Actually Shoma said "I want to crush /no objective/ oneday.", not saying "I want to crush Hanyu."
There is the idiom in Japanese; 牙城を崩す/gajo wo kuzusu/
= literally " to crush the king's castle" = to break the stronghold = to beat the king
This is not Nagoya-dialect, but general Japanese idiom.
We, Japanese, don't use the verb 崩す/kuzusu/ toward a person, so when I heard his words 崩したい/crush/ on tv interview , I understood he just skipped "king's castle", not using the whole idiom.
To me his words don't sound strong at all))
And where are the problem with the shoma´s words ?
It´s normal that he want to win (besides, it makes no sense to translate literally into a language, proverbs made of another language.)

Longer "Tono, Risoku de Gozaru" "making of" featuring some previously shown Yuzuru cuts and interviews with him both before and after filming his scenes.

Edit: The timing of this movie premiere is perfect to alleviate the off-season blues. I realize how fortunate we are as fans of Yuzuru to be able to enjoy all the extras he's done outside of the sport. He's worked so hard.

Ok, so now at Madame Tussauds in Tokyo you can watch dancing holograms to Swan Lake with Yuzu? LOL. What will they think of next?

oh I see thanksJust google news for Yuzuru and it's on different news channels from Thursday, April 28th.
It's a new exhibition at Madame Tussauds in Tokyo where you can dance with celebrities. They take a 3D face scan of participants which is put on a hologram dancer and then there is a 90 second presentation where you dance or waltz with brad Pitt, Leo DiCaprio, Lady Gaga, Marilyn Monroe and pirouette in a Swan Lake ballet with Yuzuru. The current roster is 3 dances and 6 different celebrities which will expand later in the year. Cool!!
it's a pretty cool idea. I for one would totally waltz with Leo I just finished my first Yuzu fan video
I hope you'll enjoy it, even though I'm not very good at making videos. It's mostly with the happiest moments from 2012-2016

Yes, I know usually Japanese dont use kuzusu for person... like english dont use "it" for person except they want to look down/disregard him/her
from dictionary 整っていたものをこわす。きちんとした形や姿勢をとっていたものを乱す。 「敵陣を-・す」 「ひざを-・す」
As I said about.
Anyway, I dont believe Shoma disregard Yuzu, but not every Japanese think so. And to some fan who dont know japanese but search that word in dictionary, they will get little shock too =))
The clips of Yuzu acting were just what I needed. Now I'm happy.

Subtitle 1: "Tono,Risoku de gozaru.": Talk show before the premiere
Subtitle 2: Sadao Abe praises Yuzuru Hanyu's acting
0:44-
Yuzu: I'm Shigemura.
An actor (off-screen): My lord!
Assistant director (off-screen): Cut!
1:01-
Yuzu: Where's Asanoya Jinnai?
Asanoya: Here.
Yuzu: And his brother Kokudaya?
Kokudaya: Here.
Yuzu: I heard that you would never travel on horse or palanquin... (he stammers)...Sorry.
Director: No problem, it's OK.
Translator’s note:
Asanoya is a sake-brewer who lived in a small town named Yoshioka. People of Yoshioka was very poor for they had been harshly taxed by Sendai-government, so Asanoya and a few volunteers including his brother Kokudaya decided to lend their money to Sendai government with interest to help the people of their town. Having heard about Asanoya and his company, Shigemura wanted to see them, however Asanoya did not show up to his castle for he had pain in his legs and he despised traveling on a horse or on a palanquin for it gives others pain. So Shigemura came to Yoshioka, where most people had never met their lord.
1:21-
MC: Mr. Abe, when did you come to know who would play the lord?
Sadao Abe (who plays Kokudaya): On the very day of the shooting, at the rehearsal. Until then I had no idea who would play Shigemura. We all had been wondering and making guesses about it, and Mikio Date of Sandwich-man (Japanese comedian whose ancestor is Masamune Date, an ancestor of Shigemura) was most expected among us.
Director: Ridiculous.
Sadao: And who we met at the rehearsal was...him. We were so surprised.
MC: There's a footage of the moment he appeared on the set.
Michifumi Isoda (the author of the book this movie based on): Oh I've never seen it before.
MC: Let's see the moment when they first met Hanyu.
Isoda(to the audience): You are the only people who can see this footage.
MC: This is the world premiere. Please play the video.
Sadao: We didn't know who's coming yet...
Sadao: I'm grinning.
Director: You should not be grinning here (laughs)
Sadao: And I'm staring at him.
Yuzu (on screen): Where's Asanoya Jinnai?
Asanoya (on screen): Here.
Yuzu (on screen): ...So I came here to see you. Bring me my inkstone.
Shigemura's retainer (on screen): Yes, my lord.
Director (on screen): OK!
Yuzu (on screen): Please to meet you. I'm Yuzuru Hanyu.
Director (on screen): OK, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Yuzuru Hanyu as Shigemura Date. Please to work with you!
Yuzu (on screen): Sumimasen.(すみませんcan mean “Sorry.” or “Thank you.” On this occasion it sounds more like "thank you for your warm welcome.")
Director (on screen): Everyone, your reactions to him was not quite right.
Yasufumi Terawaki (on screen): We were grinning.
Yuzu (on screen): I could see you smiling from here...
3:36-
Subtitle: How was Hanyu's acting?
Sadao: Wasn't he very natural? Well we couldn't see much of his acting in that footage, but he looks very natural...not like an athlete trying to act but like a real actor...and his expression was beautiful. I was so surprised, really. I was grinning, and in my mind I was like "Wow Hanyu kun is so good!"
MC: Just like an ordinary person admiring a noble person.
Sadao: Yeah, exactly, and I was so quick to approach him, just like an ordinary person (who found a celebrity.)
Isoda: One of our teammate from Higashinippon Broadcasting went to see his father bringing my book and the script with him. After reading them, Hanyu's father said this film would be good for the people of Sendai, and his son would be able to learn something as a performer. Then after a while, upon reading the book and the script together, they received our offer. It was a big surprise for us because we did not expect they would.
When he was on the set, he seemed to be having fun, eating things he like, which he usually avoid as an athlete, then he made that record-breaking score, so we were very glad that this movie didn't become his obstacle.
MC: Or this movie might have contributed to his record-breaking score...
Isoda: Oh we shouldn't be that bold. Let's be humble about that.
MC: This must be the moment when he made mistake.
Isoda: Good expression.
Sadao: He asked for retakes and repeat without complaining.
Isoda: Everyone said that those who can claim the top can do anything wonderfully.
