OP-02 Paramount War Guide: Cards, Rarities and Box

Updated November 10, 2026

OP-02 (OP02), ONE PIECE CARD GAME Booster Pack -Paramount War- in its Japanese edition, was released on November 4, 2022 and has 121 unique cards: 8 Leaders, 45 Commons, 30 Uncommons, 26 Rares, 10 Super Rares and 2 Secret Rares. This guide covers the cards, the box and how it reaches you.

What is OP-02 Paramount War?

OP-02 Paramount War is the second booster set of the ONE PIECE CARD GAME, themed around the Marineford chapter of the story. Bandai lists it as the second booster pack of the game and describes it as built around the popular Marineford arc with many popular characters, according to the Bandai catalog page.

The set came out on Friday, November 4, 2022. A single pack was priced at 198 yen including tax, as the official release news states. That news item also records the neighboring products: STARTER DECK -The Navy- (ST-06) came out in September 2022 at 990 yen, and ST-07, the Big Mom Pirates deck, was scheduled for January 21, 2023, also at 990 yen. The Bandai page lists the pack for ages 9 and up, in the card category, with a toy sales floor placement.

Two design points set OP-02 apart. First, it introduced the color black. Second, it added new multicolor leader combinations. Both points are on the official product page, which also says the set contains many cards that strengthen ST-06. In plain terms, the set was made to work with the Navy starter deck, and black was new to the game with this release.

The names matter when you search. The set code is written OP-02 on official pages and OP02 in card numbers (OP02-001 and so on). When you compare listings, check that the code says OP-02 and that the edition is Japanese.

What is inside one OP-02 pack and one OP-02 booster box?

One OP-02 pack holds 6 cards plus 1 index card, and one booster box on our shop holds 24 packs, which is 144 cards. The pack figure is from the official product page; the 24-pack box figure is from our box product page (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order), because the Bandai catalog page does not specify a box configuration.

Our box page also lists the card pool: 121 card types, made up of 8 Leader cards plus Commons, Uncommons, Rares, Super Rares and Secret Rares, with alternate-art parallels. The official page adds that 27 types of parallel cards are included. That is a separate count from the 154 entries on the official card list. The list shows 154 results because it counts parallel variants as extra entries, so the gap between 154 and 121 is 33 entries.

The official page also describes box toppers: one of each of 6 types is randomly enclosed, and the card types are random. Box toppers are covered in their own section below.

The box is a sealed, randomized product. Our page states that the specific cards in each box are packed at the factory and that individual card pulls are not guaranteed. No official page gives per-card odds, so nothing here states any. A box holds 144 cards and the set has 121 card numbers, so one box does not map one card to each number.

How many cards of each rarity are in OP-02?

OP-02 has 8 Leaders, 45 Commons, 30 Uncommons, 26 Rares, 10 Super Rares and 2 Secret Rares, which adds up to 121 cards. The same counts appear on both the English card list and the Japanese card list.

The Super Rare and Secret Rare tiers together hold 12 of the 121 card numbers: 10 Super Rares and 2 Secret Rares. Commons and Uncommons together hold 75 numbers. If you are completing a set by number, the table above gives you the count you need to find in each tier.

The official list also marks the card types that are not characters. Event cards are OP02-021, 022, 023, 045, 046, 047, 066, 067, 068, 069, 089, 090, 091, 117, 118 and 119. Stage cards are OP02-024, 048, 070 and 092. Together that is 16 Events and 4 Stages, so 20 of the 121 numbers are Event or Stage cards.

Which Secret Rares are in OP-02?

The two Secret Rares in OP-02 are Uta (OP02-120) and Kuzan (OP02-121). They are the only cards at Secret Rare in the set, so Secret Rare is the smallest tier on the official card list.

Uta (OP02-120) is numbered 120, one of the last two numbers in the set. In a binder sorted by number she follows all the Event and Stage cards.

