| Okay legit curious, is everyone just 5/5'ing this for the engagement bait? Because discounting that one scene this was by far the most boring episode of the entire anime thus far to me... |

Elika said: Yuuri literally is engaged to his idol because of getting blackout drunk at a banquet…that's a wild story to tell about how he met his husband And that, kids, is how I met your Dad. Seriously though, I never expected something like this. Especially that ending that changes the way of how you see things from the beginning. This show gets better and better at every episode. |
| Amazing episode as always, if you call this a filler or recap it's how perfect filler or recap should be made , the team behind this anime is great they really know what are they doing, I hope we could get 1 or 2 original animes like this one every session. i believe animes should have more and more original works and less from mangas And also great use of social media in this anime , and as every one already said its the best ending ever. |

| BORN TO MAKE HISTORY. 1000000/10. Loved that Otabek and Yurio moment (finally, Otabek!! Hosoyan!!!!!). Sweet children. Viktor goes back to Japan? |

| Well I can't wait for the constant nay-sayers to say it's not a real engagement because of x, y and z. Because I know they're out there...I suppose half of them are eating their words right now. Even I didn't believe it'd happen but there it is, engaged victuri. I guess I can stop looking both ways before I cross the street now because I can die happy. Seriously though, they have the cutest relationship I've ever seen. I really enjoyed this relaxed episode with no skating, a break from all the tension because I was sure feeling it. It was great and much needed to see things from Victor's point of view, I wish they had gone a bit more into his head but I think this suffices. Now their backstory is laid out more. Yuri...Oh no. I was so embarrassed for the little piglet at the end there haha. He still dances pretty good while drunk, but even still lol. At least his friends only use it as playful teasing. |

| Guys, I can't watch it. I barely got thorugh the church scene, and now I paused just after Chris noticed their rings. I can't omg I can't. Too many feels. How can there be so many feels in one ep?! |
11ama said: Helenus said: Ok, again I have to be that one person in this thread: there were no romantic feelings involved in this episode. Not at all. Kudos to the director to be a master of teasing. But no. Just no. This episode was the perfect example to show how they play everything 'romantic' as a joke. Just look how the whole tone changes when they bring the marriage thing up. Even in-universe they don't take it seriously. No gay-marriage, sorry. I totally doubt that there's love involved between Yuri and Victor. The ring is a token of appreciation. The narration made it clear. What do you mean by 'tone changing'? It seemed to me that Victor and Yuri were taking things pretty seriously, and that they were just being shy about it. Well, we have first to determine what we are talking about here. What happened when they exchanged rings? Yuri explicitly stated it's a token of appreciation for Victor's work (as a coach). For 'everything' he has done. I don't see a marriage proposal here (if you take the dialogue literally). But of course the director is trying to tease the fandom pretty hard agaim by locating this scene in a 'romantic' scenery. Change of tone: As soon as other characters become aware of the rings the whole subject is treated as a joke. Just look at the reactions. Victors 'I marry him if he wins gold' is a funny remark to break the ice and end the akward situation. It is quite obvious he's joking. At least in my opinion. |

And the Yuri Plisetsky fangirls are quite an accurate representation of the YOI fandom. 9/10. P.S.: I'm convinced Chris is gay. 100%. https://mobile.twitter.com/yuuchord/status/806617554022113280 And? I can buy (and wear) a wedding ring without being married. A wedding ring is nothing more than an ordinary golden ring. The director plays with the audience as usual. It's quite obvious. |
sooyong said: Did I watch a backwards video or something? Because I saw them put rings on each other's RIGHT hands, not left. Engagement/wedding rings go on the left hand. Ehh I was curious so I googled it: "the tradition of wearing the engagement and wedding ring on the fourth finger of the left hand continues here in the US. But there are some countries, says Zaven Ghanimian, CEO of Simon G Jewelry, where the ring finger of the right hand is the more popular choice for brides and grooms to wear their rings, like in Russia, Greece and Colombia." Make of that what you will. =O |
I can't believe there are still people who think Viktor and Yuuri are not in a romantic relationship after this episode ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |
VICTUURI IS CANON BOYS AND GIRLS |
Helenus said: The ring is a token of appreciation. The narration made it clear. The ring is a wedding ring. Yuuri's awkward and shy who has been running from relationships for 24 years, you should obviously pay attention to his characterization and how he deliberately bought an expensive as hell wedding ring which is a huge step for him. He's still afraid Viktor will leave him. No, he's convinced he will leave him. He has issues opening up to people and is afraid of his own feelings. Not sure why you're denying romantic feelings, it's canon he has romantic feelings for Viktor. He says so in his speech, which was badly translated by CR, I guess. He has platonic feelings too. |

