INdra did it as a sort of test to see if they could fight without the use of their Longinus as they had beenbested even when they had them and given that Indra was readying for war with the evil of his group he need them to be in top form so if they couldnt get back to him with out using the longinus then they didnt have what it takes to fight the war that was coming. THen the Rizevim has the ability to stop the abilities of the longinuses meaningthat he can stop them from killing their host when they are taken as well.
