Came Back Strong	comment	The Hero is fighting The Dragon, or the Big Bad, and finds out they're hopelessly outmatched. The villain decides to go ahead and kill them off, and it's over. The hero is dead. ...or are they? Perhaps they were Only Mostly Dead or Death Is Cheap. Maybe The Medic was able to bring them back. Either way, they start to fight again and reveal that thanks to their defeat, they Took a Level in Badass and may have access to powers they never had before. Congratulations, the hero just Came Back Strong. It's not a Desperation Attack or Heroic Resolve, but a permanent increase in one's Power Level. It could be that dying has opened their mind to new possibilities; they literally trained in hell; they were granted access to new spirit powers; a MacGuffin is used to help them return and they gain special abilities from it (often temporarily); the process that was used to revive them either healed a Game-Breaking Injury that restrained their power or gave them a new body better than the old one; they struck a Bargain with Heaven or a Deal with the Devil in the Afterlife Antechamber (or a bereaved relative or lover made one on his behalf); or maybe their race just makes them stronger from death. Villains do this a lot too, of course. Many are the heroes who have watched their nemeses perish, only to later find their foes risen from the depths of Hell with greater power than ever before. Contrast Came Back Wrong and Resurrection Sickness (although, on some occasions this Trope is not mutually exclusive with those). Compare Heroic Second Wind, which is similar to this without the nasty implications of death. Death-Activated Superpower is a subtrope. We Can Rebuild Him is a counterpart specifically concerning science and cybernetics. As a Death Trope (or rather a reversion of it), many spoilers will be unmarked ahead. Beware.

Came Back Strong / int_10b03dcf	comment	Scarecrow was a minor threat in Batman: Arkham Asylum, where his last scene was him nearly being mauled to death by Killer Croc. Unseen, he leaves hints at his survival throughout Batman: Arkham City, and that he plans to return for revenge on Batman who he blames for the attack. He does so with a vengeance as the Big Bad of Batman: Arkham Knight where he has stitched his own face back together, dropped his Large Ham persona for a Cold Ham Soft-Spoken Sadist one (with a strong, new dose of Magnificent Bastard to go with it), unites the villains of Gotham under his banner, unleashes destruction that not even The Joker could match, and ends up being the single most dangerous enemy that Batman has ever faced. In the process, he does what no villain in literally any piece of media has ever done: unmasks Batman in front of the world.

Came Back Strong / int_1a4b3ea2	comment	Digimon: In Digimon Adventure and Digimon Adventure 02, every time Myotismon is killed, he simply comes back in a more powerful form sooner or later. In Adventure, he's killed by a powered up Celestial Arrow from Angewomon, but his bat familiars gather the data of his remaining minions to resurrect him as VenomMyotismon, who's notable as the first Mega Level Digimon in the anime's run. Unfortunately, while he was indeed stronger and far bigger, his intelligence took a hit and he reduced himself to a mindless, albeit resilient brute. Even still, it took everything the DigiDestined had to bring him down, even after WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon debuted. In Adventure 02, his ghost stuck around in the real world and possessed Yukio Oikawa until they entered a world where dreams become reality. Now powered by several despair-filled children, Myotismon is able to revive himself as MaloMyotismon who's not only stronger than VenomMyotismon, but has a far more varied move pool (up to and including a Lotus-Eater Machine attack) and retains Myotismon's former intelligence on top of that. He's ultimately defeated via Rasputinian Death mixed with Talking the Monster to Death, which cuts him off from his power source and ends with his soul being destroyed by Imperialdramon Fighter Mode while powered up by every single Digivice, finally rendering him Deader than Dead (hopefully; the Digital World's Cosmic Retcon in Digimon Adventure tri. reopens the possibility of his return). Etemon in the first series was swallowed up by a black hole caused when he and MetalGreymon first fought, and was apparently given a Disney Villain Death. However, he shows up in the Dark Masters Arc having digivolved into MetalEtemon, who's far stronger and invulnerable to most attacks thanks to his Chrome Digizoid armor. He puts up an even fight with the Dark Master Puppetmon and manages to mortally wound SaberLeomon, both of whom are fellow Megas, and he's only defeated through sheer coincidence (Zudomon's hammer is made out of the same substance, which allows him to crack MetalEtemon's armor just enough that he can be struck down). In Digimon Adventure: (2020), this happens to Millenniumon. The forces of darkness used ZeedMillenniumon as an ultimate weapon in an ancient war. While uncontrollable and able to cause widespread devastation, it was defeated by the past selves of the Chosen Children's Digimon. In the present, its minions have fed it so much data that even as base-form Millenniumon, it can wreck entire landscapes. This is to say nothing of the apocalyptic destruction ZeedMillenniumon can now cause with casual ease. Whereas past ZeedMillenniummon was defeated a lot more easily, present ZeedMillenniummon was defeated by WarGreymon's Terra Force, further powered up by the entire Digital World as a deliberate nod to the Spirit Bomb. An earlier example from Adventure: (2020) is the reboot's iteration of Devimon, who underwent a massive amount of Adaptational Badassery compared to his first outing. In his base form, he was able to take on MetalGreymon and WereGarurumon by himself, and was even harder to take down after digivolving into NeoDevimon. After that form defeated, a MoonMillenniummon shard is used to revive NeoDevimon as DoneDevimon, who almost kills Taichi and causes MetalGreymon to dark-digivolve into an incomplete Machinedramon, whom DoneDevimon still manages to curb-stomp. It takes Tokomon talking him down so he can briefly take on the form of WarGreymon, which is what finally does him in.

