From Memorial Collection to EAST BLUE: How One Piece Extra Boosters Revisit the Past (EB-01, EB-02, EB-06)

EB-01 Memorial Collection: The First Extra Booster

エクストラブースター メモリアルコレクション【EB-01】 is where the product line starts. The Japanese page prints a release of Saturday, January 27, 2024, ¥220 per pack (tax included), 6 cards per pack and 61 types in total. Its rarity line reads Leader 3, Common 28, Rare 21, Super Rare 8 and Secret Rare 1 — among EB-01 to EB-05, whose rarity rows are published, the only one with no Special Card or DON!! line; EB-06’s breakdown is not published as of November 9, 2026.

The official copy is short. It calls EB-01 the first Extra Booster, says the set contains cards that strengthen the various decks that had appeared up to then, and announces three new multicolour Leader cards. The set name itself, Memorial Collection, carries the backward-looking idea: a set that revisits what the game had already printed rather than starting a new story chapter.

On the English (NA/EU) site, the set is EXTRA BOOSTER -MEMORIAL COLLECTION- [EB-01], released May 3, 2024 at USD $4.49 per pack. That English edition page prints "24 packs per box" and 12 cards per pack for the English product; the Japanese page prints 6 cards per pack and no pack-per-box line.

For East Blue readers, EB-01 includes a green Sanji Rare, EB01-014, on the official card list. In our reading, the "memorial" idea was about deck support across the whole game so far, not about the early arcs in particular.

Every card in the set is on our EB-01 card list page.

EB-03 to EB-05: Heroines and the Egghead Arc

Between the anniversary set and EAST BLUE, the line changed direction twice.

ONE PIECE Heroines Edition [EB-03] (Saturday, October 25, 2025, ¥220, 71+4 types) put the heroines in the leading role, with a new Leader Nefeltari Vivi, nine SP cards and four DON!! cards using the package illustration. Its rarity line reads Leader 1, Common 29, Rare 21, Super Rare 9, Secret Rare 2, Special Card 9 and DON!! 4.

EGGHEAD CRISIS [EB-04] (Saturday, January 31, 2026, ¥220, 67+1 types) was centred on the Egghead arc, with a new Leader Jewelry Bonney and Koby (EB04-044) as the Super Parallel card. Its rarity line reads SP 6, Leader 1, Secret Rare 1, Super Rare 9, Rare 21, Common 29 and DON!! 1. Our EB-04 vs EB-06 comparison covers the two story-arc sets in detail.

Heroines Edition vol.2 [EB-05] (Saturday, October 31, 2026, ¥240, 75+2 types) returned to the heroines, with a new Leader Nico Robin (EB05-010) and a parallel drawn by Kentaro Yabuki, the creator of To LOVE-Ru. Its rarity line reads Leader 7, Common 29, Rare 21, Super Rare 9, Secret Rare 1, Special Card 8 and DON!! 2. It was also the first Extra Booster at ¥240 per pack.

None of the three is a nostalgia set in the EB-01/EB-02 sense. The heroine sets are organised around a character group across the whole story, and EB-04 around a recent arc. That is why EB-06’s copy stands out when you read it after them.

Our Reading: EB-06 and the Nostalgia Line

This section is our interpretation, not an official statement. Bandai’s pages do not group Extra Boosters into lines, and they do not say EB-06 is related to EB-01 or EB-02.

We read EB-06 as a return to the nostalgia line that EB-01 and EB-02 started, for three reasons that all come from the official copy:

1. The word itself. The Japanese promise uses 懐かし (nostalgic) — many nostalgic characters appear. EB-02’s anniversary copy is the closest earlier match in tone.
2. The deck-support phrasing. EB-01’s page talks about cards that strengthen the various decks released so far; EB-06’s page asks players to strengthen a range of decks with early-days characters. Both pages put deck support at the centre of the theme.
3. Looking back to the start. EB-01 revisited the card game’s first years, EB-02 revisited the anime’s 25 years, and EB-06 names the sea where the story began. Each points backwards rather than at the newest arc.

What this reading does not mean is just as important. It does not mean EB-06 reprints EB-01 or EB-02 cards, uses anime illustrations, or contains any particular character; none of that is published. It also does not make EB-06 a sequel to those sets in any official sense. If Bandai’s rarity row and card list later point in another direction, the official page wins.

A second reading is equally defensible: EB-06 is a story-arc set like EB-04, only for the oldest arc instead of a recent one. We hold both views, and they are not in conflict — East Blue is an arc, and the official copy also looks back to “the early days”.

Japanese and English Dates for the Nostalgia Sets

The English (NA/EU) editions of the three sets follow different schedules:

For EB-01 and EB-02, the English edition followed the Japanese one by a few months. For EB-06, the English edition is listed one day before the Japanese release. The English pack image for EB-06 prints "12-Card Booster Pack"; that applies to the English edition only, while the Japanese edition is 6 cards per pack. For the full comparison, see EB-06 Japanese vs English.

Collectors who follow the Japanese edition have one practical reason to care: EB-01 and EB-02 boxes in Japanese are their own products with their own card lists, and they remain the way to open those exact Japanese printings.
