Foe Raikan makes his appearance at the end of Scenario 5. He is determined to put an end to the shenanigans of that young rapscallion of a Dousen and his Enchanted Caves nonsense!

Problem is, our inserted translation refers to Raikan as "Shogun", while Dag's FAQ calls him "General Raikan". We may have had this discussion around four years ago,
but since "Shogun" is a Japanese word, and Chaos Seed is set in China, should we possibly find a substitute title for Raikan that fits the location?

将軍 （spoken Shougun) can also mean general, and not nessesarily a japanese shogun. By the way, those kanji are also used in Chinese (spoken Jiaangjuun) and mean, you guessed it, general. xD
So just go with that translation ;)

Having watched plenty of Chinese movies, the military leaders are almost always referred to as generals in the subtitles.

Well, fellows, I believe I'll go with your "general" consensus, hee-hee...!
