Is Hanyu's PCS for the Sochi season a blast?

BACK

Some people say that Hanyu's PCS for the Sochi season has gone up rapidly and explosively. We pulled out the PCSs of the two Grand Prix Series and the Grand Prix Final, and found that
76.86 ⇒ 81.94 ⇒ 92.38
and adding the Finlandia Cup before the Grand Prix Series
87.02 ⇒ 76.86 ⇒ 81.94 ⇒ 92.38
I think the impression is quite different.
And you discuss only the PCS and don't mention the TES figures; if the TES is going up, then there is nothing wrong with the PCS going up.
Manipulating impressions by arbitrarily extracting only the parts that suit you makes no sense, and talking about scoring without verifying the actual performances is nonsense.
So, I have compiled objective materials here to help you in this discussion.

In December 2022, there was a blog post by a Shoma Uno fan with that main point.
The entire blog disappeared in January 2023.
