Over time, Zaiki became part of the repertoire of royal praise and greetings associated with Esan kings. Its use is linked to the memory of the Battle of Akota and the bravery of the Esan warriors who fought against the invaders.

To this day, Zaiki evokes the strength, courage, and royal authority of Esan kings. Its story, as preserved in this historical account, connects royal tradition with the memory of Akota and the warriors who defended Esanland.
