I’m rewatching episodes (for the nth time) and just realised that in episode 1, during the flashback when Yuko shows Victor on TV (his Junior WC skate) to Yuuri, during the exact moment when Yuuri sees Victor for the first time – and his face lights up – the melody for Stammi Vicino faintly plays in the background, subtly foreshadowing the future connection these two will share.
I love this show.
Can I add something?
There’s one thing that always gets me in this scene. Viktor is so free in that moment, playful even. But when we get to see Yuuri’s reaction, he’s captured by this:
Viktor looks here like some goddamn angel. He’s so utterly beautiful with his eyes closed, long hair flowing around his head, face soft, maybe even a little ecstatic. He’s so lost in the moment. And what’s really important, he’s not doing any jumps or other difficult moves here. He’s just… flying. It’s really easy to understand why Yuuri reacted that way. He saw something from another world, a true passion, emotions so raw and open. I mean, how could he not fall in love with Viktor in that moment?
It’s one of my favorites scenes in the entire series. Damn feels.
