Previously, we shared about an uncanny fan-made statue of Detective Pikachu, which depicted the film character with a furrowed expression. Now, however, it looks like the electric rodent’s scrunched-up face has evolved into something bigger in Japan!

Apparently, Japanese fans have been producing oodles of fan-art with that same hilarious expression – a lot of it. From more statues, to cookies, and even replicating the face on other Kanto-region starters – many seem to be having a blast poking fun at the film.

Check out some examples below.

しわしわのピカチュウが久々のドストライクだったので🐭⚡️

1枚目は公式アングル意識。

芝に乗せたら可愛いのでは🤔と思ったけど草野球のおじさん感がすごい。

4枚目は事件の調査で聞き込みに来た時に、正座してたら足が痺れてしまったという細か〜い設定つき。笑#名探偵ピカチュウ #羊毛フェルト pic.twitter.com/sDlgo1OTXX

Finally, one YouTuber even reproduced the hilarious face in latte art form. Check it out below.

It’s certainly strange that the trend has been unique to Japan, so far. Perhaps local fans just aren’t used to seeing Pikachu in a western CGI style. In any case, let’s hope they’re excited for the film’s upcoming release in May 2019!
