2023World Final 3A 01 Hajime Miura

[@felixxzt1018]

In 2018, at the age of 14, he became the first person ever to win 2 divisions at the same time. In 2019 he became the seven-time world champion of 3a while breaking the scoring system of 4a with one of the most iconic routines ever, showing why he is the genius of geniuses. In 2023, wyyc returned after 3 years of covid, he went back on stage and put out the most insane, breathtaking 3a routine of all time, literally reinvented the division. I don't care what people say, he is the greatest of all time.

More precisely first person too win worlds in two specific styles at once. Shinji Saito was the first to win two world title divisions where he won Combined and 2a in 2006, 08 and 09.

[@hamdogcs]

most striking part of this freestyle to me is how he presents himself throughout the ENTIRE time he was on stage. some creepy apocalyptic vibes (especially with the song and color choice) with the limited movement directly before and after the freestyle but such orchestrated, large movement and perfect control throughout the actual freestyle. chills again just watching this again and realizing he was staring down the camera after he ended the fs. immediately after he gets off stage you can see him break out of the persona and get super hyped, on the livestream you could see him hug the MC as well. mu2 and showmanship masterclass by the greatest to ever do it.

[@xsolar]

Interesting. The vibe I got was more like he was sleepwalking/dreaming from being barefoot, the swaying, the baggy clothes, etc.

[@asdfssdfghgdfy5940]

@@xsolarinteresting how we all perceive it differently. I’ve been forced to go to a lot of weird arty things and this is very similar to them, I don’t know how to explain it but kind of dark and creepy. A bit like a Rick Owens fashion show or something. This is much more interesting to watch than an avant garde dance thing though.

[@fortnight5677]

It's just eerie

[@oboemadness1995]

I LOVE how hype the audience is. Makes me 10,000% more into this.

[@augiefash]

Maybe the best trick design and execution in the history of competitive yoyoing. The pacing, the delivery, the control, the composition, the scope and variety, the way everything works together as a unit, the understated and tense demeanor that serves to highlight the tricks, and even the outfit to match. It is simply incredible. It somehow all adds up to be even bigger than the sum of its parts. He’s a master of the craft in every sense of the word. It’s art that is bigger than yoyo.

[@aisharane]

I keep coming back to this recording because the musicality he demonstrates through his choreography is so satisfying He hits both significant beats and the less prominent ones too, all while keeping momentum and practiced polish. It’s incredible 🥹 Amazing job, well done 🙌

[@xTH2x]

What a time to be alive. This world yoyo contest might be one of the best I have ever seen. We are getting Mir Kim and Hajime super difficult and clean performance (haven't watched other divisions yet but I'm sure they are great as well). They are still young so I am super hyped to see more of them in the future!

[@leviduppongmusic]

For real though. This was the most competitive 1a and 3a have ever been in recorded history, and the very last players who competed absolutely blew everyone and everything out of the water. Both put out legendary performances that I will 100% never forget. I'm SO glad I stayed up til 3:40am watching this live

[@orinblank2056]

So happy to see a good recording of this. The live stream kept jumping between cameras and the angles were awful. Having a good, clear view of the stage on one camera is exactly what I wanted. I don't know why they can't just do that with the stream

[@philiptian9088]

Totally agree

[@leviduppongmusic]

Absolutely the best 3a routine of all time

[@secretperson8642]

Take away the 3a part

[@alanchae24]

Yeah, the only man who can beat this guy is Hajime himself

[@PasDeMD]

I love watching yoyo comp videos because of just how hype everyone gets for each other. Beautiful crowd and beautiful performance.

[@docbrown3218]

Usually in 3a mistakes throw off flow and execution. He throws a mistake gets out of it and immediately transitions without a left hand bind into the next combo. The level of skill for that is incredible. The tricks are amazing but knowing how combos flow and missing big parts and how seem less he transitions is incredible to me.

[@jeremywang1929]

Olympics next year in Paris should hire him for the performance of the opening ceremony.

[@faithsasser5679]

I wish they had 😭

[@whylark]

He's so good. This wyyc is redefining yoyoing. It's kind of understandable though when you consider that the sport has had 3 years to evolve mostly on its own outside of competition environments. All the players felt so defined stylistically this year it was amazing

[@hangezoe2437]

Mess up for s.t like 10 sec but still break his own record for the highest score in 3a history. Hajime is the definition of 3a tech

First time seeing hajime missing and tangling his yoyos in worlds. Dude still killed it with one of the most legendary freestyles in 3a ever.

