Victor as Princess Aurora from The Sleeping Beauty ballet
This probably was brought up in the past, when YoI was ultra popular, but Victor story pre-Hasetsu parallels Princess Aurora's story so well, that if it wasn't intentional, Sayo or Mitsurou was surely possessed by Tchaikovsky's ghost.
In episode 1, after Yuuri met with Yuuko for the first time in 5 years, he starts reminiscing about Yuuko and the time they've spent skating together in Hasetsu. One highlight of Yuuri's memories in that scene is that it was Yuuko who showed him Victor for the first time on TV one day when he was still 11-12 year old.
The directing in that scene though...
First of all, we have a fragment of The Lilac Fairy variation as the music Victor perform his program to. The first thing that came to my mind, when I read that it is there (quite easy to miss if you don't pay too much attention) was that it is such an odd choice of music for Victor's program! It's a very monotonous piece and I'd say it would be most likely quite boring to skate to. It's like the same melody on repeat. In addition to that, Victor skates in the "Eros" costume, which is well, almost all black. Why didn't he choose something a little bit more fitting, e.g. a lilac costume for The Lilac Fairy program? If he skated to Sleeping Beauty medley type of song and the costume represented a different character, then it means the creators still decided to deliberately put The Lilac Fairy fragment in this particular scene...
The way I see it, every time when you watch YoI and there is a moment in the show when your brain goes like "huh? wait a sec..." it means that there is probably something extra hidden there.
So I started to wonder – in the scene we have Yuuko, Yuuri and Victor (Takeshi couldn't care less) and the main characters in Tchaikovsky's The Sleeping Beauty ballet are Princess Aurora, Prince Désiré and The Lilac Fairy, who is the godmother to the both of them. So... could it be intentional?
Well, I think so, because it’s just crazy how well it fits if we assume that Victor is Princess Aurora, Yuuri is Prince Désiré and Yuuko is the Lilac Fairy. The seemingly "???" choice of music also makes a lot of sense, if that's case imo, because the real focus of this scene is Yuuko (we see Yuuri's memories of her, after he met her for the first time in 5 years, and when the Lilac Fairy music plays, we are in the room with Yuuko and only see Victor on TV) and this piece, imo, symbolizes her role in the story, as Yuuri's Skating Fairy Godmother.
In the ballet version of The Sleeping Beauty, it's the Lilac Fairy, who tells the prince about a sleeping princess (Act 2. Scene 2. The Vision).
In Yuri!!!, just as the "Lilac Fairy" scene starts, Yuuko stands in front of a TV and tells Yuuri about Victor Nikiforov from Russia : “Victor Nikiforov from Russia just got a gold medal at Junior Worlds! So cool~ (ロシアのヴィクトル・ニキフォロフ世界ジュニア 歴代最高得点で金メダルだって カッコよか〜)".
Victor has just won Junior Worlds, his first international success and the first crucial step on the road to Victor's "love&life"-less life (=the curse put on Aurora) he had before meeting Yuuri. Of course, Victor himself says he has been neglecting his love and life for over 20 years, so since he was younger than 7-years-old and that means most likely since he started training figure skating. However, a prepubescent child's "love and life" and teenager/adult's "love and life" mean something very different, and the focus here is the adult love and life. In the Sleeping Beauty, Aurora was just about to meet her suitors and one of them could become her future husband, but the curse was triggered and she falls asleep without knowing adult "love and live" for 100 years, until her prince wakes her up.
Tumblr media
The Lilac Fairy tells Prince Désiré about the Sleeping Princess.
In the ballet version, Lilac Fairy then conjures up for the prince a vision of the sleeping princess dancing, the prince falls in love with her and after the vision disappears, he decides to find her with the Lilac Fairy's help – they travel together through a forest to Aurora's castle...
In Yuri!!!, as Yuuko is gushing over Victor, about how cool he is, she starts jumping in front of the TV and the next thing we see is Yuuri's reaction as he watches a (tele)vision of Victor skating. (Interestingly, we also see Victor in this scene, just before we see how Yuuri is looking at him for the very first time and then goes "Waaa~". And Victor is... “sleeping”, or "falling asleep" perhaps while skating. It's worth keeping in mind that he really skates the Sleeping Beauty story in his program.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Vision of the Sleeping Princess.
Yuuri, of course, instantly becomes smitten with Victor and so this scene is also the beginning of his dream to one day skate on the same ice as Victor = meet with Victor as his equal – the dream that eventually will lead to the events at the Sochi banquet.
Tumblr media
Prince Désiré smitten with the vision of the Sleeping Princess he’s just seen.
Just as we see Prince Désiré travel together with the Lilac Fairy to the castle where Aurora sleeps, we also see Yuuri practicing skating with Yuuko. His goal - become so good at figure skating, that he can meet with Victor one day.
Tumblr media
Prince Désiré and the Lilac Fairy on their way to the Sleeping Princess.
Yuuko is also the person who motivates him to achieve his dream. Yuuko: "You really like Victor so much, don't you~ I want to see you and Victor competing together soon." (ホントにヴィクトルのことが好きなんだね〜 勇利くんとヴィクトルが戦ってるとこ早く見たいな).
