What are the key facts about OP-12 before you chase anything?
OP-12 is the twelfth ONE PIECE CARD GAME booster set, named Legacy of the Master, and the Japanese edition came out on May 31, 2025. The table below fixes the names, so you do not confuse it with the English release or with a neighbouring set.

One note on dates. Our product page gives May 24, 2025 for the Japanese release, while Bandai and the official card game site both give May 31, 2025. This article uses the official date.
The set is built around the masters and mentors of the One Piece world. Bandai describes it as presenting stories between characters from the original work, with Zoro and Mihawk, and Sanji and Zeff, named as examples. The official page highlights the “Dark King” Rayleigh and the “Twin Wings” leader cards. That theme explains which names show up on the list below.
Which OP12 cards should you look for first?
Look first at OP12-118 Jewelry Bonney and OP12-119 Bartholomew Kuma, the two Secret Rares, then at the Super Rares and the leader Silvers Rayleigh. It is not a price ranking.
| Card | Number | Rarity | Why it is on the list |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jewelry Bonney | OP12-118 | Secret Rare | One of only 2 Secret Rare types in the set |
| Bartholomew Kuma | OP12-119 | Secret Rare | The other Secret Rare type |
| Silvers Rayleigh | OP12-001 | Leader | The “Dark King” Rayleigh the official page puts in the headline; named on our product page |
| Monkey.D.Luffy | OP12-015 | Super Rare | One of the 10 Super Rares |
| Dracule Mihawk | OP12-030 | Super Rare | Tied to the Zoro and Mihawk story in Bandai’s description |
| Trafalgar Law | OP12-073 | Super Rare | One of the 10 Super Rares |
| Nico Robin | OP12-087 | Super Rare | One of the 10 Super Rares |
| Monkey.D.Dragon | OP12-094 | Super Rare | One of the 10 Super Rares |
| Roronoa Zoro | OP12-020 | Leader | One of the 6 Leaders; Zoro is named in Bandai’s Zoro and Mihawk story |
| Sanji | OP12-041 | Leader | One of the 6 Leaders; Sanji is named in Bandai’s Sanji and Zeff story |
Our product page names four key cards: Silvers Rayleigh, Gol D. Roger, Red-Haired Shanks and Zeff, along with alternate-art chase cards. The numbered cards in the table come from the official card list. Match Gol D. Roger and Red-Haired Shanks by name and art on the card list page rather than by a number quoted in a forum.
The official sources give rarity and card numbers, not a chase ranking. Rarity you can read from the official card list. Which card is your chase card is your own call, so check current listings for the exact card before you pay.
Why do Jewelry Bonney and Bartholomew Kuma stand out in OP-12?
They stand out because they are the only two Secret Rares in the Japanese set, out of 127+1 card types. The official Asia-English page lists Secret Rare at 2, against 45 Commons, 30 Uncommons and 26 Rares.
OP12-118 Jewelry Bonney is the first of the pair. The official card list shows her at the Secret Rare rarity (SEC); the other rarity codes the set uses are L, C, UC, R and SR.
OP12-119 Bartholomew Kuma completes the pair. The official card list shows him at the same SEC rarity, directly after Jewelry Bonney in number order.
If you only want one thing from this guide, it is this: the two OP-12 Secret Rares are OP12-118 and OP12-119, and the official card list marks both as SEC. Check the number and the rarity code on the card or in the seller’s photo before you buy either one.
How many cards sit in each OP-12 rarity?
The Japanese set splits into 127 card types across eight groups, and the Secret Rare group is the smallest regular one at 2. The table uses the counts from the official Asia-English page.
| Group | Card types | What it means for your search |
|---|---|---|
| Leader Cards | 6 | Silvers Rayleigh, Roronoa Zoro, Kuzan, Sanji, Donquixote Rosinante and Koala |
| Common | 45 | The largest group in the set |
| Uncommon | 30 | Includes Zeff (OP12-072) |
| Rare | 26 | Includes Tashigi (OP12-031) |
| Super Rare | 10 | Listed by name and number in the next section |
| Secret Rare | 2 | OP12-118 and OP12-119, the Secret Rare pair |
| Special Cards | 6 | Listed as their own group |
| Special 3rd Anniversary Cards | 2 | Listed as their own group |
The counts add up to 127. The fewer card types a rarity has, the shorter the list of cards you need to know, so the Secret Rare and Super Rare lists are short enough to learn by heart.
