Together with SD Yami Koutei

This kit is the final boss of SD Sengokuden Tenka Touitsu-hen — the SD Kuromajin Yami Koutei. In terms of lore, it's a combined form of the Kuromajin from the past and the Yami Koutei from the future, and it feels like a kind of expansion set where Kuromajin parts have been added on top of the existing SD Yami Koutei kit. Unusually for an SD kit, it leaves 2 leftover parts.

Basically, it splits into the front section (Kuromajin) and the rear section (Yami's main body). Kuromajin is essentially the existing Yami Koutei with the arms swapped out for large claw arms and a structure added to the back. Kuromajin combines with Yami's main body in a Yami-transformed state — like Yami Koutei's monster mode — and the end result is a Kuromajin Yami Koutei that looks like a giant cockroach (...)

On top of that, the spring-loaded projectile-firing gimmick carries over from Yami Koutei's Kokuseiho, and those big claw arms do allow for some pretty menacing poses. Sure, the grotesque look will be a love-it-or-hate-it thing, but if you're a fan of Tenka Touitsu-hen, this is definitely a kit worth building. :-)
