Hanyu hit a low point back in december (2019), while competing in his third event that month, he finished second at the japanese nationals champships, Yuzuru decided to change his free program, his heart wasn't in it.
"I actually wasn't happy after my nationals, I've lost my pride for the skating, I've lost my confidence for my skating, so, I really want to find the motivation for my skating."
So he returned to the skate that brought him gold at the 2018 Olympic Winter Games, in it, he found himself again, and his fire was reignited.
"I found... I found some of my skating, and I found what I feel skating. I'm able to say what I love as a figure skater. I felt so much confidence with the music. I was able to feel that program is mine, I really want to skate for myself and I really want to skate, I really want to show what is figure skating for me."

But will of course continue skating as a “pro skater”. Which means Yuzu is very much not retiring from skating. We’ll see him at ice shows, like all the retired skaters!
