You seem confused, munzy.
Both in that video I posted and your pics, those are onigiri. They use cooked rice, not puffed rice.
"Puffed" means "popped" as in "popcorn". The Japanese don't eat puffed rice as a meal. It's used in snacks, often sweetened or mixed with chocolate.
The black thing covering the onigiri is called のり and it's dried seaweed in the form of a sheet.
