the fanart is really impressive
Requiem costume is so hard to draw and paint, I tried once and failed miserably 
So he hasn't even put on his skates... wow. So glad to hear he fully realizes how imperative rest and a full recovery are for the future... that, or his mom hid his skates (just kidding). It must really be an exercise in patience for him, especially considering what Shoma did, but good things come to those who wait. I am sure he is making the most of his time off... maybe even do some sight seeing in Toronto for a change? Go to a Jays game, yuzu.
This is the type of thing that make someone really appreciate more what they have, so I expect next season we will see an even more mature skater out there.

I agree that he is better when he has something tangible to aim for, like someone to one up or his own SP performance to one up, and it was good that he skated after Machida as well in the FS in 2014 WC (on a side note: at this WC, I think if his FS order with Patrick were switched, both of them would've done better, as they seem to be opposites in that sense.). His confidence is better when it's framed as 'I can do better than that' versus 'I can do my best', since he is such a perfectionist and aiming for perfection is just too much. It's such a double-edged sword.
Perhaps there would be more external pressure at the WC after Olys, but what I'm banking on is that he would learn to control his level of confidence in himself well enough by then (by balancing his mental and physical states, like he likes to say) in the next two seasons such that he can overcome even his own expectations and feel good when he's skating regardless of skate order or his performances in his previous skates (SP or previous events). I'm glad that he mentioned skating 2nd was a problem in one of the interviews so he can work on that, because that's a mental problem. One day, he will evolve enough mentally to become a Plushenko-like competitor and be confident in his abilities all the time, no matter the circumstance, and winning the 2nd Olys will certainly help with that. I believe!

The article about his injury
SHIROTA Noriko, director of ANA responded to the interview and stated as follows.
“Now he is in the condition that he isn’t allowed to put on skating shoes. Quiet rest is the best thing.”
“He had some pain since around Skate Canada, then the injury got gradually serious.”
“I think his injury will recover completely just by taking rest.”
I remember reading an article saying that his pain began around GPF.. But actually Skate Canada? So long. His season must have been tougher than imagined.

Actually, I wonder if it is actually longer than that. Compared to his 2013/14 season, his 4T been quite off for quite a while.
EDIT : Also, his 3lz.

He said that in that 900 interview that his pain started before GP and then got bigger through the season. Most probably now he has a plaster caps on which he can take off for physiotherapy. And he can't skate until he is fully recovered and is allowed to take the cast off.

his injury had kept affecting his jumps this season..
Anyway, it’s lucky for him it is off-season and he has much time before new season and there is a prediction that enough rest will heal his injury completely. Further, it’s really lucky it is pre-olympics season! Olymoics season is sooo long. I cant forget Brian’s words, “Olympics season starts from the next day after WC is over.” If new season were next, his time would go short..

I really hope that he will take the GP series easy and maybe even skip it but knowing his personality...

Agreed. Hopefully they won't take this injury for granted, and at least knowing he won't be needing surgery would comfort his fans a bit. Tracking back, 2 months weren't necessarily the worst case scenario.
If he indeed has fully recovered by June/July, I doubt he or his team will let yuzu skip GPS. Especially, I would expect him wanting to defend his GPF title. But maybe he can just take it easy, just to do enough to qualify for GPF.
Edit : Also, I forgot about 4CC. Since this year's 4cc is in the olympic venue + being in the same period as the olympic, I expect yuzuru would really want to attend?

Really so…
I don’t know if he can actually skip GS in the case he doesn’t have serious injury. But, anyway, at Canon interview, Brian says like that he has a strategy about his peaking. In 2015-2016 season, his peaking didn’t go well. Apparently he was best around GPF and then went down. It was a problem. They recognize the problem and try to make his peaking later next neason.

such a strong word.. crush/destroy as in to defeat him completely? :shocked: thank youu
Brian said that? Hm, I wonder how they will do that. I think probably since 2012/2013 season, it was always his pattern to peak and give his best performances at the GPF and then just went down during worlds. Perhaps the seasons where he peaked at the later part of the season were when he was still being coached by Nanami Abe.

Brian says he has a strategy... Of course, i dont know how it works..
Yeah, true, it was his rotine that he's best around GPF for the past years and he was with Nanami, he could do well at the last competitions like JWC, 4CC, 2012 WC...

Honestly I dont think Yuzu was at his peak in 2012 WC either, he gave sub-par SP was injured and even considered to WD, He just gave his best effort in LP. So indeed, they should rethink and manage his peaking .
If you notice most Japanese skaters are peaking by GPF Mao, Akiko, Dai, Nobu ..The only Japanese skater I remember peaking for WC was Miki
