The author had poured it all the way to the line, but somehow ran out of liquid for the last one... . Was there not enough water?

One piece missing...

Place the octopus in the microwave one at a time (approx. 40 seconds at 500W, 30 seconds at 600W). If you have a turntable, set it on the edge; if not, set it in the center to warm up.

Microwaveable

When finished warming it up, remove it from the microwave, being careful not to burn yourself. I had already noticed the smell of mayo sauce when I was making the octopus and dough, but this pastry has a very strong smell! The smell increases as it warms up, so if you have a keen sense of smell, turn on the exhaust fan or open a window while you work.

Flip the takoyaki over with a toothpick and top with the sauce and mayonnaise. Cut the mayonnaise off the end of the bag with scissors to make it easier to get out.

Finished with sauce and mayo!
I tore off some leftover octopus and sprinkled it on top.

The flavor I'm curious about is a warm, dusty baked pastry with a strong mayo sauce flavor...sort of? It is strangely elastic.
