It suddenly occurred to me - 'hyaku' is 'one hundred' in Japanese, and Zabusa is infamous for starting his career with a massacre of 100. Then, later, he saves Haku from abandonment and effectively adopts him... notice how close the name and the number are? I was wonering how I could justify Rikou expecting her Uncle Zabu to be a nice guy when everyone knows how viscous he is - somehow her other found about about it and told her and she's taken that as his regret for those hundred, adopting an orphan and calling him 'Hundred" as atonement. His attempted takeover of the Mist was just to change the prevailing culture that led to such a thing, becasue he too has come to cherish and nurture the boundless spirit of youth as personified in Haku! OH HAKU NECHAN, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHOWING UNCLE ZABU THE PROPER WAY OF A NINJA, TO CARE ABOUT HIS COMRADES!
