Whenever you perform an action, brain activity ensues. When Kirito was paralyzed, he was basically trying to fight back against the system programming through will power alone, and after that his arm was cut - btw, you don't feel pain in SAO, his moaning when Kuradeel stabbed him was due to pure fear, as anyone should feel - and killing Kuradeel right after, well, to be honest, I would black out if he was me, and he's just a teenager.

I think some of the confusion folks experience may be from forgetting that Kirito isn't a person, he's a virtual avatar of a real life unnamed person trapped in a NERVgear helmet, playing a VR MMO. Within that framework things should make a lot more sense. MMO logic is useful, not required, but helpful for some of the mechanics that get bandied around in various episodes. |

That's not exactly convincing considering how several characters really uttered agony, instead of just being "poked". While Kirito being blown to the pillar previously could be interpretated as being startled, you surely have more pained expression and groan, than just "non painful sensation".

Now take that to a completely simulated word where your life ends at the game over screen. The level of immersion is off the charts, feeling pain would be a just bonus in that case. |

You probably feel some uncomfortable sensation though. If your life was literally your HP bar and you see it reducing like Godfrey, while at the same time you can't do anything about it, only people with great mental strength wouldn't utter a sound.

If you don't feel pain, wouldn't that mean you wouldn't feel sex either?
Sex generally isn't painful, of course, but it's based on physical sensation just like physical pain is. Kind of hard for me to see how one can work (sex) without the other (pain). I'm not saying that the "You don't feel pain" statement is incorrect, I'm just wondering how that jives with sex existing in the game.

@On topic: what I didn't like was they left out some important details about why Kuradeel join KoB that was explain in the LN but it was decent of how they handle the rest of the episode.

The fact that physical pain is negated, yet other feelings are not is perfectly in line with the fact that it's a video game. Which, at the core, is designed to be enjoyable and fun. Remember you aren't losing tactile sensations, our character's (most likely) can feel the sword in their hands, the ground under their feet, and while they probably feel a placeholder sensation for pain... it obviously isn't pain. But ultimately that answer, like everything else, is addressed in the LN's, but is simply setup as one of the 'setting' pieces in the Anime. |

I think Triple R's asking "how" not "why" which fits better in the Game Mechanics thread. But off my head, I think pain has a specific receptor in the brain. Simply don't send signals to that area and we can have no pain but still have others.

Pain is a separate sense from touch. Actually, humans have a lot of senses that we don't think of as senses, but become really noticeable when they stop working. It's interesting to read about cases of people who can't feel pain, etc. It's actually a big problem because they tend to accidentally chew off their own tongue and bleed to death... Luckily that's not a problem in a game.

For all we know, some players did try something unusual like cutting their arms in the beginning, possibly due to frustration and/or boredom. But stopped after realising that the money needed to heal it back just isn't worth it. Just saying.
But the sensations of pain and touch together is what makes physical contact complete. |

There are many MMORPG with skills that have weird requirements like that. For example. Quote:

Which brings us back to the question whether death in the game really means 'death'. It could as well mean that you are trapped until you die or someone wins the game and its just similar to Diablo's Hardcore Characters. or if they die they get ported to Plaxe X where the rest of the players can't enter and she was somehow allowed to shade into the PC world.
