I wonder if he will perform this in later stops too. We probably would see more changes. Might see changes once it is skated in bigger, olympic-size rinks too. Seems like the small size of the rink restricted him and he has to change some of his pattern there. We will see

I have, it's beautiful. :) I just saw it today, both version where he popped the Loop and where he was foot-perfect. I love his chopin since 2014, so I don't think I have many complaints haha. The latter part still feel a teeny bit emptier but I heard that this is the unfinished/unpolished version yet, so I am sure once it is polished it will be a masterpiece (again). In addition, I personally think it is smart to upgrade his BV without having to go way outside of his comfort zone.

Sequence Combo must takeoff with the same landing edges (cleanly) otherwise not counted, some of Yuzuru's combo were also not counted because some strict tech panel consider he slip from his edges when landing etc Also, the tweet above, what he landed was 4T+3A seq not 3A4T. It is still impressive. But Yuzuru is more of an edge-jumper, what you would see from him is likely -lo-4S combo rather than a -4T combo. Beside, after his lysfranc injury, even if he is able to do this, I don't want him to attempt that, like ever.

He'd likely won't do that, high risk low reward imo. It is easier to do quad separately, and he has yet to perform even a 5-quad program actually cleanly (he 2-footed his 3F landing at Nats; 4CC, worlds WTT is even more of a mess imo). That said, 4 is a piece of cake for him by now and probably 5-6 is more on the higher limit one. I'd argue 4 is commonplace for Yuzu too by now, he landed 4 from 4CC to WTT, it is just that his tendency to pop things hurt his score (Aside of the 4S issue).

Anyway, though this is brought up by an english site that covers japanese entertainment, I don't think we should take on what several internet comments from a certain magazine/community/site (idk what girlschannel is, forgive me) as a general perception of how Yuzuru is seen/perceived there. He tops quite a lot of positive poll (including this one on the news article) and it should be a testament that he is generally well-liked, respected and admired there. Of course, he can't be liked by everybody and he would have a handful who dislike/hate him, but that's life. And since he has more who admire him and respect him compared to those who are not, I don't think it would matter.

FS has started breaking free from uptight gender roles, and skaters who do not portray traditional gender-stereotype style has made it and dominated, like how Yuzuru wins and dominates the men's field this quad (thought I'd argue there are skaters long before him who display non-tranditional masculine style too); my personal favorite is how gabrielle daleman can be on the world's podium despite not having the typical feminine style and portray strength and power in her skating. That said, of course there will still be a handful of people being quite conservative about it, and they are usually the loudest.
