I’ve already written meta about why I think Victor and Yuuri are canonical endgame. I wrote that post after Episode 9 aired, and it predicts what’s probably going to happen in Episode 12. In summary: Yuuri is going to let Victor go out of love, and Victor is going to stay with him out of love. I’m not stressed about that. Those boys love each other.

Victor and Yuuri are not what upset me about Episode 11.

This is what broke my heart.

Like I am really upset because…

Yuuri has already been through this.

Yuuri has already sat in the kiss and cry in this defeated pose.

And now we have…

The same defeat is written all over him. (With Celestino standing there, no less.)

And all he did was touch the ice once.

I still believe Yuuri will win that gold medal. Because remember, at the Cup of China, Phichit was in 4th place after his SP but won gold after the FS.

But if Yuuri doesn’t win? I don’t know. I’m going to be very disappointed.

I understand there’s still a good story that can be told there if he doesn’t win. That’s more of a “real life” story. But this entire anime has been rife with fairy tale symbolism.

Why shouldn’t Yuuri get the picture perfect happy ending he deserves? Why can’t he win both love and first place? Why can’t he fulfill his own personal goals and dreams and also validate Victor’s decision to become his coach at the same time?

If he doesn’t win gold, my heart is going to break for him.
