House of the Dragon fans have a theory about how Sunfyre came back from the dead

The fans of House of the Dragon theory regarding Sunfyre's resurrection from the dead is centered around a possible involvement of blood magic. This speculation stems from a tweet comparing Aegon's interaction with Sunfyre's scale in episode 7 and his act of killing a camp leader in episode 5. The tweet humorously suggests that Aegon's accidental use of blood magic during the former might have caused Sunfyre to come back to life.

However, the likelihood of this is dismissed as unlikely. In episode 5, Aegon eliminates the leader of a camp he's staying with, using a dagger instead of Sunfyre's scale. The most plausible explanation is that Sunfyre was not actually dead, but rather in a sort of dragon coma following the Battle of Rook's Rest. It's probable that Aegon's reunion with the deceased dragon in Season 3, episode 4 triggered Sunfyre's awakening.

It's worth noting that Aegon had previously informed Larys about Sunfyre's survival. House of the Dragon episodes are broadcast on Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on HBO and Max.
