Immortality Hurts	comment	Immortality seems to be one of those things that needs a bunch of Required Secondary Powers not to become a curse. If you don't have some kind of healing factor or resistance to injury, you have an eternity's worth of opportunities to get horribly maimed, and if anyone else finds out that you're immortal, they won't think twice about putting you through things that would (painfully) kill an ordinary human being, again and again and again. If you do somehow manage to avoid getting horribly mutilated, escaping the ravages of timwe is another matter entirely. If you have immortality with youth, there's still plenty of things the Universe can throw at you to make you suffer horrific agony across the vast ocean that is time and space, such as being incinerated inside a star, spaghettified by Black Holes, reduced to plasma by a gamma ray burst, crushed or dissolved into a seething paste by the atmospheres of hostile worlds, and so on and so forth. Even if you do get a fully effective healing factor with your immortality, the fact that all the injuries listed above will heal back doesn't make them any less painful when they happen. This trope is about what happens when the vaunted promise of immortality backfires in painful fashion. This can range from surviving experiences that aren't meant to be lived through all the way up to cases where something that would ordinarily be decisively fatal instead leaves the victim alive, conscious, and utterly beyond help or hope. Sometimes this is inflicted on someone deliberately as a punishment; of course, this rarely works out as planned. A subtrope of Who Wants to Live Forever?. Often comes with Healing Factor to ensure Good Thing You Can Heal comes into play. Compare Age Without Youth, where immortality doesn't cover aging, and Wound That Will Not Heal, where any pain inflicted becomes permanent. If none of these things are a problem, then Living Forever Is Awesome. Examples

Immortality Hurts / int_11b7db91	comment	At the beginning of "Marceline the Vampire Queen", the episode which opens the Stakes arc of Adventure Time, we have the titular character stuck in the shade of a tree while her umbrella is just out of reach, under the sun. She tries to retrieve it, reasoning that one second of exposure to sunlight should mean nothing for someone who is eternal. She comes to a harrowing conclusion quite fast:

Immortality Hurts / int_39c20861	comment	Highlander: An immortal Nazi got chained up and dumped in a river for 60-odd years, coming to life and drowning every few minutes. When he finally gets out, he's a bit peeved. Another adversary was left on a deserted island. After eating everything on it, he starved to death. Then came back. And starved to death again... There was also an immortal who was one of Cleopatra's attendants, and ended up entombed for 2000 years. The likelihood that she repeatedly revived and then died again of asphyxiation in the sealed tomb isn't brought up in the episode, but it would explain her insanity when she got out. Killian, after committing war crimes during WWI, is locked away, and after a few years, completely forgotten. The tribunal who sentenced him were initially going to execute him, but Duncan, the only witness, wanting to keep him from wandering off after his execution, argued he was insane, and thus deserved 'mercy' and life imprisonment instead. (Screw the Masquerade, apparently.) 80 years later, when he eventually gets out, he decides to return the favour. Another immortal blames Duncan for leaving him to be burned at the stake. He then proceeds to graphically describe the feeling of his skin and organs burning and regrowing.

Immortality Hurts / int_59623bb9	comment	Zeno from Yona of the Dawn has an interesting variation: he can survive getting his head or arms chopped off, as his body will simply come back together; and when he heals his body becomes covered in scales as hard as steel, giving his attacks much more strength. This makes him a veritable One-Man Army... but, of course, this is only after getting injured. Beforehand, he's a short, thin, physically weak 17-year-old boy, which means that fighting anyone essentially requires him to suffer through what would kill a normal person multiple times. By the time his power is revealed in-series, he seems more or less desensitized to it, though he's clearly in a lot of pain, but his backstory arc shows him to have been terrified of the prospect.

Unfortunately, when the Exalted rose against them, the Primordials found out the hard way that being unable to die didn't quite prevent the Exalted from killing them, it just meant that they couldn't die once killed. This paradox broke the cycle of life and death, creating undeath and the Underwold and leaving the killed Primordials trapped halfway between death and life as the Neverborn.

