Usages
- An unknown person used it on Father.[1] Although humans are not supposed to be able to return from the Underworld after death,[3] Father was able to be called back through a loophole, giving him "godlike abilities" upon return.[2] The exact details of the loophole are currently unknown.

Trivia
- In old Japanese tradition, tamayobi (
魂呼 び) or tamayobai (魂呼 ばい) refers to attempts to call a deceased person's soul back to the living realm.[6] This was done by either climbing to a roof or looking down a well and shouting the deceased person's name. Interestingly, a modern Japanese word for "revive"/"come back to life" is蘇 る yomigaeru, lit: "to return from Yomi (the Underworld)".[7]
