If topological characterization was completed for many chaotic attractors, the case of toroidal chaos-a chaotic regime based on a toroidal structure-is still challenging. We here investigate the topology of toroidal chaos, first by using an inductive approach, starting from the branched manifold for the Rossler attractor. The driven van der Pol system-in Robert Shaw's form-is used as a realization of that branched manifold. Then, using a deductive approach, the branched manifold for the chaotic attractor produced by the Deng toroidal system is extracted from data. %$ 020
