Both have ANBU training, but Zabuza has more experience ninjutsu: Sai's abilities are best suited for short to mid range, while Zabuza's abilities allows for further reach and have proven far more destructive and versatile. close combat: both uses swords, but again Zabuza has longer reach, not to mention the Kubikirihocho as opposed to Sai's butter knife.

everything speaks in Zabuza's favour here, Sai may have the hype of being alive and a major supporting character, but in this fight, he wouldn't survive for long