Immortality Hurts / int_5ff059fa	comment	Inverted in The Wolverine. When he was immortal, Wolverine's wounds healed quicker and so the pain faded faster. When he loses his healing factor, the wounds and their pain linger. Quietly played straight in the first X-Men film, when Rogue asks Logan whether it hurts when his trademark blades emerge fron his hands. After a slight hesitation, he states simply, "Every time." Logan: thanks to his advanced age and possible metal poisoning from his Adamantium-reinforced skeleton, his healing factor isn't what it used to be, and as a result, he is covered in scars and open wounds (which apparently get infected on a regular basis), is visibly stiff and arthritic, has vision and hearing issues, and intermittently has his claws get stuck halfway, which requires him to pull them the rest of the way out and visibly causes incredible pain. It's also caused his drinking to go from heavy but reasonably well-managed to absolutely out of control, and he is frequently visibly drunk or hungover due to his metabolism slowing down. The years have not been kind to the man.

They locked up the convicted person inside a sarcophagus with a fierce alien wild beast. In that way, the goa'uld was condemned to fight eternally against the animal since their respective injuries were constantly healed by the machine they were trapped in. Teal'c was tortured to death and resurrected with a sarcophagus successively by a Jaffa who wanted to extort from him a filmed admission that Goa'uld are true gods.

Immortality Hurts / int_64776522	comment	Nessiah of Yggdra Union, Yggdra Unison, and Blaze Union is relatively blase about simply dying—he's been through it so many times that he's gotten used to the pain, and in Yggdra Union and Blaze Union, he dies slowly and painfully several times onscreen, mostly from being skewered or badly beaten. He is extremely not blase about the fact that his real body is slowly beginning to rot. One of Blaze Union's endings has him lose his ability to manifest separately, thus confining him to that decaying body forever. The game tries not to draw too much attention to this. Wonder why.

The process is agonizing to the body and every reincarnation damages the Fused's mind, to the point that many of them are now babbling lunatics. As Rhythm of War reveals, this is also how you "kill" spren. Without anti-Light or Nightblood, you can't truly kill spren. But you can cut or stab or bash them, and this will cause them pain. So "killing" a spren usually involves stabbing it so many times that its mind breaks from the pain and it goes catatonic.

The Dark Hand is in possession of all 12 talismans, have split them up equally between the four of them, and are using them to wreak havoc. Finn notices that he has both the Dog and Horse talismans, which grant immortality and healing respectively. Considering this redundant, he trades the Horse to Ratso for the Pig (Eye Beams). This later comes back to bite him in the ass when he slams into a rock wall at 60 miles an hour, and he learns that while the Dog might prevent him from dying, it most certainly does not prevent him from being injured or feeling pain.

Thanks to a very interesting accident in a monastery devoted to extraplanar travel via meditation, the cult's founder got an astral parasite stuck inside him. The plus side is, the parasite's waste byproducts induced a state of immortality with associated Healing Factor. The minus side is, the parasites are active, writhing, and given to reproduce quickly, putting their hosts in excruciating pain. To even be able to function while infested requires large amounts of opioids... and between that and magic that allows for extradimensional travel, the cult has managed to become a powerful player in drug smuggling.

Between this and the fact that a lot of the series depicts the Nations interacting in battle (most notably World War II), many fanfictions show the Nations suffering diseases and injuries that could kill a normal person, only for them to manage to survive. Awakening has an incredibly disturbing variation. The initial experiments Josef Mengele performs on America and Canada (infection with tuberculosis and vivisection and injection of dye into the eyes respectively) don't kill them, but do leave them in immense pain. Injecting chemicals directly into their hearts is the closest to killing them he manages. They show all the signs of being dead (no pulse, no breathing, etc.) but come back to life once their hearts are restarted. For a fanfiction that has this happen in a non-war setting Trials has Canada Buried Alive by a serial killer and forced to repeatedly come back to life, only to asphyxiate over and over.

