01x10 - Gotta Supercharge it! Pre-Grand Prix Final Special!

[bunniefuu]

V: In life, you need vacations where you can be yourself,

V: away from your hectic everyday life.

V: When I get away from skating, two "L words" come to mind:

V: life and love.

V: I've been neglecting both for over twenty years.

Sign: Tenth Skate Gotta Supercharge It!! Pre-Grand Prix Final Special!

Y: Gotta Supercharge It!!

Y: Pre-Grand Prix Final Special!

V: Even Barcelona's cold in December.

Chris: I thought, other than me, only a Russian

Chris: would be stupid enough to get in the pool this time of year.

Chris: I guess I was right.

V: Chris!

Chris: Hi, Coach Victor!

Chris: And here I was hoping to go skinny dipping.

V: Don't let me stop you.

V: I'll even take photos for you.

V: My name is Victor Nikiforov.

V: I was kidding about being on vacation.

V: I just arrived in Barcelona, Spain, for the Grand Prix Figure Skating Final.

V: He's Christophe Giacometti from Switzerland.

Chris: Since you left, I'm one of the oldest...

Chris: And I'm only .

V: Nowadays, Chris is sexy both on and off the ice,

V: but when I first met him at the European Championships,

V: he was like a little boy running through the Swiss meadows.

V: I've shared the podium with Chris at many a Grand Prix Final,

V: European Championship, and World Championship.

V: I can't imagine a skating season without him,

V: and he has said that

V: he wouldn't be motivated in a season without me, either.

V: Despite all that, he was savvy enough

V: to make it to the Grand Prix Final.

Yakov: Yuri!

Yakov: At least check yourself in.

Yuri: You do it, Yakov.

Yuri: I'm tired.

Fans: Yuratchka!

Fans: Autograph, please!

Fans: Can I get a photo with you?

Yuri: You ug—

Lilia: Yuri Plisetsky, don't use unattractive words.

V: From Russia, we have Yuri Plisetsky.

V: At just , he's qualified for the GP Final first thing in his senior debut.

V: He's a tomboy cat under my former coach, Yakov.

V: After visiting Japan,

Sign : Yurio

V: he's been called by his nickname, "Yurio."

V: It's well-known that he has rabid fans called "Yuri's Angels,"

SFX,Sign : Meow

V: who appear at every competition.

JJGF: Wow, he's so popular.

JJ: Yuri's Angels are famous.

JJGF: Huh...

JJGF: But JJ Girls are better about following the rules,

JJGF: and we're cuter.

Yuri: Don't diss my fans and call them ugly, you ugly-ass bitch!

JJGF: So scary.

JJGF: Help, JJ.

JJ: Oh, he's just jealous because my fiancée is so beautiful.

V: I think he's the one named Jean-Jacques Leroy, from Canada.

V: He's a strong gold medal candidate,

V: but he has a certain unapproachable quality the other competitors don't.

Yuri: Any guy who wears sunglasses on his head is scum.

Yuri: Find someone better, ugly-ass bitch!

JJ: Hey, don't be so uppity.

JJGF: Scary!

JJ: Otabek!

JJ: Where are you going?

O: Out to eat.

V: Otabek Altin from Kazakhstan, age .

V: He rushed into the GP Final at full speed.

V: Ever since he shared the podium with me

V: at Worlds last season, I've sensed a certain presence about him.

V: But people don't know much about his personal life.

JJ: Eating alone?

JJ: You're still an odd one, huh?

JJ: Want to join us for dinner?

Ota: Thanks, but I'll pass.

V: It appears he's not interested in socializing with other skaters.

Yuri: Huh?

Yuri: What's with you, assh*le?

Phi: Yuri's not answering.

Phi: Ugh, I can't wait any longer!

Phi: I'm going to Sagrada Família!

Ciao: Just go.

Phi: Okay!

V: Phichit Chulanont from Thailand.

V: He won the Cup of China,

V: becoming the first Southeast Asian figure skater to qualify for the Grand Prix Final,

V: but I feel he's also peerless when it comes to skillful selfies.

V: He was Yuri's rink mate in Detroit,

V: and Yuri says he's the only foreign skater he considers a friend.

V: And among the six qualifiers for the Final,

SignC,Sign : Top Men's Singles Figure Skaters

V: the last one, who made it by a hair's width,

V: is this jet-lagged sleeping beauty, Katsuki Yuri from Japan.

V: I've come here with him as his coach.

V: After the Rostelecom Cup,

V: Yuri spent his few remaining days

OkayamaRink,Sign : Congratulations on Qualifying for the GPF Years in a Row! Thank You, Katsuki Yuri and Coach Victor Nikiforov!

V: until the Final maximizing his practice time.

V: When I think about it,

V: it's already been eight months since I first came to Hasetsu.

V: I can't remember when I last spent this much time with Maccachin.

V: Every day, I've been able to bathe in a bath bigger than any tub,

V: and I can eat all the delicious pork cutlet bowls I want.

V: This is heaven on Earth.

