A little April joke puzzle a bit late. Thanks to Aletheia and blueberrypug for testing and feedback. Thanks also to gdc for making the conflict checker work appropriately.
RULES:
Normal Sudoku Rules Apply?
Trick Arrows: Digits on an arrow sum to the digit in the attached circle. Digits MUST repeat on an arrow EVEN IF disallowed by other rules. (Digits on arrows must repeat on that same arrow. Digits on arrows may be in the same row, column, or box as the same digit on the same arrow).
Special Digit: Exactly one digit appears as many times in the grid as its value (e.g. there may be one 1 or six 6s, but not both).

Absolutely baffling in the best way possible. A word to the future solver - essentially add "digits are blind to the other cells sharing the same arrow line (not bulb); Sudoku rules otherwise apply". This was so much fun! Thank you for setting this gem.

I enjoyed it but at the same time I'm left wondering, "What the hell was that?"
Keep up the good work.

This was a lot of fun to solve. (And confusing :))
