What does the OP-04 Kingdoms of Intrigue card list hold in 2026? The Sabo Manga Rare and Block 1 rotation, which took effect in April 2026, are central to this Alabasta-meets-Dressrosa set — cards from OP-01 through OP-04 left Standard tournament play.

OP-04 Set Overview — Where Alabasta Meets Dressrosa
OP-04 combines two fan-favorite arcs — Alabasta and Dressrosa — into a single booster pack with six leaders, a Manga Rare, and five cross-set SP lottery cards.
What Makes OP-04 Special
Released in May 2023 (JPN) and September 2023 (EN), Kingdoms of Intrigue introduced six new leaders spanning the Alabasta and Dressrosa sagas. The set features the first Gear Fourth Bounce-Man Monkey D. Luffy card — a milestone for collectors. OP-04 also introduced a unique cross-set SP lottery system: five Special Art Parallel cards featuring characters from earlier sets (Boa Hancock from OP-01, Trafalgar Law from OP-01, Edward Newgate from OP-02, Sakazuki from OP-02, and Magellan from OP-02) appear as chase pulls.
For competitive players, OP-04 delivered the Rebecca leader and her Dressrosa support cards, which became a meta-relevant deck archetype. The Doflamingo leader also saw tournament play across multiple formats. You can explore other Block 1 sets for comparison.

Top 10 Most Valuable OP-04 Cards
Sabo’s Manga Rare is the set’s headline chase card, followed by five cross-set SP lottery cards and four leader alternate arts.
For the three cards below, the Japanese-print SNKRDUNK asks are dated September 24, 2026.
| Rank | Card | Rarity | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | Trafalgar Law (SP) | SP | Collectors |
| 5 | Donquixote Doflamingo (Alt Art) | L | Collectors / Players |
| 6 | Nefeltari Vivi (Alt Art) | L | Collectors |
| 7 | Queen (Alt Art) | L | Players |
| 8 | Yamato (Alt Art) | SR | Collectors |
| 9 | Sanji (Alt Art) | SR | Collectors |
| 10 | Sabo (Alt Art, non-Manga) | SR | Players / Collectors |
Trafalgar Law’s SP (OP01-047) is another cross-set lottery pull — an OP-01 fan-favorite appearing inside OP-04 packs. Yamato’s SR Alternate Art features Wano arc art, while Sanji reflects core Straw Hat crew status.
The SP lottery cards (Hancock, Law, Newgate, Sakazuki, Magellan) add a unique dynamic — you’re effectively pulling chase cards from OP-01 and OP-02 inside OP-04 packs.
OP-04 Pull Rates — What Are Your Odds?
OP-04’s cross-set SP lottery system adds another layer of scarcity on top of the standard booster structure. Pull rate data below is estimated from Japanese opening records — not officially confirmed by Bandai.
Pull Rate Breakdown by Rarity
| Rarity | Pull Rate | Approx. Frequency | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Manga Rare (Sabo) | ~0.64% | 1 per 156 boxes (~13 cartons) | 1 type only |
| SP (Special Art Parallel) | ~8.01% | 1 per 12 boxes (~1 carton) | 5 types — each SP is ~1 per 60 boxes |
| Leader Parallel | ~16.03% | 1 per 6 boxes | 6 types — each leader is ~1 per 36 boxes |
| SEC (Secret Rare) | ~16–20% | 1 per 5–6 boxes | Standard OPTCG rate |
| SR (Super Rare) | ~100% | 2–3 per box | Included in every box |
| R (Rare) | ~100% | Multiple per box | Common pulls |
Source: Aggregated from Japanese opening data via torecamap.co.jp and onepiece-card-atari.jp. Pull rates are estimates and may vary.
Pulling any specific SP (e.g., Boa Hancock) or the Manga Rare Sabo from a single box is rare, since the SP pool is split across 5 different cards; see the Pull Rate Breakdown table above for community-estimated odds by rarity.
What You’ll Typically Find in One Box
Japanese opening records report 2–3 Super Rares per box (not published by Bandai); see the Pull Rate Breakdown table above for SP and Manga Rare odds by rarity.
The cross-set SP lottery means a box’s chase potential isn’t limited to OP-04’s own cast — a single pack can surface Boa Hancock, Trafalgar Law, Edward Newgate, Sakazuki, or Magellan from earlier sets. That five-card SP pool spans two different sets, OP-01 and OP-02.
What’s in Your Box — Value Breakdown
Japanese opening records report 2–3 Super Rares as a baseline in every box (not published by Bandai), with SP, SEC, and Leader Parallel hits providing additional upside.
BOX Floor Value
| Rarity Tier | Expected per Box |
|---|---|
| SR | 2–3 cards |
| R and below | ~20 cards |
The SR floor means even a box without chase hits still contains playable cards with moderate value. Leader Parallel, SP, and Manga Rare hits sit on top of that floor — see the Pull Rate Breakdown table above for the community-estimated odds of each.
Singles vs. Sealed: Which Strategy?
| Strategy | Best For | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|---|
| Buy singles | Players needing specific cards | Exact card guaranteed, often cheaper | No chase card excitement |
| Buy 1 box | Casual collectors | Opening experience, SR included | Low odds on SP/Manga Rare |
| Buy a carton (12 boxes) | Serious collectors | Better value per box | Significant upfront cost |
| Keep sealed | Long-term collectors | Keeps full box contents intact | No immediate card access |
The thrill of cracking packs — especially with OP-04’s cross-set SP lottery system — is part of the value that doesn’t show up in EV calculations. Every pack has a chance at pulling a chase card from a completely different set.

