I was just thinking, how fortunate it was that he came first in the Final so that he didn't have the chance to repeat the same mistake.

Very impressed with Shoma's SP performance in the Nationals today! Great speed and very good jumps. Glad that he can perform under pressure so well.

Congrats to Shoma for earning 3rd place and the 2nd highest TES in the short. 
He's catching up quickly to his seniors.

Shoma Congratulations! I am so happy that my predictions about his placement was wrong.
I can't wait for you to move to seniors! I hope you would be able to overcome your growth spurt, if and when that will even happen

here is the SuzyQ’s comment from Yuzuru’s thread.

Shoma is talking about Yuzuru.

Shoma is looking up Yuzuru with worship in his eyes.
" I have been thinking he is such a great Senpai since the days of Novice. I will never be able to win over him my whole life."
After FP, (3-years older) Yuzuru welcomed Shoma's breakthrough, saying "The skaters whom I competed with are finaly here with me." But, Shoma himself is rather modest.
He is from Nagoya, and a favorite disciple of Machiko Yamada, coach of Midori Ito and Mao Asada.
When Shoma was struggling with 3A, he asked Mao for a advice. She said, "Just jump 'Fu!', then you can make it." Shoma replied, "I'll do my best."
I remember someone said the similar thing before, although it was "Shu", not "Fu".
Wonderful world of geniuses, and Japanese onomatopoeia :agree:

I think "Fuu" and "shuu" are merely onomatopoeic words (in Japanese) to describe the sound of flying (or jumping into the air) aka there's no real special meaning to it. I surmise it mostly has something to do with the sound of wind/air rushing around the body while one jumps. The Japanese love to have sound-words associated with movements (for example, when your stomach is empty/you're hungry, they say it's 'pekopeko'; balls rolling are going 'korokoro'.) The English language has the same too (onomatopoeia) but I think Japanese has more of them (and the more fluent you are, the more likely you'll understand what they are.)
Going back to Shoma, I really love his very unassuming attitude.