Came Back Strong / int_1b021fcb	comment	Tokyo Ghoul plays with this trope. Ken Kaneki emerges from each brush with death more powerful than before, essentially being reborn in a stronger form. The series begins with him barely surviving a Ghoul attack, and ending up transformed from a normal human into a Half-Human Hybrid. Some time later, he is tortured for over a week and kept in a near-death state until he begins to hallucinate and ends up symbolically killing his humanity, devouring the symbolized form of his Ghoul half and emerging with his powers fully awakened — with a new Red Right Hand including white hair to fully symbolize his transformation. His quest to become more powerful eventually leads to a third "death", as the insane Kakuja "Centipede", a state he describes as devouring himself and dying. At the finale, he is again left in a near-death state after his battle with Arima. In the sequel, he is revealed to have become Amnesiac Hero Haise Sasaki and is shown to have gotten even stronger as a result. In the sequel, former Plucky Comic Relief Seidou Takizawa combines this with Came Back Wrong. Revealed to have survived being Fed to the Beast through the same Emergency Transformation that Kaneki once endured, he returns as an incredibly powerful (and deranged) Half-Human Hybrid. He quickly establishes himself as a major threat, slaughtering his way through every Investigator in his path.

Came Back Strong / int_1cc09117	comment	In Bleach, the straightest example would be Ichigo's near death, or Hollow, transformation to regain his spirit powers. The normal example of dying and becoming a shinigami or a Hollow does not work because you never come back to life, you stay dead. Ichigo's Hollow form is a unique example. Whenever Ichigo is Only Mostly Dead or outclassed and exhausted, it tends to take advantage of his weakness by taking control of his body. After Ulquiorra blasts a hole straight through Ichigo's chest, the Hollow's powers go completely insane (seemingly neither Ichigo nor his Inner Hollow, which while vicious is also quite coherent, is in control, and instead their combined powers form a being of pure instinct), and tears apart Ulquiorra and nearly kills Ishida. It also tanks everything thrown at it and is only stopped by a combination of Ulquiorra attacking it while was distracted trying to fire off a Cero and the Cero in question exploding in its face as a consequence. This is explicitly Gerard Valkyrie's power, dubbed "The Miracle". His opponents find out to their sorrow that every time they kill him, he simply just revives himself bigger and stronger than before. The person to finally land the killing blow is his own Bad Boss, who has the ability to steal powers from his underlings.

Came Back Strong / int_1cc8e29f	comment	Destiny: The Guardians themselves. Every one of them was resurrected from death, albeit with no memory of their past lives, and granted super powers which include never aging and Resurrective Immortality. The rulers of the Hive — Oryx the Taken King, SavathÃ»n the Witch-Queen, and Xivu Arath the God of War — have also done this. Due to their Ascendant nature, they can't be permanently killed outside of their throne-worlds, and they get stronger the more they kill and the more tribute they receive from their underlings. Taniks the Scarred, a Fallen mercenary renowned for his cruelty. In the backstory, he's been hunted down and "killed" multiple times, but survives and replaces parts of his body with cybernetics, until he's more machine than organic. Players first face him as a strike boss in House of Wolves, but he later returns in Rise of Iron when the Devil Splicers use SIVA nanotechnology to resurrect him as "Taniks Perfected," only to be killed again. In Destiny 2: Shadowkeep, the Pyramids conjure him up as a Nightmare to be hunted, and also as a final boss for the Altars of Sorrow public events. Then, in Beyond Light, the House of Salvation take his body into the Deep Stone Crypt, where he's revived again. Within moments of being revived, Taniks spots your Guardian — the one who killed him twice — and flies into a screaming rage. Through the rest of the Deep Stone Crypt raid, Taniks is completely immune to damage until after the Morning Star station crashes into Europa, which he still survives by grafting his body onto a Heavy Shank frame, becoming Taniks the Abomination, the final boss of the raid. After defeating him here, his head is taken as a trophy by the Guardian, so perhaps this death will finally keep.

While doing so, Harry eats the Nightmare in his dreams and thus absorbs his magical power, allowing him to come back with so much strength that he vaporizes a pair of vampires almost instantly with no effort.

Each revival not only makes him stronger, but it also comes faster, from taking weeks between resurrections to taking seconds. Haruto, quickly running out of ways to kill Phoenix, makes a Sealed Evil in a Can out of him by kicking him into the sun. Haruto himself later suffers the death of his Dragon Inner Phantom, destroying his ability to use magic, but his Heroic Willpower soon enough revives Dragon and grants him a new Super Mode to dispatch the villain that did it.

Such is the impact on the multitude of mutants who desperately want their powers back that the rite of the Crucible is created to keep them from cluttering up the backlog of resurrections from mutants who were killed off too much. After Moira MacTaggert had been zapped with the mutant neutralizer, she also had her arm cut off and her body infested with bio-engineered cancer. Dying, she was able to hold out long enough to force at gunpoint a genius inventor Tech Bro to help her build a powerful robotic body to do a Brain Upload into it just before she died.

During the time of the previous series, Hiroto was forced to kill his best EL-Diver friend, Eve, after she absorbed too much of the "Sarah factors" accidentally created. However, as Eve as data, part of that data was used in the creation of another EL-Diver, May, who proves to be a major Action Girl. So, in a way, Eve uses this trope as May.

