It's a good idea. After all, this is Mayuri, who knows what he could make up in his intelligent and slightly insane mind.

I do wonder if Askin Nakk Le Vaar could really be the guy who attacked the SRDI during the first battle. I got the feeling that he went there this time intentionally.

As far as I can see, the lower part of his trousers look similar, but not quite the same, and I can't see his shoes. And the attacker was shown to have the "geh geh geh" laugh, and the owner of that laugh was later shown to be Unnamed Male Stern Ritter 2, the staff guy.

As to the topic - I don't now how the shining clothes could be an advantage, but maybe it has something to do with removing all the shadows - removing every shadow that could land on Mayuri, or that he could make himself whilst moving, and thus remove a possible advantage in Askin's favor.
