ライデン hits シン for some reason, and シン hits back.

Why can てやる be used after the passive form? I think 殴られる謂れはない is enough. Also, what is the difference between 殴らせてやる and 殴られてやる?
I was told 殴られてやる means "I let you beat me up as a favor. I will go easy on you". And I know させてやる can also mean "I let you do something".

よろしくお願いします。
 
While ~させてやる is for approval/permission to the agent, ~られてやる focuses more on the subject's/speaker's will, so it's closer to 殴られたままでいる in nuance in your example.
 
Thank you. So why do we need てやる in that sentence? Can't we just say 殴られる謂れはない? てやる is てあげる, meaning you do something for others actively. So I think it's weird to use てやる after passive form. Could you explain this phenomenon?
 
しぶしぶ~てやる
しょうがないから~てやる
Have you never seen these expressions? Do you think the subject/speaker do the action actively in these examples?

Plus, it is possible to accept/allow others do something to you actively.
e.g.
右の頬を殴られた後、自ら差し出して左の頬も殴られてやった。
王子は、虎の子供たちを救うため、自ら進んで母虎に食べられてやった。

~てやる is not always the same as ~てあげる. There are cases where ~てあげる doesn't work well.
e.g.
絶対勝ってやる!
いつか大金持ちになってやる!
