But Now I Must Go: Tries to invoke this by telling Victor that he'll be retiring after the Final.

Brooding Boy, Gentle Girl: A same-gender example Yuri's anxiety and shyness is a contrast to Victor's confidence and sunny attitude.

Broken Ace: Yuri is a highly talented skater, but he deals with a lot of emotional baggage alongside his skating career, the latter being something he looks at with both pride and shame.

You can imagine exactly how much all of this contributed to the depression and extremely low self-esteem we see at the beginning of the series. Combined with a poor track record at previous competitions, his five-year-long career became a list of failures that ended unceremoniously with him terminating his contract with his coach, Celestino Cialdini, and going back to his hometown to figure out what to do with the rest of his life.

Break the Cutie: His comfort-eating after his dog's death by and large ruined his chances for winning a medal at the Grand Prix Final.

Blue Is Heroic: In case you haven't noticed yet, his Color Motif is blue and he's the main protagonist of the story.

Word of God stated that he's practically half-blind without his glasses.

Blind Without 'Em: Downplayed he seems to be able to skate just fine without his glasses, but in Episode 6 he has to squint to see his scores on the leaderboard at the China Cup.The Big Damn Kiss: With Victor, in Episode 7.Big Beautiful Man: Granted, during the off-season he's not really that fat, but in the stage drama, Victor finds Yuri's chubby self to be adorable, and gushes about how squishy he is while playing with his baby fat.Now imagine what would happen if he was angry instead, and we mean well and truly angry. Beware the Nice Ones: Despite his gentle personality, Yuri is not to be messed with if pushed far enough, his outbursts can give even Victor pause.Audience Surrogate: One of the things that easily endears him to the viewer is how relatable he is in almost every aspect, especially to those who are dealing with anxiety in real life.Soon enough, they enter in a romantic relationship, and get engaged in Episode 10. Ascended Fanboy: After looking up to Victor all his life, the man himself comes and offers to be his coach.After the events of Episode 10 however, their situation is made pretty clear to the rest of the finalists, Yuri's ballet teacher and sister, and a crowd of restaurant patrons when Victor declares that they're engaged. Ambiguous Situation: In-universe, people are always wondering what kind of relationship he and Victor actually have.To a lesser extent, Victor calls Yuri a piglet or "little piggy" a few times, but he drops it once Yuri loses weight.

Affectionate Nickname: Somewhat in Yurio's nicer moments, he calls Yuri "pork cutlet bowl" instead of the usual insults.This is backed up by the fact that the only quads he knows are the quadruple toe loop and Salchow (the latter quad being a hit-and-miss move for him). though the score given for his jumps could be considered slightly above average at best. As indicated in the official character databook, Yuri has a perfect score in both skating and step sequences, and a nearly-perfect score in his spins as well. Yuri excels in presentation, though he tends to fall short when it comes to getting a high technical score.

He's even recognized as the "ace of Japan" or "Japan's ace" - whichever you prefer. The Ace: Although not to the same extent as Victor, he's still seen as this by both his fellow Japanese skaters and skating fans.He also talks to his mother in his native dialect over the phone in the first episode. Accent Slip-Up: He usually speaks standard Japanese, but he slips back into his native Saga dialect when he gets drunk.
