What is your favorite ship/dynamic in the show?
As a new mod of this sub I wanted to make sure im actually interacting with the community, so I ended up thinking of this question!
Personally Victor x Yuuri is my all time favorite ship and dynamic in the show, but that feels to obvious to be my only answer I write here (As they are the two MC's). This post may get long as I am the type to ramble, so feel free to skip over the following section and just give your answer.
Now onto my own opinions on some dynamics I love... Made conveniently into a list with (fairly short) reasonings:
Yuri. P and Yuuko
At the start of the show we see Yurio be rather hostile with Yuuko, but even though they just met she shows her care for him and they develop a sweet bond. We see her chasing after him once the hot springs match is over, and we even get to watch her cheer him on throughout the series. Overall its a rather wholesome bond.
Otabek and Yuri. P
Getting sneak peaks into how their friendship came to be and seeing how they support each other in their own ways (with much subtler gestures than emotional people like Yuuri) was fun, and learning how they met before even if Yurio forgot was nice too, it gave some insight into Otabeks character and how he came to be the skater he is today.
Minami and Yuri
Oh man I love their dynamic even if their episodes together were short, we got to see how much Minami idolized Yuri (much like Yuri did Victor) and how Yuri initially tried to be cold and ignore his fan. These twos interactions played a huge part in Yuri's character development when Minami gave his little speech about Yuri not talking bad about himself. With that new insight from both Victor and Minami, Yuri eventually did acknowledge Minami and wish him luck- which we get to see how it affected Minami and his anxiety.
Personally, watching this tiny journey is something I always love because it reminds me of Yuri and Victors progress too, it almost felt like Yuri didnt want to be the "untouchable idol" he always viewed Victor as until recent, instead he actually interacted with Minami and made him happy. (Much like Victor started to show Yuri how hes just a human too and not some god)
Christophe and Victor
While I dont have many specifics to give about this, in general I just love their dynamic. Victor is Chris' motivation in the competition (until later in the show) and their overall bond is sweet. Both of them rather unbothered and flirty, I especially love the pool scene.

That's all! Though I do really enjoy most character relationships in the show (Like Phichit and Yuri), I just listed out some of my favorites! Though I wouldn't call these ones ships (As a majority are a minor x Adult), I still included ships in the titles incase you guys have some! Whether platonic or romantic, who's your guys favorite characters to see interact?
