Boy looks lost in the photo that looks like he is in an elevator... and stunned. Get to the hotel, yuzu. At least these moments are brief.

That solid chunk of wall that is behind him has to be a bodyguard, the big bloke. That's good to see.

Does he have a foreign bodyguard now? or maybe just airport security?

crowds of fans there waiting as always lol
how do they even manage to know exactly when he's arriving and wait it out
would probably do the same if i had time and money

And a bunch of them don't actually know. Say the weibo poster sallycinnamon posted above XD She says she's sobbing tears of joy because she didn't think she'd be able to wait until hanyu arrives

If he flew 1st or business class, well, you always look better when you can relax on the plane instead of shoved in the back in cattle...errr, economy class

long distance traveling on economy seats are hellish
at least you don't get blood clogged legs in first class seats and can actually sleep lol

maybe that's why he had to fly back to japan XD security details XD

Or maybe security provided by the local organizers and he was met at the airport.

I think most skaters have no idea of what it is really like to be him...

 

[Yuzuuu]

Wow there's so many people. I didn't think it'll be like when he's in east Asia but I Guess I was wrong! XD ahh, I so excited now.

Even when you have regular bodyguards, sometimes when traveling it's much easier to hire a local (all based on recommendations of course) or if you're attending a big event like this, the organization itself provides you with one because of convenience of security and coordination.
So tough to say.

Which hotel will he be staying in? Hope he gets a good night's rest today. I wonder how sensitive he is to jet lag.

 

[Yuzuuu]

Btw his hair doesn't look as fluffy as it did in Narita. Don't tell me he got a haircut on the plane.

I think Toronto must be the only place this (crowds and pictures) does not happen, lol... I do not think there has ever been a pic of him leaving or arriving from Pearson airport. I doubt he has body guards there... just when he goes to competitions.

Quoting from the fan-group (thank you guys!)

When asked about his physical condition, he replied "it is perfect" with a smile. With regards to recapturing the throne (champion) after three years, he said "I have steadily done a lot of things I should do, so I hope to do again what I should do here."

Great. Confidence, but not over confidence.... and he would never say, well, my butt is sore from sitting on the plane, lol.

​yuzus??? lol

That's why I'm laughing It looks like now his butt is as important as state of his hair I think it's his, because of outfit and the luggage trolley

long distance traveling on economy seats are hellish

And here I am only ever taking Economy class no matter if it's long distance or not :sad4:

Maybe that's why I detest long flights

ETA: Yuzuru finally landed! I'm so happy to see he's confident and I'm also glad they haven't demolished his hair

 

[omurice]

I had a dream about Yuzu last night!! I dreamt I was watching him skate live and there was a huge line to get in and see him, and then when he was on the ice he was jumping perfect quads and everyone in the audience was so impressed. Wish it could have been a longer dream

It really looks a bit different than it was in Narita
It's the perfect length now for both LGC & Hope and Legacy. Not too long, not 2014Worlds-like short.

ETA: +1

It does look shorter :shocked: Maybe it's just the matter of hair being slight matted down and being in a weird shape from being in flight for so long? That always happens to me when I'm in flight.