Some of his enemies really enjoy killing him, in which case this ends up happening every few minutes or so. In "Children of Earth", we get to see him come back from being blown to smithereens — and it's not pleasant. His body literally grows back layer by layer, and he regains consciousness as soon as his organs are working, but before his skin is fully done healing. He does a lot of screaming that season. In "Miracle Day", all humans get to experience this, in majestically graphic detail. Hence the profits of PhiCorps skyrocketing when their highly-effective painkillers begin selling like hotcakes. Doctor Who: Time Lords can regenerate into a new form if their current body gives out from injury or old age. Unfortunately, it's almost always a Painful Transformation, and the aftermath can involve a host of side-effects as they struggle to rebuild their identity. note That said, most on-screen regenerations have been those of renegade Time Lords, perhaps giving us a distorted picture; the sole regeneration seen on Gallifrey as of Series 10 apparently went smoothly. The fact that the Doctor's regenerations generally take place in traumatic, world-threatening circumstances can't help. While Time Lords have absurdly long lives, they note in the original series that they consider true immortality to be a curse, so much so that they use it as a punishment at one point.

He was beaten when Joseph desperately held out the Red Stone, amplifying Kars' Hamon powers, inducing the volcano they were standing on to erupt violently enough to blast Kars into space. Drifting through the cosmos, unable to breathe or alter his course, he eventually stopped thinking at all. Golden Wind: As a result of being affected by Gold Experience Requiem's Return to Zero ability, Diavolo ends up trapped in a Resurrection/Death Loop where they end up finding themself on the verge of death, feeling the excruciating pain that comes with dying, before being instantly resurrected and being placed in a new scenario for death. As Giorno Giovanna points out, they'll never end up reaching the final moment of their death, but they'll always feel the pain of it for all eternity.

Immortality Hurts / int_b0666b59	comment	Part of the Neverwinter Nights mod Shadowlords 5 took place in a town where nobody died, ever. One of the sidequests involved a woman who was buried alive in a trunk by a guy with an "If I can't have you, nobody can" attitude, while a minor encounter involved killing a bear which had been attacking another woman over and over again. If questioned about it afterwards, she shared the story of how she was once pinned down by a pack of ravenous wolves and it took a week for them to eat enough of her legs to become full.

Unfortunately, it's almost always a Painful Transformation, and the aftermath can involve a host of side-effects as they struggle to rebuild their identity. note That said, most on-screen regenerations have been those of renegade Time Lords, perhaps giving us a distorted picture; the sole regeneration seen on Gallifrey as of Series 10 apparently went smoothly. The fact that the Doctor's regenerations generally take place in traumatic, world-threatening circumstances can't help. While Time Lords have absurdly long lives, they note in the original series that they consider true immortality to be a curse, so much so that they use it as a punishment at one point.

He was tortured by another immortal that he had deeply trusted for at least one hundred years under the pretenses of "testing the limits of immortality". Understandably, at his first opportunity he cut his right hand free to devour his torturer (the only way to kill an immortal, performed by placing your right hand on their head and thinking you want to eat). As if that wasn't enough, devouring absorbs memories, so he has memories of doing all that to himself for a century, along with the knowledge that it was done purely out of sadism.

He can often be rather blase about a painful death (killing himself with poison to get a test result without the three week wait for example), but when he's faced with the possibility of having to go through being dissected again, he starts panicking and packing his bags immediately. Adam reveals that he once did undergo constant dissection and torture under the scalpel of the infamous Dr. Mengele in Auschwitz, who was trying to figure out the secret to immortality. The last episode has Henry deal with Adam by giving him a brain embolism, paralyzing him and keeping him on perpetual life support. While dying would fix the problem, Henry has no intention of letting that happen.

Unfortunately, he has this habit of trying to send his enemies through the Dead Zone when he's pissed off instead of just killing them. Naturally, this typically ends in him getting knocked into his own void courtesy of Gohan. Immortality... truly a Fate Worse than Death. This trope is why Frieza gives up on being an Immortality Seeker in Dragon Ball Super: Broly — trapped in his Ironic Hell, Frieza realizes that gaining immortality means being in a state where he is incapacitated and unable to recover.

