At one point during both physical and
psychological tests being carried out on Number 6 during ‘Checkmate,’ results
showed that he had apparently showed a negative reaction to pain. The doctor
noted that that would take superhuman willpower! Well that’s all fine and
dandy, except for one thing. Because it appears that by the time of the next
episode ‘Hammer Into Anvil,’ Number 6 has lost the ability not to react to pain!
Number 6 undergoes an interview with Number 2, who eventually produces a sword
from his shooting stick. He puts the tip to Number 6’s forehead “Ah, you
react!” says Number 2. Well who wouldn’t? Formerly Number 6 would have shown a
negative reaction to pain. But it would seem that with a change of
scriptwriter, comes a change within Number 6, and a loss of continuity!
Be seeing you
#6 is clearly pretending to react as pained in order to deceive #2 into thinking he has the upper hand. This neatly leads #2 into being deceived by further actions of #6 in the same episode. No loss of continuity at all.
