[bunniefuu]

Y: After the Final, let's end this.

V: Huh?

Y: You've done more than enough for me, Victor.

Y: Thanks to you, I was able to give everything I had to my last season.

Y: Thank you for everything, Victor.

Y: Thank you for being my coach.

Y: Victor?

V: Damn...

V: I didn't expect Katsuki Yuri to be such a selfish human being.

Y: Right.

Y: I made this selfish decision on my own.

Y: I'm retiring.

V: What are you doing, Yuri?

Y: Oh, I'm just surprised to see you cry.

V: I'm mad, okay?

Y: You're the one who said it was only until the Grand Prix Final!

V: I thought you needed my help more.

Y: Aren't you going to make a comeback?

Y: You don't have to worry about me—

V: How can you tell me to return to the ice while saying you're retiring?!

Y: We decided to each make our own decisions after the free skate.

Moro: First on the ice is Jean-Jacques Leroy of Canada.

Moro: A string of short program mishaps has cost him points, and he's far behind.

JJMom: JJ!

JJMom: You can do this!

JJMom: JJ, the music's started!

JJ: I can't believe I just did that.

JJ: It's been sixteen years since I started skating.

KidJJ: Mom! Dad! Look!

JJ: I feel like I've been tossed onto the ice naked for the very first time.

Oda: Looks like he didn't go into the jump with enough speed.

Moro: That jump is Jean-Jacques Leroy's specialty,

Moro: but his practice was mired in mistakes, too.

Moro: Still, he's the sole skater among the final six with four quads in his programs.

Moro: Quadruple toe loop, triple toe loop.

JJDad: Yeah!

Moro: He did it!

JJ: Leave me alone!

JJMom: JJ?

JJ: Sorry... Mom, I'm sorry.

JJ: I don't know what to do!

JJ: I'd never been that angry before.

JJ: I'm truly a bird with a broken wing.

JJ: Stop it.

JJ: I don't deserve applause right now!

JJ: Given the current totals,

JJ: I might be able to claw my way onto the podium if the others mess up.

JJ: But still...

JJ: Me? Win out of sheer luck?

JJ: That's not like me at all!

Moro: A triple axel.

Moro: Another success!

JJDad: We'll greet him with a smile, no matter what score he gets.

YoungJJ: The "JJ Style" I have in mind is...

YoungJJ: Coach, I—

Ciao: First of all, say, "Yes."

JJ: This is so that JJ can stay JJ.

JJ: Watch me!

Moro: For his final jump, he's planned a quadruple toe loop.

JJ: A plan is just a plan!

Oda: A quadruple loop.

Moro: Jean-Jacques Leroy!

JJ: Yes!

Moro: He rose to the challenge!

Oda: There was a step-out, but overall, a great jump.

Miche: Huh?

Emil: I guess he did do that jump during practice.

SGL: JJ landed a quadruple loop?

SGL: The Four Continents will be fun.

Y: Their battles will continue for years after this Grand Prix Final.

Y: No tale is more compelling than one that never ends.

Moro: Jean-Jacques Leroy of Canada's score is .! A high score right off the bat!

JJ: It's JJ Style!

Ciao: JJ hasn't changed at all.

Ciao: A pupil's accomplishment is headier than any wine.

Ciao: Phichit, use your performance to intoxicate the world.

Moro: In his short program,

Moro: Phichit Chulanont of Thailand, age , bewitched the audience here in Spain.

Moro: His supporters back home have high expectations, as well.

Phi: I've never had such a big crowd cheering for me before.

Phi: I really want to turn in a flawless performance!

Oda: A triple axel...

Moro: He stumbled, but got up right away.

Phi: I have to entertain the audience!

GHJ: Jiayou!

Phi: Right now, the toe loop is my only quad.

Phi: I can't easily add more to my quad repertoire just yet, but...

Oda: A quadruple toe loop.

Ciao: Bravo!

Moro: His nerves settled, and he nailed it!

Mura: Okay!

Phi: Here at the Grand Prix Final,

Phi: I'm confident that I stand out as a skater unlike any other!

Oda: Triple flip, single loop, double flip.

Moro: He landed his last jump combination!

Phi: I have a dream.

Phi: I haven't told Yuri about it yet...

Phi: But I want to have an ice show in Thailand someday.

Phi: I want everyone in Thailand to know how fun figure skating is!

Y: Please be my coach until I retire!

V: I wish you'd never retire.

Y: Let's win gold together at the Grand Prix Final.

V: Don't worry. You can win gold, Yuri.

V: Believe in yourself.

Y: Hey, Victor...

Y: You said before that you want to stay true to yourself, right?

Y: Don't suddenly start trying to sound like a coach now.

Y: I want to smile for my last time on the ice.

V: Yuri, listen to me.

