(2) During your Main Phase: You can Fusion Summon 1 “Gouki” Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, using monsters from your hand or field as material.

Note: This card might also be a play on Seek as Go sought the Ignis as a mercenary working for SOL Technologies.

The card itself is a reference to Edward George Farhat, i.e. The Sheik, a famous pro wrestler. The card’s use of fire, for some reference, is referencing a Flame Tag-Team Death Match with his nephew Sabu against Atsushi Onita and Tarzan Goto. The Sheik suffered third degree burns and nearly died, going into a coma.

Or the fact Sheik was notorious for basically creating impromptu flamethrowers in matches.

(2) You can Tribute 1 Link-3 or higher “Gouki” monster; Special Summon 1 “Dinowrestler” or “G Golem” monster from your Deck or Extra Deck.

Note: This is a reference to “Pain and Gain”, Go Onizuka’s skill that was called 闘魂 (Toukon) in Japan.
