about the press conference Victor don't understand any thing because Yuri was speaking in japanese and he and Victor only speak English between them because according to one of the interviews of the official DVD Victor only can speak French, English and Russian 😊
***** Well of course they speak japanes is because of the voices actor but like I say in the interview of the Official DVD said that Victor only speak those 3 language, is more like a fan theory that he and Yuri speak english between them because Yuri also speaks english, that would explain why they use some english words in the anime like "amazing or no no everything is ok" sometimes.
Yuuri also mentioned that he's never had a coach for himself before, he always had to share a coach with another skater. So coming from someone like Yuuri it probably helped him a lot. All your reactions were so funny xD I love the mini discussions after the episode as well! I can't wait for Episode 6!
about those tissue boxes, it exists in the real figure skating world, e.g. Yuzuru Hanyu has Winnie The Pooh; Evgienia Miedviedieva has Luna, the cat from Sailor Moon; Denis Ten has Ted (that strange teddy bear from some movie) :D
up until the last couple episodes of Yuri on ice I thought the dog was an actual dog and not a tissue box. I was wondering why Victor was carrying him around all the time and how it got so small. *facepalm*
