 ==Localization history==
-The Japanese spell ''Raidein'' was previously localized as ''[[Zap]]'' for the English adaptations of the series, until the localization of ''[[Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker]]'' in 2007, which featured a lightning spell weaker than Raidein. This 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 Eastern equivalent was, the localization department instead opted to have the word Zapple refer to Raidein in any game in which Dein is present.
+This spell was originally named [[Zap]]. However, with the arrival of a lower-tier ''Dein'' spell, they moved the name Zap to that one, and renamed ''Raidein'' Zapple.
-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]]. An exception is ''[[Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai]]'', where ''Raidein'' is translated as "Zapple" in the manga and its anime adaptation, but "Zap" in spinoff media (which extends to derived techniques like [[Raidein Strash]]).
