It's 2020, let's all admit that we're simps for Yuzuru

[ChronicRen]

He protecc
He atacc
But most importantly
He won two gold medals bacc to bacc

[coldspring]

I always get goosebumps and cry when I watch him, he was and will always be a phenomenon 🥺

[MW-oeli]

this guy is like a prince
edit: you guys are awesome, thanks for the likes

The best thing is that he uses Japanese traditional seimei music. Bringing his national culture to the world.

Sometimes I forget Yuzu’s routines are mathematically put together to garner as much points as possible. He maximizes the points while still making it artistic, musical, and emotional astounds me.

Summer Olympic is happening, but I miss our Winter Olympic legend Yuzuru Hanyu.

When you realize this was a performance of a man who had a career ending injury 3 months before the olympics and started to train his quads just 2-3 weeks before the competition

[rantingmagna]

Doesn't your back hurt?
For carrying the whole figure skating industry alone.

edit: and he is going to Beijing 2022! hoping he will make another history written in his name.

He makes it look like the music is following him instead of him performing to the music

I've loved skating for a long time but hanyu just amazed me like idk how to describe but it's just incredible and he is like a living legend for me

This man:
- survived from the earthquake in 2011
- leaving home to canada and struggling with communication at 16
- Asthma problems causing stamina issues
- asthma attack 2 weeks before winning 2017 worlds
- champion 3 months after an ankle injury that could’ve ruined his career
- and so so so many injuries


Yet he never stops trying, challenging, and being Yuzuru Hanyu. He’s truly the strongest fighter and never uses his weaknesses as excuses. He does everything to be the best of himself. GOAT

How can he look so masculine & cute at the same time

[cdbmbne]

Гениальный фигурист. Каждое его выступление это огромное эстетическое наслаждение. Самый лучший❤❤❤❤

I just got this randomly recommended to me and I don’t know who this guy is but he seems awesome and everyone’s simping for him

It's not easy being a fan of Yuzuru Hanyu.

* He gets injured/ill in almost every season of his senior career.
* Insisting to compete while injured/ill.
1. Worlds 2012 - sprained ankle
2. Worlds 2013- flu
3. COC 2014- collission with Han Yan resulting in multitude of injuries.
4. NHK 2014- just 2 weeks after COC thus still unhealed. The only time he was out of the podium since winning GPF 2013.
5. Japan Nationals 2014- competed while oozing blood and pus on the abdomen from a bladder birth defect. Bound his abdomen with bandage and duct tape to avoid ruining his costume. He was rushed to the hospital immediately after the competition.
6. Japan Nationals 2016- He withdraw due to flu.
7. Worlds 2016- He didn't inform his coach that he was experiencing pain on his foot since the beginning of the season. Still competed the whole GP breaking World records back 2 back. He exacerbated his injuries resulting to a meltdown of an FP in Worlds. He was diagnosed with Lisfranc injury. He seriously thought it was the end of his carreer.
8. NHK 2017- went to OP while feverish. Tried jumping quad lutz, fell hard, damaging his ankle ligaments severely. He withdraw from competing.
9. Olympics 2018- After a news blackout for months, he showed up in Korea reassuring everyone that he's now feeling okay to compete. He successfully defended his olympic title, only to announce later that he's still not yet 100% recovered and that he only got through the competition with the help of pain medications. He withdraw from Worlds 2018 to recuperate.
10. Rostelecom Cup 2018- He reinjured the same ankle while trying to jump the quad loop in practice. Still insisted on competing. Went to podium to get his gold medal wearing crutches.

I really can't believe that I wrote this huge wall of text just to whine about the agony of being a fanyu and list each and every one of Yuzu's propensity in ignoring his well-being. But who am I kidding? Even if he's this reckless, I still support him because he is a good man and I want to see how much farther he can go with his dreams despite having body limitations. He is a huge inspiration.

It's funny because everyone always cheers for their home countries during the Olympics....but I honestly don't think there was a single person on the planet who wasn't rooting for this kid.