[@cs371212]

he tangled his yoyos during the chaotic theme actually made me feel it was part of the routine lol

[@sinekonata]

True but he did look annoyed at it.

[@fortnight5677]

@@sinekonata he looked annoyed during the entire performance. it was just the choreography. just before leaving the stage entirely, you can see him going "f**k yeah!"

[@gertmyboy1882]

I show this to people and of course they think its insane and awesome, but when you can see the tricks he's doing, and you know how hard it is.... Truly a yoyo legend. I think he's literally the most skilled player in world rn.

[@cardscook7721]

Absolutely incredible. Majestic performance.

[@KubeShark]

Never had any interest in yoyo but that was one of the coolest things I've ever seen

[@TheJunkieBox]

Hajime's 3a has always been clean but a lot of his routines up until this point felt very similar. This routine it feels like he barely used any tricks from his previous ones which is insane. Also great dramatic music and performance on top of insane tricks.

[@skibbyskib13]

Shades of Ando in '08, we'll be seeing ripples from this freestyle for the next decade.

[@r_kimmyyy]

I can confidently say that hajime miura is the greatest yoyoer of all time.

[@frostyjoereborn7498]

i can confidently say your intialed to your opinion but wrong, hes easily the best 3a player but takeshi, shinji, rei are all equally as dominant in their category, not to mention you have to factor in players like yuuki mickey jensen for their influence in the entire world getting to this point where the meta is now. Dont get me wrong easily one of the best to ever throw but the best is kinda a fat no

[@ConnorSeals]

@@frostyjoereborn7498nobody is “equally as dominant” in any other style than Hajime is in 3a. And did you forget when Hajime won worlds in 4a too?

[@frostyjoereborn7498]

Shinji won combined when that was a category 4 times and rei won ap along with 4a others have won other categories you just put more weight on it cause it happened during your time and takeshi almost won 1a placed 2nd hardest division their is and won 5a that same years so realistically their are actually tons@@ConnorSeals

[@EvanNagao]

@@frostyjoereborn7498 You can definitely make arguments for other players such as Mickey, Shinji, etc... but at the end of the day Hajime is definitely at the top of the list in the GOAT conversation in my opinion. He won 3A and 4A in the same year. Nobody's every done something like that.

[@ChangyuXIU44]

@@EvanNagao aaaand he won 7 consecutive titles / dominated Worlds in a 10-year period which is also never done before.

[@eckZaCt]

its crazy to think how linear and mirrored 3a freestyles used to be, there was maybe 10 total seconds where the yoyos were actively doing the same move as each other. absolutely mind blowing

[@salt3613]

bruh hajime is literally unstoppable

[@dinyp3118]

Thank you Hajime for this legendary performance :)

[@tate003]

Hajimes 3a routine in 2019 scored 89.5. The second place routine in 3a scored 89.3 this year. Its been 4 years and hajimes old routine still out perfoms the secone place routine this year. Its safe to say that hajime is atleast 4 years ahead of the competition although its probably more like centuries. (edit) just found out that hajimes 2018 4a freestyle scores higher than gun ju eoms winning 2023 freestyle. He is actually inhuman

[@ConnorSeals]

It’s wild. Hajime will always be ahead of his time But comparing final scores from different contests is sorta pointless because the tech score (60% of final score) is relative to the other freestyles in that contest. With the same logic Hajime’s 2014 world routine (92.8) would’ve beaten Minato this year, which isn’t the case. Sorry I know I must be “fun at parties” but felt the need to point that out :P

[@tate003]

@@ConnorSeals ah I see. Thanks for correcting me. I would love to see how old Hajime freestyles stack up against current ones.

[@ConnorSeals]

@@tate003I would guess 2017 Hajime could be beat nowadays, but 2018 Hajime would still win by a good margin.

[@Bird.MP3]

1:57 - greatest trick of all time??????????

[@LeozHwang]

The best there ever was

[@mortalcoil1541]

I mean… yeah. The only thing I could think of is the soloham trick where you pirouette before they both hit the ground… which is something hajime does in his 4a routines🙃. Also soloham swordancer and the horizontal yo-yo+counterweight pinwheels that Jake Elliot does too. I still think hajime has them beat even if you compare jake’s, rei’s, and hajime’s trick repertoire. I mean, as far as competitive/conventional yo-yo style tricks I think hajime might have everyone on the planet beat.