Which Super Rares and Leaders are worth a second look?
Together they are 16 of the 127+1 card types.
The official card list names the Super Rares as follows:
- OP12-014 Boa Hancock
- OP12-015 Monkey.D.Luffy
- OP12-030 Dracule Mihawk
- OP12-034 Perona
- OP12-056 Monkey.D.Garp
- OP12-063 Vinsmoke Reiju
- OP12-073 Trafalgar Law
- OP12-087 Nico Robin
- OP12-094 Monkey.D.Dragon
- OP12-102 Shirahoshi
The six Leaders are OP12-001 Silvers Rayleigh, OP12-020 Roronoa Zoro, OP12-040 Kuzan, OP12-041 Sanji, OP12-061 Donquixote Rosinante and OP12-081 Koala. The official set page puts Rayleigh and the “Twin Wings” leader cards forward in its highlights.
For a Leader, the decision differs from a Super Rare. If you play the game, pick the Leader you want to build around. If you collect, pick by the card you like. Silvers Rayleigh (OP12-001) is the Leader named on both the official page and our product page, so it is the natural first card to look up.
Among the Super Rares, pick by the characters you like. Bandai’s own description names Mihawk and Zeff, so Dracule Mihawk (OP12-030) is the Super Rare that ties directly to the set’s stated stories. That is an editorial pointer on our side, not a price statement.
Which other OP-12 cards do the sources name by number?
Beyond the top rarities, the sources name Tashigi, Zeff and two Rares by number. None of the sources calls these cards chase cards, so treat them as cards you can identify, not as a ranking.
| Card | Number | Rarity | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tashigi | OP12-031 | Rare | Green Character, cost 5; a search on the official card list returns this card plus a separate SP CARD listed under the OP-12 set |
| Zeff | OP12-072 | Uncommon | Named as a key card on our product page; the Sanji and Zeff story is in Bandai’s description |
| Color of the Supreme King Haki | OP12-018 | Rare | The official page shows its ID among its set highlights |
| Demon Aura Nine Sword Style Asura Blades Drawn Dead Man’s Game | OP12-037 | Rare | Listed as a Rare on the official card list |
Tashigi deserves a separate warning. The official card list search returns Tashigi OP12-031 (Rare) and also a Tashigi numbered OP06-050, an SP CARD, whose card set is listed as Legacy of the Master [OP-12]. Same name, two different numbers. When someone sells “OP-12 Tashigi”, check the number. Our own OP-12 set guide with the PSA 10 Tashigi goes through that card in detail.
The same habit applies to Zeff. The card list shows Zeff at OP12-072 as an Uncommon, and the card list page shows many alternate-art duplicates. Treat each art as its own card line, and match by number and artwork.
How do alternate arts and special cards change the OP12 chase?
They add a second layer on top of the base rarities. The Japanese set lists 6 Special Cards and 2 Special 3rd Anniversary Cards on top of its main rarity counts, and the card list shows many alternate-art duplicates.
The official Asia-English page gives these counts for the Japanese set: Leader Cards 6, Common 45, Uncommon 30, Rare 26, Super Rare 10, Secret Rare 2, Special Cards 6 and Special 3rd Anniversary Cards 2. Those eight groups add up to 127 card types.
Two habits help here. First, because the card list shows many alternate-art duplicates, confirm the artwork and the seller’s photo as well as the number before you pay. Second, the Special cards and the Anniversary cards are listed as their own groups on the official page, so a seller who says “special” should say which group.
We keep a separate article on this: One Piece OP-12 Legacy of the Master: all parallel and SP cards. Use it as the reference for the alternate arts, and the full OP-12 card list for every number and rarity.
How can you check what an OP-12 card is worth?
Check the card’s number and rarity on the official card list, then compare current sold or listed prices for that exact printing. This guide does not print prices, because none of the official sources publish market values for these cards.
A short routine that works:
- Get the number. It is printed on the card, in the form OP12-118.
