It's starving, because you are relying too much on nature in a non-natural setting.
.
With some of the unorthodox ideas that you've floated, it's really hard to tell why your plant is in that state.  Like I told you before, worm castings alone are are not going to be enough to feed a plant very long. You have to really keep up on your plant maintenance when you go the organic route.
.
Why don't you tell us what you are (or not) feeding that poor creature?
.
At first glance, your plant has some interveinal chlorosis starting to appear on some of the older leaves, but not the younger ones.  And these yellow spots look to have happened rather suddenly.

This.
There's nothing wrong with going the organic route, but you need to be on it's ass when something is wrong. Worm castings definitely aren't enough to upkeep an entire plant it's whole life. What is your fertilization technique, how much and what kind of light does it get, and how often are you watering? What are they planted in, growing medium wise. 
 
this aji mango was planted in my test area, mini pepper forrest.   there are many pepper varieties and basil in the same area.  20cm x 20cm per plant.  
i put a lot of purple mangosteen shell at the lowest bottom. green vegetable leaf and  a lot of fruit with yellow color.  then i put clay soil and 10 thousand of live red worm.
 
no feeding.  water once a week with tap water + EM1.   all other plants nearby are very healthy, except this one.  
 
 
Woo hoo... my aji mango is setting fruit now.   i did solve the problem by doing nothing.  
no doubt! pepper plant is really easy to grow.

Your leaves are showing the early signs of a deficiency.   You really should watch that close...
 
macro nutrient deficiency? i'm really lazy now. i will let earthworm do its job.

I wouldn't want to try to say exactly what type.  But your leaves are beginning to yellow, and show signs of chlorosis.  Once your plant starts to really kick up production, it will become more pronounced.