When Durnik, (aka 'The Man with Two Lives'), was killed by Zedar, the Gods conferred and agreed unanimously to allow his resurrection by Belgarion, Errand and the Orb at Polgara's pleading. He went from being an ordinary man to being an immortal Sorcerer later proven capable of slam-dunking a DEMON LORD singlehandedly. Earlier in the series, Belgarion brings back a colt that died immediately after birth. The horse the colt grows into is supernaturally strong, able to translocate, apparently highly intelligent (well, for a horse, anyway), and quite probably immortal. Fitting, as he turns out to be fated to be the horse of a god. Belgareth and Polgara conclude that the only reason that Belgarion succeeded in resurrecting it was that he didn't know it was impossible. Well, that and doing it in a cave the Gods had used as a meeting place before they left the world.

Came Back Strong / int_30a5ebfd	comment	Naruto: Zig-Zagged with anyone brought back through Edo Tensei / Reanimation, since the zombies it creates can regenerate from ash and have unlimited stamina. Too bad you still have to follow the summoner's orders unless you're Itachi or Madara. The stand-out example would be (the REAL) Madara. He's physically in his prime but has all the modifications he could only make after he was too decrepit to show them off, and doesn't have to worry about little things like being bisected. However, it's mentioned that the zombies can be weaker than their living selves as a result of the summoner's own lack of mastery of the jutsu and/or the quality of the bodies used as a sacrifice. The First and Second Hokages revived by Orochimaru were brought back nowhere near their true power when they fought the elderly Third Hokage. Kabuto mastering and perfecting the jutsu mostly fixed this, while Orochimaru possessing a White Zetsu and using other White Zetsus as shells for the four Hokages' spirits allows them to use much more of their true power, particularly Hashirama since the White Zetsus were technically created using his cells. Surprisingly, Madara came back even stronger after being truly resurrected through Rinne Tensei. Apparently, having a real body gives him access to techniques enough to curb-stomp the 9 bijuus, Naruto, Sasuke, and Tobirama altogether. The aforementioned curb-stomp resulted in Naruto and Sasuke having a near-death experience. They came back, with Rikudo Sennin's powers, namely Rikudo Senjutsu and Rinnegan, power-ups enough to match the now Jichuuriki Madara.

They barely survive and gain the ability to use alchemy without circles, and Al is also a Made of Indestructium Animated Armor. Overlaps with Blessed with Suck, since Ed lost a leg and an arm in the process, and Al loses his entire body, and cannot eat, sleep, or experience any senses aside from seeing and hearing. Oh, and binding a soul to an inanimate object is inherently unstable, so Al has an unspecified but finite amount of time for the brothers to figure out a way to get his body back. Earlier, their father had his body replaced by a Philosopher's Stone containing over 500,000 souls, granting him near-immortality. This is actually what leads to him disappearing — he's very happy that he's survived long enough to meet his wife and children, but can't bear the thought of out-living them as well. During his research to making him fully mortal, he discovered Father's nation-wide circle and set out to stop it.

And not only is she back, but all of her abilities are enhanced, she now has jet boots, enabling her to fly much more easily, and she has also been made the Protector of Mantle, where she serves as a symbol of peace. Sheâ€™s basically a superhero at this point. And this is BEFORE she becomes the Winter Maiden. Volume 9 of RWBY takes place in the Ever After, a world where death is never permanent and instead results in "ascension". While much of the early volume leaves this unexplored, and the audience is left wondering about the details of ascension, The Reveal shows us that it is this. Everyone who ascends comes back as a stronger version of themselves, more easily able to fulfill their purpose. The lone outlier is The Jabberwalker, a creation of the gods who can actually break the ascension process and grant the denizens of the Ever After a permanent death.

Came Back Strong / int_3aeb1c75	comment	Dragon Ball: Saiyans have this as a racial ability: if a Saiyan can recover from a near-fatal injury, they receive a power-up. It doesn't have an official name, however fans have taken to calling it "zenkai" (full release) after the first japanese ending song for Dragon Ball Z. Before he discovered the wonders of training, Vegeta used this as his sole method of getting stronger. He uses this to his advantage on Namek to one-up Cui and Zarbon, and does it intentionally by having Dende heal him after letting Krillin almost kill him so he can fight Frieza. It's also used to explain how Goku gets so strong on his way to Namek and to give him a boost after being beaten by Captain Ginyu.note It's also applied to retroactively explain how he would get more powerful after every defeat in earlier parts of the story, although this isn't apparent at all. There's also the example of dying and then training in the afterlife, especially with King Kai. Goku learned the Kaio Ken, Spirit Bomb (AKA the Genki Dama), and gained his Super Saiyan 2 and 3 forms this way. Additionally, Yamcha, Tenshinhan and Chiaotzu are able to take on the Ginyu Force sans Captain Ginyu himself due to their training with King Kai (at least in the anime), and Piccolo got considerably stronger even before fusing with Nail. There's also Freeza, who is maimed and near death when his shattered body is discovered by his father and rebuilt with cybernetics to be even stronger than before. It doesn't help. Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F' toys with this, as the mere act of Freeza coming back to life isn't what powers him up; it's the realization that he can't just coast on his natural power, which leads him to train for the first time in his life and achieve a Golden Super Mode that puts him nearly at the level of a Physical God. Later, Cell self-destructs and re-forms thanks to having the Namekian Healing Factor, and gets a power boost because he has Saiyan cells so that he goes from being made chump change by Super Saiyan 2 Gohan to almost killing him in their final Beam-O-War that he only loses from outside intervention and is finished off completely because a repeat would have meant no one could beat him and a bad ending for the heroes. This is the last time this Saiyan trait is specifically mentioned. Even worse, his death happening in close contact with Goku allowed Cell to learn his Instant Transmission technique (he also claims to know the Spirit Bomb, but doesn't use it in the anime.) There's also Shenron once Dende became Kami, who is now able to grant two wishes instead of one (they tried to allow him to grant three, but Piccolo tells them that letting him do that would prevent him from reviving multiple people.) This was apparently retconned later so that the dragon can grant three wishes, but multiple resurrections use the power of two wishes. In Dragon Ball Super, Cabba gets brutally knocked out of the first tournament by Vegeta for this purpose, so that he can one day get strong enough to become Super Saiyan Blue. After having been killed again in Resurrection F, Frieza was sent back to Hell. When recruited by Goku to fill the final spot in Universe 7's team for the Tournament of Power, Frieza reveals that he's spent all of this time in Hell meditating on his Golden form and has thus figured out how to master it. Thus the severely limited stamina that made him unable to beat Goku in a straight fight is gone, making him stronger than ever before.

