So in the first episode, during the press conference for the Grand Prix Final, the animators accidentally spelled Viktor’s last name Niliforv.
My mind immediately thought up a scenario where Viktor’s name is constantly being spelled wrong. More complicated names are always spelled right, but Viktor’s? No.
It becomes an in-joke among his friends.
“Oh look, here comes Viking Nickelfork,” Yurio says every time Viktor comes to the rink.
“Ah, my old friend Vapor-rub Knucklefuck,” Chris says before the Cup of China.
“When we get married, will we hyphenate to Katsuki-Nuggetfluff or will we just keep our last names?” Yuuri asks in bed one night.