V: Yuri's life and love have taught me

V: about a brand new world that I'd never known before.

Y: Huh?

Y: Where's Victor?

Y: Oh, he's at the pool with Chris.

Y: Oh! Phichit-kun's...

Y: JJ...

Y: Yurio...

Y: Wow.

Y: "Now that I know what love is and am stronger for it,

Y: I'll prove it to myself with a Grand Prix Final gold medal," huh?

Y: Help me, Victor.

V: Yuri!

V: I'm freezing!

V: Please draw a hot bath!

Gia: Yuri, can you make coffee, too?

V: You were still asleep?

Y: Whoa!

Y: Y-You're freezing!

Y: Quit clinging to me! Both of you!

V: The aggressive jump composition Yuri's planned in order to win

V: includes a quadruple flip, which he's yet to land, as his final free skate jump.

V: If he sticks with his old jumps,

V: even if he skates a flawless program, JJ has a higher base score.

Y: Okay.

JJ: I'm done with practice!

JJ: Off I go!

Yakov: Yuri, let's go over it one last time.

V: Yuri, what do you want to do now?

V: I recommend a good night's rest to prepare for tomorrow's short program.

Y: Don't be such a model coach now.

Y: This is my first time in Barcelona, so take me sightseeing.

V: Leave it to me!

YV: Yeah!

YV: Salud!

YV: Perfecto!

V: Yeah!

V: I haven't shopped in ages. This is fun!

Y: Hey, let me take a breather.

V: I would've liked to shop when the Euro was weaker, though.

V: You don't want anything, Yuri?

Y: Oh... Nah.

V: Every competitor has a different way of winding down.

V: It's unusual for Yuri to suggest sightseeing.

V: It might mean he's just that nervous this time around.

V: Okay, then...

V: Yuri!

V: I'll buy you a suit for your birthday!

V: I think you should burn the suit and tie you wore at that press conference.

Y: Huh?

Y: Wait, you don't have to!

Y: I kind of like that suit!

Y: Hey, Victor!

Fans: Where's Yuratchka?

Fans: We're about to have a fan meeting.

Fans: I can smell Yuratchka! It's coming from over here!

Fans: Oh, this hair is Yuratchka's!

Yuri: Crap...

Yuri: How do I get myself out of this?

Ota: Yuri, get on.

Yuri: Huh? You're...

Fans: There's Yuratchka!

Fans: Huh? No way!

Fans: It's Otabek Altin from Kazakhstan!

Yuri: Huh? What?

Ota: Are you coming or not?

V: I'm sure athletes aren't the only ones who are sensitive

V: to tailwinds that can take one to worlds unknown.

V: News that the hero of Kazakhstan kidnapped the fairy of Russia

SignC,V: The fairy of Russia, Yuri Plisetsky, rides off on a motorbike with Otabek, the hero of Kazakhstan

V: spread across the world like wildfire.

V: However, the hero didn't lure the fairy out on a mere whim.

V: Yurio thought they had nothing in common,

V: but five years prior, they had actually trained together

V: at Yakov's summer camp.

Yuri: Really?

Yuri: I don't remember that!

Ota: At the time, I was in my first year in the junior division.

Ota: But I couldn't keep up with the Russian junior skaters,

Ota: so I was put in the novice class.

Ota: That's where I met you.

Ota: Yuri Plisetsky had the unforgettable eyes of a soldier.

Yuri: A soldier?

Yuri: Me?

Yuri: I had just moved my home rink from Moscow to St. Petersburg.

Yuri: I was desperate.

Yuri: I'd decided that I wouldn't complain until I was good enough.

Ota: After that camp,

Ota: I moved around to train, from Russia to the US and then to Canada.

Ota: I only managed to return to my home rink in Almaty last year.

Ota: Now, more than ever, I want to win the championship for Kazakhstan.

Yuri: Otabek, why did you talk to me?

Yuri: I'm a rival, aren't I?

Ota: I've always thought we were alike.

Ota: That's all.

Ota: Are you going to become friends with me or not?

V: Yurio had never been asked to become friends before!

V: Now, back to the main story where I'm shopping with Yuri.

V: Here, the mood had turned sour!

Y: It's not here, either.

V: Yuri, calm down and remember.

V: It's the bag of nuts we just bought.

V: It's a brown bag with green print.

Y: Sorry.

Y: I have no idea where I dropped it.

Y: I'll go back to the shop and get another bag!

V: It's okay, Yuri.

V: The nuts shop would be closed by now.

V: Let's head back. You're tired, right?

Y: You don't have to say it like that!

V: Well, I'm tired.

V: We ended up walking in silence, looking around at the nearby Christmas market.

Y: Victor, your birthday is Christmas Day, right?

V: Yeah.

Y: What would you like for your gift?

V: In Russia, we don't celebrate before the actual birthday.

V: We don't really celebrate Christmas, either.

Y: I see.

V: Do you want some hot wine, too?

Y: Ah, I try not to drink before a competition.

V: Oh, right.

