Please do not identify Yuuri Katsuki with Yuzuru Hanyu. I hope anime fans respect real like skaters like Yuzuru Hanyu, Evgeni Plushenko as well as other skaters. Yuzuru Hanyu is NOT real life Yuri Katsuki, be it personalities or competitive results.
How do you see Yuzuru? My suggestion: Don’t be fooled by his cute and gentle looks. As an Olympic Champion, a World Champion, GPF champion, he is crazily hot-blooded, even more than most top athletes. Yuzuru himself really hates losing not just in skating but in EVERYTHING. Yuzuru is a very aggressive competitor. Below is his USUAL mad expression:
Yuzuru ALWAYS wants the gold and ALWAYS wants to be Number 1 in everything, be it study or sports, and he works very hard for it. He said in high school, once he placed 2nd in the class and he REALLY HATED it. His record at high school was All 5 which means he was a straight A student.
Yuzuru has won all junior titles when he was 15, won senior 4CC silver when he was 16, won World Championship bronze medal when he was 17, won GPF silver when he was 18, won Olympic Gold when he was 19, won World Championship when he was 19, won GPF 3 times consecutively, he has broken World Record 10 times ever since he was 17. An athlete of this caliber is NOT full of sugar and pinkness. Yuzuru is very strong willed and he is even against his coach’s wishes. He is full of fire, and if you cross his way badly he might throw you a death stare (just kidding ok).
Yuzuru himself also says when he pushes himself too much, his expression becomes too aggressive like a devil and his coach Tracy Wilson has to stop him from damaging himself. If you are not familiar with Yuzuru Hanyu’s personality, I recommend you watch this video showing most of his serious expressions: https://youtu.be/VRLSjs6r7TA
Yuzuru is tough as hell, he is always willing to compete, he DID NOT withdraw from competition even when he was scheduled to get surgery, even when he fell 5 times because of a nasty collision: https://youtu.be/Jf84VzlzLhI
Anime directors DID NOT create Yuuri Katsuki based on Yuzuru Hanyu. If there is any familiarity, it’s because they are all Japanese and respect a Russian legend. So please stop assuming that things happened to Yuzuru Hanyu would happen to Yuuri Katsuki in anime.
Yuzuru Hanyu is no one but Yuzuru Hanyu himself. He has many depths to his personalities and he is no anime character. He has trained skating ever since 4, suffered many injuries and hardships to get to where he is now. He is NOT just a pretty face.
I hope anime fans will not get offended because of this post. Please understand that I love anime. I have watched many anime series ever since high school. I understand anime and manga culture very well. I just hope that anime fans draw a line between anime and reality.
