Girl: Victor!

Girl: Are you really a coach now?

Girl: Just split up with him already.

Chris: Yuri, the sin of keeping Victor to yourself is grave.

Girl: You know it won't last. Don't you feel sorry for him?

Chris: The whole world is hoping for his return.

Moro: Now, Group in the Men's Single Short Program is about to take to the ice.

Cele: Listen, Phichit.

Cele: I'm certain that these short and free skate programs

Cele: will become your signature performances.

Cele: Looks like I don't need to say anything more.

Moro: First up is Phichit Chulanont from Thailand, age .

Moro: After placing fourth in Skate America, the first Grand Prix Series event,

Moro: he'll need to place second or higher here in order to qualify for the finals.

Cele: This will be the first time a Thai skater performs this piece.

Cele: Write a new chapter for skating in Southeast Asia!

Moro: The music is "Shall We Skate?" from The King and the Skater.

Moro: The audience is already clapping to the familiar theme.

Moro: The King and the Skater was the first movie he saw,

Moro: and it's had a big influence on him.

Moro: His first planned jump is a triple axel.

Moro: Nailed it.

Y: He's said he wanted to skate to this music for a long time.

Y: Phichit-kun's giving everything he has to this season, too.

Pich: Many different people have skated to this music,

Pich: but I'll overwrite that history!

Pich: This music is mine!

Moro: More jumps are on the way as his program enters its second half.

Moro: The first is a combination.

Taka: A triple Lutz, followed by a triple toe loop.

Cele: Yes!

Molo: Now we have a jump added to the second half to secure a win...

Taka: The quadruple toe loop.

Moro: Oh, he fell!

Taka: But he got enough rotations in.

Moro: He got up immediately, so his program's proceeding.

Taka: Following this, he'll do a combination spin.

Cele: He's got the entire audience on his side.

Y: He's made the music his own...

Cele: Bravo!

Moro: An amazing performance by Phichit Chulanont!

Ji: Oh, man...

Coach: Keep it together!

Moro: It's his new personal best by a large margin!

Audience: Guang-Hong! Jiayou!

Moro: He is skating to "Le Parfum des Fleurs."

JGH: Phichit-kun was amazing.

JGH: Wait, I can do this.

Moro: His first planned jump is a quadruple toe loop,

Moro: which was just added to his roster this year.

Phi: Guang-Hong landed his quadruple toe loop!

Y: After seeing Phichit-kun's performance, I'm no longer unsure.

Y: People who want to see Victor skate will never be satisfied with my skating.

Y: The people who're cheering for me wouldn't be satisfied with the old me, either.

Y: If that's the case,

Y: I want to be hated as the man who took Victor from the whole world!

Chris: Victor, is he all right?

V: Shh!

V: I've never seen Yuri like this.

Mila: Yuri, it's about to start.

Mila: Come watch with us.

Yuri: I'm fine.

Yuri: I'll watch from over here.

Moro: The last skater from Group is Katsuki Yuri from Japan.

V: The time to seduce me by picturing pork cutlet bowls and women during your skate is over.

V: You can fight with your own personal charm.

V: You can envision it just fine, can't you?

Y: Don't ever take your eyes off me.

V: He's far too different today.

V: What's flipped his switch?

Moro: K-Katsuki Yuri from Japan is skating his first program of the Grand Prix series.

Moro: The music is "On Love: Eros."

Moro: He's declared this year's theme to be "love."

Taka: Well, he's certainly changed drastically from previous seasons.

Taka: Maybe living with his coach, Victor, has changed things for him mentally.

Moro: Katsuki has told us he'd like to pursue eros in his short program.

Y: They can laugh at me all they want.

Y: They can think it's not like me.

Y: But everyone really wants to know the new me, don't they?

V: Perfect!

Moro: What an amazing step sequence!

Moro: That was wonderful!

Phi: Wow.

Moro: Katsuki Yuri has planned all his jumps for the second half of the program

Moro: to get higher scores so he can win the Grand Prix Final.

Taka: Well, this will be tough.

Moro: The first planned jump is a triple axel.

Moro: Here we go, from a spread eagle into...

Moro: a triple axel.

Moro: Nice height!

Moro: Okay, next up is a quadruple Salchow.

Moro: In competition, he's landed it less than % of the time.

Taka: A quadruple Salchow.

Moro: He nailed it!

Y: I'm the only one who can satisfy Victor.

Y: I'm the only one in the whole world who knows Victor's love.

Y: I'll prove that now.

Taka: Quadruple toe loop, followed by a triple toe loop.

Moro: He did it!

Moro: So far, all the jumps have been flawless!

Chris: He's totally different from last year...

Moro: He's about to complete a short program with the highest technical difficulty in history!

Moro: You're witnessing the birth of a new Katsuki Yuri!

Moro: Love wins!

Moro: No one can deny that this was a perfect performance!

Moro: It's a personal best for Katsuki Yuri.

Phi: Yuri!

Moro: The audience is still on their feet!

