Congratulations Yuzuru for making it to the GPF for the eighth time! (sad though about Jason )
I know Yuzuru wanted a scintillating performance before his compatriots, but to be honest I want him to peak at GPF and Worlds.
Praying he will remain healthy for the rest of the season and continue to amaze us all.
Edited "seventh" to "eighth." He qualified for last season's GPF but didn't compete there due to injury.

Man, I bet you will not become fluent in English even if they inject it to you. You are that stubborn and it adds a layer to your cuteness :luv17:

Could they not give him crowns? The man just can not cooperate with them
But he looks so cute with crowns. I had to laugh when they started mentioning it and Yuzu was already like "Wait what? A CROWN?! ㅠㅠ" And when Roman pulled him close...awww...too sweet!

He was more nervous and pressured than we can ever know, he popped and had to YOLO his way out... and he still made enough to get only the second 300+ score this Grand Prix season (the first being of course... him).
And some carpers and complainers think he should have retired?

CONGRATULATIONS!
Much as I wish he could have skated clean and gotten the world record back, I looooooove his YOLO jumps. They show how smart and creative he is.
And how adorable was he at the medal ceremony!?
It looked like he was kind of leaning on Roman for a while. :luv17: So cute. "You are high" is correct in Japanese.
It was not as silly a mistake as it might seem.

He survived!!! Now please stay healthy all the way to Italy!
Also holy wow at his ability to rewrite the whole 2nd half LP to maintain the 4 quads after the pop. But the PCS ...(judges ugh..).
But that was such a funny ceremony, you can tell he is just relieved to get through it unscathed.

Oh, and it's Yuzu's 20th GP podium: only Plushy has more as Max Ambesi has pointed out...

Team Japan interviews will be something to look forward to. Guess what Yuzu will skate to?

I was amazed by his YOLO jumps. My mind went blank when he popped the quad and couldn't compute what he should do next. It was not perfect but the performance is magical and I am so happy that he is still healthy. And he doesn't need to be perfect in NHK and can peak later.
Congratulations to Yuzu!
I was not able to watch the event on live broadcast, and was only following updates about the men's fs on twitter, and immediately, upon learning that his legs were visibly shaking at the opening pose, I felt like a ton of rocks descended on my heart. I was so worried because I've always had this perception that Yuzu is stable as a rock when dealing with pressure (heck, the way he handled himself at the Olympics while still being injured is proof of that) and he is fearless. So my heart ached so much when I saw that hint of vulnerability, and even more so after learning that he really feared coming out of the 2nd GP event with an injury. Oh, Yuzu. It's understable though that he'd have trauma when it comes to 2nd GPs and injuries. Heck, even we, fans, wish him health for this GP above all else - health even takes precedence over him winning. So, imagine my relief when I saw him being happy and playful with 2 working ankles during the victory ceremony. Yuzu, please stay healthy and happy.
Anyway, it's astounding how he was able to quickly think on his feet as he was skating while being nervous and being worried about getting injured. That was quite a feat. Overall, the SC version is more nuanced and is less reserved, but this isn't even a bad performance. I mean, without knowing the intended layout, one would think that he did very few mistakes here and that is all thanks to his YOLO-ing prowess.
As for the SP, I actually like the NHK version better of Otonal compared to the SC one. Yes, Yuzu was more expressive in the latter, but I personally think his timing and step sequence are better in the former. Nothing much, I just want to say that I think Yuzu's performances here aren't really inferior to the ones he did in SC despite the huge difference in the total combined score.

I had the exact opposite reaction. For a second, I was heartbroken, but then I thought, "Wait. WAIT. That was supposed to be a combo, right? WE'RE SO GONNA GET YOLO JUMPS. YES."
As if the jumps themselves aren't amazing enough, the way he fits them to the music so well that no one who didn't already know the layout would ever know that they weren't planned is incredible. I know he already has a big part in his own choreography, but I hope he also does some choreography for other skaters someday! (Maybe Vadim Voronov!)
