Hanyu, Takahashi and Mura.
Can Hanyu maul the field and dominate from hereon? JN will be very exciting. Good luck to all the highly talented competitors. Japan is so lucky to produce such a talented crop. Japanese men will definitely be on the podiums for the next decade looking at the current and upcoming talents in Japan.

The real issue is who will fight for the No 3 spot and who will win it.
Let's see how the "Big 4" skate this weekend in Sochi!
Side note: Even though they're not considered medal contendors, I would have included Daisuke MURAKAMI (hopefully he will be recovered enough from his shoulder injury/NHK withdrawal?) and Kento NAKAMURA in the poll options since they had the top 2 scores at JPN Sectionals last month (instead of the 5th & 6th place Junior National finishers, Sei KAWAHARA and Taichi HONDA).