April 2026 Rotation — What It Meant for OP-04
OP-04 sat right at the Block 1 cutoff — from April 2026, all cards from OP-01 through OP-04 left Standard tournament play. Block X and PRB-02 reprints created important exceptions for key cards.
Block 1 (OP-01 through OP-04 + ST-01 through ST-04) left Standard format in April 2026. Only Blocks 2–5 remain tournament-legal.
Block 1 Rotation Explained
Since April 2026, only Blocks 2–5 (OP-05 onward) have been legal in Standard format. OP-04 leaders like Rebecca, Doflamingo, and Vivi can no longer be used in official Standard tournaments. Character and event cards from OP-04 also rotated out unless they received specific exemptions.
For a full breakdown of rotation rules, see the official BANDAI rotation page and the TCGPlayer 2026 Rotation Guide.
Block X — Manga Rares Live Forever
Bandai introduced Block X as a permanent legality designation. All existing Manga Rare cards — including OP-04’s Sabo “Flame Emperor” — receive Block X status automatically. Block X cards cannot be rotated out, ever. Your Manga Rare Sabo retains tournament relevance permanently.
The non-Manga Rare version of Sabo (OP04-083) also receives Block X status, meaning the standard SR Sabo remains playable in Standard even after rotation.
All Manga Rare cards — and their non-Manga base versions — receive Block X status. They can never be rotated out of Standard play. For OP-04, this means the Sabo Manga Rare and its base SR version stay tournament-legal permanently.
PRB-02 Reprints — Second Chances
Select OP-04 cards reprinted in Premium Booster -The Best- Vol. 2 (PRB-02) also receive updated block numbers, keeping them tournament-legal post-rotation. Check the official block icon update page for the complete list of exempt cards.

