'''Bochi''' (ボチ ''Bochi'') is a character in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!]]'' anime. He is an alien currently in the care of [[Manya Atachi]], who initially came to [[Mutsuba Town]] to eliminate the Sogetsu Clan, until he had a change of heart after coming in contact with [[Manabu Sogetsu]].

==Design==
===Appearance===
{{double image|left|Bochi (GO_RUSH!!)-Full.png|120|Bochi (GO_RUSH!!) DogConcept.png|174|Full-body view and line art of Bochi in his dog form}}
In his dog form, Bochi closely resembles [[Graves]] from ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS]]''. He is a small dark brown dog with white markings, and wears a spiked collar.

In his alien form, Bochi closely resembles [[Yosh Imimi]] in his [[Good Max]] outfit. In this form, his head stays the same along with keeping his spiked collar, but, he is taller and more muscular with a more human body than dog. He wears a dark maroon skin suit with a blue chest plate on top, with black shoulder plates each with a silver spike on top, both with a golden rim, blue arm-guards, with a gold rim, and ankle guards under a darker blue knee guard with gold strap, a grey belt with a gold buckle and a maroon cape.

===Personality===
Bochi can be somewhat lazy and self-centered, but is fiercely devoted to Manya. He demonstrates a strong sense of honor, having rejected his culture's traditional assassination techniques out of belief doing so is cowardice.

===Abilities===
Bochi has the ability to transform between two forms, a dog and a warrior. However, he requires energy to maintain his warrior form and will transform back to his dog form once he has used up too much energy. As an alien from the [[Bow Wow Wow Cluster]], he uses this ability to perform the [[Wicked Fist of the Beloved Dog]] style, an assassination technique where the user infiltrates the enemy in their dog form so that they can attack when least expected. However, he largely no longer uses this technique as he finds it cowardly.

===Etymology===
As with [[Graves]], whose name he shares, Bochi's name comes from the Japanese word for "[[Graveyard]]".

==Biography==
===History===
Bochi was searching for a warrior that could become his prey, when he found the [[Sogetsu Style]]. He decided that he wanted to ruin the Sogetsu Style with his [[Wicked Fist of the Beloved Dog]] style, so he decided to get close to [[Manabu Sogetsu]], the current heir to the style. However, when Manabu was sent away after being discovered with Bochi, Bochi believed he was abandoned and desired vengeance against Manabu. Having failed his mission, Bochi lost purpose, until meeting [[Manya Atachi]] in a rainy. Watching her try so hard to achieve her dream of becoming a famous actor, he realized his style was cowardly and decided that he would use his strength to protect her, revealing his abilities to Manya and her manager, [[London Kirishima]].<ref name="ep9">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!|9|ref}}</ref>

===First Arc===
Bochi accompanied [[Manya Atachi|Manya]] to [[Mutsuba Town]] for her [[Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel|Rush Duels]] against a local elementary school team, wandering through the [[Mutsuba Cable Studio]].<ref name="ep8">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!|8|ref}}</ref> [[Manabu Sogetsu|Manabu]], now an agent of [[MIK (organization)|MIK]], came to the station in pursuit of Bochi, so after Manya's Duel with her childhood friend [[Yuamu Ohdo]], Bochi asked Manya and [[London Kirishima|London]] for permission to Rush Duel Manabu, as he desired to see how strong Manabu had become in his absence. When Bochi was revealed to the audience, he transformed into his humanoid form and claimed to Manabu he wanted revenge for being abandoned in the hopes of strengthening Manabu's resolve. Bochi Summoned "[[Heartless Hound Thunder Emperor Drainu (anime)|Heartless Hound Thunder Emperor Drainu]]" on his first turn, but Manabu easily weakened it and [[destroy]]ed it with "[[Blast Examiner (anime)|Blast Examiner]]". Bochi praised the strength of the [[Sogetsu Style]], prompting Manabu to explain their past and admit he'd joined MIK in the hopes of finding the alien he believed had kidnapped Bochi, giving Bochi the chance to reveal his true intentions behind befriending Manabu. He Summoned "[[Heartless Hound Martial Master Shiba (anime)|Heartless Hound Martial Master Shiba]]" and revived "Drainu", almost defeating Manabu, but on his next turn Manabu declared the experiment over and Summoned "[[Chemicalize Salamander (anime)|Chemicalize Salamander]]", using its [[effect]] to exploit the large number of [[Monster Card|monsters]] Bochi had sent to the [[Graveyard]] to lower the [[ATK]] of his monsters and defeat him. Pleased by Manabu's victory, Bochi burst into proud tears and admitted his deception, apologizing to Manabu for fooling him in the past. Manabu forgave Bochi, accepting he was happy serving Manya.<ref name="ep9" />

