"nigiri" is simply the verb for holding/molding. Nigiri sushi is sushi that is molded (into the little blocks) and onigiri is a big thing that is molded. There's not a fic-breaking chasm that would crack open if you got the two wrong.
Onigiri versus jelly donuts, though, is just hilarious bad localisation.
~Lily, who recently changed kibi-dango to onigiri in her retelling of Momotaro to 8 year old Taiwanese children because we don't need to get into all the itty-bitty details between different rice-based snacks when the whole point is that Momotaro eats something special that gives him superpowers.