But...
Eventually Yuuko moved on from the childhood dreams to start a family. I'm sure that it was quite painful for Yuuri, because in a sense, he lost the person that understood him and his passion for skating (and Victor) the best.
Yuuri, on the other hand, didn't gave up on his dream... Eventually, he managed to achieve it: he skated on the same ice as Victor in Sochi and at the banquet he, at last, woke the princess up from the "no love and no life" sleep (...and soon after left him there alone and completely forgot that he met him. Again, it's interesting that in the Perrault's version of the Sleeping Beauty, the prince also leaves that night, after he woke Aurora up, to go back to his castle and she has to wait for his return). Victor of course doesn't just wait - eventually he travels to Hasetsu to be with his prince... Only to find out he was turned into a pig. And so begins Princess Vitya's quest to get his prince back!
No wonder that Yuuri wanted Yuuko, his Lilac Fairy and skating godmother, to see him skating in ep. 1 when he needed to once again get his motivation to skate back - she was the source of his motivation when they were younger, his only companion in this difficult quest to one day get to meet the sleeping princess.
And, yeah, there's actually an illustration of Yuuko as Yuuri's Fairy Skating Godmother in the anime:
Tumblr media
Other interesting bits:
In Charles Perrault's version of Sleeping Beauty, which is the basis for the ballet version, Aurora is "15 or 16 years old", when she falls asleep. It is very curious that when Yuuri saw Victor for the first time, he was either 15, according to the interview Yuuko has: “Even though he is only 15, he possesses both solid technical skills and artistic expression which entrances the spectators (...)” (15歳にして確かなスケーティング技術と観客を魅了する表現力を兼ね備え(...)) or 16 according to Yuuri: “When I was 12, Victor, who is 4 years older than me, has already been on top of the world.” (僕が12歳の時には4つ上のヴィクトルは世界のトップに立っていた).
The point of the Sleeping Beauty fairytale is to show, that it's better to wait (sleep for 100 years) for the right person to get married rather than get married too soon – Victor surely waited without love for over 20 years for Yuuri to come and find him (...and propose to him. Yuuri ganba–!). Supporters of Freudian psychology, like Bruno Bettelheim in The Uses of Enchantment, believe it’s not so much about marriage but about sex, on the other hand.
The very first time we see Victor in the show in real time (the very first scene in ep 1 is imo just symbolic representation of Yuuri observing Victor throughout the years) Victor is "asleep". This is also one of just two scenes, when we see Victor pre-Sochi banquet. It's hard to see in the show, but thankfully we have Mappa's Select book:
Tumblr media
Vitya the Sleeping Beauty in ep 1.
And lastly, the Stammi Vicino program starts with a move which imo can absolutely be described as "waking up" (The first time we see the program in the show is post-banquet and the lyrics, imo, fit too nicely to not be about Sochi banquet too).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Stammi vicino – waking up motion.
Conclusions: Victor really is a Disney Princess (and Makka the cute animal sidekick).

⛸ Victor Nikiforov, ヴィクトル・ニキフォロフ by me~
Victor's casual practice outfit consists of a black T-shirt and grey track pants.
Victor is fond of wearing trench coats over his outfits when in cold places. He owns several in various colors, including beige, brown, and slate blue.
As a junior skater, Victor had long, waist-length hair, which he usually wore his hair in a ponytail when skating. His costumes often had both feminine and masculine elements to them.
Victor has the captivating kind of celebrity charisma and is naturally flirtatious. His well-known strength is his penchant for breathtaking new creations and surprising his audience. Though he pushes himself and is constantly trying to better his skills, he likes doing things at his own pace and in other areas is generally an easygoing, free-spirited young man who doesn't really take well to orders (Yakov yells in exasperation that he never does anything he's told).
Victor's also a bit of an airhead and, according to himself and Yuri Plisetsky, tends to forget a lot of things, as Yuuri Katsuki sees proof of after he forgets what the stakes of the Hot Springs on Ice event were.
He's very self-aware, knowing what he can and can't pull off and exactly what he has to do in order to play best to the audience. This adds to his charisma in that he knows precisely how to charm people with what he has. That said, he's also sensitive about his appearance, even his hairline.
Being a nigh-imperturbable man in perfect control of himself, even when losing his temper, Victor is well-adapted to navigating the positive side of the emotional spectrum. However, he's not very good at managing others' emotional distress, and while he can be serious if he needs to be, he's blunt to the point of being tactless. This makes him a bad person to cry in front of, as he's awkward at best and insensitive at worst.
Even though he mostly exhibits a childlike and almost flippant demeanor, his core does emerge every so often: a wildflower, beautifully soft but determinedly hardy. Though this side of him only gets a peek when he talks to close ones regarding more philosophical topics, it's very at home on the ice.

