Meaning Hint Radical
master/mainly DOINK ON TOP
king NO DOT ON TOP

主(master) . . . is king (王) with a little doink on top. After much deliberation, I have decided that master OF PUPPETS is just a little bit better than King Diamond. . . . therefore
Master is better, so master gets the EXTRA LINE for EXTRA ROCKIN'!
