In the chapter 399-400 from Fairy Tail manga, Erza is fighting Kyouka to stop
faces's activation.

During this fight, Kyouka used her curse to increase Erza's sensitivity to
pain.

After this curse, she used another one to remove all Erza's five senses. But
Erza continued to fight.

One of the five senses is **tactile perception**. Without it, she should not
be able to feel anything, including pain. Shouldn't it make Kyouka's first
curse useless?

But somehow Erza continued feeling a lot of pain and suffering a lot.

How can she feel this amplified pain since all her senses were stolen?

question
fairy-tail
Why is Erza able to feel pain during Kyouka's fight?


According to [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sense#Non-
traditional_senses), pain **isn't** one of the _traditional senses_. It's
marked under _non-traditional senses_.

I think that's the reason pain is NOT stolen together with tactile perception
(well, I thought, before I looked deeper, pain is connected to the _touch_
sense, but it seems not).

Traditional senses:

  1. Sight
  2. Hearing
  3. Taste
  4. Smell
  5. Touch

These are 5 base senses (for more info, view [this
article](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_wits#The_.22outward.22_wits)). As
you can see, _pain_ **is not** listed. But there are others like:

  1. Balance and acceleration
  2. Temperature
  3. Kinesthetic sense
  4. **Pain**
  5. Other internal senses

As you write,

> she can curse to increase Erza's sensitivity to pain

but then

> she remove all 5 senses from her in **other curse**.

Pain is not a base sense.
