Kaido OP05: Character Cards Guide to OP05-118 and OP04-044

Updated November 10, 2026

Kaido OP05 is the blue Secret Rare character OP05-118 in Awakening of the New Era, OP-05 (OP05): a cost 10, 12000 power card whose On Play effect draws 4 cards if your opponent has 3 or less Life cards. The official card list also shows a parallel art version and an SP card, OP04-044.

What does the Kaido OP05-118 card do?

Kaido OP05-118 is a Blue Character that draws 4 cards when played, but only if your opponent has 3 or less Life cards. The official printed data gives these exact stats.

Both the Kaido and Kaido (Parallel) rows for OP05-118 carry these same numbers and the same effect text, per the official card list.

How do you read the Kaido OP05 effect?

The effect is a conditional draw: the [On Play] trigger fires when the card is played, and the 4 cards are drawn only if your opponent has 3 or less Life cards at that moment. If the opponent has more Life, the effect text gives you no draw.

Three details on the card line matter when you compare it with other cards:

• Cost 10. This is the printed cost of the card.
• Power 12000. The Power value is printed as 12000 and the Counter field shows a dash, meaning no counter value is printed.
• Type: The Four Emperors / Animal Kingdom Pirates. This is the type line printed on the card.

Kaido is Blue with the Special attribute. The attribute is separate from the color, so a listing that says “blue Kaido” has not yet told you which Kaido it is.

Which Kaido OP05 versions exist?

The official card list shows three Kaido rows in the OP-05 series: the regular OP05-118, its parallel art version, and an SP card numbered OP04-044.

The first two rows are the same card number with different artwork, so the number alone does not separate them. The third row is a different card: OP04-044 has the Strike attribute and returns Characters to hand instead of drawing. Both OP05-118 printings share the draw effect; OP04-044 does not.

How do you check a Kaido OP05 listing?

Check the card number, the rarity code, the artwork and the effect text, in that order. A correct OP05-118 listing shows SEC, Blue, Cost 10, Power 12000 and the Draw 4 effect.

1. Number and rarity. OP05-118 with SEC is the Secret Rare. OP04-044 with SP CARD is the SP card.
2. Regular or parallel. Both OP05-118 printings share a number, so compare the artwork against the two official versions shown above and in the card list.
3. Effect text. “Draw 4 cards if your opponent has 3 or less Life cards” means OP05-118. “Return up to 1 Character with a cost of 8 or less” means OP04-044.
4. Edition. Japanese cards come from the Japanese-edition set released August 26, 2023. The English edition of OP-05 released later, on December 8, 2023, so confirm which language the listing is.

The official card list is the reference for exact printed data. One gap: the sources list the card data above but do not give artwork credits or a printed illustrator for this card, so describe the card only by what the card list prints.

Where does Kaido sit in the OP-05 set?

Kaido OP05-118 is one of the Secret Rare cards of Awakening of the New Era. The official rarity breakdown lists 2 Secret Rare card types in the set, alongside 6 Leaders, 45 Commons, 30 Uncommons, 26 Rares, 10 Super Rares and 6 Special cards, per the official Japanese page.

The Japanese set contains 127 card types, with each pack holding 6 cards at random. Our sealed box listing says Gear 5 Luffy, Trafalgar Law, Sabo and Eustass Kid are the key cards, and Kaido is not named there, so the sources describe Kaido by its card data and rarity only. For the full set picture, read our guides to OP-05 Secret Rares and Special cards, the parallel and SP rows, and the full OP-05 card list. If you are weighing boxes, see which OP-05 box to buy.

Where can you buy Kaido OP05 from Japan?

The OP-05 product we list is the sealed Japanese booster box, and Kaido OP05-118 is a random pull from it, not a guaranteed card. Our OP-05 Awakening of the New Era Japanese One Piece Booster Box (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) contains 24 packs of 6 cards, 144 cards in total, and is shipped from Tokyo by FedEx.

We also list a damaged box version. It has cosmetic damage to the outer box (dents or scratches), the cards inside are unaffected, the photos are samples, and it is sold as-is with no returns or refunds.

Shipping runs on FedEx International Connect Plus (usually 3-7 business days after dispatch) or FedEx International Priority (usually 2-5 business days). Most orders are processed within 5 business days after payment clears, and these are estimates. Payments are in yen: PayPal and cards through PayPal carry a 5% processing fee, while Wise bank transfer does not. Full terms are on the shipping policy and payment methods pages.

Which Kaido version should you look for?

Look for the OP05-118 SEC if you want the card whose effect is the Draw 4 On Play, and choose between the regular and parallel art by which artwork you prefer. Both print the same stats and text.

Look for OP04-044 only if you want the SP CARD with the Strike attribute and the hand-return effect. It is a different card from OP05-118, so do not treat the two as interchangeable in a deck or in a collection checklist. Pulls from a sealed box are random, so a box is a way to open packs, not a way to pick a specific Kaido.
