I know what the trope is. And it only applies if a) there's really no reason why the MPDG is in love with the hero and b) the MPDG is not a character with any independence or agency.

We know why Victor is interested in Yuri (initially from the flirting at the party, then building from Victor watching Yuri skate and challenge himself). And Victor is his own character, he doesn't exist solely for Yuri's sake any more than Yurio does. He has his own motivations, friendships, and interests. And he's not perfect, he makes mistakes. And frankly, I'm not sure he's all that kuh-razy and ~quirky~, beyond some anime humor, he's a pretty typical mature adult.

Victor's "reason" for dropping everything and travel to Japan is such a wish fullfilment fantasy that it fits the trope to a T. And giving him a couple of friends doesn't change the fact that he only exists as a tool to develop Yuuri and is barely given any development or narrative of his own.

His reasons were that he'd fucking lost his passion for skating. People don't magically stay passionate forever. He lost it well before Yuuri, and then Yuuri managed to spark some passion again.

You really just want this to be the Yurio Tsundere Show, don't you?

So, wish fullfilment fantasy. "And then your hero will notice you and travel to your country because he was omg so inspired by you".

If you want to word it like that, then it's a wish fulfillment fantasy in both ways. "The hero is exactly who you need in your life. He wants you for who you're, gives you back the passion you were missing and in the end you get, thanks to the hero, love, life and inspiration to go on."
