What are the key facts for Otama OP13-043?

Otama OP13-043 is a single Rare Character card printed in the Japanese edition of OP-13, and the table below gives its exact identifiers.

The set has 132+1 card types, and Otama is one Rare among the 26 Rares the official page lists.

What does the Otama OP13 effect do?

Otama’s On Play effect draws 2 cards and then trashes 1 card from your hand, but only if you have 3 or less Life cards.

The printed text reads: “[On Play] If you have 3 or less Life cards, draw 2 cards and trash 1 card from your hand.” The result is a net gain of one card in hand. The condition matters: the effect does nothing if you still have 4 or more Life cards when Otama enters play.

Otama is a Blue card. The official list gives Blue as its color and Counter 2000 as its printed Counter value. Its cost is 1, so the condition on Life cards is the main thing to read before you evaluate the card.

How do you read the stats on OP13-043?

You read OP13-043 as a cost 1 blue Character with no printed Power and a Counter of 2000.

All values in the table come from the official card list entry for Otama in OP-13 (source).

Which versions of Otama OP13 exist, and how do you check a listing?

The sources list no alternate-art Otama. A listing that claims a different rarity for OP13-043 deserves a closer look before you buy. Use this checklist:

• Card number reads OP13-043 and rarity reads R.
• Cost 1, Counter 2000, color Blue, type Land of Wano.
• The effect text matches the On Play line quoted above.
• The listing says Japanese edition, since the English-edition OP-13 pack has its own release (November 7, 2025, USD $4.99 per pack MSRP, per the English-edition page).
• Condition is stated clearly, for single cards and for sealed boxes alike.

Official card text can be corrected after release. The Japanese official page posted a card text typo correction notice on August 18, 2025, so compare effect wording with the current official card list rather than an old screenshot.

Where does Otama sit in the OP-13 set?

Otama is one of the Rare cards in OP-13, a set built around the Inherited Will theme and the three brothers Ace, Sabo and Luffy.

The official OP-13 page counts these rarities: Leader Cards 6, Common 45, Uncommon 30, Rare 26, Super Rare 10, Secret Rare 3, Special Cards 10 and Special 3rd Anniversary Cards 2. As an R, Otama sits in the middle of that spread: more numerous than Super Rares and Secret Rares, fewer than Commons. Multiples of one card can appear, and a full set may be hard to assemble.

OP-13 is the card game’s 3rd anniversary set (official news). Its trailer was shown on August 10, 2025 at ONE PIECE DAY’25 in Tokyo Big Sight, with Gol D. Roger as a Leader card, the debut of Imu in the card game, and Five Elders parallel cards illustrated by Gege Akutami (official news). In Japan the pack was priced at 220 yen with tax.

What else came with the OP-13 launch?

Alongside the booster pack, the Official Card Sleeve 12 also released on August 23, 2025, priced at 880 yen with tax, with a lineup of Roger, Sabo, Monkey D. Luffy and Imu (official news).

The official Japanese page also lists a Premium Bandai lottery application period from December 18 to December 24, 2025, and a Red Super Parallel that is exclusive to this set (official page). They show how the set was presented: a 3rd anniversary release with its attention on the three brothers and the new Imu Leader. The English-edition site also has a recommended deck guide for the Black Imu Leader dated November 7, 2025, which names the product as BOOSTER PACK -CARRYING ON HIS WILL- [OP-13] (official deck guide).

Where can you buy Otama OP13 and the OP-13 box?
