Interesting. The main difference is that the Emperor from Maka Dai Dai / Tai Shogi could capture the enemy royal if it was unprotected. Then you would not need a piece as strong as a Kraken to checkmate it (although these games did have Hook Movers, which on an near-empty board almost do the same), as you would win after baring it.
Personally I don't think that such a super-powerful royal is a good idea; it makes checkmating in the middle-game virtually impossible, so that every game would need to go on until a late end-game is reached. Especially for a game as large as Tai Shogi that seems a very bad idea.
