What Are the Key Facts About OP-05 Awakening of the New Era?
OP-05 is a booster set called Awakening of the New Era in English, released in Japan on August 26, 2023, and its official rarity lines add up to 127 card types. The table below puts the names, dates and contents in one place, with the official pages as sources.
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| English name | BOOSTER PACK -AWAKENING OF THE NEW ERA- [OP-05] (official English page) |
| Japanese name | ブースターパック 新時代の主役【OP-05】 (official Japanese page) |
| Set code | OP-05 (OP05) |
| Edition covered here | Japanese edition |
| Japanese release date | August 26, 2023 |
| English release date | December 8, 2023 |
| Japanese price per pack | 220 yen, tax included, manufacturer’s suggested retail price |
| Card types | The rarity lines add up to 127 (the English page writes 126+1) |
| Parallel cards | 27 types plus 1 type of parallel illustration cards |
| Box contents | 24 packs, 6 cards per pack, 144 cards (OP-05 Japanese Booster Box (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order)) |
The set commemorates the first anniversary of the game. The official page says it includes an illustration drawn by Eiichiro Oda, and it lists a 1st Anniversary Special Card as its own rarity line.
Where Does Gear 5 Luffy Fit in OP-05?
Gear 5 Luffy is one of the four characters Bandai names on the OP-05 pages, and our booster box listing calls Gear 5 Luffy (Nika) a key card of the set. The Japanese page names Gear 5 Luffy first, while the English page lists God Enel first and writes GEAR5 Luffy third. The official pages do not say which card number belongs to Gear 5 Luffy, so this guide does not assign one.
What the sources do give is the pool of numbers Bandai highlights when it names Gear 5 Luffy, Enel, Sabo and Kaido: op05-001p, op05-002p, op05-007, op05-022p, op05-041p, op05-060p, op05-069_sp, op05-074_sp, op05-098p, op05-100, op05-118, op05-119 and op05-119_sp. The English page writes the names as God Enel, Sabo, GEAR5 Luffy and Kaido.
For a collector, that means the Gear 5 Luffy hunt sits inside the same structure as every other top slot: a small number of Secret Rare designs, a layer of parallels, and random packing. The sections below break down each layer so you know what exists before you open a box or search for singles.
What Rarity Tiers Does OP-05 Have, and How Many Cards Sit in Each?
OP-05 has nine rarity lines, and their counts add up to 127 card types. The table lists them as printed on the official Japanese page, and the English page prints the same figures.
| Rarity line | Card types | Share of the sum |
|---|---|---|
| Leader Card | 6 | about 4.7% |
| Common | 45 | about 35.4% |
| Uncommon | 30 | about 23.6% |
| Rare | 26 | about 20.5% |
| Super Rare | 10 | about 7.9% |
| Secret Rare | 2 | about 1.6% |
| Special Card | 6 | about 4.7% |
| DON!! Card | 1 | about 0.8% |
| 1st Anniversary Special Card | 1 | about 0.8% |
| Sum of the lines | 127 | 100% |
The share column counts card designs in the rarity lines. It says nothing about how often a card appears in a pack, and we do not publish pull rates. Commons and Uncommons together make up 75 of the 127 types. The remaining 52 are Rare and above, leaders, and the special lines.
If you read “top-tier” as everything above Rare, that is 6 leaders, 10 Super Rares, 2 Secret Rares, 6 Special Cards, 1 DON!! Card and 1 anniversary card: 26 card types. The two Secret Rares and the seven special-line cards (6 Special Cards plus the anniversary card) are the slots this guide covers in detail. Super Rares and leaders matter here only where they have parallel versions.
How Many OP05 Secret Rare Cards Are in OP-05?
There are 2 Secret Rare card types in OP-05, according to both the Japanese and English official pages. That is the whole Secret Rare line for the base set, before any parallel-art versions are counted.
The official pages do not tie a rarity to each individual card number, so this guide does not either. Treat the named ID list above as the set’s showcase numbers, not as a Secret Rare list.
Two numbers at the end of that list, op05-118 and op05-119, are the highest card numbers named. Op05-119 appears twice on the Japanese list, once as op05-119 and once as op05-119_sp.
Why the Secret Rare count looks small
Two Secret Rare types in a set of 127 rarity-line card types is a narrow line, and the alternate-art parallels are where most of the extra variety sits. The Japanese page counts 27 types of parallel cards plus 1 type of parallel illustration cards, so the parallel layer is 28 designs against 2 Secret Rare designs. For a collector building a full set, the parallel layer is the larger project.
The booster box product page describes Secret Rares among the rarities, with alternate-art parallels. Our product description names Gear 5 Luffy (Nika), Trafalgar Law, Sabo and Eustass Kid as the key and chase cards, which is useful when you decide what to hunt for, but it is a shop description rather than a Bandai rarity list.
What Are the 6 Special Cards and the 1st Anniversary Special Card?
