The five grids composing a samurai puzzle can not be deciphered entirely in isolation. Indeed, some boxes can be solved only by using a reasoning concomitantly based on two grids.
This peculiarity is mainly in the beginning and middle of the resolution.

A samurai sudoku problem is symmetrical when the cells that compose it are equally distributed around the central square. This presentation is aesthetic and does not change the way of solving the grid. Indeed, it is the statement of the puzzle that is symmetrical and not its mode of resolution.
