This should be in the mascot fest thread, but I just love how supportive mascots are of our dear zuzu.

This boy is on fi~yaaaa!

Well according to icenetwork: SP Music: "Diamonds" from Rihanna performed by Adam Rippon FS Music: "Arrival of the Birds" by The Cinematic Orchestra and "O" by Coldplay But someone also said that it's Josef Salvat's cover... So now I'm not sure.

Wow.... I just... wow... /really, I'm speechless/. This kiddo always exceeds expectations.

Did someone say Black Seimei?? [source]

Rika!!! It's ok... it's early in the season. Come back stronger for the next comp!

Not surprised with Nathan's 6 quad plan (he might even go for 7) since he is going for broke with this Olympics, so of course he's bringing out the big guns. I pray for his hips and knees and overall health.

Yep! That current layout trolly mctroll face is touting is actually very suspect. I've got a feeling that 2nd jumping pass 4S is a placeholder for the 4Lz. But, again... depends on what his competitors are doing.

Comparison of opening pose. I'm really feeling the amped up murderface of Seimei 2.0.

Not defending him or anything but possible explanation might be that BBC only does commentaries on Olympics and World Championships. So, he might not have thought about GPF since his last commentaries on Yuzu would be Boston /sob/ and Shanghai. But I do agree that commentators should at least give out correct info.

Sudden thought: You know what interview I REEEEEAALLY want? One with Nomura Mansai

Well, well, well.... Lord Trollzuru Hanyu strikes again... He's keeping that 4Lz hidden for now, I see.

BBC's gaffe was saying Yuzuru got beaten by Shoma at nationals.

: Yuzu, help me. How can I convince Javi to put a 4Lo on his layout. : Get him to compete against me at ACI (can we get Patrick Chan-senshu as well )

I just realised poor Javi is going to be the guinea pig for this. Who knows, this might encourage Javi to put in that 4Lo. Maybe this was Brian's plan all along..

His 4Lo looks like a triple . SE - - 3A2T -- SE.

Huuugs for you. It's fine to be critical and worried as we know it comes from a place of love for him. And that's why we're also here to try to ease your mind. Hopefully we did a good job? hahaha

Thought bubble to hopefully ease some people's minds : Re: Judges penalising him for reusing programs - as many have said, judges prolly don't rewatch programs over and over again. Now, as Yuzu fans, how many times have you personally rewatched Chopin and Seimei? Have you gotten sick of it yet? Conservative layout - the goal is to win. His upping the layout may not be to everyone's liking but as we have seen, consistent clean programs seems to be the key to judges hearts right now. To 4Lz or Not - maybe yes, maybe no. Honestly, the fact that he even HAS a contingency plan means that he has thought things out. Whether or not he'll have a 4Lz will prolly depend on what his competitors do. Re-tirement - on the bright side, what he's doing right now makes me feel like he's not planning on re-tiring after the Olympics. He has PLENTY more to offer in the FS world.

He IS leaving room for contingencies though. So it might also be just dependent on how clean his opponents will be with their layouts as well.

I never trust what Lord Trollzuru says.. He did a 4Lo on the second half of his SP. He's now in a state where he's capable of putting different jumps wherever he wants to in a program. Also, when he does jumps it's always with a purpose (remember all those SE-4S-SE in SC 2015 gala practice or those insane jump combos at GPF 2016 gala practice?). He's got contingency plans that we don't know about - the fact that he even said he has contingency plans means he's being flexible in his layout for the FS. Will there be a 4Lz, Yolo3A or something else (4A)? We'll see...

I see Lord Trollzuru is still in troll mode with that layout talk. Honestly, I don't trust anything he says until he shows up and competes.

I'm looking forward to his Seimei murderface during the step and chore sequences.

Soooo.... ACI will be Chopin vs Chaplin and Abe no Seimei vs Don Quixote.
