"Yuri On Ice" season 2 news and updates have been circulating on the internet since the first season ended in Dec. 2016. Reports about new characters coming in for season 2 have been a popular point of discussions among fans and followers. What' the latest update for the popular anime series?

According to Mobipicker, there are three major things that are expected to happen in "Yuri On Ice" season 2. First, Yuri Plisetsky will continue to fight for the Grand Prix Title. In the first season, Yuri Plisetsky failed to get the gold medal which has continuously nagged at his pride. Fans should expect more Yuri vs. Yuri battles in the upcoming season.

The second "Yuri On Ice" season 2 spoiler reveals the possibility of Yuri Katsuki surpassing the achievements of his coach, Viktor. Although Yuri Katsuki and Viktor's relationship as student and coach is fairly harmonious, there are times when Yuri wants to step out of his coach's shadow. This would mean that Yuri will have to deviate from the moves, techniques and routines that Viktor has laid out for him. This possible deviation will be a major make or break decision in Yuri's career.

Meanwhile, a familiar face in season 1 will reportedly say goodbye in "Yuri On Ice" season 2. Christoper Giacommeti is tagged as one of the oldest among the skaters which would mean that he might consider retiring in the upcoming season. Although he is undoubtedly one of the most talented skaters, Christophe is faced with the hard reality that there are numerous skaters who are much younger and has more potential than him. However, he might not say goodbye for good as Christophe might be a coach alongside Viktor.

As of writing, "Yuri On Ice" Season 2 air date remains to be announced. However, for those who want to see a glimpse of "Yuri On Ice" on another platform, Crunchy Roll reports that "Rage Of Bahamut" card battle mobile game has collaborated with the popular anime series and features a trio of professional ice skaters in the game from Feb. 15 to Feb. 22, 2017.