Kuzan (OP02-121) is the final card number in the set. Kuzan also has a Super Rare card at OP02-096, so the character exists at two rarity tiers. When you shop for Kuzan, check the number: OP02-096 is the Super Rare and OP02-121 is the Secret Rare.

Parallels add a second layer. Our box page says the set includes Secret Rares with alternate-art parallels, so a parallel of a Secret Rare number is a different card from the standard one. Always match both the card number and the artwork when you compare listings. Our OP-02 parallel and Secret Rare cards guide goes deeper on the alternate-art side.

Which Super Rares are in OP-02?

OP-02 has ten Super Rares: Edward Newgate, Portgas D. Ace, Kouzuki Oden, Nami, Emporio Ivankov, Monkey D. Luffy, Magellan, Kuzan, Sakazuki and Borsalino. Their card numbers are OP02-004, 013, 030, 036, 051, 062, 085, 096, 099 and 114.

The official product page features nine card IDs by number: op02-062, op02-013, op02-004, op02-114, op02-099, op02-096, op02-002, op02-072 and op02-105. Six of the ten Super Rares are on that featured list. The other four are not, though they are still Super Rares.

Edward Newgate appears twice in the set: as Leader OP02-001 and as Super Rare OP02-004. Emporio Ivankov and Magellan do the same, each with a Leader number and a Super Rare number (Ivankov OP02-049 and OP02-051; Magellan OP02-071 and OP02-085). Again, the number is what separates one card from the other.

Our box page names four key cards: Edward Newgate (Whitebeard), Portgas D. Ace, Akainu and Boa Hancock. The card list shows Newgate and Ace at Super Rare, Sakazuki at Super Rare (OP02-099), and Boa Hancock at Uncommon. So a character named as a key card can sit in a lower rarity tier than you might expect.

If Ace is the card you want, we have a dedicated guide to a graded copy: PSA 10 Portgas D. Ace OP02-013 card guide.

Which Leader cards are in OP-02?

OP-02 has eight Leader cards: Edward Newgate (OP02-001), Monkey D. Garp (OP02-002), Kin’emon (OP02-025), Sanji (OP02-026), Emporio Ivankov (OP02-049), Magellan (OP02-071), Zephyr (OP02-072) and Smoker (OP02-093).

The official page features Garp (OP02-002) and Zephyr (OP02-072) by number. The sources used for this guide do not list each Leader’s color, so check the card list for color before you buy a Leader for a deck.

The set was made to support the Navy starter deck. The official page says it includes many cards that strengthen ST-06, and the official release news repeats this. If you are building around the Navy, use the card list to look up the characters you need: Garp, Smoker, Sengoku, Hina, Tsuru and Helmeppo all appear in the lists, in different rarity tiers (Garp and Smoker as Leaders, Sengoku and Hina as Rares, Tsuru and Helmeppo as Uncommons).

What are the OP-02 box topper cards?

OP-02 has six box topper cards with the IDs op02-009b, op02-031b, op02-059b, op02-086b, op02-105b and op02-108b. The official product page says one of each of the 6 types is randomly enclosed, and that the card types are random.

The topper IDs are given only as the six IDs above, and the official page does not name the characters on them. When you look at a listing for a topper, match the full ID as the official page writes it rather than only the number.

What other cards fill out the OP-02 set?

The rest of OP-02 is made up of Commons, Uncommons, Rares and the Event and Stage cards, and the official card list names many of them. These examples help you place a character you like in its rarity tier.

Rare examples: Jozu, Vista, Masked Deuce, Marco, Seaquake, Carrot, Brook, Yamato, Buggy, Little Sadi, Shiki, Shiryu, Hannyabal, Koby, Smoker, Sengoku, Hina and Meteor Volcano.

