Last week on Yuri!!! on Ice, Thai skater Phichit Chulanont presented short program "Shall We Skate?" to the theme of popular-among-skaters (within in the fiction of the anime) movie The King And The Skater. Series co-creator, original character designer and storyboard artist Mitsurou Kubo then chimed in on social media with a bonus explanation of what this movie was all about.

Kubo posted a whole summary of the movie on her Twitter earlier. Here’s a quick TL (it’s p. lol): pic.twitter.com/BYq6LU0IGJ — Beyond G-Haro (@Good_Haro) 2016年11月9日