SakurasouBusters said: FallenEntity said: victor's commentary over this episode was hilarious I really enjoyed how he introduced each character as well as give a little backstory. loved the part where jj's fans were arguing with yuri's fans. I will say this though was not aware of just how persistent yuri's fans really are until they started sniffing for his trail. I am so happy for them <3 was not expecting this so soon was hopping it would happen by the finals. oh those bastards they knew what they were doing when they made that scene, the rings, the music, taking place in a church, making it the perfect setting for a wedding. as if this show doesn't tease that enough now there just toying with us and I love them for that. don't add real life logic into this, anime has it's own rules real life rules don't apply to anime. also just let us have this don't try to ruin something beautiful. Good point, overthinking it i guess. And im not trying to ruin it, as i said, i find this to be very nice. It's even worse in Russia, though. Maybe they won't get officially married but will still be a couple? Or maybe they'll move somewhere else? I don't know. |
| There is no homophobia in this anime. Why would you care? The program Pitchit skates is an homosexual version of the King and I, the Skater and the King, which in real world Thai, that movie was forbidden and hated, in this AU world, it's loved by Thailand and it's actually a deep romantic bond between the King of Thailand and a male English Skater. |
| I see I'm late to the party but whatever. I really enjoyed this episode <3 YOU GUYS, it really was a ring, like hell I didn't think they would! And matching ones even~ Phichit making instant conclusions and congratulating them for their marriage. And he wasn't even surprised about it either, I love this guy xD And oh jeez, DRUNK YURI, boy I couldn't breathe xD It gives one an entire different image of Yuri. Like what are you doing on that pole? With Chris? Nearly naked? xD And him grinding up against Victor telling him to become his coach...this boy will be the death of me! Good to know more about the characters pre-anime and what probably started the whole idea of 'Victor-becoming-Yuri's-coach'! And yay! Happy dance pose! \(^♡^)/  |
KashiBien said: I wonder how people will try to no homo that one... They could have sex in the middle of the competition and there will still be people denying the fact that they're gay for each other. |
 You just lost the game |
| I just love those rings...(I don't care if they are "real" engagement rings or not, I'm just enjoying this moment ^^) Even if the show is no "typical" shounen ai, I think the romance is very nicely done. In a subtle but still very present way. ....and drunk Yuri is HILARIOUS!!!! |

| i guess it's just normal that i forgot how to breathe i mean WOw there are so many things i love about this episode. i know i'm saying this every damN WEEK but. it is only getting better. i'm sorry this is such a mess but a list of nICE Things: -viktor pov!! -phichit screaming is me -others reactions made me happy too -yurio made a friend!!!! -yurios hair in the wind -we can see the exact moment viktor fell in love. from his eyes. -also teary-eyed viktor (having eye fetish & viktor fetish will be the end of me) -why was there a pole in the banquet.. chris i'm looking at u my l-words are based on yuri on ice. thank you. i can finally go to sleep. but... is this too good to be true?? will the end of the series surprise us?? will something.. bad happen? looks like i still can't go to sleep fUCK- |
| It's actually happening, i never would have thought that they would go that far. BUT THEY DID AND IT'S AMAZING :O |

Thess said: Not sure why you're denying romantic feelings, it's canon he has romantic feelings for Viktor. He says so in his speech, which was badly translated by CR, I guess. He has platonic feelings too. It doesn't really matters what happens on screen, the only characterization that matter to some people is the only one they can use to deny what's happening on screen. Everything else is irrelevant, "just humor" or literally doesn't register. This episode doesn't really make it more canon that the other 8 episodes. As Cishet said, they could go balls deep into each other and it would still be not canon because something Yuuri said or before it. The issue is not with the show. |
 |
| I love this episode! I'm so happy that Victor and Yuri both have matching rings and it's so cute seeing them together. The ED was hilarious, I never thought that I would see Yuri naked and POLE DANCING. lol The one scene that caught my attention would be after the ED when drunk Yuri told Victor to be his coach. I thought that scene was really cute. |
 |
| I WATCHED THE EPISODE AND YELLED AND THEN REWACHED IT AND YELLED AGAIN AND I STILL SCREAMING MY NEIGHBORS ARE GOING TO KILL ME AAAAA |
 |
| Am I the only one going through my entire vocabulary, looking for words that begin with "L" in both English and Russian, trying to figure out what Viktor meant? |
 落ちていく涙さえ偽りと引き換えに 言い訳を繰り返して闇を生きる この悲しみの果てにある明日は 怯えてるこの心ただ蒼く染めてく 嘘に塗れた美しき世界で霞ゆく眩しさに 手を伸ばそうと月を仰いだ |
