Alas, Yuuri and Viktor hug 0 times in this episode. Even though both of them clearly need a hug. Who allowed Yuuri to look like that? Why didn’t anyone stop him? This is oppression.
Viktor is naked in this episode and he flies to Japan to hit on a cute boy, so it’s okay.

EPISODE 2
Yuuri and Viktor do not hug in this episode, but not because Viktor isn’t trying. He is employing all of his tactics, including: seductively displaying his nipples, sleeping, Makkachin, gently touching Yuuri’s mouth, assigning him the sexy program, and asking Yuuri to sleep with him.
Viktor’s seduction tactics are garbage but I (and Yuuri) still love him.

EPISODE 3
Okay folks this is where it gets good. There are two (2) hugs in this episode! First up, Yuuri hugging Viktor (and asking him to watch him) right before he performs Eros. Second, Viktor hugs Yuuri right after the program (though he then he gives Yuuri a long lecture.) Third, Viktor puts his arm around Yuuri while they’re on the podium. Is this technically a half hug at best? Yes. Am I including it? YES.
This episode contains a second incidence of Viktor touching Yuuri’s mouth. And an incidence of Viktor showing Yuuri his dick.

EPISODE 4
Alas, Viktor and Yuuri don’t technically hug in this episode. But on the other hand, 1. BEACH SCENE 2. Viktor stretching Yuuri naked while a man thanks god in the background (what a mood) and 3. Yuuri running into Viktor’s room in the middle of the night to play the music for him.

EPISODE 5:
Viktor, while hugging Yuuri: seduce me with everything you have. bring the audience to their knees. Viktor, while hugging Yuuri: your lips are chapped let me caress them with my 800 lip blam Viktor, while hugging Yuuri: it’s amazing you got such a high score when you slammed your face into the wall!
Like is it any wonder that this episode ends with Yuuri making a public confession of his love????
This is also the episode with the hug fake-out but I’m not taking points off for that, because I’m biased.

EPISODE 6
Viktor is naked again in this episode. Viktor is naked a LOT. I should have made that a count.
This is a hug-heavy episode, possibly because that’s just what happens when Chris is in the vicinity. Naked hug at the hot pot place! (Forehead touch!) Hug at the kiss and cry! Viktor hugging Yuuri while Chris has an orgasm on the ice!

EPISODE 7:
I’m choosing to count Viktor taking a nap on top of Yuuri as a hug. Fight me. On one hand, this is a pretty scanty episode for hugs. ON THE OTHER HAND…
…the hug we DO get is, in fact, perfect. (”hug or kiss” you fools it’s both)

EPISODE 8:
There’s minimal hugging in this episode because Yuuri is too busy casually ruining Viktor for all other men. Also because Viktor’s busy indulging his foot thing.

Plot twist: Yuuri’s anxiety was the villain of YOI all along! The only hug here is in the flashback, but it’s a really cute flashback, so I guess that’s okay.
