Why Pain did need to revive his paths?

[spidercraker]

Ebisu said Pain can't feel any pain, then why Pain did need to revive his paths when they don't feel any pain? Well there's an exception to Asura Pain (Pain with mechanical stuff and rockets), he got destroyed when someone able to hit him and he needs to revive in order to fix him.

When Animal Pain got hit by rasengan, she should able to stand since she was controlled by Nagato.

They can still die Lol

Come back when

Pain = Dying

 

[Flakez]

Because those are human bodies, that eventually get damaged.

 

[Gerkak]

Because they can't function properly when damaged. So he has to repair them using the king of hell

Plot restriction .​

I know they can be damaged but the things they should able to stand up since Nagato controls them.

Example. Someone stabs them on the heart or stomach, they should able to stand since they are already dead.

I can understand if Pains' head, arms or legs are cut off, they need to be fixed.

Because Kishi. Nagato controls the paths, by giving them chakra, so he should have been able to use the paths, until he had chakra. Kishi trolled Nagato.

Haha I never thought of this. Maybe the chakra rods through which Nagato controlled them would become damaged, and, along with their ****ed-up bodies (their bodies need to be at least "healthy" for Nagato's chakra to flow properly through them), they became useless, or "dead".

Doesn't explain why the King of Hell would be able to help, though, since they're technically not being revived as there are no souls involved.

 

[Jnaru]

The correct word would b repaired rather than revived

Its because after suffering a certain amount of damage, the path became unable to function properly. They all might have been dead, but Nagato had essentially allotted each of them a certain amount of stamina to function with. Once that stamina was exhausted, the link he had with them broke and he would need to replenish the stamina with the King of Hell, something he couldn't do himself. Its obvious that he was unable to bypass the stamina limit by merely pumping more chakra into them (as you're suggesting). You can call it plot but its just how Kishi made the jutsu work.
