A very enjoyable puzzle. My personal favorite of your Regular Samurais so far, I think.

Here a mini-mini Walktrough:
Hidden Text:
This puzzle can be cracked with a single X-Wing on 9 in g4:r15c18 (green cells). The puzzle then solves with N/H-Singles and one Intersection.
Concurrently there is a diverting X-Wing on 8 in g2:r25c27, which yields no breakthrough eliminations.