Came Back Strong / int_41b0198a	comment	The Dresden Files: In Grave Peril, at the climax of the book Harry is killed by the Nightmare in his dreams and is immediately revived via CPR. When he comes back, Harry has created a ghost of himself (ghosts being psychic copies of the individual who died and are created at the moment of death) and the two proceed to whup ass. While doing so, Harry eats the Nightmare in his dreams and thus absorbs his magical power, allowing him to come back with so much strength that he vaporizes a pair of vampires almost instantly with no effort. To some extent when he was assassinated — he was already the Winter Knight, but he was incredibly drained and had nothing material left — not his house, his car, his weapons, his pets, his equipment, only a single change of clothes... and then he spent most of a book as a powerless ghost. Now? The Winter Knight is back in town, and just dictated terms to Queen Mab. In Skin Game, Murphy's improper use of the Sword of Faith led to Nicodemus shattering the blade. However, the power wasn't truly gone, and when Waldo Butters proved himself worthy of being a Knight, the Sword reconstituted itself in into a genuine Lightsaber. This is because of his deep belief in the morals of Star Wars.

It's explained that she gained the memories of her past incarnations from the "Groundhog Day" Loop, giving her tremendous experience. She also gained the ability to summon her witch form, Oktavia von Seckendorff, to assist her in battle. The ending is sort of a dark twist on the concept: Homura, moments before being carried off to heaven, suddenly unleashes her new eldritch powers (apparently gained by becoming a witch without breaking her soul gem), and uses them to steal Madoka's Physical God powers and become a full-fledged demon.

Kira's powers are essentially the same, albeit with more creative applications as time goes on, though he does discover new variations as time goes on. Most notable is HOLY DIVER, who can now stop time for an undefined period, and can even create 'bubbles' of frozen/unfrozen time to restrain people or have someone else move about in the frozen time. Combine that with the fact that he's inherited The World's strength and speed, it's easy to see how he became a lord of Hell itself. God Given (AKA Donatello Versus) has essentially the same powers as he did on earth, but since this is Hell he can freely summon an army of exorcists to do his bidding, making him one of the most outright deadly demons in Hell.

Resident Evil (Remake) extends this trope to common zombies: if you appear to kill one, but leave it alone for long enough, it will get back up and become a "Crimson Head", which is faster, stronger, and more aggressive than standard zombies. The only ways to prevent a zombie from becoming a Crimson Head is to either destroy its body with fire or blow its head off.

As she starts to fade away she instead thinks about everyone at stake from your evil actions, monsters and even humans she hates, everything in the world. These motivations fuel her immense willpower and determination, causing her to be reborn as Undyne the Undying, a FAR harder boss than anything you've faced so far. Even though she is an enemy and looks quite intimidating, YOU are the force of evil and she is the true heroine standing against you. She even has a unique boss theme for this occasion and is the only boss in the entire run that is capable of surviving more than one of your connected attacks.

Came Back Strong / int_5bd0554b	comment	Warcraft: Second generation Death Knights combine this trope with a bit of Came Back Wrong. Most Death Knights are already powerful Warriors or Paladins to begin with, but when they are raised they are imbued with powers over necromancy and disease, making them the Scourge's most powerful soldiers. This is less evident in World of Warcraft due to the obvious balance issues making Death Knights more powerful than the other classes would cause, but from a lore standpoint it remains true, even though it only translates into a higher starting level. In World of Warcraft Cataclysm's Rage of the Firelands patch, you confront Alysra and defeat her single-handedly in a quest. After you do so, some Druids of the Flame arrive, and revive her as a fire hawk, resulting in her flying off to the Firelands and becoming a much more difficult raid boss that requires 10-25 players to defeat. Ingvar the Plunderer in Utgarde Keep combines this with Trick Boss. After he's reanimated as an undead, his abilities become more powerful. Similarly, the Black Knight goes from being defeated alone in a quest to being a 5-man dungeon boss in Trial of the Champion. The Scourge had a habit of handing out this type of upgrade during their heyday.

In Adventure, he's killed by a powered up Celestial Arrow from Angewomon, but his bat familiars gather the data of his remaining minions to resurrect him as VenomMyotismon, who's notable as the first Mega Level Digimon in the anime's run. Unfortunately, while he was indeed stronger and far bigger, his intelligence took a hit and he reduced himself to a mindless, albeit resilient brute. Even still, it took everything the DigiDestined had to bring him down, even after WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon debuted. In Adventure 02, his ghost stuck around in the real world and possessed Yukio Oikawa until they entered a world where dreams become reality. Now powered by several despair-filled children, Myotismon is able to revive himself as MaloMyotismon who's not only stronger than VenomMyotismon, but has a far more varied move pool (up to and including a Lotus-Eater Machine attack) and retains Myotismon's former intelligence on top of that. He's ultimately defeated via Rasputinian Death mixed with Talking the Monster to Death, which cuts him off from his power source and ends with his soul being destroyed by Imperialdramon Fighter Mode while powered up by every single Digivice, finally rendering him Deader than Dead (hopefully; the Digital World's Cosmic Retcon in Digimon Adventure tri. reopens the possibility of his return).

