Moro: And now, Katsuki Yuri is the last skater remaining on the ice.

V: Yuri.

Y: Yes?

Moro: His coach is empowering their matching rings in a prayer for victory.

Sala: Why matching rings?

: Yuri, good luck!

Miche: Lucky... I wish I had one with Sala!

V: Sure. 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: I'm off!

Moro: He's greeted by a roaring crowd as he takes the ice.

YSis: Yuri!

Moro: Katsuki Yuri of Japan.

Minako: You can do it!

Minami: Yuri-kun!

Moro: One year after he finished the Final in last place,

Moro: Katsuki Yuri is about to start his short program.

Moro: He is skating to "On Love: Eros."

Moro: So, Oda-san, he's supposedly changed his jump composition in this program.

Oda: Yes, after the Rostelecom Cup, it was changed for even higher marks.

Y: Even if I top my personal best again, I can't b*at JJ.

Y: His program has . points on mine in the jumps' base value alone.

Y: If I don't change my program...

V: You want to change the jump to a quad flip in your short program?

V: You've barely even landed that jump cleanly in practice.

Y: Yeah.

Y: But I still have time to improve the execution.

Y: Finding out how far I can push my limits to win

Y: will motivate me to fight through the Final!

Y: Don't you want to see it, Victor?

Y: To see me land a quadruple flip with a + GOE?

V: I do!

Y: Right?

Y: Since then, I've focused practice time on the quadruple flip,

Y: but my success rate is still low.

Y: I've decided to go for it, though.

V: Yuri doesn't doubt his decisions anymore.

V: And yet, I feel like my own heart is about to explode.

Oda: A triple axel.

Oda: That jump has a difficult entry, so it will get higher marks.

Moro: Next up is a quadruple jump combination.

Oda: Quadruple Salchow, triple toe loop.

V: Yes!

Moro: Another success!

V: Excitement courses through the body, down to the toes,

V: and is released!

Moro: Now, the highly anticipated quadruple flip.

V: Good, just use that speed to...

Oda: A quadruple flip,

Oda: but one hand on the ice.

Moro: That spin received a level four rating again this season.

Emil: That was close!

Kids: That flip had enough rotation, right?

Yuko: It was fine!

Minami: Yuri-kun's sit spin position is so beautiful!

Kids: Dad, what would the base value be?

Nishi: I'm calculating that now!

News: What do you have in mind for next season?

V: When I approached every program like a new beginning,

V: I could always surprise everyone.

V: But that also held me back...

V: "I can only find new strength on my own."

V: That's what I always thought.

Moro: Here comes the score for Katsuki Yuri.

Ranking,Sign : RK: Katsuki Yuri Total

Moro: His score is ..

Moro: It didn't break the mark, but it's still a high score.

V: Now I can feel new emotions flowing into me through Yuri.

V: What should I give Yuri now?

Moro: Next is Thailand's Phichit Chulanont.

Moro: He is skating to "Shall We Skate?"

Moro: He has a lot of supporters here from Thailand.

Moro: Here comes the first jump...

Oda: A triple axel.

ThaiTV: Phichit Chulanont is the first Thai skater to advance to a Grand Prix Final.

ThaiTV: His career began when his talent was discovered

ThaiTV: as he skated at a rink in a Bangkok commercial district.

ThaiTV: He moved to Detroit by himself to train under Coach Celestino.

ThaiTV: Last year, he made Thailand his home rink again.

Oda: Triple Lutz, triple toe loop.

Phi: My only quad is the toe loop.

Phi: It'll be hard to earn higher scores than the others.

Oda: A quadruple toe loop.

Phi: I have no past accomplishments to defend.

Phi: This is my new beginning!

Phi: It's a waste if I'm not as excited as a child

CC: Massimo!

Phi: drawing art no one's ever seen before on a blank canvas!

Phi: Yuri...

Phi: I want to skate to "Shall We Skate?"

Phi: Even though it stars a Thai actor,

Phi: no Thai skater has ever used the music in a program.

Phi: Someday, I'll skate to it at a major competition.

Phi: You'll be there, too, Yuri!

Moro: That was a flawless performance from Phichit Chulanont!

CC: Bravo!

Oda: He seems to be feeling a release from the immense pressure.

Oda: Really, that was amazing.

Y: Phichit-kun... You were a perfect entertainer until the very end!

Yuri: How long are you idiots gonna sit in the kiss and cry?!

Y: Yurio...

V: Davai.

Moro: Phichit Chulanont's score is .!

Phi: Ciao Ciao!

Moro: That's a new personal best!

Phi: Yeah!

Moro: He's currently in second!

Moro: Here's Russia's next generation, Yuri Plisetsky.

YSis: Yurio!

Minako: Davai! Davai!

Moro: He is skating to "On Love: Agape."

Moro: The program was choreographed by Victor Nikiforov.

Moro: Yuri Plisetsky has said that his relative lack of experience

Moro: kept him from skating to his full potential at the Rostelecom Cup due to nerves.

Moro: Here comes the first jump.

Oda: A triple axel.

Oda: He used a raised arm with the jump, earning higher marks for a greater degree of difficulty.

Oda: A flying sit spin.

Moro: He won at the Golden Spin, held right before the Final.

Yakov: All Yuri lacks in the senior division is experience.

Yakov: Yuri has sought help to address that,

Yakov: and we have provided the resources.

