And yes, the difference in the skating is huge after he won the Olympics. I know POTO was his music choice, and he was sooo much stronger as a skater that year, but the jump from that to Seimei was even greater. I think physical maturity and confidence of having won the Olys are a factor too, even though he didn't have the long program of his dreams. Before that there was this frailty, now it's like he has an aura of invincibility, even though he is making errors. Kurt has mentioned that every time he steps on the ice it's like he commands your attention and that is so true. It's just so different from before and I think the growth could be even greater as time goes on.
