This clip could have been further trimmed to just Yuna's skating sequence, which is powerful / inspiring in its own right.

But the interaction between athlete and coach (Shinichirou) is so heartwarming.

Yuna's self-doubt at the end - despite having just pulled off prodigy-level moves - made me want to hug her so bad. I am so glad Shinichirou showed her the support he did instead of chastising her.

These segments showed so much of the characters' personalities it felt like such a waste to leave them out.