Although Manabu's victory had given the local team the win, the Duels continued due to [[Yuhi Ohdo]] wanting to Duel and Manabu being judged as not part of the UTS team, but [[Chupataro Kaburagi]] suddenly broke through the wall.<ref name="ep9" /> Chupataro demanded to Rush Duel, and after learning he had incapacitated London, Bochi moved to oppose Chupataro, but transformed back into his dog form, having used all his power during his Rush Duel with Manabu, so [[Yudias Velgear]], another alien, accepted Chupataro's challenge instead. During the Rush Duel Chupataro Summoned "[[Magical Sheep Girl Meeeg-chan (anime)|Magical Sheep Girl Meeeg-chan]]", and [[Earthdamar|a substance]] emerged from his [[Duel Disk]] and entered "Meeeg-chan", materializing her in the physical world. [[Magical Sheep Girl Meeeg-chan (character)|Meeeg-chan]] mistook Bochi for Shoruta, a dog from her farm, and chased him down, berating Bochi for not shepherding her as he was supposed to. She then mistook Yudias for an evil alien and took over the Duel for Chupataro, physically attacking Yudias and blowing Bochi away with the force of the attack. Although Meeeg-chan attacked Yudias during his turn, he was able to defeat her, causing her to disappear after the Rush Duel, while MIK took Chupataro away.<ref name="ep10">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!|10|ref}}</ref>

After Manya worked with Mutsuba Cable to cover the incident up, Bochi accompanied her and London to the [[UTS office]] to check on the injured Yudias. Manabu and Nyandestar also visited to ask if Yudias knew where [[Zuwijo zir Velgear|Zuwijo]], Yudias' former commander and the one behind Chupataro's actions, was hiding, though Yudias didn't answer and the twins convinced Manabu to leave. After he had, Yudias asked to learn Rush Dueling from the basics again, so Manya decided to subject him to her "special training from hell", training Bochi knew was made-up, but with which he dutifully assisted. Afterwards Bochi accidentally switched on a recording of Yuamu tricking Yuhi by checking her Graveyard, giving Yudias the idea to find Zuwijo by understanding what he was thinking. They visited [[Black Goat Residence|Chupataro's apartment]], where the sight of [[Mutsuba Tower]] caused Yudias to realize Zuwijo was there to send a message, and Bochi accompanied them to Mutsuba Tower to find Zuwijo there with [[Mitsuko Hiramori]].<ref name="ep11">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!|11|ref}}</ref>

Yudias and Zuwijo argued over how to end the war in the [[Velgear Star Cluster]], a war Bochi was aware of and had heard could spread to other systems soon, something Manya and London asked to be kept away from Earth. Yudias and Zuwijo Rush Dueled as they were unable to settle their differences, and to Bochi's disgust (enough to revert him to his dog form) Mitsuko showed them a [[Duel Disk]] that had been exposed to the Earthdamar, which Zuwijo used to materialize "[[Voidvelgr Hecatoncheir (anime)|Voidvelgr Hecatoncheir]]". To Bochi's dismay, Yuhi attempted to produce another Earthdamar for Yudias to use, though Yudias reassured Yuhi he had received his feelings, a sentiment Bochi agreed with. Yuamu later suggested to Manya they could use the broadcast to pacify the townspeople, so Bochi accompanied Manya and London to the bottom of the tower to claim the sights to simply be special effects. However, Zuwijo materialized "[[Voidvelgr Requiem (anime)|Voidvelgr Requiem]]" and clad himself in the monster, spreading the effects of the Earthdamar across the town.<ref name="ep12">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!|12|ref}}</ref> More monsters began to partially materialize, so Manya warned the audience to stay away from their Decks and Duel Disks. To Bochi's shock, [[Asaka Mutsuba]] approached Mutsuba Tower and carved into its side with her massive [[Heavy Cavalry]], extracting the Earthdamar and dematerializing the monsters. Yudias eventually defeated Zuwijo, and Bochi, Manya, and London returned to the top of the tower to find Yuhi had fallen unconscious due to his soul being drawn into "Requiem". After Yuhi awoke he asked if Zuwijo was really a villain, and Yudias claimed Zuwijo was hiding something.<ref name="ep13">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!|13|ref}}</ref>