At the start of his arc, he's barely strong enough to fight off the relatively low ranked Tank Top Master in S-class. Through multiple life and death battles, by the end of the arc, his monster form allows him to curbstomp the entire Hero's Association S-Class (Besides Blast). It still isn't enough to amount to much against Saitama, though it makes the second time one of his opponents can keep up and survive blows from his normal punches. It acts like the Zenkai boost from Dragon Ball above, albeit with a much stronger Healing Factor.

Until they drink the Water of Life, the Bene Gesserit do not possess any special powers beyond the Charles Atlas Superpower. After managing to drink the Water, internally convert it into a Super Serum, and survive, the Bene Gesserit emerges with access to Other Memory (the genetic memory of all her female ancestors). Not every Bene Gesserit survives the test. In fact, the prequel novels show that it took many decades for Raquella Berto-Anirul's accident (she manages to survive a poisoning attempt) to be successfully recreated. Norma Cenva is a borderline example. A Muggle Born of Mages, she is short and unattractive but possesses an incredible scientific mind. Many years later, she is captured by the Cymeks, and the danger activates her previously-latent Psychic Powers. The burst of psychic energy kills every Cymek around her and also obliterates her own body. Using her newfound abilities, her disembodied consciousness rebuilds her body molecule-by-molecule in a new, much hotter form, based on a composite of her female ancestors' looks. Not only does she become the most powerful Sorceress of Rossak, but she eventually becomes the very first Navigator (when she eventually allows her body to mutate, previously keeping it unchanging through sheer force of will). Unlike other Navigators, she is also able to fold space without a Holtzman engine.

Came Back Strong / int_81f5d35d	comment	Kamen Rider indulges in it frequently, usually to grant someone their final upgrade: Kamen Rider Agito introduces Gills, who died of his powers breaking down his body but was revived by a psychic with healing abilities. The result not only cures him of his degrading body but grants him the power to become Exceed Gills. People with the Orphnoch gene in Kamen Rider 555 will revive after death with new superpowers, most prominently the ability to shapeshift into a monstrous form. That said, It Only Works Once, and they only have a few years before they'll start crumbling to ash from the strain. Gentaro Kisaragi, a.k.a. Kamen Rider Fourze, is killed in episode 31 by Kamen Rider Meteor (who made a Deal with the Devil with the Aries Zodiarts to save his best friend), only for Kengo to use the Cosmic Switch (which they hadn't been able to get to work before that) to revive him, giving him his Super Mode in the process. Kamen Rider Wizard features Phoenix, one of the Greater Phantoms, who can revive himself every time he is killed, just like the mythological bird he takes his name from. Each revival not only makes him stronger, but it also comes faster, from taking weeks between resurrections to taking seconds. Haruto, quickly running out of ways to kill Phoenix, makes a Sealed Evil in a Can out of him by kicking him into the sun. Haruto himself later suffers the death of his Dragon Inner Phantom, destroying his ability to use magic, but his Heroic Willpower soon enough revives Dragon and grants him a new Super Mode to dispatch the villain that did it. Kamen Rider Drive sees Arc Villain Freeze kill Shinnosuke at the climax of the arc to show off his new Super Mode. The subsequent attempt to revive Shinnosuke ends up accidentally granting him a Super Mode that easily defeats Freeze's. Kamen Rider Ghost dies near the start of the first episode, promptly coming back as a ghost with 99 days to live but a host of new superpowers. He dies twice more during the show, once from running out of time and once from having his Soul Jar broken, but comes back after each death with a new power-up. Kamen Rider Ex-Aid sees virtually all of the antagonists, most of whom are sentient computer programs, exploit this as a method of level grinding. Even the two human antagonists get in on it, though, with one using a Survival Horror game to become a zombie who gets dramatically stronger after enough deaths, while the other kills himself to perform a Fusion Dance with the game's intended Final Boss and take its power for himself. One of the supporting protagonists also dies early in the show but comes back much later as a Bugster who's far stronger than he was as a human.

The result is that the player is resurrected in a new form. Now totally invincible, and with a new ability to fire huge bolts of energy, the player enters the final battle. Since nothing can hurt the player anymore, the only possible outcome is victory, as you proceed to rend the final boss to pieces.

He comes back in a new, stronger body, and has gained the ability to fly. Megatron would eventually do the same in the Grand Finale movie Predacons Rising thanks to Unicron possessing his body due to the Dark Energon within, gaining a larger, spikier body with a Faster Than Light capability alt form, dark energy weapons, and the ability to raise an army of Terrorcons. He's so strong in fact that not even Predaking can beat him now, but thankfully being enslaved and tortured by Unicron throughout the ordeal soured him to the idea of conquering anyone else and he leaves Cybertron without a fight after being freed from Unicron's taint. Also, it's not clear exactly how many of those powers he kept afterwards.

Specifically, at the end of chapter 21, Alear dies at the hands of Sombron while protecting Veyle, their sister. As a stopgap measure to get the Emblems' power back, Veyle revives Alear as a Corrupted. That isn't what qualifies for this trope, though, as Alear's reanimated corpse gives out at the end of the chapter. In response to Alear's will to keep fighting, even after their second death, the emblems combine their power to create a miracle (something they can only do once ever), Reviving Alear for real as a thirteenth Emblem, the Fire Emblem.

