Usually that’s done by battering and frying the entire roll before cutting it.

Doing it with individual pieces is possible, of course, but it massively increases the chance of overcooking the center, which usually is not desired.

Freeze, batter, then fry?

  Sure, but that still adds unnecessary prep time.
  
  If you’re making a roll from scratch, it’s simply faster, easier, and more practical to fry the entire thing before cutting it. But yes, if you wanted to do this with individual pieces, I’m sure that would probably work.

    I feel like frying the entire roll leads to more uneven cooking. Overcooked ends, undercooked middle

    You can cut off the ends, and the middle SHOULD be undercooked (raw, in fact), that’s kinda the whole point of sushi.

    Idk I wouldn’t consider par-frying and freezing french fries a waste of time.
    
    Michelin quality sushi nuggets take time.
