Perona EB-02: Character Cards Guide

Perona EB02 (EB-02) refers to one card: Perona, card number OP06-021, a Green/Black Leader with Life 4 and Power 5000, which the official card list shows under EXTRA BOOSTER -Anime 25th collection- as a parallel art version of that card number. Below is the full fact sheet and how to buy the Japanese box.

What is Perona EB02, at a glance?

Perona EB02 is a single Leader card, OP06-021, that appears in the EB-02 card list as a parallel art version. The table below gives the key facts for the set and the card. If you want to buy the set as a sealed box, our EB-02 Anime 25th collection Japanese One Piece Booster Box (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) is the Japanese edition product this guide refers to.

The English-language site lists the same set with a release date of May 9, 2025 and a legal date of May 16, 2025 (official English page). The two regional dates differ, so check which one applies to your edition. A fuller comparison is in the section on regional pages further down.

The set is a special booster commemorating the 25th anniversary of the anime, with new illustrations by artists from the TV animation. It also includes cards inspired by iconic theme songs from past animations (official EB-02 page). Perona is one card within that set, and this page stays on her.

What are Perona’s stats and effect on the OP06-021 card?

Perona OP06-021 is a Leader with Life 4 and Power 5000, and her effect either rests an opposing Character or lowers its cost. The official data is below (official card list, English card list).

The effect text reads: [Activate: Main] [Once Per Turn] Choose one: (1) Rest up to 1 of your opponent’s Characters with a cost of 4 or less; (2) Give up to 1 of your opponent’s Characters −1 cost during this turn.

Both modes are limited to once per turn and both target your opponent’s Characters. The first mode is limited to Characters with a cost of 4 or less, and the second gives up to 1 Character −1 cost during the turn it is used.

The English card list shows the same card under Card Set(s) as Anime 25th Collection [EB-02], again as Leader with Life 4, Power 5000, Color Green/Black and Type Thriller Bark Pirates (English card list).

Is the Perona card in EB-02 a parallel art version of OP06-021?

Yes. The official card list labels the EB-02 Perona as a parallel art version of card number OP06-021 (official card list).

That label is the only version information the list gives for this entry. The entry sits in the set listed as Anime 25th collection [EB-02], carries card number OP06-021 and rarity L, and is a Leader card type. When you search for the card, use the full number OP06-021 together with the EB-02 set name so that you are looking at the right entry.

EB-02 itself is a set built around new illustrations by artists from the TV anime (official EB-02 page). Perona’s entry in the card list is the one this guide covers; for the full run of alternate versions across the set, see our EB-02 parallel and alt-art card list.

Is Perona the main Leader of EB-02?

No. The new Leader card of EB-02 is Monkey D. Luffy, according to both the English and Japanese official product pages (official English page, official Japanese page).

The official rarity split of the set is shown below. The six rarity groups add up to the 87 card types the official pages state, and the pages describe the total as 87+1 types.

The rarity counts come from the official page (official English page). Perona carries rarity L, the same Leader rarity letter as the set’s new Leader, but she is not the Leader the set is introduced around. For the set’s top rarities, see our EB-02 rarity guide.

How do the Japanese and English EB-02 pages differ?

The Japanese pages give a January 25, 2025 release date, while the English-language site gives May 9, 2025. Because the dates and prices differ by page, match the page to your edition.

Our product listing for the Japanese edition box states a Japanese release date of May 9, 2025, which matches the English site; the Japanese official page gives January 25, 2025. The Japanese and Asia English pages give 6 cards per pack, and all three official pages give a new Monkey D. Luffy Leader, 87 card types and the same rarity counts.

The Asia English and English pages both note that multiples of one card may appear and that a full set may be hard to assemble. The Japanese page notes that product images may differ from the actual product and that specifications may change.

How do I get a Perona EB02 card from the booster box?

You open EB-02 packs, and a Perona is not guaranteed in any box. Our EB-02 Anime 25th collection Japanese One Piece Booster Box (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) holds 24 packs of 6 cards, 144 cards in total, with 87 card types. It is a sealed, randomized product, and individual pulls are not guaranteed.

The listing describes the card types as anniversary-themed special cards plus Commons, Uncommons, Rares, Super Rares and Secret Rares with alternate-art parallels. It says the cards are randomly packed at the factory. The box is listed as brand new and sealed, shipped directly from our warehouse in Tokyo via FedEx, with tracking and insurance on every shipment.

The official page also notes that you may get multiples of one card and a full set may be hard to assemble (official EB-02 page). The Japanese official site lists the pack price as 220 yen including tax (manufacturer’s suggested retail price).

If you want one specific card rather than a chance at it, a box is the wrong tool, because nothing in a sealed box can be chosen. Our guide to choosing between cards, box or singles in EB-02 covers that choice. For the box itself, the EB-02 Japanese booster box guide and the EB-02 booster box buying guide go deeper.

Should I buy the regular box or the damaged box for Perona EB02?

Buy the regular box if you want an undamaged outer box, and the damaged box if you only care about the cards inside. Both are listed as the Japanese edition EB-02 product.

