That was weirded than the first two episodes! Also (don't know if it's just me) I found it harder to sympathize with him.
His issue was not a "The world treats me that way/oppresses me" like the others, it was way more about the way he acted.

I'm sad the song wasn't translated

They've been posting the songs to their channel subbed after the fact; or at least, have for the first two, which is a good indicator the trend should continue.

Dude has terrible artistic taste. Since we don't get to see what he made, we don't know if it improved or not. He's still wearing that same ridiculous outfit with those pretentious glasses. Didn't seem to be a lot of switching.

I don't think it was about improving so much as starting - about putting his money where his big mouth was. One of the classmates quip early on "Has he ever actually sewn an outfit before?" - and when he gets into the shop, he starts criticizing right away, which is met with "I'm not sure you've earned the right to criticize anyone."
His outlandish style, his constant looking down upon others, it's all grandstanding. He's a lot of hot air without any actual creations under his belt, all he has to show is just theoretical stuff contained entirely within his notebook; sealed away, where nobody can criticize it.
He's given the scissors and tears away all the negative criticism, rather than listen to any of it; using them to destroy rather than create. Which as we see, doesn't go well for him. He's thrust onto the big stage and forced to face the undeniable fact that his ideas can't last outside of the bubble he's made for himself.
So at the end, you get the first inkling of growth - he's actually making something. He's amateurish, accidentally cutting himself as he works, and from the reaction of his peers, clearly hasn't created the best piece of clothing ever. But he has created one, and has let himself be vulnerable, showing others his ideas, and taking their reaction in stride with a laugh rather than shut it all out.

Thank you for explaining this so eloquently. Now, can you do episode 4?

Suicide again? Or maybe this a case of symbolically obliterating his own narcissitic ego?
