Walkthrough for yesterday's supersized Nurimisaki: https://youtu.be/cW6XHOBxXYo

Unfortunately, irregular grid shapes are in short supply right now, with Cairo Pentagonal imports down 20%. So instead, here are four completely independent 5x5 Portal Loop puzzles, merged into one conglomerate.

Rules: Draw a non-intersecting loop through the centers of all cells. When the loop enters a portal with a number, it must teleport to the corresponding portal and continue in the same direction.

Note: Portals must be used exactly once, i.e. you cannot pass through a portal multiple times.

This genre has appeared a couple of times before. Here are the portals leading to the puzzles. It's virtually indistinguishable from magic.