The damaged-box listing states that the actual item you receive may differ from its photos, and that the type and extent of damage vary. Damaged boxes have dents, creases, scuffs or other cosmetic damage to the outer box. The first image on the listing shows the regular product so you can identify the set, and the condition photos that follow are samples of other damaged boxes.

The listing explains why these boxes exist. Our warehouse in Tokyo buys large volumes of Japanese trading cards every day, and some boxes arrive with dents, scratches or other damage. Staff inspect every item against defined condition standards, and boxes that cannot be sold as mint-condition products were separated from regular stock and are now offered at a lower price than the regular products.

Read the terms before ordering: the damaged box is sold as-is, the listing says we do not respond to inquiries about this item, and returns and refunds are not accepted.

How long does shipping take for an EB-02 box?

Most orders are processed and shipped within 5 business days after PayPal or Wise payment has cleared, then FedEx takes an estimated 3-7 business days on Standard or 2-5 on Expedited. These are estimates, not guarantees (shipping policy).

• Shipping cost is calculated automatically at checkout from your delivery address.
• There is no minimum order amount or quantity.
• FedEx cannot deliver to P.O. Boxes, so provide a physical shipping address.
• Business days exclude weekends and Japanese national holidays.
• Delivery dates shown on the site, at checkout or in carrier tools are estimates only. They do not include handling time, pre-order release timing, supplier allocation delays, quality inspection holds, weekends, Japanese national holidays, customs processing, carrier congestion, weather or destination-country conditions.

Stock levels for sealed Japanese trading card products fluctuate frequently, and dispatch may take longer than the standard handling time in some cases. The policy gives examples such as supplier allocation changes, pre-order releases later than announced, inventory arriving later than expected, or a unit reserved for your order failing quality inspection. If dispatch is delayed, we will contact you by email as soon as practical with the revised estimate. For significant dispatch delays before handoff to FedEx, we may offer the option to wait or to cancel the order with a full refund.

Once the products for your order are secured and the shipment is ready, we update the order status. You can check it in your customer account, and after dispatch you can see the tracking number and the carrier’s latest delivery estimate from your account or the shipping confirmation email.

After an order has been handed to FedEx, delivery timing is controlled by the carrier and destination-country authorities. Customs inspections, import procedures, remote-area handling, peak season congestion, weather and carrier events may delay delivery. The policy states these transit delays are outside our control and do not by themselves create a right to cancel or refund after dispatch.

Can I change my shipping address after ordering an EB-02 box?

Yes, while the order is paid and its shipment has not yet been scheduled, you can update the shipping address yourself from My Account > Orders > the order (shipping policy).

• The destination country cannot be changed, and the carrier, shipping method and FedEx service level remain those selected at checkout.
• If shipping to the new address costs more, you are asked to pay the difference before dispatch, and the order is held until it is settled.
• If it costs less, the shipping charge is not recalculated and no refund is made.
• You can update the billing name, company, address and phone number on the same screen. The billing country and the email address on the order cannot be changed there, and changing billing details does not change the shipping charge.
• A change takes effect only once it is shown on the order in My Account.

Once the shipment is scheduled, the self-service change is closed for both addresses, and only a minor correction that does not affect any shipping condition may be considered. If you notice an error then, the policy says to contact us immediately through the Contact Form. A correction is possible only if the shipment has not been handed to FedEx, the processing stage still allows it, and all shipping conditions remain unchanged; otherwise the request is declined. Because the customer is responsible for a complete and accurate address, verify it before you place the order.

How do I pay for an EB-02 box?

You can pay by Wise bank transfer, PayPal, or credit and debit card through PayPal, and all payments are made in Japanese yen (payment methods).

Any difference between the amount we charge and the amount on your statement, such as exchange rates or conversion fees from your card issuer, bank or PayPal, is set by your payment provider and is outside our control.

For Wise, the deadline depends on your checkout choice. Without a screenshot, the order is cancelled automatically if payment has not been received within 12 hours of placing it (3 hours if the order contains a pre-order item). With a screenshot, you upload it within 5 days, the order price is held for a total of 10 days, and payment must arrive before the hold ends. The screenshot option requires an account and is not available at guest checkout. Enter the payment reference issued with your order, SST-{order number}, in the Wise transfer reference field exactly as issued.

If you pay by SWIFT, a receiving fee of JPY 611 is deducted before the funds reach us, so add JPY 611 to your order total. The policy also asks you to select the OUR charge option so correspondent bank fees are covered on your side; if the amount we receive is short, order processing is paused until the shortfall is paid.

For cards, the form opens in PayPal’s own secure window, and we never see or store your card number, expiry date or security code. A PayPal account is usually not required for a card payment, and your issuer may apply 3-D Secure authentication.

PayPal Pay Later splits an eligible order into interest-free instalments. The options we see at checkout include PayPal Pay in 4 in the United States, Canada and Australia, and PayPal Pay in 3 in the United Kingdom. Availability is not guaranteed and is decided by PayPal.