30 Heartbeats 梅林太郎
ピアノのみで構成されたこの曲はアニメ ユーリ!!on ICEにおいて重要な一曲だと言える。サウンドトラックとしては少し長めの2分34秒。
____僕が出来るって、僕より信じてよ!!
主人公 勝生勇利がコーチであるヴィクトル・ニキフォロフに放った一言で、本作において象徴的な言葉の1つである。
ヴィクトル_皇帝という意味だが、ヴィクトルはまさに氷上の皇帝なのだ。端的に言えば、“化物”。世界選手権5連覇、ジュニア時代からトップの座に君臨してきた、これこそ天才と呼ぶべき存在だが……彼は日々の生活の中で“愛”を見失ってしまう。ここでの愛とは、他人を愛することではなく(むしろヴィクトルは人を愛している方だと思う)、尊く慈しむべき“愛”という感情である。正確に言う言葉がなくて、作中でも<愛>としか表現されていないが(私は誰にでもある物で、何か特別大切なものに対する、表現出来ない、掌の温度のような、そんな、どこまでも暖かくて寂しくて激しい、離し難い感情だと解釈している)…………とにかく、その”愛“を持ち合わせていなかったのだ。1人の27歳のロシア人男性であるヴィクトル・ニキフォロフを見失っていたのかもしれない。
そんな彼が出会ったのが勝生勇利である。(こちらが主人公なので先に紹介した方が良かったかもしれない)勝生勇利は日本のフィギュアスケーターで24歳。幼い頃からヴィクトル・ニキフォロフに憧れ続けていた。(彼の経歴や彼とヴィクトルが出会った経緯などは省略するが……)彼は”愛“に溢れた存在だった。ヴィクトルとはまるで反対だ。自分を取り囲む他人を愛し、また氷の上の全てを”愛“していた。しかし彼には致命的な弱点がある。それは、自分に自信がないことである。勝生勇利は、努力の才能を持つ人間だ。上手くいかないことがあると、練習、練習、練習......そのお陰で上手くなったとも言えるが、なんせ自信がない。中国大会、勇利はショートプログラムを1位で通過する。しかし1位になったことで、彼はどうしようもないほど追い詰められたのだ。第一に、1位に慣れていないから。そして、ずっと憧れだったヴィクトル・ニキフォロフの選手としての命の時間を奪っているのにも関わらず、金メダル1枚取れていないから。彼は、「自分だけが悪く言われるのは慣れている」。だが、「ヴィクトルが悪く言われる」のは耐えられないのだ。ヴィクトルの時間を奪って、これ以上悪い成績を残すわけにはいかないプレッシャー、追い打ちをかけるように聞こえる拍手と歓声。それら全てに打ちひしがれている勇利をいっそ壊してしまおうと考えたヴィクトルは、今度いい成績を残せなかったら「コーチを辞める」と宣言する。酷い言葉だと考えるかもしれないが、ヴィクトルはそんなに生ぬるい愛は持ち合わせていないのだ。勇利は案の定壊れてしまう。泣きじゃくる勇利をヴィクトルは本心ではないと言って宥めるが、勇利は、そんな事は分かっている、と。自分だけの戦いではないから不安で仕方ない………そんな勇利の想いを知ったヴィクトルは、ようやく”愛“の片鱗を掴む。しかし何をすればいいのか分からないので、キスでもすれば良いのか、と問いかける。違うよ!!!と叫ぶ勇利。そして放った言葉が前述したものだ。
その時に流れていたサウンドトラックが、トラック30 Heartbeatsである。
この曲は、自分が追い込まれた時、いつも思い出す。意図せずとも頭に鳴り響く。自分が自分だけでは生きていないことを、改めて実感させられる。良くも悪くも人生には、色んな人が関わっているのだなと思う。もう戻ってこない日々の記憶の温かさを感じつつ、現実で背負っている重荷の苦しみを感じる。
この曲こそが、私の“愛”の塊なのかもしれない。
そう思ったが、やはり違うような気もするのでやめておく。

Free to Download & Print Yuri on Ice 2022-23 Calendar
Tumblr media
This is the fourth time I’ve made one of these and the first time it has an April start.  The calendar includes one month per page, from April 2022 through April 2023.  Holidays are US-centric and print size is 8.5 inches x 14 inches, US legal size paper in portrait.  There are several other notable dates marked as well as a few character birthdays.
Download PDF here
I shifted the calendar start month to April to reduce interference with artist-made calendars that begin more traditionally in January.  April also marks the start of the Japanese school year and one of the official YOI calendars produced a while back started in April - so for all these reasons I changed the start month.
This calendar has a generously-sized grid, which left a smaller image area.  All images this year prominently feature Yuuri and/or Victor.  Next year I will try to make the grid slightly smaller and the images slightly bigger.
No images were taken from private artists, although friends have told me artists might like to see a calendar that includes their art.  I suppose if any artists are interested in the idea, let me know!
As not everyone has their own printer or access to one, I looked briefly into online printing.  If you are in the US, you should be able to download the file and send it for local printing and pickup at chain shops such as Staples or Office Depot or FedEx Office.  Almost any local print shop should be able to print the file as well.  The printed pages are set for US legal size paper, 8 1/2 inches x 14 inches.
