Gintoki wields a wooden sword (a bokuto) named Toyako because it鈥檚 made from a special tree that has the power to cut through almost anything, even metal! Plus, it's way cooler and more unique than a regular sword, right?
He uses it mostly for comedic relief. Imagine the look on enemies' faces when they get beat up by a wooden stick!
Because Gintoki is a total boss who can slice through anything with a wooden sword. Why use steel when you can flex with wood?
It's symbolic, representing Gintoki鈥檚 refusal to fully embrace his warrior past and instead lead a more peaceful, albeit still action-packed, life.
