		Minamoto was most famous for killing the demon Shuten Doji, whose name pops up in the series as a villain who may eventually have to be confronted.
		Minamoto was also known for subjugating the Tsuchigumo, who have a prominent role in the first three episodes.
		Another point of divergence is that the historical Minamoto was a renowned swordsman, while the Minamoto of this series is instead a renowned archer—though archery is a specialty is more in tune with what was typical of samurai at that time.

		Movement is undertaken through the use of a "boost" move, and combat is mapped to a strong and a weak attack accordingly.
		Moreover, Raiko's health is directly interlinked with combat performance, in that Raiko has two health meters, one meter displays actual health, which is manifested by green orbs.
		Killing enemies quickly and destroying your environment allows Raiko to level up (the maximum level is 31), this improves attack power, magic consumption, jumping height and general speed and handling of Raiko.

		A few critics have suggested that his lamentations over his unhappy fate were unwarranted, for as supernumerary governor general, his salary should have been generous, and in addition, Dazaifu should have been an agreeable place to live, a sophisticated center for foreign diplomacy and local administration.
		No mention was made of Michizane, but at the time the court was dominated by Fujiwara no Tadahira (880-894), another of Tokihiras brothers, who is said to have maintained close ties with Michizane.

	Prints on the Theme of Raiko and the Ground Spider
		Raiko is shown here, as in most such prints, with a yamai hachimaki, a strip of purple cloth bound around his forehead.
		In this light the Ground Spider and his demons are to be seen as representing the spirit of popular revolt, while the sick Raiko is the ineffectual Shogun, and the warriors represent hard-hearted ministers and the Chief Censor.
		An amusing detail of prints on this subject is that the players are shown as being so engrossed in their game that the goblins seem no more than a trivial nuisance, hardly worse than those kibitzers in a go club who keep breathing down your neck while they point out your mistakes.