V: When Yuri's searching for an answer,

V: his eyes sparkle, even if he doesn't say anything.

V: He's looking for something right now, like a dowsing rod.

V: I'll just watch over him without making conversation.

Y: Victor!

Y: Let's go in this store!

Y: Can you show me these two in front?

Y: I've always wanted a lucky charm.

Y: I-It's a lucky charm so that I can do my best in the Final!

Y: It's also a thank you gift to Victor for all of his help.

Y: This one, please. I'll pay in installments.

V: Sometimes, when backed into a corner,

V: athletes can act completely unexpectedly.

Y: Thank you for everything up to now.

Y: I... I couldn't think of something better.

Y: But, um...

Y: I'll try my best from tomorrow on, so...

Y: Tell me something for good luck.

V: Sure.

V: I'll say something you won't even have to think about.

V: Tomorrow, show me the skating that you can honestly say you liked best.

Y: Okay!

V: That's the only shortcut to a gold medal that I know.

Y: I'm hungry.

V: Let's go grab a bite.

V: I have absolute faith in what you decide, Yuri.

Minako: What's wrong, Mari-chan?

YSis: Yurio looks like he's enjoying having tea with someone!

Yuri: Whoa, really?

Minako: It's Otabek from Kazakhstan!

Y: Oh, Minako-sensei, Mari-neechan. You're already here.

YSis: Crap, crap, crap.

Ladies: Yuri, we need a huge favor!

Y: You're way too happy about this.

Minako: I could just die right now!

Yuri: Why did we all have to get together?

Minako: How much should I pay you?

Phi: Hello, ladies.

Y: Still, it's kind of weird for us all to be here like this

YSis: Yurio, have some shrimp!

YSis: Picture, picture!

Yuri: Oh, sure.

Y: before the Final starts.

Y: At last year's Final,

Y: I was always by myself, even at the banquet.

Y: I couldn't even talk to Victor.

V: Yuri, you don't remember?

Y: What?

Chris: Yuri, you got drunk on champagne and started dancing.

Chris: Everyone saw it.

Y: Huh?!

Yuri: That was disgusting as hell.

Yuri: I was dragged into a dance-off and got humiliated, too!

Y: A dance-off?

Y: With Yurio?

Chris: I did mine with a pole dance, half-naked.

Y: I start going off the rails when I drink, just like my

Y: Kyushu born-and-bred dad, so I was trying to lay off, but...

V: The banquet refers to the party held after the competition.

V: Learning proper social skills and etiquette is also important for skaters.

Ciao: What's wrong, Yuri?

V: Last year, Yuri suffered a crushing defeat in the Final.

Ciao: You look so glum.

Ciao: Have you had anything to drink?

V: He looked like his coach had dragged him to the banquet.

Ciao: To eat?

Ciao: There's pizza...

V: At least, at first.

V: Since he couldn't mingle well with other skaters,

V: he kept drinking champagne, and...

V: I still have videos of what happened.

Chris: I do, too.

Phi: Wait, what?

Phi: Yuri, that's so dirty.

Ladies: I want to see!

Y: Don't look!

Y: W-Wait... Cut it out already!

V: Isn't this amazing?

Chris: What's with the rings, you two?

YSis: Huh? Rings?

Minako: I don't remember you wearing that.

Y: U-Um, this is...

V: They're a pair!

Phi: Congrats on your marriage!

Phi: Wait, no...

Y: Um...

Phi: Everyone!

Phi: My good friend here got married!

Y: N-No, this is, um...

Y: It's to thank him for all his help...

Y: And lots of other things... Yes, other things!

V: Yeah, don't get the wrong idea.

V: This is an engagement ring.

V: We'll get married once he wins a gold medal.

Y: What?

V: Right, Yuri?

Y: V-Victor!

Ota: A gold...

Phi: ...medal...

Chris: ...huh?

Y: Uh, well, um...

JJ: Wait a second!

JJ: I'll be the one who wins gold and gets married, of course!

JJGF: That's right, it'll definitely be JJ.

JJ: Sorry we can't congratulate you on that future marriage.

V: Well, tomorrow's an early start. Better call it a night.

JJ: Huh, what?

JJ: Hey, wait a second.

JJ: I was just joking!

Yuri: Victor Nikiforov is dead!

Yuri: Why do you look so happy to be looking after that damn pig?

V: Did you want to compete against me?

Yuri: Don't be so full of yourself.

Yuri: Not all skaters look up to you.

Yuri: Just go away already, geezer.

Yuri: The ring you got from that pig is garbage.

Yuri: I'll win just to prove how incompetent his owner is.

Yuri: Let me go!

V: If I'd stayed in Russia as a competitor,

V: Yurio wouldn't be this motivated to fight.

V: And neither would I...

Yuri: This place reminds me of Hasetsu's ocean.

V: I thought that, too.

V: Yuri, you may not realize this,

V: but many others besides me got their "L words" from you.

YSis: Wow!

YSis: It feels like it's really happening.

Minako: Mari-chan, take my picture!
