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

Why is the bold てやる used there? Isn’t it the same as てあげる (do something for
you)? I don’t understand why it is used after the passive form. I think
殴られる謂れはない is enough.

Understanding 殴られてやる
There is a discernable difference there, between 殴られる謂れはない and 殴られてやる謂れはない.

When you say 殴られる, you are making a statement matter-of-factly. When you say
殴られてやる, you are stating intent, making clear that your own **volition and
agency** are involved: you are **actively allowing** 殴られる to happen. Also やる
is crude あげる, serving to lifting the speaker's own position. 殴られてやる: I let you
beat me up as a favor. I will go easy on you.

  * 殴られる謂れはない  
There's no reason/it's unwarranted for me to get beat up.  
(Okay fine, but 1. maybe nobody wants to beat you up; 2. maybe it's not up to
you)

  * 殴られてやる謂れはない  
There's no reason/it's unwarranted for me to let people beat me up.  
(I am hereby announcing my own intention which is I won't allow myself to get
beat up and I will take action accordingly)

And that's why the character then says おれは手加減はしない (I'm not gonna go easy on
you/I'm not holding back/I'm not pulling any punches)

It's like in English how people say, "I'm not going to sit here and **have**
my name tarnished by detractors."

By the same token, 振られてやる means "I am going to **let** you (someone else)
break up with me." "I am **allowing** that to happen."
