Dagashi Kashi Season 2 Episode 2 Baseball Board Game Gum, Pop Pop Boat, and.

After the events of the previous episode, "Baseball Board Game Gum, Pop Pop Boat, and..." takes a lighter approach to the series as it focuses on a more comedic aspect. The episode opens with Kokonotsu struggling with his class assignment -- to create a new Dagashi -- while Hotaru continues her quest to convince him to take over his father's candy store.

As they brainstorm, they are introduced to a new character, Saya, who is a friend of Kokonotsu's. She also happens to be the captain of the school's baseball team. Hotaru takes an immediate interest in Saya's love for baseball, and they both agree to play a baseball-themed board game.

As they set up the game, Saya pulls out a piece of gum that Kokonotsu recognizes as Baseball Board Game Gum, a popular Dagashi he used to play with his father. The gum comes with a small, baseball-themed board game inside the packaging, which is played by rolling dice and moving pieces around the board.

After they finish playing the game, Hotaru unveils another piece of Dagashi: Pop Pop Boat. The Pop Pop Boat is a small, plastic toy boat that is powered by a candle placed inside the hull. As the candle heats up, it creates steam, which propels the boat forward in the water.

As they play with the Pop Pop Boat, Kokonotsu discovers that his father used to have a similar toy when he was a kid. Inspired by his father's story, Kokonotsu decides to create his own Dagashi toy, which he calls Kintaro Ame.

Kintaro Ame is a small, hard candy that comes with a toy figure inside the packaging. The toy is based on Kintaro, a famous folklore character in Japan who is known for his superhuman strength and his love for nature. Kokonotsu explains that he wants to create a Dagashi that not only tastes good but also comes with an interactive toy that kids can play with.

As they continue to play with the Pop Pop Boat, they run into another one of Saya's teammates, who challenges Saya to a race using their Pop Pop Boats. As they race down the river, Hotaru cheers on Saya, and Kokonotsu watches from the sidelines, proud of his friends.

Overall, "Baseball Board Game Gum, Pop Pop Boat, and..." is a fun and lighthearted episode that showcases the different types of Dagashi available in Japan. It also introduces a new character and gives Kokonotsu a chance to flex his creative muscles. Fans of the series will enjoy watching the characters play with the various Dagashi and seeing the friendships between the characters grow.
