Episode 3: "When a Guy Who Usually Doesn't Talk Suddenly Makes a Joke, It's Hard to React, but Since You Can't Ignore It, You Have No Choice but to Laugh"
【Synopsis】
An incident known as the "Sticker Commotion" was occurring. It involved extortion-like acts of forcefully selling stickers that read "Atrocious," and it was said that those who refused were sometimes met with violence. As victims began to appear among the students of Gintama High School, the suspension of the school's number one delinquent, Takasugi, came to an end. The overlap of the Sticker Commotion and Takasugi's return to school only heightened the students' anxiety. Principal Hata, viewing the situation seriously, instructs the homeroom teacher, Ginpachi, to give Takasugi "personal guidance."
