Forcefield

He might just do Hana ni Nare in that too tight costume and since we missed it over the summer we maybe could see the full glory of Yuzu's chest body growth.

What "Behind the Scenes"? This is just like another beautiful CM. I'm blown away.

I find this alarming. I confess I don't feel quite swell about the other guys sometimes too for many reasons, but I just feel sad knowing that I allow stuff like this to get to me. What fans and judges do is not the skaters' fault. I don't see this any differently than the extreme Yuzu fans who target other skaters and then other fs fans using the collective us as an excuse to not like Yuzu. They are objectively things outside a skaters' control.

I logged into my empty twitter account that I don't use just to vote too.

I know the pedobird story. Who's this mascot?

One thing I noticed: Yuzu rarely stands straight or with good posture when he takes a picture. Like his posing in the team japan photos or head tilts here. One of the reasons why it's so hard to gauge his height.

Another blog questioning the proposed changes of ISU with recent mentions: https://adivinesport.com/2017/10/24/is-the-isu-on-the-wrong-course/amp/ Take a look if you have spare time or just to admire meme overlord's dgaf expression in the first picture as he lands his jump (whoever decided to screenshot that moment and Nathan's jumpface later on in the post, you could do better). I can nitpick on a few things but generally I agree. Hopefully ISU was just testing the waters and any upcoming changes will be heavily debated before passed. What I do find interesting though, not only from this post but others as well, is the mention of Yuzu's wins as a reason to why drastic changes may not be necessary, but while its great Yuzu is the current leader across the board, he's actually not the standard. His programs with complexity and quality melding technique and artistty together may actually be an anomaly. Even if podium placement-wise it adjusts nicely at the moment with the best on top it will not always happen or keep on happening - and that may be the reason ISU is looking for changes in the first place.

Same. If only it wasn't so far away from Toronto, would Yuzu have made the trip to watch it live? I doubt it, but that'd be a spectacle.

I actually thought about this when I was driving home today too. I imagine Yuzu lining up his silver medals from Canada and talking to them, just like with his quads.

So many satellites on here are such well-rounded people. I'm not entirely hopeless, but I hate cooking, so unless Yuzu is up for some ramen or noodles mixed with sweet pepper sauce we're doomed. I'm an introvert and hermit, so despite being born and living all my life in my hometown I don't know any cool places here, so again we're doomed. Just another good reminder that Yuzu and I will never mesh well together.

I actually think it's possible, even if unregulated and unchallenged. The flow of discussion on the general chat changes so drastically from the brightness of yuzu's smiles and poohs to the darkness of retirement and propaganda. Just give us something new to worry about and the planet might explode in page count again and for days, but not about his looks. I think about the hundred of pages of pure angst and excitement over Yuzu's FS announcement in August and I don't think I can go through that again. Those were terribly dark days when Zuzu trolled us and we knew baby 4lz existed but wasn't born yet.

How cute! Your friend is awesome! And Yuzu and children (even though they're not actually in contact with him) is

He was being nice! He just wanted to match Zijun's dress for their picture.

"one of these is not like the others" Yuzu wearing glasses

If I ever come across Zuzu giving out free autographs and taking selfies I'll know who to call.

It's one thing to see him onscreen so smol and cute, and wanting to wrap him up in cotton wool and put him in my pocket. It's another to learn if I actually approach him that he would tower over me. I actually think I'd be shocked at the reality and then yes intimidated (also because of his aura and beauty).

I'm 152 cm (5 ft) and I'm totally the opposite. Height difference might be cute when you see it but I'm intimidated by taller people especially men. Yuzu and my height difference is too much. T_T Funny enough, that's why I never understood how people could call him short, but it does look like it when he's standing next to other people of his height or giants. I guess Shoma would be more of my type, except I'm not actually interested since he will forever be a baby to me.

About that app, since it always mistakes Yuzu and now even Shoma as a girl, I'll feel really bad if it ever mistakes a girl for a boy. The creator of the app is a troll.

What the--! What!? But everyone's a girl.

I think beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Some things are soooo subjective even if there is a standard (which changes by country too). It may be unbelievable but I've been on forum where Javi is a god and Yuzu is not even considered average, but ugly. That forum is not a Javi fanfest and has western tastes though. Aside from beauty, perhaps another subjective topic, Javi and Uno are super charismatic on ice, but IMO Yuzu has this aura that I don't know what to call it both off and on ice. Maybe its the princely thing that some people go on about, which is there too. But that doesn't explain why if I were in his presence I'd feel small and intimidated. Yuzu's character is complex and multi-dimensional, but even his aura cannot be described in just a few words.

Sorry, negl, this made me laugh so much. Not because of the Javi part (forreal, the man is gorgeous too), but your use of thirsty like did she really come on that strong?

It's not like I forgot what he looks like but everytime I see him in motion or in pictures again it's as if I'm seeing him for the first time, and I'm in so much awe of how he can surprise me with his beauty each time. Candid pictures and when he's on ice and not even posing actually shows Yuzu at his best and how photogenic and natural he is.

The truth. We're not delusional. I know some reporters have called him a prince to his face before, but has anyone told him that he's cute? I wonder how he'd react.

I took a look at the GP assignments of the top 6 and there's a big possibility that Chen goes to the final as the only skater with 2 golds (he basically has SA 85% in the bag) while one of the top 6 may get into the final (unless there's a setback like last year like for Jin) with no gold at all. So here's the unnecessary and wishful scenario for this speculation - I was thinking, if I'd like the 6 to make it with at least one gold each, it's already impossible because Yuzu did not get it at COR. For it to work, though some results may seem impossible: COR - Chen v Yuzu (Yuzu gold) SC - Chan v Uno (Uno gold) COC - Javi v Jin (Jin gold) NHK - Yuzu v Chan (Chan gold) T. de France - Uno v Javi (Javi gold) SA - Jin v Chen (Chen gold) So with that fail, there's one other possibility if there's a miracle and Chen doesn't gold at SA but with the other results being more plausible: COR - Chen v Yuzu (Chen gold) SC - Chan v Uno (Chan gold) COC - Javi v Jin (Javi gold) NHK - Yuzu v Chan (Yuzu gold) T. de France - Uno v Javi (Uno gold) SA - Jin v Chen (Jin gold) I also think Yuzu also has NHK 85% in the bag. So the matchups that will be a beast at this point is between Chan v Uno in SC & Javi v Jin in COC, which will affect the importance of Uno v Javi in Trophee de France & an unfortunate Jin in SA. Jin, Chan and Javi unfortunately will lose a gold as I think Uno has got it in him to take one gold, if not two alongside Chen (well, there's a reason I think both are Yuzu's biggest threats for OGM). I know gold medals in the GPS aren't as important as points, but if I'm overlooking it for a moment to get into the hype. Eta: Correct me if I'm wrong about anything.

Japan has many promising ladies skaters, but rumor is Mao also stayed for the fed and its sad she couldn't end her career on a high. Even if there were young promising men upstarts, Yuzu might feel obligated to stay if JSF needs him for whatever reason. But we don't know how the scoring system will change too so someone outside the radar could be a contender in a few years or go the Machida route and get noticed by the mass later.
