Funny how a few people called the main character a mary-sue/gary-stue and yet the story is 88/11.

88/12 actually, and thanks.

Probably a dislike out of hatred of the story's theme/main character or annoyance that a story got popular even though it looks 'Bad' to them.

I suppose, thanks.
Some basic information, in case one doesn't know:
A 'samurai' swears fealty to their lord, and will do essentially whatever he orders/requests them to do - even if it's immoral (for the time period) or otherwise not something they would've done anyway. For example, if their lord wanted his samurai to prove his loyalty by disposing of his family, the samurai would do that. Furthermore, if their master died or they disgraced themselves, they were to commit seppuku, to uphold their loyalty or restore their honour.
A 'rōnin' has no master, most likely because their former master died, and thus - despite being discriminated against - had to find other ways of making a living, like being a mercenary, bodyguard, or criminal.
One could not be both a 'samurai' and a 'rōnin' at once - and that Samurai Jack character? He's actually a rōnin. Being a samurai was also definitely not the glamorised occupation we envision nowadays.

Yeah, Akira lost his former master, therefore a Ronin, but now has a new one, so a Samurai. Technically, all Ronin are Samurai, but not all samurai are ronin. Anyway, Akira still has an obligation to his master but can’t carry out his orders, therefore Ronin, but he has another ‘master’ now so also samurai.
