.Copy !req
96. That's right.Copy !req
97. I'm a pork cutlet bowl
fatale that enthralls men.Copy !req
98. First up is a spread eagle into a triple axel.Copy !req
99. Great!Copy !req
100. I'll continue the momentum
with a quadruple Salchow!Copy !req
101. Over-rotation!Copy !req
102. I was drawn to you because of...Copy !req
103. The way you skate like your
body is creating music.Copy !req
104. Great, Yuri!Copy !req
105. It's perfect!Copy !req
106. The last jump is a combination,
so it's worth the most points.Copy !req
107. A quad into a triple—Copy !req
108. Crap, it turned into a double.Copy !req
109. This is the last element...Copy !req
110. On to the conclusion for the love-crazed couple...Copy !req
111. Er, so how did it go?Copy !req
112. That's right, the woman casts
aside the man she seducedCopy !req
113. and leaves for the next man!Copy !req
114. That was so cool, Yuri-kun!Copy !req
115. That was awesome!Copy !req
116. Who's that?Copy !req
117. I managed to finish somehow.Copy !req
118. I wonder if I did okay.Copy !req
119. What does Victor think?Copy !req
120. The first half was great.Copy !req
121. But you were too focused on jumps in the
second, so your performance got sloppy.Copy !req
122. Right.Copy !req
123. I don't really like that kind of thing.Copy !req
124. Right.Copy !req
125. Why's he getting scolded?Copy !req
126. He really got the audience fired up.Copy !req
127. He may score a personal best...Copy !req
128. The scores, please, for Katsuki Yuri-san.Copy !req
129. His short program score: 94.36.Copy !req
130. He is currently in first place.Copy !req
131. He beat his previous best by almost ten points!Copy !req
132. Amazing!Copy !req
133. While this won't be an official record,Copy !req
134. this would've been among the
top ten scores in the world!Copy !req
135. Hmm... Since you weren't under pressure,Copy !req
136. I thought you'd score in the hundreds.Copy !req
137. Right, you've scored above a hundred points
to break the world record multiple times.Copy !req
138. Oh, right, Yuri.Copy !req
139. About tomorrow's free skate...Copy !req
140. Lower the difficulty of the jumps
and focus on performance.Copy !req
141. Huh?Copy !req
142. You've never nailed them
during practice, have you?Copy !req
143. But...Copy !req
144. It's not a bad idea to lower the
difficulty early in the season, is it?Copy !req
145. You should prioritize adjusting your
programs to help you reach your peakCopy !req
146. for the Grand Prix Final.Copy !req
147. Representing Kure Higashi High School Skate Club, please welcome Fujiwara Hikaru-san.Copy !req
148. Are you saying you can't listen to your coach?Copy !req
149. That was amazing!Copy !req
150. Yuri-kun's pure charms became a rich eros
in the best form of betrayal possible!Copy !req
151. Minami-kun, get ready.Copy !req
152. It's almost time.Copy !req
153. Kanako-sensei, you saw it, right?Copy !req
154. You saw that triple axel?Copy !req
155. For me, that was a GOE of 3,000,000 points!Copy !req
156. Yeah, I hope you can land your Achilles
heel, the triple axel, this time.Copy !req
157. Yeah!Copy !req
158. I'm gonna show Yuri-kun my skating!Copy !req
159. How do you feel looking ahead to the free skate?Copy !req
160. This concludes the men's singles short program.Copy !req
161. Huh?Copy !req
162. Tomorrow's free skate—Copy !req
163. Of course you'll see Yuri be perfect.Copy !req
164. And I managed to land the triple axel, too!Copy !req
165. That was your best performance yet!Copy !req
166. Oh!Copy !req
167. Did you see my "Lohengrin" performance?Copy !req
168. I was being interviewed, so I didn't. Sorry.Copy !req
169. I even had a similar costume made to the one
from your famous "Lohengrin" program.Copy !req
170. That's a costume from my dark past...Copy !req
171. You don't have a dark past!Copy !req
172. Don't make fun of me for looking up to you
for so long and trying to catch up to you!Copy !req
173. I'm gonna give tomorrow's free
skate everything I've got!Copy !req
174. Please give it all you've got, too, Yuri-kun!Copy !req
175. I won't forgive you if you slack off!Copy !req
176. Wow!Copy !req
177. Skater Minami's issued a challenge!Copy !req
178. At last year's Nationals, skater Minami Kenjiro
finished ahead of skater Katsuki.Copy !req
179. He's the one whose total score was way higher
than mine because I self-destructed...Copy !req
180. His first senior division competitionCopy !req
181. will be a clash over a possible
changing of the guard!Copy !req
182. Minami-kun!Copy !req
183. Here in Okayama, skater Katsuki will face himCopy !req
184. Crap...Copy !req
185. with the first public performance
of his free skate program!Copy !req
186. The Chugoku, Shikoku, and Kyushu
Figure Skating Championship'sCopy !req
187. men's singles free skate is about to begin.Copy !req
188. All eyes are on skater Katsuki Yuri
and his coach Victor Nikiforov.Copy !req

