Somebody's busted open the lid on this creepy looking box. Hopefully you can repair it before something bad happens?
Normal Sudoku rules apply.
Each purple line contains a set of consecutive, non-repeating digits, which can appear in any order.
Digits connected by an X or V must sum to 10 or 5, respectively. Not every X and V is given.
Solution code: Col 1

Oof! Hard work. Nice puzzle. Agree about the thick purple lines. Thanks!

Very nice construction! Only comment would be that the purple lines make it a nightmare to see the digits over the top of. The thinner, lighter color of typical renban work a lot better
