==Summary==
Resurrection is the ability to resurrect oneself or others after their death. Often, characters can do one or the other, not both, but others can play both. The limits of this ability vary from fiction to fiction and from character to character; some may only be able to resurrect those who have died, while others will be able to bring back to life those who have been dead for some time, even if they have nothing left. The mechanisms also vary. When in the hands of a character who uses the resurrection on himself, giving him a certain degree of immortality, this ability often coexists with regeneration, although the process may take some time. This ability should not be confused with necromancy, the ability to resurrect the dead as undead, but it also covers reincarnation, characters who, upon death, end up to reincarnate own powers. In many cases, self-resurrection can take too long to be applicable, but it still exists. The ability has similar limits to regeneration, and one should not assume that because a character has never failed to resurrect, he can do it no matter how he was killed.

'''Resurrection''' is the ability to revive one's self or others after they have died. Often, characters can do one or the other, not both, but others can perform both. The limits of this ability vary from fiction to fiction and from character to character; some may be only able to resurrect those who have recently died, while others may be capable of bringing those who have been dead for quite some time back to life, even if nothing remains. The mechanisms vary as well.

* Meliodas (Nanatsu no Taizai)
When in the hands of a character who uses resurrection on themselves, giving them some degree of [[Immortality]], this ability often co-exists with [[Regeneration]], though the process can take some time. This ability is not to be confused with [[Necromancy]], the ability to raise the dead as undead beings, but it also covers '''Reincarnation''', characters who, upon death, eventually reincarnate the bodies of others - not as a mechanic of the verse, but through their own powers.
 
In many cases, self-resurrection may take too long to be combat applicable, but it still exists. The ability has similar limitations to regeneration, and one should not assume that, because a character has never failed to resurrect, that they can resurrect regardless of how they've been killed.