Okayama International Skate RinkCopy !req
192. scoring a personal best of 94.36.Copy !req
193. In his free skate, he will attempt three quads.Copy !req
194. Victor and I decided to lower the difficulty
and only do one quad, but...Copy !req
195. I'm gonna try a quad, too!Copy !req
196. Seriously?Copy !req
197. You've never landed one, not even in practice!Copy !req
198. I'll try one, too!Copy !req
199. Okay, I'll try, too.Copy !req

202. You have six minutes.Copy !req
203. No, no.Copy !req

205. Yuri...Copy !req
206. How can someone who can't motivate
others motivate himself?Copy !req
207. I'm disappointed in you.Copy !req
208. What about my own motivation
that he just destroyed?Copy !req
209. Representing Hakata Skate Club,

220. Oh, he'll make the next one just fine!Copy !req
221. Next up, a quadruple toe loop!Copy !req
222. Wow.Copy !req
223. Is he going to go on a roll?Copy !req
224. Man, the way he's so inconsistent...Copy !req
225. He reminds me of the skater I used to be.Copy !req
226. I can't take my eyes off him.Copy !req

245. You look beautiful in it.Copy !req
246. Your lips are chapped.Copy !req
247. I heard he's only doing one quad at

248. He hates making compromises, yeah.Copy !req
249. Good luck, Yuri-kun!Copy !req
250. Representing Ice Castle Hasetsu,
please welcome Katsuki Yuri-san.Copy !req
251. For this first public performance
of his free program,Copy !req
252. the music is an original composition
expressing Katsuki's skating career,Copy !req
253. titled "Yuri on Ice."Copy !req
254. The program was choreographed
by Victor Nikiforov.Copy !req
255. This program starts off with the Yuri from
back when he felt he was fighting alone.Copy !req
256. The first jump is a quad-triple combination.Copy !req
257. He's been landing it just fine during practice.Copy !req
258. A quad-double!Copy !req
259. He nailed it!Copy !req
260. He changed the triple to a double?Copy !req
261. He's changing the jump elements?Copy !req
262. Is he going to add a triple in the second half?Copy !req
263. Or is he going back to having three quads?Copy !req
264. Do you remember how I told you to focusCopy !req
265. more on refining the program
than being distracted by jumps?Copy !req
266. You look too stiff!Copy !req
267. This is the part that expresses when
I showed up as your coach, right?Copy !req
268. You look like you didn't like it at all!Copy !req
269. A triple Salchow?Copy !req
270. No, a quadruple! He stepped out of the landing.Copy !req
271. So he did revert the program
to having three quads.Copy !req
272. Shake it off...Copy !req
273. Good!Copy !req
274. A triple loop!Copy !req
275. That was perfect.Copy !req
276. Now, Yuri's realized something like love.Copy !req
277. The second half's coming up,
and he already looks tired.Copy !req
278. An outside spread eagle,Copy !req
279. then an Ina Bauer...Copy !req
280. Skate like you're the most beautiful
person on the ice right now.Copy !req
281. A triple axel!Copy !req
282. Good, he hung in there.Copy !req
283. Next up, a triple flip!Copy !req
284. Even though he's not nailing his jumps,Copy !req
285. the audience is getting fired up...Copy !req
286. It's because he's skating in time with the music.Copy !req
287. So close!Copy !req
288. Yuri's being too impatient today.Copy !req
289. But that's whyCopy !req
290. you can't look away!Copy !req
291. I told you to make the last jump
a triple for the points...Copy !req
292. I wonder who he takes after, to be
so rebellious toward his coach...Copy !req
293. Oh...Copy !req
294. It's me!Copy !req
295. If I were Yakov, it'd be an instant lecture.Copy !req
296. And I've done that, too, but...Copy !req
297. Yuri-kun!Copy !req
298. He showed his pride as Japan's top skater!Copy !req
299. Yuri!!!Copy !req
300. Yuri!Copy !req
301. Victor!Copy !req

