Well, a sacred treasure ability does not have to be insanely powerful or even comparable to what the others have. As for lackluster ability... Mel did not even use his clones against dolor and gloxinia. Basically he did not find any use for an ability which multiplies him even against multiple opponents (unless of course there was something else preventing him from using it). King's sacred treasure ability is completely redundant. Releasing the full might of the sacred tree is something gloxinia can apparently do without help. At least based on the sacred treasure abilities we know, it is fairly easy to make the case that escanor actually has the least lackluster ability as he has as many free nukes as rhita can hold. Which is a lot even if its only one. There is no reason for rhitta to have more abilities.Escanor has the most lackluster treasure.
Probably because he doesn't really need one I suppose.
All it does is absorb his power, and store it for later use. Seems like a redundant function.
He showed with galan that he can basically be just as effective if we just gave him any old axe.
1. So either what we've seen is all rhita can do. Or hopefully there's more.
2. He can combine his current day power with the stored up power for stronger attacks. Which seems kind of redundant still but still a possibility I suppose.
3. Escanor is the only sin stronger without a weapon. Rhitta's real purpose is to nerf him during the late day -pre-noon stages of his cycle by constantly sucking out his magic power.

I think this is a bit of a stretch. As far as we have seen escanor does not have the least bit of a problem moving it. With that in mind I am not sure it really is that much of a drag on him. If the sword is not heavy for escanor then the guy is effectively swinging a 200 ton monstrosity (mel has lifted diane without that much trouble and diane should weight around 11 tons at least) at his targets which I would argue significantly boosts his offensive power.I think LifewireToriko assumes this because the axe is so heavy that if he were swinging any other ordinary weapon in comparison he would probably absolutely obliterate his opponents. This way it is at least a slight handicap for him.
