Asian warrior is carrying a weird article around (7)
I believe the answer is:
samurai
'asian warrior' is the definition.
(warrior from feudal Japan)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
(Other definitions for samurai that I've seen before include "Seven -, film directed by Kurosawa" , "Caste of Japanese warriors" , "military type" , "Former Japanese military caste member" , "Sudoku variant" .)
