Together with Tenshoumaru, released at the same time.

Jyugohmaru is the 5th kit in the 2024 Mashin Sozoden Wataru plastic model series. The basic frame and joint structure are the same as the series' 1st kit, Ryujinmaru — only the outer armor has changed. In the show, it's a unit that teams up with Tenshoumaru.

As you'd expect from a shared frame, it still delivers solid articulation relative to its proportions and stable joint strength. The forearm stores a knife called the Shitsuichi Goken, and the backpack is equipped with a cannon called the Jugoho. The Jugoho can move in various directions — up, down, left, and right — so you can pull off some convincing firing poses both on the ground and in the air.

Since this is such a standardized kit series, all you really need to focus on in this review is the new look. One of the highlights is the solid color separation even without stickers. Either way, the quality is reliable, so if you're a Wataru fan, this should be a pretty fun kit to build. :-)
