Why did Gintoki wear all white during the war? Was it so that he was easier to see as the MC or was there a meaning behind this decision?
In this thread, I'll be going over why I think Gintoki chose to wear such an eye-catching outfit during the war

While all his comrades wore darker colours that would easily blend in with their surroundings (like in the forest or grim battlefield), I believe Gintoki chose to wear the conspicuous colour white in order to stand out the most and attract the most attention.
If he wore something that would easily catch the Amanto's attention the moment he enters in the battlefield, he wouldn't have to worry much about the Amanto spotting his comrades first. The moment they see the infamous Shiroyasha, Gintoki knew the Amantos would love to get his -
head first in order to gain the upper hand in the war. So he used his reputation as the feared White Demon as bait to attract their enemies, not only as a war tactic but also with the priority of protecting his friends.
So although this outfit did make him stand out among the enemy and opened up opportunities for traps against the Amanto, Gintoki's selflessness also created a giant target on his back. He accepted the burden of getting attacked first which will most likely lead to -
higher chances of getting injured, if not death. He did this all for the sake of his friends and wanting to protect them first before anything, as he also promised Shoyo.