After getting to the Barbarian afterlife, he is denied passage by the Ancients, who send him back as an immortal, forced to forever walk Enroth (and later Axeoth) until he redeems himself enough to be allowed to join the Ancients. Throughout the different chapters, Tarnum becomes many things, from knight to mage, and tries to atone for his mistakes. At the end of the Barbarian campaign in Heroes Of Might and Magic IV, he finally succeeds (by helping another Barbarian to unite the tribes without becoming a tyrant) and chooses to stay instead of joining the Ancients.

Came Back Strong / int_9ab32c13	comment	Pony POV Series: In the Dark World Arc, Twilight has her Element of Chaos ripped out by Angry Pie, causing her to begin rapidly aging to death. However, she gets Trixie's Element of Magic from her grave (it's heavily implied to have been a gift from Trixie's spirit), restoring her and teaching her all of Trixie's spells. At the end of Dark World, Rarity, now the Alicorn of the Mortal World Queen Libra, is given the chance to bring everyone who died as a result of Discord and his minions' actions Back from the Dead. Due to Heaven encouraging continuing the pursuits you did in life if you genuinely enjoyed them and they weren't evil, now possibly studying under the spirits of past masters in that craft, several ponies were subject to this trope. For example, Apple Pie's sister Poison Apple has spent the time since her passing until now training in alchemy with Zecora and came back with much more advanced knowledge to the point of being able to whip up a brew to melt the bars of a prison cell. This is pretty much the end result of a Shadow of Existence fusing with the pony who inherited their Light of Existence. While their name and appearance remain the same as the pony they fused with (though may gain a name), they've essentially recreated the soul of the original pony they were and now have the combined abilities and traits of their two halves. This has happened to Applebloom (who fused with G3 Toola Roola's Shadow of Existence), AK Yearling (who fused with G3 Puzzlemint's), and Lovestruck (who fused with Cupid's Shadow, being the {Reincarnation of Cupid's G3 self). Of the three, Yearling is the straightest example of this trope, as Pandora's influence resulted in them creating the real-world version of Daring Do.

He died and came back as a skeleton, so, while he isn't explicitly stronger, he is much faster now, a lot harder to kill, and able to do things like run on water or jump distances that are ridiculous even by One Piece standards. This is all explained by skeleton!Brook apparently having the same level of strength that human!Brook did, but vastly lower mass. Baron Tamago's Egg-Egg Fruit lets him come back from just about anything stronger than before; the base form usually seen is the Egg form; bisect/smash/generally kill him in that, and he'll crack and spill egg yolk, from which Viscount Hiyoko, a chick (as in baby chicken) version of Tamago, is reborn. Viscount Hiyoko is significantly stronger and much faster, which gives his killer a nasty surprise. And if you kill that, more yolk is spilled, and from that one Count Niwatori, the rooster version that is strongest of all and "a true knight", is reborn. While parties involved in discovering this flee before they can confront Niwatori, Word of God says that if he dies in that form, he just goes back to Tamago, restarting the cycle. It's not entirely known how to make any damage stick, but we know he's not completely invincible since the scar Pedro gave him long ago is still there, and it's suggested killing him while the yolk's still fresh is perfectly possible.

In life, Professor James Moriarty was merely a criminal mastermind. As a Servant, he can summon an asteroid that can potentially destroy the planet. Inverted with Ishtar: in her legends she's flat out the most powerful of the Mesopotamic divinities, capable of destroying a mountain in a fit of anger, and in Fate/strange Fake Gilgamesh (who knew her personally) stated the appropriate response to her coming for a fight would be using planet-destroying weapons. As a Pseudo-Servant, however, she had to take a human host, so, while still immensely powerful (the annihilation of a mountain was turned into her Noble Phantasm), she's much weaker and influenced by said host's personality (thus losing her legendary ruthlessness and gaining Rin Tohsaka's Butt-Monkey tendencies) and had her most powerful weapon stolen by her Fate/strange fake counterpart on top of that, thus her abilities won't compensate for her other failings. Mary Anning comments that she was only a paleontologist and never fought anyone when she was alive. As a Servant, she gains Shock and Awe powers due to how she survived a lightning strike as a 15 month old, is strong enough to use icthyosaurs, plesiosaurs, and other creatures as bludgeons, and can perform Fossil Revival to give herself an army of creatures to attack her opponents. Hitachibou Kaison was an ordinary soldier who cowardly abandoned Musashibo Benkei to be killed, then spent the rest of his life atoning for it by taking on Benkei's identity and spreading his story. Due to being a major source of Benkei's fame, when Kaison is summoned, he has all of Benkei's powers. Andromeda was known as a princess who was Chained to a Rock as a sacrifice to the monster Cetus until Perseus rescued her. As a Servant, she still has the chains and they cannot be removed, but she is now able to swing the rock attached to them like a flail and she can use Cetus as a mount. She also has Dishing Out Dirt, Making a Splash, and Star Power powers.

The Exile is a former Jedi who has "died" by losing all access to the Force and only regains it through a bond with Kreia, another former Jedi who has "died" ideologically, twice. In Star Wars the Force pretty much is life/God, so to lose all access to it is a state most Force-sensitives would see as equivalent with death. Indeed, in the Light Side ending, it becomes death to the Jedi Masters when Kreia takes the Force away from them and the shock kills them.

Unfortunately, there's some overlap with Came Back Wrong as well — each resurrection chips away a bit more of Rhulad's already frail sanity. At the end of Midnight Tides, Brys Beddict figures out the loophole in this power; he has to beat Rhulad without actually killing him or he'll just make the problem worse, so he carefully severs key tendons in Rhulad's arms and legs to leave him paralyzed but alive. Too bad someone else shows up a few minutes later and, not understanding the situation, performs what he thought was a Mercy Kill...

