In this puzzle, there is at least one of the three extra regions from the previous puzzles in the same location and with the same shape that must contain the full set of digits 1-9. Additionally, at least one of the nine disjoint groups (cells in the same relative position in boxes) must contain the full set of digits 1-9.

Beautiful puzzle, I especially liked the constraint that there had to be at least one disjoint group, which led to some nice interactions. Thanks!
