==Localization history== | |||
The Japanese spell ''Raidein'' was previously localized as ''Zap'' for the English adaptations of the series, until the introduction of a third spell to the lightning class in Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker. This new spell, ''Dein'', is akin to [[Sizz]] and [[Crack]] in terms of power and how early a character learns it in an adventure, bumping Raidein up to being a mid-tier spell. Because the English word Zap cannot be simplified as it's Easter-equivalent was, the localization department instead opted to have the word Zapple refer to Raidein in any game in which Dein is present. | |||
For older titles that were localized after the introduction of Dein, such as ''[[Dragon Quest VI]]'', Zap continues to be used for Raidein to adhere to the three-stage naming convention for spells seen in square-enix's translation process as there is no intermediate spell to add the "-le" suffix to between Zap and Kazap. | |||
