Since that last post I’ve realized we all need more Katsuki siblings, so please have some art of Yuuri being smol and precious and Mari being caring and supportive.
Before the Grand Prix Final, in the last episode featuring characters in their normal daily lives, we went for an episode without any skating scenes at all, just a really relaxed story, while introducing the competitors. Ultimately, though, there was a surging development, and in the end, no one wound up being able to relax whatsoever. Apparently the animators had quite a difficult time as well. The ring that Yuuri gave to Victor also serves as a symbol of their being soul mates.