When Cersei asks Qyburn if Gregor Clegane is going to come back weaker, he's quick to dismiss the notion, implying this trope. Gregor really didn't need the boost, to be honest. Thanks, Qyburn? Gregor confirms this to be the case when he casually rips a man's head off with his bare hands. Cersei proudly rubs in Ellaria Sand's face that this new Clegane is stronger than ever. Viserion gets a hefty boost after being reanimated as the Night King's wight mount. He gains the ability to breathe blue dragonfire powerful enough to single-handedly destroy Eastwatch and blast through the Wall, an 8000-year-old ice barricade fortified by magic. All by himself. He can breathe this fire for a far longer period of time than any of his siblings, even the larger Drogon, have been shown to. And on top of that, he's seemingly gotten much faster in the air.

Came Back Strong / int_b8ec1fed	comment	The Beginning After the End: At the end of Volume 7, Arthur, despite being one of the strongest mages on the Dicathian side, was barely able to hold his own against two of the strongest Scythes that the Vritra had at their disposal. He is forced to overexert his powers to keep fighting, and when that fails his bond Sylvie is forced to sacrifice herself to not only keep him from tearing his body apart but to send him off to safety into an unknown location, and in the aftermath he also finds out that his Mana Core has been irreparably damaged beyond repair as a result. In spite of all of this, Arthur ends up gaining new powers that match if not outright exceed his previous powerset. He learns that Sylvie's sacrifice has made his body part Asura (which allows him to regenerate quickly), develops a replacement Core that runs on Aether instead of Mana (which allows him to manipulate the elements again albeit indirectly) and gains a more comprehensive understanding of it that exceeds that of the Asuras, learns game-changing spells such as Destruction and Aroa's Requiem, awakens the Acclorite Wren gave him before the war (which manifests as a Shapeshifter Weapon Fighting Spirit named Regis), and acquires a ancient suit of Powered Armor that only he can wear due to him being a descendant of the Djinn. In the climax of Volume 9, Arthur gets to put all his newfound abilities to good use. In his rematch with those two Scythes, he effortlessly knocks out one in a Single-Stroke Battle that destroys said Scythe's Mana Core and slays the other before promptly escaping back to his friends and family in Dicathen. Once there, he ends up fighting an Asura sent to kill them, one who had stymied all of the remaining Lances, and slays him as well. As if that were not enough, Volume 10 has Arthur capitalize on his newfound power and reputation to single-handedly undo the Alacryan Conquest of Dicathen in a matter of days. However, Arthur's comeback is undercut by the fact that even though he is now one of the strongest mortal mages in the world, he knows that he alone won't be enough to take on the Asuras who have caused much of the conflict in the setting.

As a result the graduating student of the school can come back from death or near death as many times as necessary until he learns from his mistakes and improves his physical and mental abilities.

Came Back Strong / int_bcadd7cb	comment	Warhammer 40,000 has at least two versions of this. The Sisters of Battle have their Holy Living Saints, revered fallen martyrs who return to the battlefield as miraculous glowing giant warrior of faith when called by their pious sisters to fight in the Holy God Emperor of All Mankind's name. The Space Marines have their Dreadnaughts. A mortally wounded Space Marine, if deemed suitable, can be inserted/sealed into a "combat sarcophagus" with enormous weapons which makes the Space Marine even deadlier in battle. Chaos Space Marine Dreadnoughts invert this, however — where loyalist dreadnaughts sleep during the centuries that separate each campaign, CSM dreadnaughts only have their legs and weapons removed and left fully conscious. Small wonder that they take any chance to shoot their own side in battle and are often The Berserker. Each Eldar Phoenix Lord can reincarnate if someone living dons their armor; this process overrides the wearer's consciousness but adds their experiences and knowledge to the Phoenix Lord. Thus with each successive reincarnation, the Phoenix Lord becomes a little stronger than he/she was before. Hive Tyrants, on top of being able to select a whole new set of biomorphs when they are resurrected by their hive fleets, also gain new tactical awareness and hatred for their foes whenever they are revived, thus "older" hive tyrants are much greater threats than they were "younger". The Swarm Lord, in particular, is feared as the greatest tactician among the hive fleet's swarms. Averted with the Necrons, despite being an entire faction based on immortality and returning from the dead. Necrons that take too much damage are teleported away to the nearest tomb world for repairs, but given how ancient they are, they tend to accumulate mental damage with every repair. Flayed Ones forget they're robots and wear the skin of their victims in the hopes of being living again. Dark Eldar haemonculi are able to bring people back from the dead. However, repeated uses of the process are not recommended, as some parts inevitably go wrong. The greatest (and least sane) of them all, Urien Rakarth, is so far gone he looks like a Humanoid Abomination, and actually looks forward to being killed so he can see what new and random mutations will result from the resurrection process. Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka was subjected to this, in tandem with We Can Rebuild Him, during the Psychic Awakening. After fighting and getting beheaded by Ragnar Blackmane, Ghazghkull's body was recovered by Mad Dok Grotsnik, chopped apart and then reassembled into an even bigger, armored form. Then, after ten days of being defibrillated with an orbital generator strong enough to potentially destroy a planet, Ghazghkull was revived, bigger and stronger than he ever had been before. Nice job, Ragnar.

