While Yamamoto’s artistic fixations define the expressionistic interludes of Yuri!!! On ICE, much of the anime’s narrative is driven by the dynamic between Yuri Katsuki and his coach Victor Nikiforov. Both men share an intimate relationship built upon respect, empathy, and a playful yet erotic see-sawing for dominance. However flirtatious Victor’s advances on Yuri may be, Yamamoto portrays their love in a non-voyeuristic manner, emphasizing their sensual pleasure; romance that is neither gratuitous nor fetishized. Yuri and Victor’s kiss at the end of episode 7 is a wonderful celebration of the pair’s combined achievements and mutual feelings. The unconditional love that Yamamoto grants Yuri and Victor is simply put: beautiful.   - crunchyroll

“Victor Nikiforov’s exhibition piece this year is an original composition entitled, Look, Babe, I Didn’t Mean To Leave The Dishes In The Sink, It Won’t Happen Again, Promise. He choreographed it himself.”