First, it doesn't prevent the wielder from aging, and will in fact prevent a natural death. Second, it will only prevent the wielder from dying.

Immortality Hurts / int_d7c4626a	comment	In The Sandman (1989), the immortal Hob Gadling once comments on how it feels to starve when you are unable to die. Although when promptly offered the chance to renounce his immortality, he turns it down, as he has so much to live for. Being immortal, he always has the chance to improve his lot (and indeed, the next time he meets his benefactor, he's pulled himself into high society). The whole point of his first story (besides its reflection on Morpheus's character) is to subvert the Hell out of this trope because, for all its suffering, life is worth living and certainly preferable than the alternative. It's a bit weird in a comic where Death is so nice, but it works very nicely, especially with Gadling's later appearances. Cain and Abel. Abel is the first victim, and so he has to spend eternity reliving his story by having Cain repeatedly murder him on a daily basis, sometimes in rather horrid ways. Cain is the first murderer, and so he has to spend eternity reliving his story by murdering his brother on a daily basis. Their family dynamic is a little disturbed.

Jessica discovers a nasty side effect of regeneration. She's a virgin when she gets turned, has sex for the first time in her vampire form, and then discovers that her hymen grows back. After each time. Forever.note In later episodes, Jessica's constant virginity is never mentioned. She's shown to be enjoying sex very much. Apparently, she's gotten used to the pain. Or, alternatively, she's learned that hymen doesn't have to be broken to have sex (it's not a membrane). Russell Edgington experiences the punishment kind; buried alive in concrete while tied up in silver (silver immobilizes vampires and hurts them badly). Also in Bill's trial we learn that the punishment for killing another vampire is to be buried alive in a silver coffin for years.

However, to even get to it, one must first undergo an excruciating molecular scan in order to get the person's body template into the aTan databanks for future replication. The pain is so great that a certain percentage of new clients quit partway through and walk out, refusing immortality. Despite decades of study, aTan researchers are no closer to making the process less painful. Additionally, anyone who dies and is brought back remembers everything up to the moment of death, including the circumstances, which can be quite traumatic for some types of violent death. Every aTan facility employs a "thanatologist", a counselor specializing in helping people come back from death. For example, Kay's first death in the book is from an Agony Beam weapon coupled with him being covered in razor-sharp fix-spray (he cut his own body to pieces by jerking and spasming from the induced pain).

Immortality Hurts / int_f8956ef3	comment	In YuYu Hakusho, Kurama traps Elder Toguro in a plant which gives its victims visions of their worst fears while slowly draining the life out of them. Unfortunately for Elder Toguro, his regenerative capabilities surpass the draining capabilities of the plant, so he'll forever live his nightmare of being unable to kill Kurama.

Immortality Hurts / int_fb57d4f2	comment	Is This A Zombie? has this as an important factor for both the main character and Kyouko. While a zombie, Ayumu can still feel any injury he suffers, his non-Magical Girl power attacks break his body painfully, and he painfully dries out in the sun. Kyouko has stolen dozens of lives and so isn't afraid to die or be horribly maimed in combat, though she does still suffer pain. Perhaps the most clear example of this was when Ayumu used his chainsaw to kill a downed Kyouko repeatedly while she was incapacitated, complete with constant screams of pain. And she was still alive and terrified afterward.

Immortality Hurts / int_fc1ccc3	comment	In the first Wishmaster film, the heroine wishes for the evil djinn to blow his own brains out. He promptly pulls out a revolver and does so. The Djinn quickly heals from this and informs her that he's immortal but adds that it "hurt like hell!"

At the end of the film, they're both shattered to pieces but still alive, as the immortality method does nothing about preserving the physical body, just prevents their souls from leaving it.

Shinnok is still alive in this state and in obvious agony. He can't even scream in pain since he doesn't have lungs.