OP-05 has 6 Special Cards and 1 separate 1st Anniversary Special Card, and Bandai counts them as different rarity lines. Together they make 7 of the 127 card types.
The set commemorates the first anniversary of the game. The Japanese page states that the set includes an illustration drawn by Eiichiro Oda, and it lists the 1st Anniversary Special Card as its own line with a count of 1. The English page repeats the count as 1st Anniversary Special Card x1 and adds that the 1st Anniversary Tournament starts December 8, the English release date.
The DON!! Card line also has a count of 1. It is a separate line from the Special Cards, so a checklist that merges the two will be off by one.
| Special-line slot | Count | What the official pages say |
|---|---|---|
| Special Card | 6 | Listed as its own rarity line on both official pages |
| 1st Anniversary Special Card | 1 | Listed as its own line; the set commemorates the first anniversary and includes an illustration drawn by Eiichiro Oda |
| DON!! Card | 1 | Listed as its own line, separate from the Special Cards |
| Combined | 8 | 6 + 1 + 1 card types |
The pages do not give the card numbers of the Special Cards, so a number-by-number Special Card checklist cannot be built from the official sources. Use the counts above as the reference when you read any third-party checklist: for the base set, the official lines are 6 Special Cards and 1 anniversary card.
What Are the Super Parallel Cards in OP-05?
OP-05 has three super parallel types: op05-069_sp, op05-074_sp and op05-119_sp. The official page calls this a first for a booster pack, since previous booster packs had one type.
The English page lists the same three IDs under Super Parallel cards. The Japanese named-card list also includes the plain number op05-119 next to op05-119_sp, but the sources do not describe how the two relate, so this guide treats them as two separate entries on the list.
| Card ID | Listed as | Listed on |
|---|---|---|
| op05-069_sp | Super parallel | Japanese and English official pages |
| op05-074_sp | Super parallel | Japanese and English official pages |
| op05-119_sp | Super parallel | Japanese and English official pages |
The “first for a booster pack” claim is Bandai’s own wording, and the contrast is three types now against one type before. The practical point for collectors is that a complete OP-05 parallel collection needs three super parallel slots, not one.
Which Leader Parallels Come Back in OP-05?
Six leader parallel IDs are listed for OP-05: op05-001p, op05-002p, op05-022p, op05-041p, op05-060p and op05-098p. Bandai says original-art leader parallel cards return in this set.
The English page adds that leader parallel cards from the ROMANCE DAWN and PARAMOUNT WAR manga-illustration sets return in this release. The set has 6 Leader Cards, and 6 leader parallel IDs are listed, though the sources do not state a one-to-one pairing, so do not assume one.
| Group | Card IDs |
|---|---|
| Leader parallels (English page) | op05-001p, op05-002p, op05-022p, op05-041p, op05-060p, op05-098p |
| Super parallels (both pages) | op05-069_sp, op05-074_sp, op05-119_sp |
| Other numbers on the Japanese named-card list | op05-007, op05-100, op05-118, op05-119 |
Thirteen IDs appear on the Japanese named-card list. Counting the three groups above gives 6 + 3 + 4 = 13, which is a quick check that you have copied the list correctly.
Which Characters Headline the OP-05 Rare Slots?
Gear 5 Luffy, Enel, Sabo and Kaido are the four characters Bandai names on the OP-05 pages. The English page writes the names as God Enel, Sabo, GEAR5 Luffy and Kaido.
Our product description for the booster box names a slightly different set of key cards: Gear 5 Luffy (Nika), Trafalgar Law, Sabo and Eustass Kid. Both lists agree on Gear 5 Luffy and Sabo. They are written by different parties for different purposes, so use Bandai’s list when you want the official headline characters and ours when you want the cards named on the box listing.
| Character | Named by Bandai | Named in our box description |
|---|---|---|
| Gear 5 Luffy | Yes (GEAR5 Luffy on the English page) | Yes (Gear 5 Luffy (Nika)) |
| Sabo | Yes | Yes |
| Enel | Yes (God Enel on the English page) | No |
| Kaido | Yes | No |
| Trafalgar Law | No | Yes |
| Eustass Kid | No | Yes |
The sources do not say which card number belongs to which character, so this guide does not map names to numbers. If you want the full card-by-card view, our OP-05 card list and the OP-05 parallel and SP rows article cover the rows, and the OP-05 chase cards article covers the cards collectors chase.
How Do the Japanese and English OP-05 Releases Differ?
