Oh!-No! Food Fighters!! by HJMT - Synopsis
Solar-powered robots have enslaved humanity. Food was replaced by mind-controlling energy pills that made humans forget taste. The joy of cooking and dining was long forgotten...but the spirits of food have gathered in an bunker to build an army. They were food fighters—literally food that fights back!
Not all food was aggressive enough for the frontlines—the mightiest food soldiers were those of acquired taste. The strong memories—both good AND bad—of humans that ate these foods were the source of their strength. Scouts traveled all over the world to gather the troops. Raisins, insects, cucumber, blue cheese, pineapple pizza...could they bring humans back to the kitchen table?
It all started in 2019 when HJ made a series of food of aquired taste personified as soldiers. And he specially allowed me to design one of them - the yogurt!
It wasn't originally meant to be an Bulgarian yogurt, but since I was interested in folk costumes at the time, I decided to add a 'folk' flavor to it. The large machine was inspired by costumes & masks worn by the Kukeri.

And here he is with the rest of the crew!
The project was abandoned for a while, but it was revived in 2021 with the current title Oh!-No! Food Fighters!! The project now had a plot, and even more characters joined the army. Once again you can read about them here.(Korean)
I designed some of the allies, and one of them was the notorious surströmming.
