Toji Fushiguro comes back during the Shibuya Incident arc through a cursed technique séance, not normal resurrection.

Quick Scoop

  • A curse user called Granny Ogami uses her inherited technique, often referred to as Seance , to bring Toji back.
  • Her technique lets her transform a participant into a deceased person using that person’s information (like a “data-based” possession).
  • In Shibuya, she uses a living vessel and overlays Toji’s “information” onto it, which effectively reconstructs Toji’s body and abilities on the battlefield.

Why it worked so well

  • Normally, the séance is limited: the user only gets the target’s body and skills , not their personality or will.
  • With Toji, his overwhelming physical prowess and instincts override the usual limits, and he regains his own will, essentially “breaking” the technique and fully manifesting.
  • That’s why he acts like his true self, fights on his own terms, and isn’t just a puppet under Ogami’s control.

Role in the arc

  • Toji’s comeback is used to:
    • Raise the stakes in the Shibuya Incident with a terrifying wild-card fighter.
* Deliver a brutal showcase of his “Sorcerer Killer” power against high-level opponents.

* Create a dramatic, emotional encounter when he crosses paths with Megumi on the battlefield.

Is he “truly” alive?

  • His return is more like a cursed-tech reincarnation/manifestation than a standard revival.
  • Once the séance and its conditions end, that state cannot continue, which is why his comeback is intense but temporary.

In fandom and forums, this whole sequence is often described as “Toji broke the séance and forced his way back,” which matches how overwhelmingly he overrides Ogami’s technique.

TL;DR: Toji came back because Granny Ogami used her séance technique on a host body, but Toji’s sheer power and instincts let him reclaim his own will and rampage through Shibuya until the technique’s limits caught up.