The Japanese edition came first, on August 26, 2023, and the English edition followed on December 8, 2023. The rarity counts on the two official pages are the same.
| Point | Japanese edition | English edition |
|---|---|---|
| Release date | August 26, 2023 | December 8, 2023 |
| Price per pack | 220 yen, tax included | USD $4.49 |
| Card types stated | Rarity lines add up to 127 | 126+1 |
| Parallel types stated | 27 types plus 1 type of parallel illustration cards | 27+1 types of parallel design cards |
| Rarity counts | Leader 6, Common 45, Uncommon 30, Rare 26, Super Rare 10, Secret Rare 2, Special Card 6, DON!! 1, Anniversary 1 | Identical |
| Name | New Era Protagonist [OP-05] in Japanese | Awakening of the New Era [OP-05] |
The Japanese page gives the rarity list but no separate card-count figure, and the English page writes 126+1. The rarity lines sum to 127, so use that sum as your working checklist total and treat the English 126+1 as that page’s way of presenting the count. The English page also says cards are tournament legal from the pre-release date in your region.
Both official pages carry a note that illustrations and details may differ from the final product, and the Japanese page adds that specifications may change. The price figures are manufacturer’s suggested retail prices per pack, not what a box sells for at retail today. For the live box price, see the OP-05 Booster Box product page (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order).
What Do You Get in an OP-05 Booster Box?
A Japanese OP-05 booster box contains 24 booster packs with 6 cards per pack, which is 144 cards. Every card is randomly packed, so no specific Secret Rare or special card is promised.
The booster box page lists 127 card types with 8 Leader Cards, while the official pages count 6 Leader Cards. For rarity counts, use the official figures in the table earlier in this guide.
The product page says individual card pulls are not guaranteed. That is the honest framing for the Secret Rare slots: the official counts tell you what exists, and the box gives you random draws from it. Our OP-05 booster box contents and shipping article and the OP-05 booster box buying guide go deeper on the box.
Regular box or damaged box?
The regular box is the sealed, undamaged listing, and the OP-05 Damaged Box is a discounted listing with cosmetic damage to the outer box, such as dents or scratches. The product page says the cards inside are unaffected.
The damaged box is sold as-is. The page says the photos are samples, that the first image shows the regular product so you can identify the set, and that the actual item may differ from the photos. It also says we do not respond to inquiries about this item, and that returns and refunds are not accepted. Read that before you order.
The page explains where these boxes come from: the Tokyo warehouse buys large volumes of Japanese trading cards every day, staff inspect every item against defined condition standards, and boxes that cannot be sold as mint-condition products are separated from regular stock and offered at a lower price.
How Does Shipping and Payment Work for an OP-05 Box?
We ship from Tokyo by FedEx, with Standard shipping through FedEx International Connect Plus and Expedited shipping through FedEx International Priority. Both include a tracking number, and the cost is calculated at checkout from your delivery address.
| Item | What the shipping policy says |
|---|---|
| Standard shipping | FedEx International Connect Plus, usually 3-7 business days after dispatch |
| Expedited shipping | FedEx International Priority, usually 2-5 business days after dispatch |
| Handling time | Most orders are processed and shipped within 5 business days after PayPal or Wise payment has cleared |
| Minimum order | No minimum order amount or quantity |
| Address | FedEx cannot deliver to P.O. Boxes; provide a physical address |
Those transit times are estimates only, and the handling window is also an estimate. Customs inspections and import procedures after handoff to FedEx can delay delivery, and the shipping policy says such transit delays are outside our control. The full terms are on the shipping policy page.
Check your address before you pay. While an order is paid and its shipment has not yet been scheduled, you can update the shipping address yourself from My Account > Orders. The destination country and the shipping method cannot be changed. If dispatch is delayed, the policy says we will contact you by email with a revised estimate, and for significant delays before handoff to FedEx we may offer the option to wait or to cancel with a full refund.
All payments are made in Japanese yen. Wise bank transfer carries no payment processing fee, while PayPal and credit or debit cards through PayPal carry a 5% payment processing fee. Cards accepted through PayPal are Visa, Mastercard, American Express and JCB, with the options offered decided by PayPal. For Wise, the payment deadline depends on whether you upload a screenshot of the transfer: without one, the order is cancelled automatically if payment has not arrived within 12 hours, and with one you upload it within 5 days and the price is held for 10 days. SWIFT payments incur a receiving fee of JPY 611. PayPal Pay Later is offered and operated by PayPal where available, and availability is not guaranteed. Full details are on the payment methods page.
How Should You Collect the OP-05 Secret and Special Slots?
Start with the 2 Secret Rares and the 7 special-line cards, then add the three super parallels and six leader parallels. That order follows the official counts and keeps your checklist to numbers Bandai has published.
- Write down the totals first: 127 card types from the rarity lines, 2 Secret Rares, 6 Special Cards, 1 anniversary card, 1 DON!! Card.
- Add the three super parallel IDs: op05-069_sp, op05-074_sp and op05-119_sp.
- Add the six leader parallel IDs: op05-001p, 002p, 022p, 041p, 060p and 098p.
- Check any third-party list against those counts before you trust it.
Checking against the counts helps you avoid common mistakes: merging the DON!! Card into the Special Cards or counting the anniversary card twice. If you buy boxes to chase these slots, remember the product page says individual pulls are not guaranteed.
For cards you cannot pull, check our card list article for the row-level view. This article does not list singles prices because they change.