Since his protection in this universe comes from the Phoenix (which merged with Lily, who became the White Phoenix of the Crown as part of the deal), this was a catastrophically bad idea. It's revealed in the sequel that he can tap into the Phoenix fragment within him at will, either to boost his already significant Psychic Powers and magical abilities, or to become a watered down version of a Phoenix Host which rapidly gets stronger when boosted by either the Power of Love or the Power Of Hate. Considering what Harry goes through, the latter is a good indication of why most people don't think this is a good thing. Plus, it tends to weaken the fabric of reality in his immediate vicinity.

When he is killed and brought back to life, this mutates into the ability to see death, allowing him to cut anything by tracing its "lines of death" or destroy anything by stabbing its "point of death". This manages to be even more overpowered than it sounds, but Shiki has to wear Anti-Magic glasses to avoid going mad (besides the obvious reasons, just looking at a "very immortal" character for too long can cause brain damage). In general for the Fate Series, anyone summoned as a Servant for a Holy Grail War gains enhanced strength, speed, immunity to non-magical attacks, and special powers based on their legends that they may not have held in life. Fate/stay night: In life, Heracles was "merely" the strongest man in the world. As a Servant, he gains an Adaptive Ability and Resurrective Immortality up to twelve times. In life, Angra Mainyu was an ordinary man who became The Scapegoat for his people's sins. When he was summoned in the Third Holy Grail War, he had no abilities and was quickly killed. However, when he was absorbed by the Holy Grail, he truly became the God of Evil. Fate/Zero: In life, Gilles de Rais was a knight turned Serial Killer who was merely rumored to practice black magic by his enemies. As a Servant, he actually has magic. In life, The Hundred-Faced Hassan-i-Sabbah had the ability to alter his appearance. As a Servant, he can split his body into each of his many identities. As a Servant, Iskandar gains Shock and Awe powers because in life he had claimed to be a descendant of Zeus. He can also summon a Reality Marble, which should be impossible because he is not a Magus, which holds an army of everyone who had ever fought beside him in life. Fate/Grand Order: Many authors, artists, and scientists gain magic as Servants. In life, Medusa's sisters Euryale and Stheno only had agelessness and were completely dependent on Medusa for protection. As Servants, they are straight-up surprised that they now have superpowers that allow them to fight. King David was elderly and bedridden at the time of his death. As a Servant, he is pleased to find his body back in his physical prime, plus he has abilities like turning his classic slingshot into a Wave-Motion Gun. In life, Professor James Moriarty was merely a criminal mastermind. As a Servant, he can summon an asteroid that can potentially destroy the planet. Inverted with Ishtar: in her legends she's flat out the most powerful of the Mesopotamic divinities, capable of destroying a mountain in a fit of anger, and in Fate/strange Fake Gilgamesh (who knew her personally) stated the appropriate response to her coming for a fight would be using planet-destroying weapons. As a Pseudo-Servant, however, she had to take a human host, so, while still immensely powerful (the annihilation of a mountain was turned into her Noble Phantasm), she's much weaker and influenced by said host's personality (thus losing her legendary ruthlessness and gaining Rin Tohsaka's Butt-Monkey tendencies) and had her most powerful weapon stolen by her Fate/strange fake counterpart on top of that, thus her abilities won't compensate for her other failings. Mary Anning comments that she was only a paleontologist and never fought anyone when she was alive. As a Servant, she gains Shock and Awe powers due to how she survived a lightning strike as a 15 month old, is strong enough to use icthyosaurs, plesiosaurs, and other creatures as bludgeons, and can perform Fossil Revival to give herself an army of creatures to attack her opponents. Hitachibou Kaison was an ordinary soldier who cowardly abandoned Musashibo Benkei to be killed, then spent the rest of his life atoning for it by taking on Benkei's identity and spreading his story. Due to being a major source of Benkei's fame, when Kaison is summoned, he has all of Benkei's powers. Andromeda was known as a princess who was Chained to a Rock as a sacrifice to the monster Cetus until Perseus rescued her. As a Servant, she still has the chains and they cannot be removed, but she is now able to swing the rock attached to them like a flail and she can use Cetus as a mount. She also has Dishing Out Dirt, Making a Splash, and Star Power powers.

Dragon Quest IX has Greygnarl. Judging from the hints listed under Inferred Survival, it's likely that he did in fact die against Barbarus, but was carrying an Yggdrasil Leaf that not only brought him back, but to the prime of his life, effectively carrying out a Thanatos Gambit. Dragon Quest XI: In the Definitive Edition, it turns out Mordragon managed to survive the original history's erasure, transcending spacetime to return as the Timewyrm, an exclusive Bonus Boss. His defeat here seems to cement his final destruction, albeit the Luminary can just turn back time to fight him as much as he likes.

Possibly overlapping with Came Back Wrong, as he becomes an Omnicidal Maniac, though since he was Ax-Crazy even before his death, it's hard to say how much the whole rebuilding affected his mind.

In the Season 4 opener, taking place six months later, Team Flash manages to get him back. After a brief period of mental instability, Barry comes back to save Iris. His first act is to casually break out of the Pipeline, something no one else has been able to do. When measuring his speed, the entire team is in awe, claiming that no other speedster has been able to move that fast (apparently, forgetting about Savitar). Even Wally admits that it's beyond his current capabilities. Initially subverted in Arrow with Damien Darhk, after he comes back in Legends of Tomorrow, as this is an earlier version of him without magical powers. Played straight in Season 3 of Legends, after he is resurrected by his daughter. He not only levitates himself right out of the coffin but also disarms a roomful of Time Bureau agents with a wave of his hand, before proceeding to slaughter them to the tune of "Return of the Mack", while sipping on a cocktail. He also instantly recalls his previous encounters with the Legends, despite the mind-wipe.
