Himura Kenshin
vs.
Zanza

Zanza was "hired" by Hiruma Gohei to fight Kenshin, formerly the Hitokiri Battousai, just after he had met the rurouni briefly at the Akabeko. Zanza accepted the offer immediately, since he had longed for a good opponent for what seemed like eternity. At night, Kenshin had sensed a presence at the Kamiya Dojo. When he went to investigate, he found Zanza waiting at the entrance with his infamous Zanbatou in hand.


Watching was Kaoru and Yahiko. Kaoru identified Zanza's sword quickly and was amazed that a man like him could hold and fight with the weapon so easily. Zanza charged for Kenshin, demanding that he forget his non-killing policy for now. With a mighty downward strike, Zanza tried to crush Kenshin in one hit, but Himura leapt away. Quickly following up his blow, Zanza swung upwards at Kenshin, but missed due to the rurouni's speed. When Kenshin was finally back on the ground, the fight was paused. Zanza could not fight before girls, as Ayame and Suzume walked out to see what was going on, so he scheduled the fight for another time and walked away.
