Samurai with no master

RONIN

Not available

A "samurai with no master" refers to a ronin, a term from feudal Japan for a warrior left without a lord after their master’s death or fall from power. The word ronin literally translates to "wave man," suggesting someone adrift like a leaf on water, which fits the idea of a masterless samurai. It’s a well-known cultural reference in Japanese history and pop culture, like films or games featuring lone swordsmen. The clue is straightforward—no wordplay—just a direct definition.