Lilia: His short program will have "agape" as its theme.

Lilia: I believe he's found an entrance to "love" through his many encounters with others.

Lilia: People shine brightest when they

Lilia: seek to understand what kind of love sustains them.

Yakov: Vitya...

Moro: Now, in the second half of his program,

Moro: we'll see a quadruple-triple combination.

Oda: Quadruple Salchow, triple toe loop.

Moro: That was mind-blowing!

Oda: He did the jump with one arm raised. It was perfect.

Moro: The last jump is also a quad.

Oda: A quadruple toe loop.

Moro: He did it!

Oda: This time, he had both arms raised.

Moro: All of his jumps were flawless!

Oda: Here comes the step sequence.

Y: Huh? Victor's not here.

Moro: He's attempting difficult elements with the highest possible execution.

Moro: A beautiful monster continues to evolve to even greater heights!

Yuri: Oh... My mind went blank in the middle of it.

Y: Victor—

Moro: What score will we see here?

Moro: Yuri Plisetsky's score is .!

Ranking,Sign: RK: Yuri Plisetsky Total

Moro: He's surpassed the world record set by Victor Nikiforov!

Yuri: I've got this!

Yakov: That's my Yuratchka!

Y: I got curious about how it was going, too.

V: Chris is about to take the ice. Let's find a seat.

Y: Okay.

Moro: The next skater is Christophe Giacometti of Switzerland, age .

Moro: The audience is still awestruck by Yuri Plisetsky's new world record,

Minako: Chris!

Moro: but the arena is filling with Swiss flags!

Moro: He is skating to "Intoxicated."

Moro: He's changing the mood degrees, from agape to adult sex appeal.

Moro: He's planned a quad for his first jump.

Oda: A quadruple Lutz.

Moro: Look at the flow of that jump!

Oda: Combination spin.

Moro: Though he's advanced to the Final each year,

Moro: Christophe Giacometti has never won the event.

Moro: How does longtime rival Victor Nikiforov feel

Moro: as he watches him perform from the audience?

Chris: Yuri, you're not the only skater

Chris: who's always watched Victor climb the podium until now.

Chris: Given my age, I won't be able to qualify for the Final much longer.

Chris: To tell the truth, the first season without Victor is boring...

ISU: Chris, we're here.

Chris: You always come too early.

Chris: But that's why I'll make this Final extra special!

Oda: A triple axel.

Moro: That was perfect.

Oda: The jump's height and distance were flawless.

Chris: Victor, watch this from the audience.

Y: Victor...

Y: I thought the same thing when he watched Yurio earlier, but...

Oda: Oops, that quad was just a bit under-rotated.

Y: His last jump had a flaw, but of course, it's still Chris.

Y: Everything in his program has great execution.

Y: He may outscore me.

Chris: I don't give up that easily, you know.

Moro: Christophe Giacometti's score is .!

V: Chris!

Moro: He's passed Katsuki Yuri and is currently in second place.

Yuri: Davai!

Moro: Now we have Otabek Altin of Kazakhstan.

Moro: This is his very first Final, after finishing the Grand Prix Series in second.

Minako: Davai!

Moro: He is skating to "Samarkand Overture."

Moro: Altin is a dark horse in this year's Grand Prix Series.

Moro: He was telling us that he'd like to bring gold back to his country.

Moro: Here's the first jump.

Oda: Quadruple toe loop, triple toe loop!

Moro: Success!

Sala: Otabek wasn't very memorable in the past.

Sala: He's completely different now.

Miche: He wasn't known at all until the junior division.

Coach: Otabek, why are you embarrassed?

Ota: I have fewer resources, and the other talent is overwhelming.

Ota: If I can't demonstrate something they can't do,

Ota: I'll never win.

Ota: I haven't done ballet ever since.

Ota: There is no right path.

Ota: The ice is a b*ttlefield.

Ota: I am going to survive!

Oda: A triple axel.

Moro: Look at that height and distance!

Moro: That's Otabek Altin's triple axel!

Moro: The last jump...

Oda: A quadruple Salchow.

Moro: That had great flow!

Y: Otabek's jumps were flawless, too.

Y: His skating shows no hesitation.

Y: That determination is very much his trademark.

Yuri: Another score higher than the pig's.

V: He's great.

V: That was very exotic!

V: It felt so fresh!

JJMom: Come on, go.

JJDad: JJ, show them! Show them good!

Moro: Yuri Plisetsky remains in first place as we welcome the last skater,

Yuri: Yeah!

Moro: Jean-Jacques Leroy.

Moro: Just listen to all the "JJ" shouts in the arena.

Moro: He's the only skater here who won both his qualifying events

Moro: with flawless performances.

Moro: He is skating to "Theme of King JJ."

JJ: What I'm after isn't just

JJ: complete supremacy over the Grand Prix Series,

JJ: but also a grand slam of the Canadian Nationals,

JJ: the Four Continents, and World Championship.

JJ: Right now, it's totally within my reach—

Oda: Hmm, the quadruple toe loop...

Moro: He'd planned a combination, but there was only one jump.

JJ: I'll just turn the quad in the second half into a combination!

JJ: No problem!

Oda: The triple axel turned into a single...

Y: Oops.

JJMom: JJ...

JJDad: Damn it.

JJDad: He let himself be swallowed by the Grand Prix Final pressure.

Y: JJ just can't stay stuck in one place.
