Opening with a fight, a man beats up twenty. As the defeated beg for mercy, he leaves in search of a stronger opponent. Back at the dojo, Yahiko is delightfully whining for the local Akabeko, and Kaoru obliges. At the hot pot, a few loud drunkards hit Kenshin in the back of the head accidentally. In their drunken stupor, they also hit a waitress, causing the stranger to step forward. Another fight starts outside of the Akabeko but is quickly subdued but the unknown man. He inquires about Himura's head and promptly leaves. Later we see the man eating with someone, discussing a Job. The other man is Gohei Himura, hiring the Fighter for hire to rid of Kenshin. After continued dialogue we learn that Zanza's weapon is a Zanbato(a 10 foot sword). Zanza accepts and walks into the night
