Kenshin, Kaoru, and Yahiko visit Akabeko, a beef hot-pot restaurant, where a group of democratic rights activists gets into a heated argument. One of them throws a bottle of sake, and it hits Kenshin, causing a commotion. Sanosuke Sagara, who happened to be in the store during the quarrel, stood up and blew away the activists with a single flick to the forehead. Seeing Kenshin's strength, Sanosuke's curiosity is roused and he asks, "You wanna buy a fight from me?"
Zanza, fighter for hire, I've been
looking for tough guys like that!"
،كنتُ أبحث أنا المقاتل المأجور زانزا
!عن رجل قويّ مثله لأقاتله
Ich, der Streithahn Zanza, habe nach
so einem starken Gegner gesucht!“
¡Es el feroz contrincante que yo,
Zanza el Peleador, estaba buscando!
Yo, Zanza el Especialista en Peleas,
estaba buscando un oponente así.
Zanza le bagarreur
ज़ंज़ा, भाड़े का लड़वैया, मैं कब से
उसके जैसे तगड़े बंदे को ढुँढ़ रहा था!"
L'attaccabrighe Zanza cercava proprio
 un guerriero temerario del genere!
O briguento Zanza estava
procurando por alguém assim!

Дзандза, всю жизнь искал»!
