If Brian Orser ever sees this he'll chew Yuzuru out. That attempt looked like a straight way to a sprained ankle.

To be precise:
It was Coach Tom Z who posted the video of Max Aaron. Max himself never posts videos like that.
Thus comparable to Orser saying/showing something about Hanyu -- as opposed to Hanyu himself feeling the need or desire to go public with something.

I just watched the part where he made the speech!! I'm all in tears and it's so magical that he made the effort to thank the audience with a speech and then shout with his raw voice as loudly as possible a thank you to everyone!!!! I'm crying now, he's too lovely and perfect to be true!!! (Sorry for posting long, but I'm really very emotional and touched now, sorry!!!)

Guys, I have a question, it might be a stupid one but I need input. Has Yuzuru ever used the harness to learn his jumps? If yes, when was the last time he used it. I want to know if there is a correlation between him using/not using the harness and his jump quality.

I've never seen any footage of Yuzu in harness.

Thanks. I haven't seen any, too. But I don't know if it I have missed something. Do you think not using the harness partially contributes to his fearlessness and lack of hesitation going into his jumps?

My guess would be the other way round? Its because yuzu is fearless so he doesn't use the harness? I don't know....

I've never seen footage of him using a harness either, and I doubt he ever used it. There was footage of the time he started learning the 4T and he took some pretty hard falls back then, I guess if there was a time he could have use the harness was back then, so maybe he never used it.
If he never trained with a harness, it could be a factor to his, as Tracy said, blind belief, when he goes into the he jumps. If you never had the safeness of the harness, then the fall is not going to be so scary because you've been used to it since the beginning. Though of course, there are many factors here to consider, his dedication and sometimes stubborn personality, but very focused attitude could also come into play. He's always strived to become better, and order to do so, he just needs to go for it (without being reckless of course cough4Acough). I suppose he also trusts his technique and his ability to land the jumps, which could also be because of the lack of harness.
But that confidence is certainly a characteristic trait of him. In the latest edition of IFS magazine, Jason was asked which skaters he admired the most, and among those, he mentioned Yuzuru. He said that no one goes into the jumps with more confidence than Yuzuru does, he doesn't slow down nor backs off, that he's like an ninja and what he does is insane

You have a point, so without harness could also be a factor for his fearlessness into jumps! That's true now.that you've said it!

Thank you. I was wondering the same thing, if not practising with a harness has hardened him to the falls. Thus, decreasing his fear factor. For me, the confidence he has when he jumps is such a great part of who he is as a skater.
I remembered the SP in Sochi when they were re-playing his jumps in slow motion and his face when he landed his 4T is just 
Thanks for mentioning Jason's interview. I will try and go get a copy for myself and read the interview in full. Jason citing Yuzuru as a sort of ninja is kinda cute.
Thak you all so much for the link and translation!
I’ve been watching Requiem over and over again and the word that comes to my mind is catharsis. Yuzu needs this program, Yuzu needs this choreography which is very intimate , something for his soul . The deeper he is into his own world the more I like it , because I can feel it and be, in some way, part of it.
It's a very special and unique experience.
