Episode 10 from Yuuriâs POV
We see episode 10 almost all through Viktorâs perspective, note how Yuuri is shown sleeping at both the beginning and the end,
because this is Victorâs episode and not Yuuriâs and Victor has a wildly different perspectives on things, emphasized by the banquet reveal.
But lets think about ep 10 if we assume that Yuuri was going to follow through on his thoughts in ep 9.
Iâve seen some complaint that ep 11 feels weak or lacks foreshadowing, and I think it may have too subtle, but it was built up if you stop and think about it.
In particular if we accept the idea that Yuuri is doing everything in episode 10 as his last day to spend with Victor:
1) explains why he asks for Victor to take him sight seeing and shopping because he knows Victor loves this sort of stuff even if as Victor notes that this isnât something Yuuri is into, which once again suggests he was doing it for Victor.
This then doubles as a sort of character development moment for Yuuri because look at him be sensitive to the wants of another person. The fact that the blu-ray changed it to Yuuri winking at Victor, something associated with Victor not Yuuri, emphasizes the fact that this wasnât about Yuuriâs personal desire to sight see. It was his personal desire to spend time with Victor and see Victor enjoy himself.
Also note how Yuuri is looking in the opposite direction from Victor as Victor is theorizing about why Yuuri decided on sightseeing and the answer he comes up with is that Yuuri is just so stressed that heâs reacting strangely. This isnât the case, thus Yuuri looking in another direction.
2) Also this might partly explain why Yuuri freaks out about the nuts as much as he does, on one hand he is an anxious person, but his insistence on replacing the bag makes a lot of sense if you consider its really about Yuuri freaking out over there being an unpleasant flaw in whatâs supposed to be his perfect last day with Victor.
In the scene right after Yuri and Otabek agree to be friends Victor narrates âBack to my storyâ which is funny, but also emphasizes the fact that this is really being told from Victorâs POV who because he was absent at the Rostelcom doesnât really have a clue about what Yuuri has decided.
This is also why when they exchange rings Yuuri does it with all the significant and romantic subtext there is, but he doesnât explicitly say anything because on one hand Yuuri speaks with his actions not his words sort of guy, but also he knows this is the end but gold with its symbolism of eternity (a whole other post tbh) it embodies his desire to be tied to Victor even though he knows theyâre going to be separated soon.
Thus his complicated reaction to the engagement where he gets a weird determined face at Victor for calling it that, but he doesnât vocally confirm because he canât make that sort of promise at this point in time.
Tldr: if you read episode 10 from Yuuriâs POV itâs actually really sad.
