I always think back fondly to episode 10 of YOI and how up to that point the whole fandom was speculating about Victor’s motivations. Was he just using Yuuri to get his inspiration back or revitalize his own career? Was he terminally ill and couldn’t skate competitively anymore and was living vicariously through Yuuri? Why was he really doing all this?
And then episode 10 hits and it turns out nah, Victor doesn’t have some hidden agenda or dark secret, he’s just the world’s biggest lovesick puppy who fell in love with a drunk guy who danced with him at a party and then never called him back and left him pining for 6 months until he saw a YouTube video of his dream boy doing his routine and obviously this is destiny calling him to drop his highly successful career to chase after True Love because Victor Nikiforov wants to live his life like a romcom protagonist.
