Up until the camping trip, he couldn't fight infront of the other exwires due to his inability to use the Kurikara without his demonic abilities being revealed. Why didn't Mephisto or someone just give him a different sword? Why not just give him a simple, bog standard sword to use? I understand that he was told never to part with the Kurikara by Fujimoto but he could still carry the Kurikara, just not use it, even if it is a bit suspicious and I understand some of his fighting prowess is down to his ability to use his flames by releasing the Kurikara, but couldn't he just train himself in swordsmanship or seek training with Shura? Is it down to the metal used that makes it able to kill demons? If so, why not make one? I mean if they have enough of this special metal to make an entire arsenal of guns and stuff, then why can't they make a sword? (Spoiler Alert) And they did make or provide a shed load of extra weapons in the anime when Ernst Frederik Egin wanted to destroy Gehenna with his Messiah bomb and they required all that blood to open the Gehenna gate which they collected by killing demons. I've gone off on a tangent, my point is, why not give Rin a spare sword?
