Fig: Kuromitsu bag structure. Includes DPC Recovery, which involves placing the extra piece in a specific spot compatible with a DPC setup.

Kuromitsu is not 100% build cover on Bag 1. Use a fallback setup such as 8L PC Openers or 1st PC when Kuromitsu isn't buildable.

Gamushiro & friends Bag 1 setups marked with ⭐ have 100% build cover and 100% recovery rate into 100% DPC setups.
You must learn (build + recovery, not all solves) a fallback setup in order to always be able to loop using Kuromitsu.

From Bag 2 onwards Kuromitsu setups marked with ⭐ have 100% combined build cover and 100% recovery rate into 100% DPC setups.
You must learn these setups in order to always be able to loop using Kuromitsu.

Kuromitsu Bag 1

Kuromitsu 7p: 89.13% with mirror (83.10% without mirror).
New Moon Cannon 6p (Hold S): 43.33% with mirror (33.33% without mirror).

Fallback Bag 1 Setup

Due to shared Bag 2 forms, Kisaragi Stacking is recommended to use as fallback setup for Kuromitsu.
You must learn (build + recovery, not all solves) Bag 2 setups marked with ⭐ for your fallback Bag 1 setups in order to be able to loop using that combination.

Honey Cup Solve

⭐ Honey Cup Solve

⭐🩹 Honey Cup Complementary Recovery (2)

To be used in combination with Minimals. These recoveries cover all the fail queues.

⭐ Honey Cup Minimals (14)

Space divisions make finding solves simpler:

When T comes in the middle of the bag, it's sometimes possible to get the spin after skimming.
Skim in a way that creates a hole ready for the O piece to be placed last on top of the T slot.
Hold O until T has been placed:

When T comes too late, you'll often need to skim the top rows first.
Skim in a way that blocks off the T slot, ready for T to be placed last once the top rows have been resolved.
Here O cannot be used to resolve the space above the T slot because it would fall through.
Hold O or place O on the other side instead:

Honey Cup can sometimes be upgraded to Kisaragi Stacking potential TSS+Tet solve if you can spot a good queue:

(🩹 Honey Cup Full Recovery (5))

A full recovery route with 5 minimals exists.
While you never need most of these in practice, they're good to know if you make a mistake of to get a better save.
