The front head antenna is a combined form of Bakushinmaru Daishogun's and Muchamaru Shogun's horns.

To complete the combination, you need to attach the front armor section separately.

Choushou Bakki and Muchamaru Shogun form the two legs by combining the foot and thigh parts together.

Arrange and combine them as shown above to complete Trinity Diashogun.

You can also combine the weapons into the configuration shown above.

In Trinity Diashogun, you can swap Muchamaru Shogun (left leg) with Bakushinmaru Daishogun (body).

The articulation on all 3 units doesn't stray too far from the usual SD level.

This kit is the final entry in the SD Gundam Musha Maruden 3 series — the SD Trinity Diashogun. It's also commonly known as the Trinity Daishogun, and true to its name, it's a set of 3 Musha Gundams that combine together.

Basically, it can be separated into 3 units — Bakshinhwan Daejanggoon, Chojang Poka, and Mucho Hwansang-gun — and by detaching and recombining the weapons from these 3 kits, you can form the Bonghwang Saje Daejanggoon. The most unique feature of this kit is that all 3 units are modularized identically despite having different designs, so you can rotate the torso / left leg / right leg between them.

When Bakshinhwan Daejanggoon serves as the body, you get Bonghwang Saje Daejanggoon; swap in Mucho Hwansang-gun as the body and you get Yadol Hwa Daejanggoon; use Chojang Poka as the body and it becomes Yeolgu-ri Daejanggoon. Sure, swapping them around requires a fair bit of tedious separation and combination work, but the concept of combining in so many different configurations feels pretty fresh. On top of that, there's a bonus where you can gather the weapons from each kit to form the Bonghwang Rochi-ui (Trilogy) configuration, and you can also bulk up the armaments by pooling them all together.

That said, the leg articulation does get pretty limited after combining due to the combination gimmicks, which is a bit of a shame — but the locking points are well designed, so the combined form stays nice and solid. All in all, as the kit that wraps up the Maruzen series, the fact that it combines so sturdily in a variety of configurations through a rotation system makes this a really unique and fun kit. :-)