304. His total score: 259.56.Copy !req
305. It's amazing you scored that
high after a jump like that!Copy !req
306. He is currently in first place.Copy !req
307. Thanks for proving to me that you're
able to get a lot of PCS points.Copy !req
308. You can score even higher,
so don't feel down, okay, Yuri?Copy !req
309. Yuri-kun!Copy !req
310. I totally lost to you.Copy !req
311. I want to face you in the
Grand Prix series someday!Copy !req
312. Until then, please don't quit!Copy !req
313. And another thing!Copy !req
314. Please give me your autograph!Copy !req
315. Me, too!Copy !req
316. Can I take a photo with you?Copy !req
317. Yuri! I was so impressed!Copy !req
318. It was so obvious that you took the
younger skaters seriously as rivals.Copy !req
319. What if you'd gotten hurt, slamming
into the wall like that at the end?!Copy !req
320. S-Sorry.Copy !req
321. At first, I was just desperate
because I didn't want to lose,Copy !req
322. but somehow, I started having
a lot of fun in the middle.Copy !req
323. I don't remember a lot about it.Copy !req
324. Huh?Copy !req
325. Yeah...Copy !req
326. Anyway, that was the most fun I've ever
had while skating in competition.Copy !req
327. What're you doing, Yuri?Copy !req
328. Oh, you saw the photo of Victor and
the Japanese Yuri, didn't you?Copy !req
329. Jealous?Copy !req
330. Shut up, hag!Copy !req
331. Next, we have the skater Katsuki Yuri,Copy !req
332. who's thought to be the next leader
of men's singles in Japan.Copy !req
333. Please, show us.Copy !req
334. Um... Please show your theme for this year.Copy !req
335. Skater Katsuki?Copy !req
336. Love
Katsuki YuriCopy !req
337. My theme in this year's
Grand Prix series is "love."Copy !req
338. I've been helped by many people in my
competitive skating career thus far,Copy !req
339. but I've never thought about "love" until now.Copy !req
340. Though I was blessed with support,
I couldn't take full advantage of it.Copy !req
341. I always felt like I was fighting alone.Copy !req
342. But since Victor showed up to be my coach,Copy !req
343. I've seen something totally different.Copy !req
344. My "love" is not something
clear-cut like romantic love,Copy !req
345. but the more abstract feeling
of my relationshipsCopy !req
346. with Victor, family, and hometown...Copy !req
347. I was finally able to realize that something
like love exists all around me.Copy !req
348. Victor is the first person I've
ever wanted to hold on to.Copy !req
349. I don't really have a name for that emotion,Copy !req
350. but I have decided to call it "love."Copy !req
351. Now that I know what love
is and am stronger for it,Copy !req
352. I'll prove it to myself with a
Grand Prix Final gold medal!Copy !req
353. So we...Copy !req
354. ...were abstract.Copy !req
355. After all this time we've supported him...Copy !req
356. When you come back, we'll burn that
unfashionable necktie, Yuri.Copy !req
357. Let's buy a new one before the Cup of China.Copy !req
358. Victor...Copy !req
359. Unfortunately for you, it won't be
Yuri who wins the Cup of China.Copy !req
360. It will be Phichit Chulanont.Copy !req
361. Wasn't that jump great?Copy !req
362. Did you get a good video of it?Copy !req
363. Oh, sorry...Copy !req
364. What?!Copy !req
365. We have to post it online as soon as possible!Copy !req
366. To Be Continued!!!Copy !req
367. Dajia hao!Copy !req
368. I want to eat Shanghai crab!Copy !req
369. Victor, our event is in Beijing.Copy !req
370. Crab, crab, shrimp, shrimp, xiao long bao!Copy !req
371. Next time, Sixth Skate: China's On!
