If I Drinking One's Life a personality, targeting oni A, who is later killed, does the effect turn back on if I resurrect the oni at a later time?
Ex: my T4: Daku no Oni uses Drinking One's Life on Shiba Aikune xp3. their T5: Daku no Oni is killed by Hired Killer on their turn my T6: Bring back Daku no Oni with Soul Jar. their T7: Does Drinking One's Life continue to inflict the penalty on Shiba Aikune xp3?

No.
The stated duration of the effect ends once the Oni leaves play. It does not reassert itself.
(Control, which has similar wording, works in the same manner)
