So after some of the hype cooled down bc AMAZING episode thereās still something that bugged me a freaking lot.
Yuriās behavior anyone??????? Okay I get he is 15 and his new friend Otabek Altin says he recognized in his eyes his resolve, so we get heās a spirited kid that was just born to fight to get the things he wants. Then again he was super aggressive towards Victor in the scene they shared, but something else happened toooooooo!!! Victor was also aggressive there.
Okay what Iām trying to explain here bc one-sided!YuYuu shipper here lol is that Yuri was challenging Victor and his relationship with Yuuri because he likes, likes Yuuri. I KNOW ITāS CRAZY BUT HEAR ME OUT.
Yuri is clearly bitter about the situation involving Victor and Yuuri. And here I was like⦠yeah heās bitter because he also wanted to get Victorās attention.
Victor asks him this then. And I was like Yeah Yuri wanted to win against this man bc hello? Russiaās hero???? Yuri of course denies it and is likeĀ āDonāt be so full of yourselfā. We can only presume what the hell is this kid actually thinking bc heās all serious telling VictorĀ āDonāt be so full of yourselfā. If Yuri admires him (I think he does) I donāt think heād admit that anytime soonāĀ
NEXT HOWEVER IS THE IMPORTANT PART. THIS HAPPENS.
Victor loses his composure towards Yuri for the first time. Yuri expresses his discontent towards Victorās presence and the reasons right now can only be interpreted oƱhfioehaoigg (we so need another Yurioās POV).
HOWEVER THINGS ESCALATE QUICKLY FROM THERE ON.
Yuri tells Victor the ring, the symbol of his union (engagement cough) with Yuuri is garbage, practically that it is worthless and he couldnāt give a shit about it, that he will WIN just to prove how incompetent Victor (the owner) is. AND THE WAY HIS EYES FLICKER WITH EMOTION AND RESOLVE AS HE SAYS THIS, SO MUCH FIGHTING SPIRIT THERE.
If Yuri wins, then thereās no wedding cos no gold medal for Yuuri. If he wins, he is gonna show Yuuri and everyone how incompetent Victor is. AND THE WAY VICTOR LOOKS AT THIS CHALLENGE AS HE STARES DOWN AT YURI.
SO MANY THINGS HAPPENING HERE.
Then Yuri leaves and Victor reflects on a bit of what happened there. He says that if he had stayed in Russia as a competitor, Yuri wouldnāt be this motivated to fight. Here we can only guess what heās talking about. BUT THE IMPORTANT PART IS THIS ONE: Yuuri you may not realize this
I THINK HE IS TALKING ABOUT YURI. YURI ALSO GOT THE WORDSĀ āLIFEā ANDĀ āLOVEā FROM YUURI.
Yuri was openly aggressive towards Victor. He could have gone to bother Yuuri and tell him he should be focusing on trying to win instead of doing stupid shit or anything rude like that BUT as we saw in the past chapter, Yuri is in good terms with Yuuri. HE WENT TO LOOK FOR HIM AND CHEER HIM UP AFTER REMEMBERING SOMETHING YUURI WANTED TO DO WITH VICTOR AND GAVE HIM HIS PRECIOUS PIROZHKI WITH KATSUDON INSIDE AND HE ALSO KNEW HIS BDAY WAS CLOSE AND EVEN WAS FEELING FRUSTRATED WHEN YUURI WAS FAILING AT HIS FREE PROGRAM.
Instead of going to find Yuuri and make his war declaration, he went to Victor and was the bitter 15 y.o. version of the person he is right now and I think itās because he likes Yuuri ;;;;;;
But I can only guess I just needed to vent out bc this scene really bugs me a lot and I know things can be missed in translation BUT I NEED TO KNOW RIGHT NOW WHAT THE HELL and yeahā byeā
