Oh that last bit about Ghislain. Officially my second favorite TCC coach, after Tracey of course (sorry Brian)

Poor Yuzu. I bet he really thought he could hold on to the 'skating only for me and for joy'  thing, but bb I think that was the painkiller high. This is just who he is, he'll just have to embrace it like we do.   The trouble with skating only for him is that he really really hates not winning. Or not winning by his standards. 

 

ETA: Can't wait for Brian's next interview: He's only skating for himself now. What his self wants to do is be the very best, get all the +5s, and win gold. All the gold.

Oh I don't think Brian was fooled, no coach in TCC who's got brains and some degree of EQ, believed it. Think they were all just humoring him, entertaining his "new chill mindset" and thinking, "Wonder when that flip will switch."

Our hoarding-gold Dragon-Zu has awakened 

Tho I hope zen-Zu will still say Hi! now and then so Yuzuru doesn't get too intense 😅

 

Does anyone know why Kikuchi wasn't there? Was it because there were 3 TCC coaches already?

Without his warlock powers spins and scores went wild

I don't think anybody was fooled either, but Brian gave those interviews all about it.  I don't blame him, he had no choice, it's not like he could just say 'Mr. Hanyu says he is only skating for his own joy and satisfaction now, and he seems to be under the impression that he can have joy without both skating excellently AND winning. We will see how long that lasts.'

If I'm not mistaken, Yuzu was literally called "You-Know-Who" by Debbie during ACI

Learning self-awareness is all part of growing up. Our boy is becoming a man...a ridiculously competitive, impossible athlete of a man. 

 

 

On another note: I got home from ACI and showed my mother some of the videos I took of Yuzu's practices at ACI. She was instantly intrigued and shocked by his jumps. She wanted to know how he could keep on skating after each jump "because you'd be so dizzy after leaping up and spinning around in the air that fast. You 'd have to take a moment to recover." You should have seen her face when I explained what Nessie is.

 

Chalk up another Yuzu fan, even if she did pronounce his name 'Yazari Hanaru'. 

I do not approve of admin's edit. I think it was enough to remove reference to other skaters. So I tried to delete this post, but there seems to be no way to do it, only erasing the content.

They took really good care of security at ACI, I thought. Which was just as well. Most people were very cool and laid back, but some of the fanyus were definitely giving off scary stalker vibes.

@Toni watch Yuzu steal Ghislain to be jump coach when he decides to personally take up coaching. >_>

 

Also, the section where Ghislain is speaking to the VIP-maybe summarize or keep it under spoilers or something? other than it being confidential and personal, there are sadly Yuzuru Antis who also like to browse our forums and take our stuff out of context. I'm speaking as someone who translated an interview with Zhao Hongbo (Chinese Fed head coach) which got lifted and then warped to justify a Yuzu-anti's stance. =( 

@ToniThanks so much for sharing Gishlain's impressions of Yuzu, it's really touching, but perhaps it would be a good idea to just remove any mention of anyone else at all? Even if you don't mention names, it starts gossip and I'm sure Gishlain wouldn't like that.

So, here's the thing: 

 

How do you guys do it? Hahaha how do you not feel gutted when Yuzu doesn't perform well or when he gets underscored? Please tell me how because this is my first time of following him religiously and boy was I sad. Lols. Also, does he really score low during the start of the season? 

In my case, it's PTSD after watching last season. That injury nearly finished me. Now I'm just happy he's still on the ice. And gold is gold, kuyashii or not. To me, the most important things about Yuzu's score in any competition is that he scores the highest overall. The rest simply doesn't matter to me. The judges could give him an overall score of 50 points and as long as they give everyone else 49.9 or less, I'll be happy with it.
