KING
The one who controls the country is the absolute monarch!
Louis XIV of France

The king is the one who stands at the very top. The famous saying "I am the state" that Louis XIV of France leaves behind underlies Atobe's words and actions.
<-- The king takes the attitude of looking down on others, but staying majestic is also a must. He does not believe he is being arrogant.
Rokkaku: All right, with 20 minutes left, even Hyoutei only has Atobe-sama left!
--> Because of that majesty, he is normally addressed with the -sama suffix.
EMPEROR
The king among kings, that is the emperor!
Emperor Shi
B.C.259~B.C.210
The king among kings, that is the emperor. The tyrant that was the first to successfully unite China in history, Qin Dynasty's Emperor Shi, is easy to see in Sanada.
Sanada: We came to take back the throne!
<-- For a man who continuously accepts nohting less than victory, he can only be called the emperor.
Rikkaidai! Rikkaidai! Rikkaidai! Rikkaidai! Rikkaidai! Rikkaidai! Rikkaidai! Rikkaidai!
--> Because he is unashamed of his nickname, he is able to boldy accept the chants.
