Y: How do I recover from this?
V: Yuri, you tend to flub your jumps when something is on your mind.
V: Starting today, I'm your coach.
V: I'll make you win the Grand Prix Final.
Y: How did he know how I felt?
Y: Until Victor came into my life,
Y: I could never openly say that I'd win gold,
Y: but I never skated with the thought in my mind that I'd lose anyway.
Moro: That jump had enough rotations.
Y: Truthfully, I wanted to win gold at last year's Grand Prix Final, too.
V: Yuri, you're not weak.
V: No one else thinks that, either.
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!
Y: I was able to come this far because Victor believed in me.

Moro: You can feel Katsuki Yuri's love, a love he can only express on the ice,
Moro: in this step sequence.
Sala: Aw, he had really good flow until the end.
Mila: It's too bad.
Mila: When you think of how it could've been with Victor here,
Mila: you really want to see that, right?
Y: That was the toughest program I've done so far...
Yakov: Hey.
Yakov: You totally failed to take advantage of the program Vitya made for you!
Yakov: Why didn't you practice for the possibility that you might flub a jump?
Y: He's just like Victor... A huge lecture at the kiss and cry.

JJ: but you're no king.
JJ: I can tell that much by your free skate.
JJ: I am the only king!
Oda: A quadruple Salchow.
Moro: Success!
Moro: He's planned four quads in this program.
Moro: If all of them are successful,
Moro: his free skate program
Moro: has the highest technical difficulty among all the skaters.
Moro: Next up is a quad-triple combination.
Oda: Quadruple toe loop, triple toe loop.
Moro: At Skate Canada, this year's first Grand Prix event,
Moro: he held off Russia's Yuri Plisetsky, winning for the second time.
Moro: In last year's Grand Prix Final, he finished third.
Moro: With Victor Nikiforov absent this season,
Moro: a new prince in the figure skating world has been born.
JJ: Wrong.
JJ: I'm no prince.
JJ: I'm already a king!
JJ: "I'll be the hero who stops Victor from becoming the
JJ: consecutive five-time world champion."
JJ: That's what I was thinking when I made this program,
JJ: but I had no idea Victor would go on break.
JJ: I bet he ran because he was afraid of losing to me.
JJ: That poor guy, Victor Nikiforov!
Oda: A triple axel.
JJ: Dad, Mom,
JJ: my precious girlfriend,
JJ: the great people of Canada,
JJ: and everyone who loves skating...
JJ: This is for you.

Moro: He's landed all his jumps!

News: Yuri Plisetsky will place second,
News: with Michele Crispino in third.
News: Katsuki Yuri will be fourth.
News: When you total both competition scores,
News: Michele and Katsuki have the same overall score.
Y: Since we're tied in points,
Y: I can squeak into the Final because I placed second in the Cup of China.
Y: The Rostelecom Cup is over.
Y: The final six who will advance to the Grand Prix Final are
Y: the three who had basically been confirmed already...
Y: JJ, who cemented his win with another high score,
Y: Yurio, who finished second, and...
Miche: Man, I'm tired.
Sala: You don't have to come support me at the Women's Free Skate tomorrow, Mickey.
Miche: Can't I at least cheer you on?
Sala: You'd just rush right to the kiss and cry again.
Sala: Yuri, congrats on qualifying for the Grand Prix Final!
Sala: I knew you'd make it.
Miche: Sala!
Y: Thanks.
Miche: What are you doing?!
Miche: Huh?
Emil: Was that Mickey screaming?
Emil: What's this? A hugging competition?
JJ: JJ is—
Yuri: Huh?!
Yuri: Stay away from me!
Y: I'm this close to the peak of my competitive figure skating career.
Y: I really want the gold now.
Y: The Grand Prix Final will be my last chance.
Y: Even if I don't win gold,
Y: I'll have Victor step down as coach after the Grand Prix Final, and...
Yuri: There you are, pork cutlet bowl.
Yuri: You made me look for you.
Y: Oh, Yurio...
Yuri: What was that earlier?
Yuri: Stop creeping me out!
Yuri: And what was that free skate, anyway?
Yuri: You can make the excuse that you couldn't do your best because Victor wasn't there,
Yuri: but I was in top form and earned a new personal best,
Yuri: only to lose to JJ again!
Yuri: You have no right to feel more down than me, pork cutlet bowl!
Yuri: You can have it.
Yuri: It's almost your birthday, right?
Yuri: Huh?
Yuri: Pirozhki?
Yuri: Eat.
Y: Huh? Right here?
Yuri: Eat!
Y: There's rice in this...
Y: Pork cutlet and egg, too.
Y: It's a pork cutlet bowl!
Yuri: That's right!
Yuri: My grandpa made them himself!
Yuri: Great, aren't they?
Y: Yeah!