Should You Buy OP-04? — A Guide by Player Type
OP-04 is worth buying for collectors and sealed-product investors, but competitive players should focus on Block X singles only. Here’s the full breakdown by player type.
Buy Sealed Boxes If…
- You collect sealed Block 1 product or enjoy opening SP lottery packs
Buy Singles If…
- You need specific Block X-legal cards or a target chase card
- You want to build with the Rebecca or Doflamingo leader outside Standard format
For Collectors: Block 1 Sealed Product
OP-04 is one of the Block 1 sets. The combination of the Sabo Manga Rare, five cross-set SP lottery cards, and six leader alternate arts makes for a chase-card-dense set. Sealed boxes remain a relatively accessible entry point next to singles — see the September 24, 2026 figures above for current pricing.
Action: If you collect sealed product, OP-04 boxes remain worth considering for their Block 1 chase cards; see the September 24, 2026 figures above for current pricing. For singles, the Sabo Manga Rare and Boa Hancock SP are the headline chase cards.
The Sabo Manga Rare and Boa Hancock SP are the headline chase cards from OP-04.
For Competitive Players: Limited but Notable Exceptions
Most OP-04 cards left Standard in April 2026, which limited competitive value. Block X permanently preserves the Manga Rare Sabo and its base version. PRB-02 reprints also kept select cards legal. If you play casual or unofficial formats where Block 1 remains legal, OP-04’s Rebecca and Doflamingo leaders still offer strong deck-building options.
Sabo “Flame Emperor” Manga Rare + its base SR version remain Standard-legal permanently. All other OP-04 cards rotated out in April 2026 unless reprinted in PRB-02.
Action: Buy specific singles through TCGPlayer if you need Block X-legal cards. Skip sealed product unless you also value the collector angle.
For Investors: Block 1 After Rotation
Block 1 (OP-01 through OP-04) left Standard tournament play in April 2026. See the September 24, 2026 SNKRDUNK asks in the Top 10 section above for where sealed box and chase-card asking prices stand as of this update.
Box option: ¥20,776 (~$135) (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) | Headline card: Sabo Manga Rare, ¥57,800 SNKRDUNK ask (Sep 24, 2026)

- Rotation reshaped the set — Block 1 left Standard in April 2026, but Block X keeps Manga Rares legal forever
For collectors, OP-04 box prices are shown in the September 24, 2026 update above. For players, Block X cards remain the pieces with permanent Standard legality.

What are the pull rates for OP-04 Kingdoms of Intrigue?
Community estimates from Japanese opening records are in the pull-rate table above; Bandai publishes no rates.
Is OP-04 worth buying in 2026 after rotation?
It depends on your goals. For collectors, OP-04 boxes offer an accessible entry point into Block 1 sealed product — see the September 24, 2026 figures above for current pricing. For competitive players, most cards lost Standard legality in April 2026, though Block X preserves Manga Rares permanently.
What happened to OP-04 cards after the April 2026 rotation?
OP-04 cards (Block 1) left Standard tournament play in April 2026. Manga Rare cards receive Block X status and remain legal permanently. Select cards reprinted in PRB-02 also received updated block numbers. Casual and unofficial formats may still allow Block 1 cards.
How much is the Sabo Manga Rare from OP-04 worth?
The Sabo “Flame Emperor” Manga Rare (OP04-083) is a Japanese comic-parallel print. On SNKRDUNK, the lowest asking price was ¥57,800 on September 24, 2026. Graded examples (PSA 10) carry additional premiums. The card retains Block X tournament legality.
What is Block X in One Piece TCG?
Block X is a permanent legality designation introduced by Bandai alongside the 2026 rotation system. All Manga Rare cards (including their non-Manga versions) automatically receive Block X status, meaning they can never be rotated out of Standard play. For OP-04, this means the Sabo Manga Rare and its base SR version remain tournament-legal indefinitely, regardless of Block 1’s rotation.
Can I still use OP-04 cards in tournaments after rotation?
In Standard format (the primary tournament format since April 2026), most OP-04 cards have not been legal. Exceptions include Block X cards (Manga Rares and their base versions) and cards reprinted in PRB-02 with updated block numbers. Unofficial events and casual play may continue to allow all cards. Check the official BANDAI rules page for the latest legality updates.
