1-Except Pyrrha had magnetism so she could recover her shield after throwing it. Jaune has no such thing. Throwing the shield would be stupid, and he's no Captain America to make it work.

2-Problem: The shield doesn't double as a sheath in it's Shield form. So he has no place where to store the sword when using both shields.

3-Read point 1. If he throws it, he has to retrieve it. Which is part of why throwing the shield would be stupid, regardless of whether he has another one or not. He could easily risk losing the shield if it ends up in a bad place.

4-This is the only option that could work, but, if he's going to use her shield that way, why bother having 2 shields? Just get some (more) armor to cover the back.

Using Pyrrha's shield by default is what I think he will do. But then, the previous shield becomes unnecesary: Pyrrha's is better in nearly-every way, and it's function as a sheath can be covered by an actual sheath (Which would actually be lighter too). 1. & 3. except Jaune doesn't need Pyrrha's sheild, he has 2 perfectly usable weapons, so why must he have a recovery method?

2. If he uses Pyrrha's shield, he'll likely need a magnetic sheath to hold it. I suspect it could double up as an extra sheath.

4. Is the standard set-up I feel he would use both for. As for why keep his current shield... as a back-up. Pyrrha almost never held her shield long, so I can't imagine it would be a 100% straight upgrade... it was designed to use with a spear and be thrown, and the rifle function of her weapon made it even better, Jaune has neither.
