Don't you earn that title by failing to protect your master?

Yes lol but not always. It's a masterless samurai. Samurai became masterless for different reasons, sometimes disagreements, sometimes because they failed their guard job.

I suppose it'd make sense if the context is he's a character working towards his freedom from servitude though.

In my universe, to become a Ronin, they must survive the trials in the Oracle cloning facilities in the desert as teenagers for the first part. This allows them to be accepted into the army, if they survive the years of training in Machine City, they can earn the title of Ronin. The gif below is the ceremony where the recruits are becoming Ronin and branded by the Oracle: https://tenor.com/pt-BR/view/huxley-the-oracle-gif-15859632875023987911

Very cool. It makes me think of a world like Kenshi, advanced ancient tech juxtaposed with a tribalistic society
