Hanyu, who was in the toughest position of needing a victory to qualify, was able to do precisely that.
He was not flawless, however, as he once again fell out of a quad toe loop landing and had a fall during the circular step sequence.
Nevertheless, the 16-year-old proved that he truly belongs to the ranks of the top Senior skaters.
Never allowing the mistakes to throw him off, he nailed all other jumping passes, including two powerful triple Axels.
The passion he pours into his interpretation of Romeo and Juliet, as well as the effortless flow he maintains over the ice,
would have been remarkable even in a more seasoned competitor.
“I am very tired right now,” admitted the two-time Japanese junior national champion at the press conference,
“but I am also very happy to earn such a good result for Japan.”
Hanyu also had a bit of sport luck on his side that evening as he finished second in the free skating,
but was able to edge Fernandez for victory by 0.03 points.
“I am a bit overwhelmed right now,” he said about qualifying for the Final for the first time in his career.
“I have not yet realized what I have achieved, but I am confident that I will do my best in the Final.”
