What Is Koala OP05 and Which Card Is It?
Koala OP05 is the Koala Character card numbered OP05-006 and rated SR in OP-05. The table below gives the set details, with each key fact tied to the official page it comes from.
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Card | Koala, OP05-006, SR, Character (official card list) |
| Set code | OP-05 (OP05) |
| English set name | Booster Pack -Awakening of the New Era- (official English page) |
| Japanese set name | ブースターパック 新時代の主役【OP-05】 (official Japanese page) |
| Edition | Japanese edition |
| Japanese release date | August 26, 2023 (official page) |
| Inside | 6 cards per pack, 127 card types, plus 27 parallel types and 1 more (official Japanese page) |
What Does Koala OP05-006 Do?
Koala OP05-006 weakens one opposing Character for a turn: its [On Play] effect reads “If your Leader has the {Revolutionary Army} type, give up to 1 of your opponent’s Characters −3000 power during this turn.” That is the full printed text on the official card list.
Three details in that text matter in play:
- The Leader condition. The effect only works if your Leader has the Revolutionary Army type. With any other Leader, the condition is not met.
- “Up to 1.” You choose a target, or none. The reduction is −3000 and lasts only during the turn it is played.
- The numbers. Koala costs 2, has 3000 power and a Counter of 2000.
Koala herself carries the Revolutionary Army type. Check your Leader’s type line on its card before you count the effect in a list.
How Do You Read the Koala OP05-006 Card Line?
You read the card line left to right: number, rarity, card type, name, then the stats. Here is every printed value for Koala, taken from the official card list.
| Field | Printed value |
|---|---|
| Card number | OP05-006 |
| Rarity | SR (Super Rare) |
| Card type | CHARACTER |
| Cost | 2 |
| Power | 3000 |
| Counter | 2000 |
| Color | Red |
| Attribute | Strike |
| Type | Revolutionary Army |
| Effect | [On Play] −3000 power on up to 1 opponent Character this turn, if your Leader has {Revolutionary Army} |
The “OP05” prefix tells you the card belongs to OP-05, and “006” is its position in the numbering. Counter 2000 is the value printed on the card.
Which Versions of Koala OP05-006 Exist?
Two versions of Koala OP05-006 are listed: the regular card, and Koala (Parallel), a parallel art version of the same card number. The official list shows both as SR Characters with identical stats and the same effect.
| Version | Number | Rarity | Stats and effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Koala | OP05-006 | SR | Cost 2, Power 3000, Counter 2000, Red |
| Koala (Parallel) | OP05-006 (parallel art) | SR | Same as above, different illustration |
The official list shows the same stats and effect on both, so the difference is the artwork. Across the whole set, the official page lists 27 parallel types plus 1 more, and Koala (Parallel) appears as a parallel version on the card list.
How Do You Check a Koala OP05 Listing?
Check a Koala OP05 listing by matching four things against the official card list: the number OP05-006, the rarity SR, the name Koala, and whether the art is the regular or the parallel version.
- Number. The card must read OP05-006. A different number is a different card.
- Rarity. Both Koala versions are SR. A listing that names another rarity for OP05-006 does not match the official list.
- Version. Check which art is shown. A parallel carries the same number, so the number alone will not separate them.
- Edition. This guide covers the Japanese edition of OP-05. The English edition has its own official page and its own release date.
- Sealed product. A booster box does not promise any one card. Packs are randomly filled, and individual pulls are not guaranteed.
Use the official card list as your reference for the printed data above.
Where Does Koala Sit in the OP-05 Set?
Koala is one of 10 Super Rare card types in OP-05, according to the official Japanese page. The full rarity breakdown there is 6 Leaders, 45 Commons, 30 Uncommons, 26 Rares, 10 Super Rares, 2 Secret Rares, 6 Specials, 1 DON!! card and 1 first-anniversary special card.
The same page names Enel (OP05-007), Sabo (OP05-100), Gear 5 Luffy and Kaido as headline cards. Koala sits next to Enel in the numbering. For those characters, see our Sabo OP05 guide, the Gear 5 Luffy and Secret Rares explainer, and the full OP-05 card list.
How Do the Japanese and English OP-05 Official Pages Differ?
The Japanese page lists August 26, 2023, and the English page lists December 8, 2023.
| Item | Japanese page | English page |
|---|---|---|
| Name | Booster Pack “New Era Protagonist” [OP-05] | Booster Pack -Awakening of the New Era- [OP-05] |
| Release date | August 26, 2023 | December 8, 2023 |
| Price | 220 yen per pack, tax included (suggested retail price) | USD $4.49 per pack (MSRP) |
| Card types | 127 in total | 126+1, plus 27+1 parallel types |
| Leaders | 6 | 6 |
The official Japanese page says cards are randomly inserted, so no single card such as Koala is promised in a pack. The English page notes that multiples of one card may appear, so a full set may be hard to assemble. The English page also lists the six Leader parallels (op05-001p, op05-002p, op05-022p, op05-041p, op05-060p and op05-098p) and three Super Parallel (SP) cards for the captains, op05-069, op05-074 and op05-119. Those are separate from Koala’s parallel, which is an SR.
The English page adds that cards are tournament legal from the pre-release date in each region, and that a 1st Anniversary Tournament starts December 8. OP-05 also appears among the products used in the official Green/Blue Donquixote Rosinante recommended deck dated November 24, 2023. For that character, see our Rosinante OP-05 guide.
How Do You Buy the OP-05 Box That Includes Koala?
You buy it as a sealed Japanese booster box: the OP-05 Awakening of the New Era Japanese Booster Box (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) holds 24 packs of 6 cards, 144 cards in total. Cards are randomly packed, so Koala is not guaranteed in any box.
A Damaged Box version is also listed at a lower price because of cosmetic damage to the outer box. The cards inside are unaffected, photos are samples, and it is sold as-is with no returns or refunds.
Orders ship from Tokyo by FedEx. Standard is FedEx International Connect Plus, usually 3-7 business days after dispatch; Expedited is FedEx International Priority, usually 2-5 business days.