Uncommon examples: Curly Dadan, Squard, Makino, Kouzuki Toki, Tony Tony Chopper, Nico Robin, Donquixote Doflamingo, Bartholomew Kuma, Boa Hancock, Douglas Bullet, Tsuru, Bell-mere, Helmeppo and Ice Age.

Should you buy the regular OP-02 box or the Damaged Box?

Buy the regular box if the outer box matters to you, and choose the Damaged Box if you mainly plan to open the packs. The OP-02 Paramount War Damaged Box is discounted because of cosmetic damage to the outer box, and the listing says the cards inside are unaffected.

The Damaged Box page says plainly that this item is sold as-is, that inquiries about it are not answered, and that returns and refunds are not accepted. Read that before you order. The listing explains that our Tokyo warehouse takes in large volumes of Japanese trading cards every day, and that boxes with dents or scratches are separated from regular stock during inspection against defined condition standards.

The first photo on the damaged listing shows the regular product so you can identify the set. The condition photos that follow are samples of damaged boxes, which is why the box you receive can differ from them.

How do you get an OP-02 box shipped from Japan?

We ship from Tokyo by FedEx. Standard shipping is FedEx International Connect Plus at usually 3-7 business days after dispatch, and Expedited shipping is FedEx International Priority at usually 2-5 business days. Both include a tracking number, and both times are estimates only, per our shipping policy.

Shipping cost is calculated automatically at checkout from your delivery address. There is no minimum order amount or quantity, so a single box is a valid order. Most orders are processed and shipped within 5 business days after PayPal or Wise payment has cleared. That window is also an estimate, and business days exclude weekends and Japanese national holidays.

The delivery dates shown on the site, at checkout or in carrier tools do not include our handling time, supplier allocation delays, quality inspection holds, weekends, Japanese national holidays, customs processing, carrier congestion, weather or destination-country conditions. If dispatch is delayed, we contact you by email as soon as practical with a revised estimate. After the parcel is handed to FedEx, timing is controlled by the carrier and destination-country authorities.

You can follow your order from your customer account. Once the products are secured and the shipment is ready, we update the order status, and after dispatch you can see the tracking number and the carrier’s latest delivery estimate in your account or in the shipping confirmation email. Customs inspections, import procedures, remote-area handling, peak season congestion and weather can delay delivery after handoff to FedEx. Those transit delays are outside our control and do not by themselves create a right to cancel or refund after dispatch.

FedEx cannot deliver to P.O. Boxes, so enter a physical address. Check the address before you order: while a paid order has no scheduled shipment, you can change the shipping address yourself under My Account, Orders. The destination country cannot be changed, and if the new address costs more to ship to, the difference must be paid before dispatch.

How do you pay for an OP-02 order?

You can pay by Wise bank transfer, PayPal, or a credit or debit card through PayPal, and every payment is made in Japanese yen. The payment methods page lists the details and is the version that applies to your order.

Wise bank transfer is the only method without the 5% payment processing fee. PayPal and card payments carry that 5% fee. Cards are Visa, Mastercard, American Express and JCB, and which of these is offered depends on your country and your card, as decided by PayPal. Card details are entered on PayPal’s side, and we never see or store them.

Wise payments have deadlines. Without a transfer screenshot, an order is cancelled automatically if payment has not arrived within 12 hours (3 hours if the order contains a pre-order item). With a screenshot, which requires an account, you upload it within 5 days and the order price is held for a total of 10 days. Use the payment reference SST-{order number} exactly as issued. If you pay by SWIFT, add JPY 611 to your order total, because a receiving fee of JPY 611 is deducted before the funds reach us, and select the OUR charge option so correspondent bank fees are covered on your side.

PayPal Pay Later may appear at checkout in some countries. It is offered and operated by PayPal, the options we see are interest-free, and availability is not guaranteed. In the United States the option is PayPal Pay in 4 (four payments, one every 2 weeks); in the United Kingdom it is PayPal Pay in 3 (three monthly payments). The terms PayPal shows in its own window are the ones that apply.
