Rules
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Digits cannot repeat on the negative diagonal.
Box borders divide each blue line into segments with the same sum.
Along pink lines, digits form a consecutive sequence in any order.
Along green lines, adjacent digits differ by at least 5.
Additionally, digits on lines mirrored by the diagonal form a set of different digits. For example, r4568c7 and r7c4568 are 8 different digits.
Solution code: Column 6

Basic pencil marking and a few digits 3 star. The some 4 star digits then back to 3 star. I thoroughly enjoyed.

I never saw this diagonal mirror before. Is it a totally new rule? A beautiful puzzle as usual. Thank you for setting and sharing this lovely sudoku :)

I never saw a mirror with extra regions, but parity mirror is fairly common.
