Breaking down the episode 10 twist and why Viktor was always pining for Yuri
I know I’m literally 3 years late, but I was rewatching the show with an even bigger mind and picked things up that I wouldn’t have back in 2016.
Let’s begin with the dinner after Yuri and Viktor got “engaged”. Yuri stated that he “couldn’t even talk to Viktor” which lead to this classic spittake.
Of couse, Viktor was shocked. The Yuri he first met was fun, flirty, but blackout drunk. He had always presumed Yuri remembered the banquet, which looked like this:
Yuri’s loose, and dancing pretty exotically with Viktor. And let’s not forget he was pole dancing half-naked.
Also, drunk Yuri asked Viktor to become his coach. It wasn’t just because he saw the video the triplets posted online. But we’ll get to that after.
Look at that expression. Sure they’re hammered, but that’s an epiphany. That’s love. There was constant flirting throughout the banquet, and when Yuri flew back to Japan and respectively, Viktor to Russia, there couldn’t be further communication. Until Viktor saw the video of Yuri skating to “Stay Close to Me.”
It’s confirmed that this sensation was perceived as a love letter. What other way could Yuri reach out to him than by skating to the winning choreography, skated by the man he wanted himself?
That’s what Viktor thought, obviously. So he hopped on a flight and flew to be with Yuri in Japan. After meeting him again, assuming Yuri remembered the banquet, Viktor begins to flirt with Yuri. Hard.
And when he found out that Yuri didn’t remember the banquet and that their first sober encounter was when Viktor was being flirty, he was embarrassed by his own actions and sput his drink out.
So, Viktor composed the Agape and Eros choreography just for Yuri. And when he had imagined the story of Eros, Yuri pictured a playboy seducing a fair maiden, then leaving, seemingly bored of her. He then states that he’s the maiden in this tale.
But, Yuri is actually the playboy, seducing Viktor and then leaving without a trace, as if the encounter was nothing to him. I couldn’t imagine a better written plot. I love them so much.
