Shocking Recreation of "Oguri Serving" Croquette Tower Draws Flood of Comments Like "It Looks Like Jenga" and "Stacked Like Candy in an Arcade Machine"! 'Umamusume: Cinderella Gray'

The official X account for the anime 'Umamusume: Cinderella Gray' has been updated, revealing images of a "mountain of croquettes" displayed at the currently ongoing event "Umamusume: Cinderella Gray EXHIBITION—Traces of the Monster's Hoofprints—," causing a major buzz online.

What was posted was a photo of an exhibit titled "Oguri Serving Croquettes."

The released image shows a massive pile of croquettes stacked high on a plate. The tower of fried food, arranged in a conical shape without any gaps, maintains an exquisite balance, and the accompanying shredded cabbage appears tiny in comparison, radiating an overwhelming sense of volume. Rice and miso soup can be seen partially at the side, giving it the appearance of a set meal, but the amount of the main dish clearly presents a visual that defies common sense.

This work is based on the manga by manga artist Taiyo Kuzumi, scriptwriter Masafumi Sugiura, and manga project planner Junnosuke Ito (original work by Cygames). It is a comic adaptation featuring Oguri Cap (CV: Tomoyo Takayanagi), who appears in the cross-media content "Umamusume: Pretty Derby," as the protagonist. The story depicts the "monster's" Cinderella story as she transfers from the local Kasamatsu to the central league and engages in fierce battles with her rivals.

In response to this shocking visual, fans have sent in numerous comments expressing surprise and making jokes such as "It's stacked like candy in an arcade machine," "It looks like Jenga," "The central cafeteria that can withstand second helpings is a monster," and "I'm amazed the croquettes at the bottom are holding up."
