Another point favouring the name Marshal is that the nearest approximation of this in two Japanese characters (the usual name length in Shogi variants) is 'Ma-Sha', meaning Horse Chariot. This sums up the move of the piece rather nicely. While I am making a comment I notice that I have yet to rate this page, so this rating reflects my agreement with the verdict expressed here in favour of Marshal.
