Normal Sudoku rules apply.
The values of digits inside the black dot (i.e. box 5) are double their normal values.
KILLER - Digits in a cage do not repeat, and their values sum to the number in the cage's upper left corner.
LITTLE KILLER - Values on indicated diagonals sum to the number by the arrow.
RENBAN - Values on a pink line form a consecutive non-repeating set in any-order.
Note: The structure of cages/renbans under the black dot is a mystery, and is up to you to discover.
Solution code: Row 9

Quite brilliant. A reward from beginning to end of the solve.

Thank you, that was super enjoyable! To me it felt more like 2-3 stars.

I believe the following should be included in the rules:
1). Killer cages may not overlap.
2). Killer cages must be orthogonally connected.

one of the digits in box five, or all of the digits in box five? The phrasing of the rule is confusing. Thanks!

Cannot understand why the ratings are under 90% - until now… This is a masterpiece! Thank you so much for sharing and setting this gem.

Ten minutes to place the first digit and I laughed out loud at how satisfying it was. A stunning puzzle - the way the renban line works is incredible.

This has to be one of the all-time great puzzles.

Very classy, some unique logic in there, and visuals. Like always, a great puzzle from a great setter <3

This is a top ten in my lifetime sudoku. I will be thinking about my reaction to [REDACTED] for months if not years.
