-'''''DoDonPachi SaiDaiOuJou''''' <small>(怒首領蜂最大往生 "Angry Leader Bee True Death", abbreviated: '''DDP SDOJ''' or just '''SDOJ''')</small> is the seventh game developed in the [[:Category:DonPachi series|''Donpachi'' series]], and the sixth developed by [[CAVE]]. This game was intended to be the final arcade game that CAVE would release. Unlike its predecessor ''[[DoDonPachi DaiFukkatsu]]'', which had a heavy emphasis on bullet canceling using the "Hyper Counter" mechanic, ''SaiDaiOuJou'' was designed to be mechanically simpler, with more focus on raw bullet dodging. As the name suggests, ''SaiDaiOuJou'' has many mechanical similarities to ''[[DoDonPachi DaiOuJou]]''.

 SDOJ saw a "Version 1.5" release on the XBOX 360 in order to fix perceived issues with the scoring mechanics in the original game, as well as a brand new ''Xbox 360 Mode'' with new mechanics and an increased focus on story and characters.  The XBOX 360 port also features an option to disable the infamous GP "overflow" bug in the original game, which allows for extremely large point gain in a short amount of time when triggered.

 A limited-release mobile game based on ''SaiDaiOuJou'', known as ''DoDonPachi Ichimen-Bancho,'' was also produced. Originally available for iOS, it has since become unavailable to download. Though reusing many assets and mechanics, it is a dramatically different game.