- Match the rarity. L, C, UC, R, SR and SEC are the codes the card list uses. The list shows many alternate-art duplicates, so confirm the art too.
- Note raw or graded. Check whether the listing is a raw card or a graded one, such as PSA, and compare only listings of the same kind.
- Compare like with like. Same number, same art, same condition or grade.
On graded cards, our shipping policy says PSA graded cards may also be sold through our other sales channels, so an item shown online may already be sold before the allocation for your online order is locked. Once payment has cleared, the policy says we secure the PSA card matching your order, even if extra sourcing is needed, and dispatch may take longer. Read the delivery schedule shown for your order.
For pull expectations, there is no number to give. Our OP-12 pull rates and chase cards guide covers the topic further. Our product page says plainly that the cards in each box are randomly packed at the factory and individual pulls are not promised.
What do you get in a Japanese OP-12 booster box?
A Japanese OP-12 booster box holds 24 booster packs with 6 cards per pack, which is 144 cards per box. The cards are random, so a box may or may not contain any given card from this list.
The official pages add useful limits. They say multiples of one card may appear, illustrations may differ from the final product, and product details may differ from the actual product. The official Asia-English page gives no box size or case count, so the 24-pack figure comes from our product page for the box we ship. Bandai’s catalog entry likewise lists no cards per pack or box configuration.
We list two versions of the box. The regular box is brand new and sealed. The damaged box is a cosmetic discount item.
| Point | Regular box | Damaged Box |
|---|---|---|
| Page | OP-12 Legacy of the Master Japanese One Piece Booster Box (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) | OP-12 Legacy of the Master Japanese One Piece Booster Box – Damaged Box (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) |
| Condition | Brand new and sealed | Cosmetic damage to the outer box, such as dents or scratches; cards inside unaffected |
| Photos | Product photos | Sample photos; the box you receive may differ |
| Returns | Per our policies | Sold as-is; returns and refunds are not accepted |
The damaged box page says the discount comes from the outer box only, that photos are samples, and that the type and extent of damage vary. The page also states that the item is sold as-is, with no responses to inquiries and no returns or refunds. That makes it a fit for a buyer who plans to open the box and does not care about the outer condition. If you want an undamaged outer box, buy the regular box instead.
Our buying guide goes through the box decision in more detail: OP-12 booster box buying guide. For a comparison of the Japanese and English releases, see OP-12 booster box contents, release dates and Japanese vs English.
Is the Japanese or the English OP-12 better for chase cards?
Choose the Japanese edition if you want the original May 2025 release, which Bandai prices at 220 yen per pack. Choose the English edition if you want the English-language set, which the official English page lists with an August 22, 2025 release. The two editions are not identical, and the official pages show it.
| Point | Japanese edition | English edition |
|---|---|---|
| Release date | May 31, 2025 | August 22, 2025 |
| Tournament legal date | Not listed on the pages cited | August 29, 2025 |
| Card types | 127+1 | 128+1 |
| Pack price | 220 yen including tax (Bandai) | USD $4.99 per pack MSRP |
| Extra rarities listed | 6 Special Cards, 2 Special 3rd Anniversary Cards | 6 Special cards, 1 Treasure Rare, 2 cards from the 3rd Anniversary series, 1 DON!! card |
Sources: the Asia-English page for Japan and the English page for the English set. The English set lists a Treasure Rare and a DON!! card that the Japanese list does not show. If you are after a card that exists only in one edition, check that edition’s list first.
Our shop ships the Japanese edition, so the list in this guide is written for the Japanese set, with numbers and rarities as given on the Asia-English card list. Check which edition a card comes from before you compare it with the numbers here.

If you pay by Wise without a screenshot, the order is cancelled automatically if payment is not received within 12 hours (3 hours when it contains a pre-order item). With a screenshot, upload it within 5 days. Read the shipping policy and payment methods page before checkout.
My recommendation for a buyer chasing OP-12 Secret Rares: buy the regular box if you want an undamaged outer box; buy the damaged box only if you are opening everything and accept the sold-as-is terms. Do not buy a box in the expectation of a specific card. The cards are random and no pull is promised. If a particular card matters to you more than the box experience, shop for that card by its number.