Y: Until Victor came into my life,
Y: I could never openly say that I'd win gold,
Y: but I never skated with the thought in my mind that I'd lose anyway.
Moro: That jump had enough rotations.
Y: Truthfully, I wanted to win gold at last year's Grand Prix Final, too.
V: Yuri, you're not weak.
V: No one else thinks that, either.
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!
Y: I was able to come this far because Victor believed in me.
Oda: A triple loop.
Y: If I end here without making the Grand Prix Final...
Oda: He two-footed that landing.
Y: No.
Y: Don't think right now.
Yuri: You idiot!
Yuri: Hang in—
JJ: Yuri...
JJ: All supportive now that you've clinched your spot in the Final, eh?
JJ: Cheer for me, too, will you?
Lilia: Yuri, let's go.
Y: Yurio looked like he'd kick the bucket on his last three-jump combo.
Y: Idiot! I have more stamina than him!
Oda: A triple axel.
Y: Whether Victor were with me or not,
Y: it would still feel just as tough.
Oda: A triple flip.
Y: Keep it simple.
Y: I'm the only one who can skate this program with this much appeal.
Oda: A triple axel, single loop, and triple Salchow.
Oda: A triple Lutz, triple toe loop.
Y: I'm the one who loves this program Victor and I made
Y: the most in the whole world!
Y: I'm not finished yet.
Y: I'll be done when I get the gold with Victor.
Moro: You can feel Katsuki Yuri's love, a love he can only express on the ice,
Moro: in this step sequence.
Sala: Aw, he had really good flow until the end.
Mila: It's too bad.
Mila: When you think of how it could've been with Victor here,
Mila: you really want to see that, right?
Y: That was the toughest program I've done so far...
Yakov: Hey.
Yakov: You totally failed to take advantage of the program Vitya made for you!
Yakov: Why didn't you practice for the possibility that you might flub a jump?
Y: He's just like Victor... A huge lecture at the kiss and cry.
Yakov: Victor never did, either.
Yakov: I guess he never learned differently as a coach.
Moro: We have Katsuki Yuri's scores.

JJ: I bet you all agree, right?
Moro: He is skating to "Partizan Hope."
JJ: Yuri Katsuki, Victor may have chosen you,
JJ: but you're no king.
JJ: I can tell that much by your free skate.
JJ: I am the only king!
Oda: A quadruple Salchow.
Moro: Success!
Moro: He's planned four quads in this program.
Moro: If all of them are successful,
Moro: his free skate program
Moro: has the highest technical difficulty among all the skaters.
Moro: Next up is a quad-triple combination.
Oda: Quadruple toe loop, triple toe loop.
Moro: At Skate Canada, this year's first Grand Prix event,
Moro: he held off Russia's Yuri Plisetsky, winning for the second time.
Moro: In last year's Grand Prix Final, he finished third.
Moro: With Victor Nikiforov absent this season,
Moro: a new prince in the figure skating world has been born.
JJ: Wrong.
JJ: I'm no prince.
JJ: I'm already a king!
JJ: "I'll be the hero who stops Victor from becoming the
JJ: consecutive five-time world champion."
JJ: That's what I was thinking when I made this program,
JJ: but I had no idea Victor would go on break.
JJ: I bet he ran because he was afraid of losing to me.
JJ: That poor guy, Victor Nikiforov!
Oda: A triple axel.
JJ: Dad, Mom,
JJ: my precious girlfriend,
JJ: the great people of Canada,
JJ: and everyone who loves skating...
JJ: This is for you.

Y: The Rostelecom Cup is over.
Y: The final six who will advance to the Grand Prix Final are
Y: the three who had basically been confirmed already...
Y: JJ, who cemented his win with another high score,
Y: Yurio, who finished second, and...
Miche: Man, I'm tired.
Sala: You don't have to come support me at the Women's Free Skate tomorrow, Mickey.
Miche: Can't I at least cheer you on?
Sala: You'd just rush right to the kiss and cry again.
Sala: Yuri, congrats on qualifying for the Grand Prix Final!
Sala: I knew you'd make it.
Miche: Sala!
Y: Thanks.
Miche: What are you doing?!
Miche: Huh?
Emil: Was that Mickey screaming?
Emil: What's this? A hugging competition?
JJ: JJ is—
Yuri: Huh?!
Yuri: Stay away from me!
Y: I'm this close to the peak of my competitive figure skating career.
Y: I really want the gold now.
Y: The Grand Prix Final will be my last chance.
Y: Even if I don't win gold,
Y: I'll have Victor step down as coach after the Grand Prix Final, and...
Yuri: There you are, pork cutlet bowl.
Yuri: You made me look for you.
Y: Oh, Yurio...
Yuri: What was that earlier?
Yuri: Stop creeping me out!
Yuri: And what was that free skate, anyway?
Yuri: You can make the excuse that you couldn't do your best because Victor wasn't there,
Yuri: but I was in top form and earned a new personal best,
Yuri: only to lose to JJ again!
Yuri: You have no right to feel more down than me, pork cutlet bowl!
Yuri: You can have it.
Yuri: It's almost your birthday, right?
Yuri: Huh?
Yuri: Pirozhki?
Yuri: Eat.
Y: Huh? Right here?
Yuri: Eat!
Y: There's rice in this...
Y: Pork cutlet and egg, too.
Y: It's a pork cutlet bowl!
Yuri: That's right!

Yuri: Great, aren't they?
Y: Yeah!
