Well, M/K picked a good time to finally deliver a clean performance. At least if they continue to skate this way, their inevitable win won’t be controversial.

An absolutely huge performance from Riku/Ryuichi, such quality on all of their elements and the best skating skills and ice coverage we've seen today. The SBS spins were textbook, perfect unison, and the toes looked pretty clean from Riku as well (a strict panel would've maybe called a q but they looked great in real time and the panel has been generous today in general, plus it wouldn't change the overall result here). This is going to be a deservedly massive score, every element was just fantastic tonight.
