One Piece Card Game Guest Illustrators: Amano (OP-18), Yabuki (EB-05)

All Six Artists in One Table

Only rows that an official channel or a named outlet supports appear. Card numbers are printed only where an official image shows one.

The Artists, One by One

Kentaro Yabuki: Nami in EB-05 (official)

Yabuki’s credit is on a Character card, Nami EB05-055, SR with a star mark, cost 5, power 6000. The post attaches two images: one with a cat-silhouette background and one with a close-up of Nami’s face. Japanese media call them a regular version (通常版) and a foil-stamped version (箔押しver.), wording that is not in the official post. The card was shown in the October 4, 2026 livestream, and the only post from his side is a staff-signed one. His career and the announcement are in the Yabuki write-up, and the card data is in the card write-up.

Yoshitaka Amano: Loki and Saint Shamrock in OP-18 (official)

The official staff post of August 23, 2026 reads, in Japanese: 「FINAL FANTASYなどのキャラクター＆ビジュアルを手がける ─ 天野喜孝さん描きおろし ─ ロキ、シャムロックは11月発売のブースターパック第18弾に収録！」. In English, roughly (our rendering): Yoshitaka Amano, who handles characters and visuals for FINAL FANTASY and more, newly drew Loki and Shamrock, and both are included in the booster pack due in November. The same day, one-piece.com wrote that the illustrations of 「シャムロック聖」 and 「ロキ」 by Amano were being shown in full.

The sample images attached to the post show Loki with the number OP17-119, SEC, cost 6, power 8000, traits 巨人族/エルバフ, and Saint Shamrock with OP18-119, SEC, cost 8, power 9000, traits 天竜人/神の騎士団. The official card list confirms OP17-119 ロキ as an OP-17 Secret Rare, a black card with cost 6 and power 8000. The official Japanese OP-18 product page does not mention Amano; the credit lives on the X post and on one-piece.com. Whether the Amano cards also come in a foil-stamped parallel is reported only by essential-japan.com, which wrote on August 23, 2026 of “parallel versions featuring foil-stamped treatments”; the official texts do not say 箔押し. Our OP-18 chase cards write-up covers the set’s reported parallels.

Keisuke Itagaki: Kaido in OP-17 (reported)

Toy People wrote on August 3, 2026 that Itagaki, the Baki artist, drew 「最強生物 百獣のカイドウ」 for 「世界最強の戦士【OP-17】」, which went on sale in Japan on August 22, 2026, and that he drew it newly for that pack. The announcement came on August 2, 2026 with the OP-17 lineup. No card number is given for this card. The set’s parallel cards are covered in the OP-17 manga rare and parallel guide.

Gege Akutami: Five Elders parallel in OP-13 (reported)

Inside Games wrote on August 22, 2025 that the Five Elders (五老星) parallel, a rare card in 「受け継がれる意志【OP-13】」, the 3rd-anniversary booster, uses a newly drawn illustration by Akutami, author of Jujutsu Kaisen. No card number is given for this card either.

Yuto Suzuki: Shanks, Jump 2024 issue 45 promo (reported)

Comic Natalie wrote on October 7, 2024 that the cards bundled with Weekly Shonen Jump are newly drawn by Jump authors, and that issue 45, on sale October 7, 2024, carries Shanks by Suzuki, the SAKAMOTO DAYS artist. One photo caption in that article reads the other way, crediting Suzuki with a Buggy card, while the article body says Suzuki drew Shanks and Usuta drew Buggy; the body text is the fuller statement.

Kyosuke Usuta: Buggy, Jump 2024 issue 46 promo (reported)

The same Comic Natalie article says issue 46, on sale October 15, 2024, carries Buggy by Usuta, whose works include Pyu to Fuku! Jaguar and Sugoi yo!! Masaru-san. No card number is given for this card.

Booster-Pack Cards and Magazine Promos

The six rows are not one kind of product. They split in two:

• Booster-pack cards. Yabuki (EB-05), Amano (OP-18), Itagaki (OP-17) and Akutami (OP-13). They are included in booster sets; the official EB-05 page states that its cards are packed at random.
• Magazine promo cards. Suzuki and Usuta. Comic Natalie describes cards bundled with Weekly Shonen Jump issues 45 and 46 of 2024, each newly drawn by a Jump author.

The difference decides where a card can be found. A promo is tied to a magazine issue. A set card is tied to a pack. Our comic parallel guide explains the parallel treatments that set cards can carry.

The Words Bandai Uses for Alternate Versions

The Akutami card is reported as a parallel and the Yabuki Nami comes in two versions, so the vocabulary matters. Bandai’s own words are narrower than the collector words used in headlines:

Two consequences follow for guest-art cards. A card described in headlines as a “comic parallel” is using a media word. And a foil-stamped label on an Amano or Yabuki card is attributed to the outlet that used it, not to Bandai. When a card list is published after release, the rarity and treatment words printed there are the ones to follow.

Checklist Before Chasing a Guest-Art Card

1. The status word. Official, reported with an outlet and date, or not printed; each artist row carries one.
2. The set date. Japan is October 31, 2026 for EB-05 and November 21, 2026 for OP-18.
3. Set card or promo. A Jump promo is not a booster card.
4. Version names. 通常版, 箔押しver. and “parallel” are media wording unless Bandai prints them.
5. The official card list. It has no EB-05 or OP-18 rows as of October 6, 2026.
