Came here from the CtC Video "Kropki Drops" and this puzzle is just as brilliant. Loved it!

A joy to solve.
I had a moment at the end thinking: Is this a deadly pattern? Can't be! Yes it is… Oh, there's this one arrow that I have not marked as completed.
I love it when the theme constraint keeps giving to the end. Thank you, juggler.

There's a "genre" of juggler sudokus that I call "non-linear constraints" puzzles: those are the puzzles where making the digit on the clue bigger makes the constraints easier to satisfy on a per-cell basis, but more cells need to "comply": so the digit on the cell is pulled by two opposite forces, in both sides. Juggler is the master of these constraints, and I think he's set at least 15 of these puzzles, maybe more. But out of those, I think this one is my favorite. The flow is amazing, and the non-linear constraints play beautiful roles throughout.

P.S. Ok, this is not a classical "non-linear constraint", because actually an 8 on an arrow puts as much pressure on the digits the arrow points to as a 2 on an arrow; but a 5 on an arrow puts way more pressure. So when you go up the digits, the pressure first increases, then decreases, while in a "classical" non-linear constraint puzzle, when you go up the digits, the pressure just decreases. However, solving this feels a lot like solving the classical ones, so I also think of this as a non-linear constraints puzzle.

juggler: that's a really nice observation, thank you for noticing, and all your kind comments on my puzzles <3

Interesting how strong the constraint is, just a few little arrows. Thanks!
