For the judges who gave negative GOE on first two jumps, I think its time to get new glasses!
also ChSq1....what?

All choreography sequence have the same base value, therefore no level.

Btw I love how Yuzuru is just dying of laughter after Misha took out the phone from under his shirt

I wonder how he kept it nice and snug in there. The outfit must be tight

The medal ceremony is so precious.

Yuzuru sniffing his medal, laughing when Misha took out his phone to selfie and then when he fell ono a 3A and just lie there on the ice giggling. He is so adorable.

Also that episode with Misha
YZ: you first
MG :no you go first
YZ : No you first
MG : No You first
*repeats

His interview comes!

I could get skating trying to harmony with music. I was able to skate comfortably for the first part. If I can make the forms of jumps or the way of acceleration more effective, I will avoid any mistake also in latter half. I thought I needed more practice.

Well, yuzuru saying very-yuzuru-like things is the highlight of my day

Another interview. He said it was very tough right after the performance, but
"Next competition I shall achieve a performance without mistake. Not just one step, but ten or twenty steps I want to improve myself. I would love to get a performance like that many people would say "we have been waiting for such yuzuru hanyu""

Well it was expected. If he doesn't say kuyashii after that, this would be my reaction instead ---> https://66.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m41aygNfBB1r15uyio2_r4_250.gif

One thing I realized at this competition... yuzu is yuzu. He never stops. He never stops challenging and fighting. Injury, many hardships...etc. nothing can prevent him. As long as he breathes, he stays yuzu. Many people will get inspiration from him. I know he has many haters. But the more haters he gets, the more supporters he will get. I shall keep cheering up for him as ever.

Was out for the evening so just watched the video on Youtube. Beautiful program which will definitely improve as his stamina increases. I may be in the minority here, but I'm not a fan of the costume as it seems so similar to others he has worn and I've never liked ruffles on guys. The program is similar to his exhibitions which makes me appreciate "Let's Go Crazy" even more as it is so different. I'm sure I'll end up loving this, but right now I'm not feeling as excited as I was the first time I saw Seimei. Knowing Yuzu he will work his tail off to be ready for SC. Looking forward to that!

Ok! Lots of pages I finally caught up with!
I LOVE the costume, it's just gorgeous. And the program....once he has the endurance to pull it off...I wonder if the world will even be ready for that (well, ready or not here comes Yuzu!)
Even though he had problems in various jumps, what I was worried about was the step sequence. Last year they changed the beautiful original sequence of SEIMEI because it was a given a level 2. I feared something similar would happen this year and I'm so so glad it's a level 4 because it's very different from his previous ones :yes:
I was watching the medal ceremony and all of a sudden I only saw his feet gliding into the screen he really wanted to do that 3A+Lo+3S right. Don't worry, Yuzu, I'm sure you'll get it at SC.
Overall I think this was a solid season debut, of course there were flaws, but we wouldn't want a perfect skate to go to waste on a Senior B. I think Yuzu is pacing himself to peak at Worlds and I'm glad he's going down that path.
Now I really want to see his new EX!
