So with the latest update, I think it's about time to correct some stuff.

First off, I'll be listing the terms of all the jobs (and I'll throw in the monster race's equivalents too).

勇者 is Yuusha, 英雄 is Eiyuu, and 英勇 is the collective term for both. Similarly, 王 is King, 帝 is Emperor, 帝王 (What was the translation decided for this? Ruler?) is the collective term for both. My memory is getting faulty now, but Kichi's race apparently has the characters for both an Emperor (leading ability, no summoning power) and a King (personal power) while Kanami is an improved Emperor? But there is no one called a  X帝王 as a name (in Kichi's case, he got both characteristics, but isn't called a Minotaur 帝王),

There are also the 救聖 (collective term for both the Savior and the Saints; I suggest translating it as 'Salvation Sage') to consider. The Savior (who Rou refers to as the White Master, probably because 主 means master or lord) is a 救世主 (Savior) while her 2 attendants are called 聖人 (Saint). The Savior's abilities were limited to reinforcing others and to creating her own personal army while the Saints each held great individual abilities.

Yuusha have great personal power, I don't think there's any doubt there, and if they have companions, it's usually limited to a small group. Eiyuu, on the other hand, are the equivalent of Emperors in that their abilities are focused towards leading and empowering others (Although they are still strong themselves). There was doubt about this in the past, but with this latest update, I think it's been made pretty clear. In Rou's list of the Crusade's forces, all the Eiyuu either have no subordinates (but can summon their own, like the Book Hero who summons images of the Holy Kingdom's past heroes to fight for him from his books or the Steel Hero who created golems from steel in the surrounding area) or have a large platoon of them (like the Star Reading Hero's Star Intelligence Corps, the Sand Bull Hero's herd of sand bulls, or the Flying Fish Hero's school of flying fish).

So with this knowledge, it's about time to change the translations for these hero jobs, right? For the others, the terms for the monster race equivalents have already been decided (although I keep forgetting what the accepted translation for 帝王 is here), and I don't think the Savior and Saint translations will get any opposition which only leaves 救聖 needing a settlement for its translation.
