OP-16 Booster Box Buying Guide: The Time of Battle Japanese One Piece Box

OP-16 Booster Box Buying Guide: The Time of Battle Japanese One Piece Box

OP-16, The Time of Battle, is One Piece Card Game’s set for the Summit War arc — Marineford and Impel Down — and it introduced six new Leaders built specifically around that story. It released in Japan on May 30, 2026, with the English-language version following two weeks later, on June 12, 2026.

If you’re deciding whether to open a box of OP-16, this guide covers what’s actually inside one, which cards define the set’s chase tier, how our Regular and Damaged Box listings for this set compare, and where the Japanese and English versions currently stand. We ship Japanese sealed product out of Tokyo, so every price below reflects our own live listings today — not a historical snapshot or a third-party figure.

Key Takeaway

OP-16, The Time of Battle, is a 127-card set (126 numbered cards plus 1 DON!! card) built around the Summit War arc, sold in 24-pack boxes of 6 cards per pack. The chase tier is topped by two Secret Rares — Portgas D. Ace (OP16-118) and Marshall D. Teach (OP16-119) — plus three Admiral Super Parallels. Our OP-16 Regular Box is currently listed at ¥12,600 (~$79), and the Damaged Box variant is currently listed at ¥11,400 (~$72).

Theme Summit War — Marineford & Impel Down

The set introduces six new Leaders built around the Summit War storyline: Portgas D. Ace (OP16-001), Monkey D. Luffy (OP16-022), Buggy (OP16-041), Sengoku (OP16-060), Yamato (OP16-079), and Marshall D. Teach (OP16-080). That’s a wider Leader spread than a lot of OPTCG sets manage in one release, and it’s the reason OP-16 reads as a full arc set rather than a single-character showcase.

The 24-pack, 6-card box format is the standard structure the game has used across recent Japanese releases, so if you’ve opened other OPTCG boxes the count here won’t surprise you — what’s different set to set is where the chase cards sit in the rarity spread, which is what the next section covers.

Chase Cards in OP-16: The Time of Battle

OP-16’s chase tier centers on the two half-brothers at the heart of the Summit War arc — Portgas D. Ace and Marshall D. Teach — both printed as Secret Rares, plus a trio of Admiral Super Parallels: Kuzan, Sakazuki, and Borsalino.

Portgas D. Ace — OP16-118, Secret Rare

Portgas D. Ace, OP16-118, Secret Rare — OP-16 The Time of Battle

Ace’s Secret Rare is one of two SEC-tier cards in the set, and his role as the arc’s central figure at Marineford makes it a fitting chase card for this release.

Marshall D. Teach — OP16-119, Secret Rare

Teach’s Secret Rare sits directly alongside Ace’s at the top of the set’s rarity chart, printed one card number apart. He’s also one of OP-16’s six new Leaders, giving him both a Leader slot and this SEC single within the same release.

Kuzan (Aokiji) — OP16-063, Super Parallel

Kuzan is the first of three Admiral Super Parallels in OP-16 — a rarity tier the set uses specifically to give each of the three Marine Admirals their own premium-foil version.

Sakazuki (Akainu) — OP16-065, Super Parallel

Sakazuki’s Super Parallel is the second of the three Admiral prints, numbered close to Kuzan’s within the same block of the checklist.

Borsalino (Kizaru) — OP16-073, Super Parallel

Borsalino Kizaru card OP16-073, Super Parallel, OP-16 The Time of Battle

Borsalino rounds out the Admiral trio. Together, the three Super Parallels give OP-16 a themed chase set within the chase set — all three Marineford-era Admirals, each in the same premium finish.

Card Number Rarity
Portgas D. Ace OP16-118 Secret Rare
Marshall D. Teach OP16-119 Secret Rare
Kuzan (Aokiji) OP16-063 Super Parallel
Sakazuki (Akainu) OP16-065 Super Parallel
Borsalino (Kizaru) OP16-073 Super Parallel

Regular Box vs Damaged Box for OP-16

OP-16 The Time of Battle Japanese One Piece Booster Box, Damaged Box listing
OP-16 The Time of Battle Japanese One Piece Booster Box — Damaged Box listing

We list two versions of this box. On our site, “Damaged Box” is a condition category for sealed boxes where the outer packaging — not the contents — is affected. The individual packs inside stay factory-sealed either way; the distinction is about the condition of the outer box, not a change to what’s inside it.

Right now, the Regular Box is currently listed at ¥12,600 (~$79) and the Damaged Box is currently listed at ¥11,400 (~$72) — a ¥1,200 gap, with the Regular Box the more expensive of the two today. We don’t currently list a No Shrink variant for OP-16, only these two.

Worth flagging directly: our dedicated OP-16 Regular vs Damaged Box comparison looks at the same two listings in more detail. Prices on both listings move independently of each other, so the live figures above are the ones to use, not that article’s numbers. That comparison article is built around the two-listing price snapshot itself; this guide is the fuller picture — set facts, chase cards, and box contents alongside the pricing.

If you’re weighing OP-16 against its sibling release rather than against its own condition variants, our OP-17 vs OP-16 box buying guide covers that head-to-head comparison separately.

Japanese vs English Version of OP-16

OP-16, The Time of Battle, isn’t a case where the Japanese and English releases carry different names or split into separate card pools the way some sets do. It’s the same set: the English version was released under the same name, two weeks after the Japanese version — June 12, 2026 against a May 30, 2026 Japan release.

What we sell is the Japanese printing, sealed and shipped from Tokyo. If your interest is specifically in the Japanese-language cards — whether for display, for playing in a Japanese-format environment, or simply because that’s the print you collect — the Regular and Damaged Box listings above are both Japanese product.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s inside an OP-16 The Time of Battle booster box?

An OP-16 box contains 24 packs of 6 cards each, drawn from a 127-card set (126 numbered cards plus 1 DON!! card). The set introduces six new Leaders built around the Summit War arc: Portgas D. Ace, Monkey D. Luffy, Buggy, Sengoku, Yamato, and Marshall D. Teach.

What are the chase cards in OP-16?

What’s the difference between the Regular and Damaged Box listings for OP-16?

Damaged Box is a condition category for sealed boxes where the outer packaging is affected; the packs inside stay factory-sealed in both listings. As of today, the Regular Box is currently listed at ¥12,600 (~$79) and the Damaged Box at ¥11,400 (~$72) — a ¥1,200 gap at the time of writing; both listings move independently.

Can I buy graded PSA10 singles from OP-16?

Not at the moment — OP-16 is new enough that we don’t currently have graded singles from this set listed. Sourcing requests for any OP-16 card go through our Quick Order page.

May 30, 2026 in Japan, and June 12, 2026 in English — a two-week gap between the two versions.
