OP-18 vs OP-17 is the choice facing anyone putting together a Japanese One Piece Card Game order before late November 2026. One set is released, currently listed and shipping; the other has a pending release date, a growing list of reported reveals, and no listing at our store.
This guide puts the two sets side by side — what’s reported, what’s pending, and which box fits what you’re trying to buy.
OP-17 The World’s Strongest Warriors released August 22, 2026 and is currently listed at ¥12,480 (~$81) (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order). For OP-18 神の支配, Bandai’s official X account lists OP-18 as releasing 11/22 (posted as a Saturday), while major Japanese retailers list Saturday, November 28, 2026; the official product page had not been published as of September 25, 2026, so treat the exact day as pending — late November 2026. We list no OP-18 product; sourcing requests for OP-18 boxes go through Quick Order once the set is released.
