Edo Tensei, also known as Impure World Reincarnation, is a forbidden jutsu from the Naruto series that summons the dead back to life under the summoner's control. It became closely linked to major villains and large-scale battles in Naruto Shippuden, especially during the war arc, where revived shinobi returned with techniques such as Mangekyo Sharingan. Clips of its distinctive cue spread through anime edits, reaction videos, and soundboards, where fans reuse it as shorthand for a dramatic return. It remains popular because that single association instantly signals resurrection, power, and a twist no one expected.
