*only* petered out in the 28th century!! 

 

Long live Hanyuism!!! 

[ZuCritter]

I was  about "Hanyuism" when a new word popped into my head:

 

Hanyuosity: a nearly superhuman display of athletic prowess and artistic brilliance, known to have been achieved, to date, by a single human being.

Or hanyuic, hanyuicity?

Yuzurious pretty much describes how I feel when I watch Yuzu skate.  Or stand still.

I shall also add my personal fave of "bamYuzulled", the dazed state of mind his chaos puts us in.

Yuzurious: the luxurious feeling of having watched Mr. Hanyu set blade to ice

Was thinking the exact same thing. Imagine being a 40th century archaeologist unearthing such a collection and trying to interpret it:

 

Dr. Archaeology: It appears that in the early 21st century, a cult arose around the figure of a youth who was said to fly over the ice on blades. Our researchers have unearthed thousands of ritual objects associated with said cult, in many sites across the planet formerly known as Earth. At its height, millions of people, mainly but not all women, adored this god-like figure. 

 

Dr. Social Anthropologist: The cult appears to have begun as a subset of the much larger worldwide obsession with competitive sport. Adherents were known to spend days at a time admiring their idol within the frozen temples that they called 'ice rinks'. Considerable time, energy, and expense were poured out to train competitors for the young 'god', who would then be summoned to compete for the edification of the masses watching. 

 

Dr. History: this cult, known at it's height as 'Hanyuism', eventually petered out in the 28th century, but not before inspiring unparalleled frenzies of devotion, such as the tossing of millions of fabric bears onto the sacred surface of the rink to conclude the competition ritual. 

 

Dr. Archaeology: Hanyuism has receded into the mist of time as nothing more than a 2000-year-old legend, until today. With the discovery of these troves of carefully preserved 'clear files', as worshippers called them, we now have incontrovertible proof that Yuzuru Hanyu really did exist. 

 

Dr. Social Anthropology: ...as impossible as that may seem. I mean, really, who would ever believe in the existence of a man who could rotate 4.5 or 5 times in the air above the ice, and land without harm? 

 

Dr.History: There are days when the Santa Claus myth seems far more plausible to me. 

I always wanted to be buried with stone tools, just to make things more funny for archeologists who will discover me. Now I also want to have engraved on them "fanyu 4ever".

The docu "another story (stories?)" is only available with the japanese dub right? I was trying to listen to what Javi says but its almost impossible to hear over the dub

Same for me.

Since the end of last holidays, "I am in a binge", my head turns after watching a few programs, plus I get the physical impression of skating fast, of turning, doing steps... which I cannot do physically (I have never skated). It has something to do with coming back on shore after a journey sailing. He is simply mindblowing.

Some coined terms that I think need to popularize in FS + examples that ignorant ISU commentator can refer to:

- Yuzuish (adj): a complete skater with good qualities in all aspects

(Eg: this xyz skater is very yuzuish and has great potential in future)

- Yuzugram (n): program music used to be skated by Yuzu

(Eg: The Yuzugrams prove to bring many juniors great results)

- Yuzucos (n): costume inspired by Yuzu

(Eg: this skater is wearing Yuzucos which becomes a trend recently)

- Yuzuxel (n): axel from back counter entry 

(Eg: He just did a Yuzuxel that got +1000000GOE across the board)

 

Very useful short terms that listeners can get the point instantly

Sorry this is slightly off-topic,

 

I'd like to create some GIF content of Yuzu.

 

Does anyone know of any free but decent online websites that can create GIF from videos (ideally without watermark)? Thanks!

Here's the next part of this long and touching interview after JNats, translated by the great team from Axel With Wings. It will never cease to amaze me how he's been able not to lose any of his genuineness in such conditions he's been dealing with for many years.
