U.A. Penalty Box

 This card is based on the penalty box, which is used in certain sports such as hockey or rugby. Players who have incurred penalties, but have not been expelled from the game, sit there for a given amount of time until they are allowed to come back in.

This purpose is referenced in this card's effect: the opposing monster is penalized when it attacks, and is banished for two turns (or is sent to the penalty box for a two-turn time-out).
