    Incidentally, shouldn't Braunschweig and Reinhard's noble ranks be 
corrected to Duke instead of prince?
    The 4 stroke Chinese character used in my subs (and which the Japanese 
word sounds very suspiciously identical) has historically been used to 
refer to Dukes.  The Duke of Zhou in ancient Chinese history is referred to 
the same way as Reinhard is in the series.
