: He rules over a village from a cathedral with his ''[[Nanto Anshō Ken]]'', using its bell to perform mass hypnosis on the villagers at night and turn them into mindless zombies. He possesses one of the villagers, [[Karen (HNK)|Karen]], and uses her to help kidnap [[Lin]] to use as leverage against [[Kenshiro]].
: Kenshiro ventures into Zaria's lair to rescue Lin, destroying his minions in the process. However, Zaria blackmails Kenshiro with the possessed Lin's life and hypnotizes him. Zaria resurrects his fallen minions, but before they can kill Kenshiro, Lin's cries manage to break the spell. Kenshiro takes out Zaria's hands and kicks him through the ceiling where he's crucified on the steeple and struck to death by lightning, which also destroys the cathedral while he crumbles to dust. After his death, the villagers return to their senses and the village is freed from his curse.

* The appearance of his wig might be inspired by the appearance of the titular antagonist in the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bram_Stoker%27s_Dracula_(1992_film) 1992 film adaptation] of Bram Stoker's Dracula, and his outfit, which consists of a fancy suit and a cape, and his ability to hypnotize others might make him a reference to vampires in general, given that those are two typical traits that vampires have.
* His hair and glasses look nearly identical to [https://akira.fandom.com/wiki/Lady_Miyako Lady Miyako] from the manga and anime movie, Akira.  Although the movie came out in 1988, the manga had been ongoing for several years before Zaria's episode aired.
