Reborn: Tianyu Turns the Tyrant into a Self-Loathing Brat

During the Shibuya Incident, Toji Zenin is resurrected through a séance. After learning that his kid hasn't been ruined by the Zenin clan, he dies content.

But somehow, he doesn't quite die.

A sliver of his consciousness attaches itself to his kid, allowing the long-dead spirit to witness his child's fate.

Self-loathing and self-contempt eventually lead his child to become the body of the King of Curses, with his soul commandeered and subjected to Unlimited Void three times...

For the first time in his life, this piece of human garbage, who had never feared death, tastes regret.

And so, he is reborn.

Reborn in the year his wife died, when he fell into hell in his despair.

Gazing at the quiet, non-crying baby with hair like sea urchin spines, this time the piece of human garbage chooses to take up his responsibilities as a father.

He raises the child with care, teaches him, and shows this frail little beast how to find his footing and survive on his own in this grim hell of steel and concrete.

And, while he's at it, he gives that arrogant white-haired cat a couple of vicious kicks to vent his anger.

1. A widower raising a kid. A killer and a piece of human garbage tries to be a good dad.

2. The pairing is most likely that white-haired cat. Adoptive father X biological father.

3. They switch roles. Every night before bed, they beat each other up to settle who's on top.

Core theme: A father teaches his child and guides him as he grows.
