I wonder if the extended life of the Sonic arrow was unexpected. Like how Lemon Energy was supposed to be a Baron upgrade, before it became Duke, then became and upgrade for him anyway. Or how Gridon and Zangetsu were initially marketted as part of the main cast despite one being seldom seen in armour, and the other barely seen at all.

The show explanation is simply that the energy locks are so strong that it sacrifices arms weapons. Exception (nuts) Matsubokkuri Energy and Marron Energy. May have something to do with the fact that they're synthetic instead of natural like the normal lockseeds.
