The official website describes Yuri!!! On Ice

He ended in dismal failure in the Grand Prix Final which he challenged with full of expectation from all over Japan…
A figure skater who was about to return back to his home, Kyushu, Yuri Katsuki. “Remaining in, or retiring from active duty is respectively 50% and 50%”, Yuri was thinking in that way, and staying at his home. Then, Victor Nikiforov, who is the five-peat champion of World Championship, suddenly visited Yuri …
Japanese skater standing on an edge of a cliff, Yuri Katsuki, and Russian skater in case of the tail wagging the dog, Yuri Plisetsky. Unparalleled Grand Prix Series that two “Yuri”s and the champion Victor challenge against is now drawing a curtain aside!
