A P P L A U S E || Viktor Nikiforov || Yuri on Ice 

This scene when his hair changes tho😍

It is completely beyond me how anyone could not be completely in love with Victor.

Viktor is the sexiest anime character ever

I generally don't like watching AMVs but I clicked anyway because I needed to see Viktor skating *.*

I watch this, like, every day. HELP

I WANT HIM TO DO A QUADRUPLE SALCHOW ON MY FUCKING GRAVE.

Victor hasn't been on the ice for so long that we forgot how a great skater he is. I hope to be able to see a performance of his sometime soon.

great. now I'm pregnant.

You know what I think of when I watch this video? Victor with long hair was probably still skating for himself. But “Stay Close To Me” Victor sends another message, like his dance is more like a plea to the world that he’s actually very lonely and that he needs someone. But the tone still makes him seem unreachable, no matter what his language may say. Because not just anyone will do, whoever chooses him must also prove themselves as well. He doesn’t ask, he demands someone to take the challenge with the “give me the thing that I love” line.This seems clear even before Yuri comes into the picture. An unsatisfied and lonely prince. But anyone else viewing the performance would just accredit it to his masterful skill to be able to replicate such deep emotion and would never suspect it genuine. And because no one can reach or understand him, he starts to implode on himself…and he starts losing what it was he loved - canonically, he has lost his motivation and cannot make it what he wants it to be any longer. In a way, just like Yuri, Victor is starting to give up on himself too in this frustration. But the show must go on. Contrast that with the initial “practicing” skating sessions…he looks happier a bit, probably because it isn’t a competition of course, but also I see even the small smiles and teasing remarks (i.e. piggy) as kind of a poker face (another Lady Gaga song wow) to silently hide his hope for Yuri so he can remain objective until both are satisfied.

I love how Victor's like "I'm sexy af" and then the next second he's all like "I'm the cutest cinnamon pie you have ever seen, love me"

didn't think I'd get into this anime and fall in love with a balding Russian guy but here I am

I'm really gay but I'd be straight for Viktor tbh

why is that no matter when you pause the video viktor always looks so beautiful and flawless?

Oh my god he's ACTUAL PERFECTION LOOK AT HIS EYES SO MANY EROS

Victor you sexy beast! Yuri is one lucky guy~!

this makes him look like such a badass KING i am shook

i'm pregnant.

As a former ballet dancer, my heart just jumped a little because I have never seen an anime character expressing so much through movement alone. It makes me nostalgic because I know how it feels. His way of dancing on ice is so elegant, so smooth and so emotional. I just came here to see him skate one more time, because he's so, so freakin amazing.

159.309 people is pregnant right now. Thanks Victor.

I don't understand what it is about this anime, but it inspires me so much. The beauty in the animation is amazing, I can't remember the last time any movie has made me got chills from how beautiful and soothing the animation was. It makes me want to strive to become this amazing of an animator, more than anything. To all the people who worked on it, they did an amazing job. I just can't seem to stop watching this video, it's completely captivating.

CAN-YOU-NOT I'm trying to finish my homework but I keep on replaying this

this song fits so good and shows the sexiness of victor

My ovaries... shit.

0:48 that hairflip gave me life...

Yuri after seeing this AMV: "It's enough to make even me, a man, pregnant! Such Eros!"

This amv is so pretty! I like that there's no victuri or any other interactions between characters. Just Victor. Skating Victor. And there's no need for anything more. (at least it's how I feel about it) It's just so hypnotizing that I could rewatch it countless times!

Victor is so perfect.

I've watched this video about 60 times

Victor, please marry me!!

Victor is flawless and he is so perfect i can't barely explain.😘

I've watched this more times than I'd like to admit

I love how in this video, he is shown as extremely masculine and also slightly feminine which they claimed that he was known for. I appreciate this kind of video, it was just so beautifully powerful and put together well. Thank you for making this spectacular video, Kudos to you!😘

Me discovering this anime in 2023 : 💃🥳 Then discovering there is no manga: 😢 Then discovering there might be a movie and possibility to see Viktor skating: ☺🥰 Then I realized that the movie hasn't been released in the last 7 years and will probably never be released since Mappa animates all the shonen manga: 😭😭😡 this was an emotional rollercoaster.

Man, I love Sam Tsui so much.

This honesty sounds and looks majestic! Victor is so handsome!

Victor is so mysterious we don’t really know about him and his history and even though he is pretty popular and yuuri is a fan of we don’t know so much about when he was younger. i am so excited for adolence young victor here we come❤️❤️

*cough* dayum

THIS SONG AND VOICE FIT HIM SO PERFECTLY😭😭😭😭😭❤❤❤❤

honestly... i really want to know the whole story of viktor and all his good and bad lmao

This song really suits him and his story, because before he decided to coach Yuri, he was flawless, winning over and over again, and the show points that we was back then living for "applause", the awe of others for his performances. Glad he decide to take a year break and help Yuri, and at the same time find true love and healthy growth🕊💕

this amv makes me feel some type of way.

