PLOT
Yuuri Katsuki, formerly Japan's most promising figure skater, returns to his family home after suffering a shattering loss at the Grand Prix Finale to consider his alternatives. Yuuri's window of opportunity to succeed in skating is rapidly closing at the age of 23, and his fondness for pork cutlets and propensity for putting on weight aren't helping either. However, Yuuri suddenly finds himself in the public eye after a video of him repeating a routine that five-time world champion Victor Nikiforov had previously performed goes viral. Victor even unexpectedly shows up at Yuuri's residence and offers to be his mentor. Yuuri joyfully accepts as one of his strongest supporters, beginning his quest to return to the international scene. The Russian rising sensation Yuri Plisetsky, however, is adamantly motivated to overcome Yuuri and reclaim Victor's tutelage, thus the rivalry is fierce.
