And a new Bujin support boss appears.
LVP3-JP056 Bujinki Awashima
Link 2 LIGHT Beast-Warrior Link Effect Monster
ATK 1500
Link Arrows: Top-Center, Bottom-Right
Link Materials: 2 monsters that have the same Level
You can use each effect among the (1)st and (2)nd effects with this card’s name only once per turn.
Cannot be used as Link Material.
(1) If this card is Link Summoned: You can Special Summon 2 monsters with the same Level (1 from your hand and 1 from your GY, also their effects are negated), and if you do, immediately after this effect resolves, Xyz Summon 1 Xyz Monster, using only those 2 monsters as material.
(2) If an Xyz Monster(s) this card points to activates an effect(s) by detaching an Xyz Material(s): You can target 1 Spell/Trap your opponent controls; destroy it.
アハシマ (Ahashima) seems to refer to one of the early failed children of Izanagi and Izanami, and also an island of the same name, meaning “Island of Foam”. Who later became a re-purposed Kami of childbirth, motherhood and women’s health (especially with the parts involving childbirth)
It’s possible the card, being named after the sibling of Hiruko, and both are considered something of ‘failed’ gods in Japanese mythos, might be based in part on Mizuchi from Yu-Gi-Oh! GX.
