復帰

• 読み: ふっき
• ローマ字: fukki

• 発音: /ɸɯk.ki/

意味

Comeback — returning to a game or competition after a period of absence.

The natural counterpart to 引退, 復帰 describes the act of returning after a break. In gaming, 復帰勢 (comeback players) are a recognised category — they often face an overwhelming amount of new content and balance changes. Many games now include 復帰ボーナス (return bonuses) to welcome players back. In sports, a 復帰 after injury is a dramatic narrative event.

例文

1. 久しぶりに復帰したらアプデ多すぎてルール変わってた。
