Also, I think the 命を懸ける part was part play on words and part detailing 一生懸命 because of the use of the same words/kanji. He often does these kind of puns or plays on words, and I think it's another proof that he didn't mean it literally. Since 一生懸命 is more commonly used - although not to e used/taken lightly either. I think, at least ^_^;

 

Yes, I think you're right; he plays on words. Also, yes, 一生懸命 is the word we use daily.

My impression is that he presented a very familiar word, but by emphasizing the true meaning of the word, he showed us how much he determined.

Well, was it more coincedence though? The event in CoC wasn't exactly as he intended, but I think the entire "die or die trying" really only came into play 2015/2016, which is a season after. But he's learned after risking his career, and I think his idea that he's not even at 100% of his full potential will hopefully prevent him from going too hard on his body.

 

Were you a Yuzu fan back then?  Now we know that he didn't have concussion, but at that time, when he was about to skate his free, I didn't know how serious his injury was or if he had concussion. I was afraid he would literally risk his life by skating. My heart was full of fear and despair while watching his 4 mintues and 30 seconds. I couldn't sleep at all that night so I went to read many fan blogs and everybody talked about that phrase "命を削って" being not literal...

Come to think of it, COC 2014 is very traumatic for me and that's why his words made me a bit nervous. As I wrote the above, Yuzu just plays on words, so nothing to worry about.

IT STARTS AT 12 FOR ME! I FINISH CLASS AT 12.30! I HAVE TO RUSH HOME TO SEE YUZU IN TIME BUT THE BUS BETTER COME EARLY OR I'LL HAVE TO WATCH IT ON MY PHONE 

I'm already considering skipping the last lecture so I don't miss anything so much for being a good student this semester  

SP starting order at GP series events is according to worlds standings or random? I don't remember how it was last year.

According to world standings. As reflected in my CoR participants description - those are going to be the two groups

So yuzu will skate last? Pls pls pls pls so that I'll be able to watch him. If it wasn't for a group work then I would've just skipped the class

He'll skate last. They went back to the old formula for the GP events.

NOOOO I have Classes at that time! I'm totally skipping that day, I don't care. 

Yuzu skates last right? Thank goodness my break starts 20 mins before the end 

many people having a time clash with their class/work for Zuzu 

I know I'm going to miss Yuzu's SP as he will skate last and I'll be at lunch out during that time. But I should be able to watch the FS.  

I am an idiot 

 

I signed up for a workshop on Friday and it starts the exact same time as the SP   Why did I not check the calendar first 

...I am in a new job since last week...there is no way I can leave early...

This is why I prefer staying awake during the night rather than having to give up normal life because of Yuzu 

 

But I mean, remembering how happy I was after ACI's SP... I wouldn't swap that moment with anything else honestly, so I'm not putting anything else before it. But I'm lucky because my classmates can record the uni lessons for me
