Let's talk about something serious. Something that keeps me (and probably you) up at night. Is Yuri!!! on Ice ever getting a season 2?
The Ice Rink of Dreams (or Broken Dreams?)
We all fell in love with Yuri Katsuki. His journey was inspiring. Plus, let's be honest, the romance with Victor Nikiforov was EVERYTHING.
So, where's the sequel? Why are we left hanging like a quadruple axel gone wrong?
The Movie That Wasn't (Exactly)
Okay, okay, we know about Ice Adolescence. The movie about Victor's past. It was supposed to be amazing!
But... delays. Lots and lots of delays. It feels like we're waiting for Godot, only with more sparkles and figure skating.
Is it ever actually coming out? Or will it become the stuff of legends? A beautiful myth whispered among anime fans.
Unpopular Opinion Time: Maybe We Don't Need It?
Brace yourselves. This might be controversial. I'm about to say something that could get me cancelled.
Maybe, just maybe, Yuri!!! on Ice is perfect as it is. Hear me out!
The ending we got was pretty darn good. Yuri found his confidence. He and Victor solidified their bond.
Leaving on a High Note
Think about it. So many shows get sequels that just aren't as good. They try too hard. They lose the magic.
What if a season 2 ruins the perfection of the original? What if it doesn't live up to the hype?
Sometimes, it's better to cherish the memories. Remember the feels. And re-watch the first season a million times (guilty!).
"But I want more Victuuri!" I hear you cry. And trust me, I get it. I really, really do.
The Power of Fanfiction (and Imagination!)
Here's the thing: we have fanfiction. And fan art. And countless talented creators keeping the Yuri!!! on Ice flame alive.
We can imagine their future. We can write our own stories. We can create the content we crave!
Maybe that's the real beauty of it. The show sparked something in us. It gave us the inspiration to continue the story ourselves.
Let's Be Real: It's Been a While
It's been years, folks. Years since we first saw Yuri faceplant on the ice (we've all been there, right?).
Years since Victor arrived and turned his world upside down. Years since we collectively lost our minds over the Eros program.
At this point, a season 2 feels... unlikely. I'm not saying it's impossible. But I'm not holding my breath either.
My Final (Possibly Wrong) Thoughts
So, is Yuri!!! on Ice getting a season 2? Probably not. And honestly? Maybe that's okay.
We have a perfect, self-contained story. A beautiful animation. And a fandom that refuses to let it die.
Let's cherish what we have. And keep dreaming of Victor's butt. (Don't judge me!).
I said it! Now come at me!
