This is the SD Blade Gundam released as part of the Shin SD Sengokuden Choukidoutaishougun arc. It's based on the Gundam Spiegel from Mobile Fighter G Gundam, so the signature forearm blades are faithfully reproduced here. On top of Super Mode, it can even pull off Hyper Mode, which wasn't in any of the previous kits.

The sub-mecha is the Big Garuda, built by gathering various parts onto the backpack, and you can also trim it down to just a select few parts to make the Jad Garuda instead. The blades that mount on the forearms can be attached facing either forward or backward, and raising the head antenna then adding the backpack and extra parts gets you Super Mode. From there, raise the blades at the toe tips and spread the shoulders out to achieve Hyper Mode — and as a bonus, the Victory version head, mask, and seals are all included too.

On top of that, there's a head ornament and seals included that can be applied to SD Musha Godmaru's Super Mode, and the Victory version's light armor type is set up to collab with SD Rekkou Gundam's head antenna. True to the series concept, it's significant that Gundam Spiegel got the full Musha treatment here, and overall it comes across as a pretty solid, no-frills SD kit. :-)
