#YOI 10

[deviant-nomad]

I wasn’t a fan of Phichit’s music in the beginning. They were catchy to the point of being annoying. But I’m surprised with how much his songs have grown on me. I think it’s the backstory that accompanies his music - his confidence in himself and optimism are as infectious as the music, and THAT is a great thing.

I saw this post which was set in the future, and it was set in during the Spain GPF. And basically Yuri and Viktor weren't together anymore, and Yuri was with someone else - and now I'm worried if that ever happened in the future :/

Well, we wouldn’t know that until the future comes, right? And until then, don’t fret – they’re essentially engaged. And Viktor can’t leave, at least until the GPF is over/Yuuri leaves competitive skating.

"YUURI YOU MAKE MUSIC WITH YOUR BODY" I'M LAUGHING MY ASS OFF

A. Why wasnt Phichit at the banquet? B. If he was why doesnt he have video or photo proof of what happened to Yuuri?-Kes

Phichit didn’t compete in the previous Grand Prix finals.

I’m pretty sure it was only the Grand Prix Finals competitors and probably their sponsors or something that attended.

Since Mira and Sara were there, it probably included the female skaters as well. And since Yurio was there too, the junior division skaters must have been invited too (given Yurio was the junior division winner that year).

Yuuri: aww babe you had a crush on me. That's embarrassing

Viktor: we're engaged

Yuuri: still

“So with this ring May you always know one thing: What little that I have to give, I’ll give it all to you. You’re my one true love”

This song speaks Victuri to my soul

Yuuri skating 'Stay Close to Me' was him “winning” a dance-off between him and Viktor

A theory! I might be thinking too much into this, but anyways, here are my two cents regarding the 10th episode.

So during the banquet, Yuuri declares that if he wins the dance-off with Viktor, Viktor is becoming his coach, right? But alas, he’s hella drunk, so Viktor *probably* doesn’t take the challenge seriously (and we do not know who won in the end), and just goes with it for fun.

Now let’s get back to the end of ep.1: While watching Yuuri’s cover of his FS-program, Viktor remembers what Yuuri said to him during the banquet. Because, in a far-streched kinda way, Viktor might see Yuuri’s performance as his part of a dance-off with Viktor, about who’s able to skate ‘Stay Close to Me’ in a way that “pulls on the heartstrings”, who’s able to really feel and get the message of the song through to the audience. (It was kinda hard for me to put this thought well into words, but I tried my best!!)

So, in this case, in Viktor’s eyes, Yuuri won this dance-off, by far. Not only do we get an implication from Minako that this coreography would be better if performed by a man more naive than Viktor (and I personally think Viktor feels that way too), but there is also Viktors remark about why he decided to coach Yuuri: Because he (Katsudon) skates as if he was creating music with his body. There was a mention in a post about Yuuri skating to ‘Stay Close to Me’ without any music playing (I can’t find it at the moment, but I will link it in once I stumble upon it), so Viktor might have actually meant what he said by that. Also: Yuuri was able to skate Viktor’s FS program with so many emotions and with such dignity, that the message of ‘Stay Close to Me’ got through *only* by the choreography itself, and there (probably) wasn’t even any music playing. And that was when Viktor realized just how much potential there is in Yuuri. And that Yuuri TOTALLY won this unofficial, fictional dance-off between them. So he did what Yuuri asked of him in case of Yuuri winning their dance-off: He went and became Yuuri’s coach!

Anyways, this got longer than expected, but this is what caught my thoughts after ep.10. What do you guys think?

TL;DR Viktor took Yuuri’s cover of ‘Stay Close to Me’ as a dance-off challenge, felt that Yuuri has won, and hence flew to Japan to be his coach (banquet-Yuuri’s ask).
