Actually Hand ninjas generally don't actually die, their bodies turn to ash but they're reborn (at which time they can die again but turn to ash immediately like Obi-Wan) which is what Gao was telling/foreshadowing with Fisk later when they were talking about Nobu's 'death', that his people were preparing him for what came next. Uh, if it was just a funeral there would have been no big ceremony or whatever.

I heard an interview with Peter Shinkoda recently and they asked him whether he was coming back in S2 and he said he couldn't say yet coz obvs the season is still filming and although he hasn't been called in yet, he still could be, and he wouldn't be able to confirm nor deny because Marvel no likey when their people start spilling secrets. IIRC that interview is on the Defenders Podcast.

sa - Sorry! I meant when a Hand soldier dies the FIRST time they are prepared and brought back to life, and THEN if they die again they turn to ash. So the story goes iirc. This is why so many of them are considered very very very old. I don't know if this is what Stick meant when he talked about Nobu to Matt but he did say that Nobu was near the top of the Hand power structure and Nobu was the name he was using now. Maybe Nobu has died before or maybe the MCU is going to change things up a little bit so it's not exactly like the comics, but there's definitely something weird with the way Nobu died and the way Gao was talking about him and the way Fisk was actually scared of Nobu and his people (the Hand).

also, here's another thing, since i just rewatched episode 9:

wesley asks fisk what they should do with nobu after they find him on fire and the fight with matt is finished. fisk's response? "let him burn."

they leave nobu behind and, realistically, he could have come back from the ashes with nobody around to even realize.
