I think this is an interesting point... At the GPF, I saw a lot of people online call him arrogant for fist pumping and jumping on the podium, some even saying "he has no sense of dignity as a champion"... But to me, that was pure joy. He both skated and celebrated with a joy of just being able to: nobody else but he himself knows how hard it was to recover both physically from the collision, and mentally from the criticisms of being reckless to the point of stupidity, setting a bad example, being overmarked, whatever. That he was able to prove himself at the GPF, not only to all spectators, but to himself... I can understand his euphoria.Also, how Yuzuru's manner changed from GPF to here at WTT. after 2 amazing free skates.
This WTT was indeed the closing of a chapter, a season of mountains and valleys that felt 3 years long. He didn't celebrate with the heady exhilaration of youth, he's matured from his disappointments and regrets. It wasn't a fairytale ending, but it was closure. I still don't think that POTO is as compelling a vehicle as his short programs, and I know that his artistic boundaries and performance quality still need to be stretched further, but with this long program performance, I'm especially reminded of why I uber him: he always skates with heart.

@sakuradrops007 Welcome!!
too bad because it's also his PB and second highest FS in history, although the one I will watch again and again will probably be WTT 
.
let's wait and see but I will be devastated when they don't show it on time
