INFO-JP023 至天の魔王ミッシング・バロウズ Shiten no Ma-Oh Missing Burroughs (Missing Burroughs, the Dark Ruler of the Highest Heaven)
Level 10 LIGHT Fiend Effect Monster
ATK 3100 DEF 2900
You can only use the 2nd effect of this card’s name each once per turn.
(1) You can Special Summon this card (from your hand) by banishing 1 monster, 1 Spell, and 1 Trap from your GY.
(2) If this card is Special Summoned from the hand: You can banish 1 monster and 2 Spells/Traps your opponent controls and/or from their GY.

Note: This might be a reference to William S. Burroughs, a famous sci-fi author. Shiten here can also mean Fulcrum or Dead Point (the very top or bottom of a Piston).

It could also be a play on Baros, which means ‘weight’. Also, it interacting with itself and 3 cards and 3 cards on each effect might be why it has “shi” in the name, as in 4.

There’s probably a bunch of things going on here, and we’re not entirely sure which.
