Bochi’s assassin guild strategy is also a requiem for true destruction!
General Note:
Bochi’s Deck theme is called 邪犬 (Jaken) which plays on Jaken which means cruel, heartless, hard-hearted (or ideas that reject the cause and effect preached in Buddhist Dharma). I’m going with Heartless Hound, but Cruel Canine or Fiendish Fido or Merciless Mutt would work as well.
Its name seems to come from Bochi’s style of martial arts, 邪犬愛凶拳 (Jaken Aikyou Ken, lit. Evil Dog Love Evil Fist).

[REQUIREMENT] None
[EFFECT] Send the top 2 cards of your Deck to the GY. If you activate this effect during your Main Phase this card was Normal or Special Summoned, you can also choose 1 Level 6 or lower Beast-Warrior Normal Monster in your GY and Special Summon it to your field face-up.
Note: I’m not sure, but I think this card is referencing the god Indra with the In part switched to the back. I think he’s holding a Vajra? And Inu is well, Japanese for Dog.

(The general belief is that there is a cycle of creation, preservation, and destruction in Hinduism, and Shiva represents the natural need for things to be destroyed so that new things may be created.)