Moro: He used last season's disappointment as a springboard

Moro: to learn what love is, and he's undergone an astounding transformation!

V: That was perfect.

V: Yuri!

Chris: The kiss and cry's that way.

Moro: Well, his coach, Victor, looks very happy!

V: Yuri, did it feel that great?

Y: Well, I was hoping everyone else felt great watching me.

Moro: And we have his short program score: .!

Moro: A new personal best!

Moro: He's currently in first place!

V: Yuri!

V: Of course they'd feel great watching a performance like that.

V: You're the best student.

Coach: You don't look amused, Chris.

Leo: Focus, focus!

Phi: Wow.

Phi: He's never scored that high before.

Celes: Don't worry about it.

Celes: The free skate is where it counts.

Celes: Besides, Yuri isn't used to being the one to b*at.

Yakov: Listen.

Yakov: You've been in Victor's shadow all this time,

Yakov: but now is your chance.

Yakov: Go make your mark.

Popo: Got it.

Mila: Hey, Georgi's about to start.

Yuri: Whatever.

Popo: Now that Victor's gone,

Moro: Georgi Popovich, age , from Russia.

Moro: This season's theme is "heartbreak."

Moro: The music is "Carabosse" from The Sleeping Beauty.

Taka: A triple axel.

Mila: This still cracks me up every time.

Popo: As the evil witch, Carabosse, I cast a curse on her.

Popo: Only true love's kiss can awaken her.

ExGF: Dasvidaniya.

Popo: But there is no such thing as true love!

Mila: Oh, I heard he broke up with the ice dancer

Mila: he always used to post kissy photos with.

Mila: She hooked up with a different guy recently.

Mila: Did you know that, Yuri?

Yuri: Shut up, hag!

Taka: A quadruple Salchow.

Moro: What an emotional performance!

Mila: Yikes, he's actually crying.

Yuri: Seriously?

Popo: I'll hunt you to the ends of the earth, and I'll find you!

Popo: "Forgive me. I was wrong, Georgi."

Popo: "Never, you traitor!"

Popo: "No! Oh!"

Taka: A triple Lutz, triple loop combination.

Mila: I can almost hear her terrified voice.

Yuri: He's way too into this performance.

Moro: His step sequence is intense.

Popo: I will cast an eternal curse on her.

Popo: I am an evil witch!

Popo: My curse will cause her to sleep for eternity.

Yakov: Georgi,

Yakov: I'm finally seeing a performance worthy of who you are.

Moro: Georgi Popovich's short program score is ..

Yuri: Seriously?

Yuri: That's gotta suck.

Moro: Leo de la Iglesia, age , from the United States.

Phi: Leo-kun's performance has been really polished ever since the first event.

Moro: The music is "Still Alive," choreographed by the skater himself.

Leo: It's a song I like, so I just want to skate the way I see the music.

Leo: That's all.

Taka: A triple axel.

Leo: I want to fill the whole world with things I like!

JGH: Man, Leo-kun's so cool.

Phi: He's switched things up even more since Skate America.

Moro: After winning Skate America,

Moro: he is closest among those competing in the Cup of China

Moro: to qualifying for the Grand Prix Final.

Moro: There are no quads in his program,

: but he's earned high marks for the five program components, such as interpretation.

Taka: A triple flip, triple toe loop combination.

Moro: He's nailing all the elements to go for a high score!

Leo: All I know for sure is that I have no idea how I would've found courage in myself

Leo: if I hadn't come across music.

Taka: A triple Lutz.

Moro: He nailed the last jump with a flourish!

Y: This program maximizes Leo-kun's strengths.

Moro: That was Leo de la Iglesia from the United States.

Moro: Hear the crowd roar! That was a solid short program!

Moro: What an amazing program after Skate America!

Phi: Damn it...

Moro: The final skater is Christophe Giacometti, age , from Switzerland.

Moro: He's the silver medalist in last year's Grand Prix Final.

Minako: He's just oozing sex appeal!

Chris: I thought it'd be a boring season without Victor,

Chris: but I don't want to lose to you, Yuri.

Chris: Mature eros is my specialty.

Moro: The music is "Intoxicated."

Moro: He's planned a quadruple Lutz right off the bat.

Moro: Oh, it turned into a triple.

Chris: Oh, well...

Chris: I'll take it slow so I peak at the Grand Prix Final.

Taka: A combination spin. Beautiful position and speed.

V: He said he wasn't finding motivation,

V: but Chris never goes into a major slump.

V: He's a slow starter, so he doesn't try to peak in the first event.

V: But today, he's really going all-out on sex appeal.

Chris: Yuri, your innocent sex appeal is a violent force.

Chris: I'm the only one in the world who can win against that.

Taka: A triple axel.

Chris: I won't be able to settle down until I show just how far ahead of you I am.

Taka: A triple flip, followed by a triple toe loop.

Moro: There he goes!

Moro: His last spin is met with loud cheers from the crowd!

Chris: I think I'm gonna come...

Moro: Christophe Giacometti has delivered a euphoric short program!

Moro: He's entranced us all!
