I've had a theory for a while that Blackbeard feels so much pain every time he's hit due to a side effect of his (first) Devil Fruit power. The darkness he creates and manipulates functions like a black hole, so he's probably pulling in attacks with greater strength or something like that. I don't know how to explain it properly before having coffee lol

Also pretty sure that he's going to end up killing Urouge at some point and adding his power to his own, since Urouge is able to convert physical pain into greater strength. It seems like a natural way for Blackbeard to turn his greatest weakness into just another advantage, and become an even bigger threat when he ultimately faces off against Luffy.
