Is that ever stated? I don't necessarily recall reading why or how it happened.

It wasn't because of the soul dragon he used was it? Those rods remained in his back after it went away I think they're still there during the pain arc. Idk.

Anyway, someone wanna explain?

Hanzo obliterated his legs & the soul dragon sucked a large portion of his vitality.

Hanzo set paper bomb traps at Nagato's legs when the latter went on that soul rip rampage, but Nagato managed to lessen the dmg to burns. His legs ended up atrophied though.

Soul dragon must've really messed him up, because asura path fixes his ability to walk without a problem.

That's why I think it's a combination of the two.

Plot.

He has a path that can grow mechanical limbs, Doesn't use it for walking

He has a path that allows him to Hover/Fly by controlling gravity, Doesn't use it for mobility

Can use Preta path to make himself healthy again, Never uses it in life.

Charlie Murphy beat his legs up for stepping on his brother's suede couch.

Or maybe a thing called Soul Dragon really does mess you up.
Like how Oro lost his hands to a soul sealing ability.

He also did spam a technique and Obito told you his hair turing white was because of him over using his abilities....

Because he decided to use The PAINs instead of building himself back up.
