The name Zap was first used as the term for ''Raidein'', the weakest lightning spell, in the [[NES]] localization of the third game and this was carried forward through the Enix of America era and then into the modern period by Square-Enix's new editorial standards beginning with Dragon Quest VIII. A discrepancy had emerged between the English and Japanese versions as early as Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker, however. This is due to the presence of the ''Dein'' spell, which was first appeared in the original ''Monsters'' spin off title and had not yet appeared in a mainline game at the time. ''Dein'' is a weaker lightning spell whose nomenclature is the diminutive form of ''Raidein''. Because the English word zap cannot be simplified further as it's Japanese counterpart was, the localization team instead redubbed ''Raidein'' as [[Zapple]] to reflect it's new status as the mid-tier lightning spell. | The name Zap was first used as the term for ''Raidein'', the weakest lightning spell, in the [[NES]] localization of the third game and this was carried forward through the Enix of America era and then into the modern period by Square-Enix's new editorial standards beginning with Dragon Quest VIII.
