Ah yes, de gozaru! Basically, this word doesn't really have a meaning, but it is almost like the English verb "to be"/"be". It's an indirect form of the word gozaimasu (from arigatou gozaimasu or ohayou gozaimasu). Kenshin uses this term in an very polite way, but it's not formal....it's polite but friendly. It's not used in modern Japanese anymore...instead they use desu (like in watashi wa ureshii desu (I'm very happy)).

Oh, I'm sorry, I thought you meant for Zero's words because you didn't directly state it regarding my terms. Yeah, I changed it because I just realized that I didn't do it. So sorry!
