This phenomenal series swiftly captured the hearts of audiences with its remarkable portrayal of a same-sex relationship between Yuri and Victor, as well as its authentic depiction of Yuri’s personal struggles and anxiety. After experiencing a disappointing last-place finish at the Grand Prix Final, Yuri Katsuki, a talented Japanese figure skater, makes the decision to put his competitive career on hold and returns to the tranquil town of Hasetsu to contemplate his future. However, his plans take an unexpected turn when Victor, a charismatic Russian figure skater and five-time World Champion, adamantly refuses to let Yuri abandon his passion and spontaneously offers to become his coach, guiding him towards triumphant victories.
Yuri!!! on Ice fans were thrilled by the season’s conclusion, which left them eagerly anticipating what lay ahead with a tantalizing “See You Next Level!” message. The excitement reached new heights when it was revealed that MAPPA, the renowned studio behind the series, would be gifting enthusiasts with an original movie titled Yuri on Ice the Movie: Ice Adolescence in July 2018.