===Second Arc===
[[Manya Atachi|Manya]] and [[Mutsuba Cable TV]] assisted [[MIK (organization)|MIK]] in covering-up the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel|Rush Duel]] between [[Yudias Velgear|Yudias]] and [[Zuwijo zir Velgear|Zuwijo]]. To Bochi's shock, their broadcast was briefly interrupted by a protestor claiming the destruction hadn't been planned for TV before MIK agents took him away.<ref name="ep14">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!|14|ref}}</ref> Soon afterwards, [[London Kirishima|Kirishima]] disappeared, leaving Bochi and Manya to do his work; [[Yuamu Ohdo|Yuamu]] called to ask to speak to Kirishima, noting his absence was as she had thought and arousing Manya's suspicions.<ref name="ep21">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!|21|ref}}</ref> Bochi also learned something strange was happening in the [[Alien Residential Area]], so he and Manya infiltrated [[Badloon Castle]] and disguised themselves as [[Rovian Bandits]] after Bochi knocked two of the Bandits unconscious with his [[Wicked Fist of the Beloved Dog]] technique. After intruders were discovered in the castle, Bochi and Manya joined the Bandits, including [[Yuna Goha]], on the roof, witnessing [[Rovian Kirishima]] introduce herself to the twins and challenge them to a 2 vs. 1 Rush Duel. Bochi was surprised to learn Rovian shared London's surname, and had to be elbowed to keep his cover by Manya. After Rovian defeated the twins and Yuna drained their [[Duel Power (GO RUSH!!)|Duel Power]], Manya warned the twins to close their eyes before throwing a flashbang, allowing her and Bochi to rescue them and [[Valvelgear]].<ref name="ep22">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!|22|ref}}</ref>

Once they were on the outskirts of Badloon Castle, Manya gave the twins some of her Duel Power to allow them to move and she and Bochi revealed themselves, explaining why they were there. Bochi warned the twins the last train was about to leave and tried to get the twins to board it, but Yuhi refused to leave without Yudias, who had been transformed into a shirt-like form and was still at Badloon Castle.<ref name="ep22" /> With the twins set on rescuing Yudias, Manya reminded them they needed to both do so before the last train arrived and find another way in, as the Rovian Bandits would be be after them, so Bochi suggested cutting through [[Under-Underground Town]], where he had lived before meeting Manya. After Manya and Yuhi noticed a restaurant selling tsukemen, the group stopped to recuperate, abusing the free first bowl policy of the restaurant by feeding tsukemen to the [[Velgearian]]s aboard Valvelgear. Incensed, the chef revealed himself as [[Menjaburo Omori]], a Rovian Bandit, and challenged them to a Rush Duel. Manya accepted the challenge, catching Menjaburo's attention with her knowledge of tsukemen. During the Duel, Bochi explained Manya's monsters and acting was in connection with her role as ''[[Hanako the Naruto]]'' to the Ohdo twins. When it became clear Manya would lose, the twins told Bochi they would sneak away before the Rush Duel ended, and Bochi assisted in distracting Menjaburo by cheering Manya on as she deduced the ingredients in Menjaburo's tsukemen before he defeated her. The twins successfully rescued Yudias, but they missed the last train home, though fortunately Manya had taken the precaution of calling [[MIK (organization)|MIK]]. MIK sent [[Manabu Sogetsu|Manabu]] and [[Nyandestar]] to rescue them with a handcar; Bochi and Yuhi operated the handcar back to the surface.<ref name="ep23">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!|23|ref}}</ref>

Bochi, Manya, Yuamu, Yuhi, Manabu and Nyandestar tried several methods to restore Yudias (though Bochi was largely less than helpful) but initially only succeeded in hiding his condition from Tazaki and Yagi. After they tried reinflating Yudias, Bochi struck the air compressor Manabu had brought, bursting the balloon and blasting Yudias into the sky, and Bochi pursued Yudias with the others, tracking him by the cards that fell from him. Bochi was tasked with finding Yudias' scent after they lost his trail, but took them to a food stall instead, though fortunately they picked up more of Yudias' cards and Bochi claimed credit for leading them there. Eventually they lost track of Yudias near the [[Mutsuba Recycling Plant]], interrupting [[Asaka Mutsuba]]'s lecture on the plant to find Yudias being fed into the recycling machine and coming out as a pair of gloves. Distraught over the loss of Yudias, the group returned to UTS with the gloves and Yudias' cards. Tazaki then arrived with a delivery for Yudias, but before Tazaki could take the gloves, Yudias was restored from the contents of the [[Kappa Heavenly Cleaning]] box, much to Bochi's joy.<ref name="ep24">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!|24|ref}}</ref>

Afterwards, Yudias explained he had transformed naturally from exhaustion when he reached Badloon Castle. The Rovian Bandits then arrived with the intention of purchasing the [[UTS Main Office]], though eventually it was agreed that Yudias would Rush Duel Rovian over whether they would consider her offer. To Bochi's shock, Yudias was only able to use two of his [[Monster Zone]]s due to the thruster Valvelgear had lost at Badloon Castle, but he was able to make a comeback with his own Equip Spell Card, "[[Galactica Xiphos (anime)|Galactica Xiphos]]", which he claimed [[Zuwijo zir Velgear|Zuwijo]] had given him. MIK and the Rovian Bandits soon detected something approaching that Rovian and her [[Chapeauian]] [[Camos]] claimed to be [[The☆Lugh|the Great King of Terror]].<ref name="ep25">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!