I want someone to tell me what its like to not be thinking about Viktor Nikiforov 24/7 because honestly i wouldnt know

How can there be 11 dislikes in this video. It's such a passionate edit. I can't stop watching it. Victor is flawless, powerful, and admirable

i love watching victor skate. he’s so beautiful and graceful even when he’s doing something simple. he’s just so pretty

i come back every year to see this vid

This absolute perfection holy crap

It’s 2023 and I’d still commit heinous crimes to meet this man

POR QUE VICTOR ES TAN HERMOSO?!

I think I broke the replay button.

I've been staring at it for 5 hours

I've watched this so many times! I freaking love Victor and this show! This song suits him so well! 😍😍😍

He's such and adorable and quirky cinnamon roll most of the time, that I forgot how beautiful and graceful he looks when actually skating.

This is like the perfect song for Viktor!

this is THE BEST video on yt. but it should be illegal bc it's too addicting

This is the best thing I've ever seen in my life, I'm so blessed, I can't stop watching this *^*

this is one of those videos i come back to every once in a while because GODDAMN

hes beauty hes grace hes...Viktor Nikiforov

Victor is a bae😍😍😍

HELP I AM SO IN LOVE ITS UNBELIEVABLE I COULD NEVER LOVE A HUMAN BEING THIS MUCH IT HURTS

Im late and sad thing most of the yoi post i see on yt is like 4 years ago yeah yuri on ice is my favorite anime of all the time and another thing that im late since its 2021 now and this anime got release in 2016/2017. the fandom hibernated lol and has woke up after the movie trailer tbh i rlly wish that i have watched this anime earlier around when this was airing and also i love this edit so much even im so so late 💕🤧

this is so accurate, so good, the editing is ON POINT??? dude, congrats, this is awesome.

Is it just me or is Viktor even more hot with long hair 😂😘🙏

viktor is so beautiful that it literally hurts when i have to remind myself he isn't even real

Almost forgot to watch this today

I didn't need my ovaries anyway

Summary of Viktor: SMARTASS, BADASS, GREAT ASS~*insert lenny face*

It's interesting that you decided to use this version of the song! It still carries the same message, but it's more graceful and elegant somehow, like Victor XD

the song was made for him

My fangirl heart !!!OMG😭😱Aaaaaaah!!!

Victor is Beautiful!!

I live it when his hair goes Whoosh

This makes me wanna cry because he can't have that anymore 😭😭

I love this because I feel like people forget how impressive Viktor actually is because he's such a dork. But, he's literally the BEST, the 5 time defending champion with world records. He's the absolute best at what he does and he knows it. I love it.

this suits victor at most wow great video

Victor is the consummate entertainer. He can't help himself. He LIVES for the applause.

god...this is by far my favorite YOI video I've found....like..legit. You picked the perfect song with perfect clips..just tens across the board.

The whole time I was just looking at the hair and thinking “damn these animations need an award”

TBH, this is how I picture Draco Malfoy in 2D..So much grace and nice hair...

This is just.... I can't describe it... Victor/Viktor is such a good character, I love him so much, he is just bae.. His way he impresses everybody, his way to handle with Yuri, and of course, his obvious love for Yuri.. I just love him! Victor/Viktor is just bae.. I think, that's everything I can say about this wonderful character.. I'm so speechless .. ♥♥

4 years later and I'm still in love with him.

the opening gave me chills holy-

When I first saw this video, I watched it 30 times over and over again

Viktor is the BEST!👏

The way I didn't blink for whole 2:16 minutes, my mom is concerned

Applause was made for Viktor. That's the comment.

He's so beautiful

What a gorgeous edit omg. The musicality is just Stunning.

Hey guys! Wow, I really didn't expect to get so much attention for this video, thank you all so much for your wonderful comments! I love you all! However as much as I appreciate all of your love, please be mindful of not flooding Sam's comment section for the original video from where the song came from about YoI! Thank you!!

i think i just fell in love again

This is elegant sexy and well edited keep up the fantastic work.

i love viktor too he is best boy bless you for making this 💕🙏🙏 edit:HRGGHH got shivers from watching this and how beautiful viktor is...!!!

*Dan's voice: WE'RE ALL PREGNANT*

Viktor: Give me the thing that I love~! *Yuri comes in* Yuri: I'm here!

This video touches me so much. Remember what he said in Episode 10 (I guess). He told the viewer that he neglected love for many many years and now found Yuri.

You know you've become a true fan when you can distinguish and name all the perfomances in the clip ;D

This is absolutely brilliant and I love the cover so much! I'm getting back into figure skating because of Yuri on Ice and I'm planning on cosplaying Viktor, so guess who's already planning a program to this song? 😏

Here becauz my dearest boi Victor is having a movie, ice adolescence💜💜 Gorgeous😍

I really love Victor because he has a lovely smile (and he is so cute, too) .I can not stop waiting ss2 to see him again. Now I am collecting everything related to him

When this video came out I would watch it everyday, I was literally obsessed with this video. Came back to watch it 2 years later and it still makes makes me hella happy.

He's so perfect it's making me cry-
