Cards #4–9 at a Glance
Shanks, Leader Parallel (OP09-001, L) — The parallel art version of one of OP-09’s most competitively dominant leaders. Players who want the premium version of their Shanks leader deck pay a significant premium over standard art.
Should You Buy OP-09?
OP-09 is one of the strongest sets in the One Piece Card Game for collectors, players, and long-term holders alike — but the right buying strategy depends on what you’re after.
- Gold Super Parallel Roger (OP09-118), see the chase-card table
- Four Manga Rares — highest count ever
- JPN reprints may lower box prices
- EN supply still being printed
- Top-end cards have corrected from launch
For Collectors
OP-09 is a must-buy. No other set offers four Manga Rares plus a Gold Super Parallel. The 2nd Anniversary theming, the Four Emperors showcase, and Roger’s GSP debut make this a landmark release. Even if you don’t pull a Manga Rare, the SP cards (Nami, Boa Hancock, Zoro-Juro) feature exceptional artwork.
For Competitive Players
OP-09 introduced six new leaders, two of which defined the meta for months: Shanks (board-wide power reduction) and Marshall D. Teach (On Play shutdown). The set also provided key support for top-tier decks like Blue Doflamingo. Standout staples include Trafalgar Law, Benn Beckman, and Gum-Gum Giant — all tournament-relevant to this day.
JPN vs English Box
| Factor | JPN Box | EN Box |

| Print Quality | Higher (texture, foil) | Standard |
| Availability | Reprints available | Limited stock |
Pull Rates — What to Expect From Your Box
Bandai does not publish pull rates. We have no named, dated source for OP-09 box odds, so this guide gives none. What the official OP-09 page does print is the set size: 129 card types plus 1, with SP 10, Leader 6, SEC 2, SR 10, R 26, UC 30, C 45 and DON!! 1. The chase-card table above shows which parallel cards sit behind the SEC and SR rows.
Box Value Breakdown
Because Bandai does not publish pull rates, this guide does not estimate an expected value for a box. What a box returns depends on which parallels you open; the chase-card table shows what the top singles ask on SNKRDUNK on October 7, 2026, not what a box returns. Our Box option is listed at ¥18,417 (~$120) (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order).
Price Trends & Market Outlook
OP-09 card prices have settled into a stable range after the typical post-launch correction, and several indicators suggest the floor is solid.
| Card | Launch Price | Current (Mar 2026) | Trend |
|---|---|---|---|
| Roger GSP | ¥500,000+ | ¥448,000 | Stable at premium |
| Luffy Manga | ¥250,000+ | ¥188,000 | Corrected, holding |
| Buggy Manga | ¥150,000+ | ¥118,000 | Corrected, holding |
| Shanks Manga | ¥130,000+ | ¥108,000 | Corrected, holding |
| BOX (JPN) | ¥8,000–9,000 | ~¥9,000 | Stable |
Initial hype inflates Day-1 prices, and the market finds equilibrium over 2–4 months. What’s notable about OP-09 is how high the equilibrium sits. Roger’s GSP has barely moved from ¥448,000, and Manga Rares stabilized in the ¥100,000–¥190,000 range — well above comparable cards from other sets.
The combination of collector appeal (GSP, 4 Manga Rares), competitive relevance (meta-defining leaders still in rotation), and the 2nd Anniversary scarcity factor positions OP-09 as one of the strongest long-term holds in the One Piece Card Game.
Deck Impact — How OP-09 Changed the Meta
OP-09 introduced six new leaders and a wave of support cards that fundamentally shifted how competitive One Piece is played.
Marshall D. Teach (OP09-081, Black) introduced a control mechanic that changed the rules of engagement. His On Play shutdown forces opponents to rethink turn sequencing — an effect so disruptive that certain matchups become unwinnable without specific answers. Teach decks consistently occupy top positions on tournament tier lists.
Shanks (OP09-001, Red) brought board-wide power reduction that dismantles aggressive strategies, pushing the meta toward more resilient, value-oriented builds.
Buggy (OP09-042) and Luffy (OP09-061) also debuted as leaders, with Luffy seeing play in purple-based strategies. Meanwhile, Blue Doflamingo gained key support from OP-09, keeping that deck at the top.
Trafalgar Law — Best search card for Straw Hat/Heart Pirates. Benn Beckman — K.O. immunity in Shanks builds. Gum-Gum Giant — Premier defensive event for purple decks. Sanji — Rush-down pressure from turn one.

The Bottom Line
OP-09 Emperors in the New World earns its reputation as one of the best sets in the One Piece Card Game. Two things make it stand out:
- Strong chase cards — The Gold Super Parallel Roger and the parallel Luffy, Shanks, Buggy and Teach cards lead the chase-card table above.
- Lasting competitive impact — Shanks and Teach continue to define tournament metagames, keeping demand strong across both collector and player markets.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the pull rates for OP-09 Emperors in the New World?
Bandai does not publish pull rates, and we do not quote unsourced community estimates for OP-09. See the chase-card table for what the top cards ask on SNKRDUNK, dated October 7, 2026. Those are asks for single cards, so they say nothing about how often a card appears in a box.

How rare is the Gold Roger in OP-09?
Bandai does not publish pull rates, so we cannot give a verified figure for the Gold Super Parallel Roger. It is a grail card, and most collectors pursue it through singles rather than trying to pull it; the chase-card table shows its dated SNKRDUNK ask.
How many Manga Rares are in OP-09?
OP-09 contains four Manga Rares: Gol D. Roger, Monkey D. Luffy, Shanks, and Marshall D. Teach. Additionally, Buggy features an Alternate Art Manga variant. This is the highest number of Manga Rares in any single set.
What decks use OP-09 cards?
Two meta-defining leaders: Marshall D. Teach (Black, control) and Shanks (Red, board suppression). Key staples like Trafalgar Law, Benn Beckman, and Gum-Gum Giant see play across multiple competitive archetypes.