V: I debated whether I should tell you this now, but...

V: I took a break after becoming the five-time world champion to coach you,

V: so how is it possible that you still haven't won a single gold medal?

V: How much longer are you going to stay in warm-up mode?

V: I really want to kiss the gold medal.

Moro: What's going on?

Moro: Skater Katsuki looks like he might be crying.

Y: I've already made up my mind about my goal.

Minami: Go!

Kids: Go, Yuri!

Nishi: Hey, he's running out of time.

Y: My name is Katsuki Yuri.

Y: I'm a dime-a-dozen Japanese figure skater.

Y: I'm .

Moro: He said he'd like to use this program to express the different forms of love he feels.

Moro: His music for the free skate is "Yuri on Ice."

Moro: There will be two consecutive quads.

Moro: The first is part of a combination...

Oda: Quadruple toe loop, double toe loop.

Y: For more than half of my life, I've been trying to catch up to Victor.

Y: Thank you for bringing me all the way here, Victor.

Y: And it's not just Victor I have to thank.

Oda: A quadruple Salchow.

Minako: He's changed since Yurio taught him how to do the Salchow.

Oda: A triple flip.

V: He changed it from the triple loop...

V: Yuri, you can't be serious.

Y: My performance needs to be better than flawless for a chance at the gold.

Y: I've been thinking ever since the short program that

Y: I'd like the final free skate of my career

Y: to have the same difficulty as Victor's.

Oda: A triple axel.

Moro: A triple flip is planned next.

Oda: A quadruple toe loop?

V: A quad?

V: You added another for a total of four quads, Yuri?

Y: Do you realize it now, Victor?

Oda: Triple axel, single loop, triple Salchow.

Y: I don't want it to end here, Victor.

Y: I want to be in figure skating with you forever.

Oda: Triple Lutz, triple toe loop.

Y: But your staying on as my coach

Y: means slowly k*lling you as a competitive skater.

Y: Look at the Victor who lives on inside me.

Y: Your becoming my coach wasn't a waste of time.

Y: I'm the only one in the whole world who can prove that.

Moro: The last jump is a quad, the signature move of his coach, Victor Nikiforov!

Oda: A quadruple flip.

Moro: He did it!

Moro: Katsuki Yuri has succeeded in creating a masterful culmination of his career!

V: Yuri!

Y: I don't want to go to the kiss and cry.

Y: Because going back there means it's over.

V: Don't worry.

V: Your performance was so perfect, I'm sure you'll get a great score.

Moro: We have Katsuki Yuri's scores...

Moro: His free skate score is .!

Moro: He's broken Victor Nikiforov's long-time world record

Moro: for the Men's Singles Free Skate!

Moro: His total score is .!

Moro: He's jumped all the way to first place!

V: Congratulations, Yuri.

V: Having both Yuris b*at my records

V: is the ultimate bliss as your choreographer and coach,

V: but it's the ultimate diss as a competitor.

Y: Huh?

Y: Does that mean you'll come back?

Chris: That guy rumored to be retiring banged out a world record.

Chris: Talk about a dreamer.

Moro: Christophe Giacometti is skating to "Spanish Rhapsody."

Chris: I thought this Grand Prix Final would be my last chance to win,

Chris: but Yuri easily b*at my personal best.

Chris: Looks like it won't be that easy to get my hands on a medal,

Chris: but I think I'll be able to enjoy this year's Final until the very end.

Oda: A quadruple Lutz.

Moro: He landed it again in the free skate!

Chris: I can do this.

V: Yeah!

V: Oh, please take our picture with this phone!

Oda: What was meant to be a quadruple Salchow became a single.

Phi: Hang in there, Chris!

YV: Allez!

V: Chris!

Chris: Victor...

Chris: I got too used to having you in front of me.

Chris: I pretended not to notice the discomfort of being surpassed by another.

Chris: But I can always fan the flames of regret within me!

Chris: There!

Oda: A triple axel!

Minako: A lone triple axel?

Phi: He changed his program to make a jump into a combination in the second half.

Oda: Triple axel, single loop, triple Salchow.

Moro: His final jumps were successful!

Y: It's not a gold medal, but...

V: I don't feel like kissing it unless it's gold.

V: Man, I really wanted to kiss Yuri's gold medal.

V: I'm such a failure as a coach.

V: Yuri, do you have any suggestions?

V: Something that would excite me?

V: What did you think just now?

Y: Oh, um... Well...

Y: Victor!

Y: Please stay with me in competitive figure skating for one more year!

Y: This time, I'll win gold for sure!

V: Great!

V: But keep going!

Y: What?

V: Even I'm worried about making a full comeback

Y: Okay.

Moro: His exhibition is the free program of his coach, who's just announced his comeback,
