Centiskorch V and Centiskorch VMAX were printed across three Japanese sets between April 2020 and December 2021, each with a different treatment — from a straightforward Double Rare debut to a gold Shiny Ultra Rare and a Character Super Rare closer. This guide lists every confirmed print with its set, card number and rarity.
We stock the Japanese booster boxes for all three source sets out of Tokyo. A site search does not surface any Centiskorch singles in our own catalogue as of this snapshot, so the buying routes below are sealed boxes rather than singles.
Centiskorch V and VMAX appear across three Japanese sets: S2a Explosive Walker (Double Rare pair), S4a Shiny Star V (Double/Triple Rare plus Shiny Ultra Rare golds), and S8b VMAX Climax (Double/Triple Rare plus Character Super Rare). The English equivalents are in Darkness Ablaze. Sealed S4a Shiny Star V boxes (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) and S8b VMAX Climax boxes are both currently listed and in stock.
Box prices below are what samuraiswordtokyo.com currently lists as of the Aug 28, 2026 snapshot, converted at ¥159/USD. Prices and stock levels change — treat the yen figures as the source of truth and the dollar figures as an approximate guide.

That is six Centiskorch V prints and five Centiskorch VMAX prints, split across the three sets below: three in S2a, four in S4a and four in S8b.
S2a Explosive Walker: The Originals
Explosive Walker, released 24 April 2020 as a 78-card set, is where the Japanese Centiskorch V and VMAX pair debuted. Both the V (#16) and VMAX (#17) landed as Double Rares, and Centiskorch V also got a second print, a Secret Rare, at #72.
We do not currently list a Centiskorch single from this set. Sealed S2a Explosive Walker boxes are currently listed at ¥44,100 (~$277) and are low stock — only 2 left. For the full checklist, see our S2a Explosive Walker set guide.
S4a Shiny Star V: The Gold Prints
Shiny Star V, a 326-card set released 20 November 2020, is where Centiskorch V and VMAX got their Shiny Ultra Rare gold prints. Alongside a standard Double Rare V (#27) and Triple Rare VMAX (#28), the set’s “shiny vault” produced gold Shiny Ultra Rare versions of both — V at #309 and VMAX at #310.
The #309/#310 gold pair is Centiskorch’s Shiny Ultra Rare entry — the full-gold “shiny” treatment applied to a subset of Pokemon in the set. For the complete 326-card checklist, see our Shiny Star V (S4a) card list. Sealed S4a Shiny Star V boxes (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) are currently listed at ¥22,680 (~$143) with 89 in stock.
S8b VMAX Climax: The Character Rares
VMAX Climax, released 3 December 2021 as a 277-card set built around VMAX Pokemon, closed out the Centiskorch line-up with a Double Rare V (#22), a Triple Rare VMAX (#23), and a pair of Character Super Rares — V at #218 and VMAX at #219.
The Character Super Rare pair (#218 V, #219 VMAX) is a separate rarity tier from the set’s standard Double and Triple Rares. For the full breakdown, see our VMAX Climax (S8b) card list.
Japanese vs English: Darkness Ablaze
The English equivalents of Centiskorch V and Centiskorch VMAX were printed in Darkness Ablaze, released as a matched pair. Our Darkness Ablaze Japanese card list covers how that set’s checklist maps to its Japanese source material.
The artwork is shared between the Japanese and English prints, but the rarity slot a card lands in — Double Rare, Triple Rare, Character Super Rare and so on — is set by each language’s own print run, so the three Japanese sets above don’t map one-to-one onto the single English set.
Where to Buy Centiskorch V & VMAX from Japan
A site search does not return any of the eleven Centiskorch V/VMAX prints above as singles, so the practical route is sealed booster boxes from the source set:
- S2a Explosive Walker box — currently listed at ¥44,100 (~$277), low stock, only 2 left. Source of the Double Rare V/VMAX pair and the Secret Rare V.
- S4a Shiny Star V box (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) — currently listed at ¥22,680 (~$143), 89 in stock. Source of the Double/Triple Rare pair and both Shiny Ultra Rare golds.
- S8b VMAX Climax box — currently listed at ¥38,000 (~$239), reduced from ¥39,520, 70 in stock. Source of the Double/Triple Rare pair and both Character Super Rares.
All three ship from our Tokyo warehouse with tracked delivery. If you would rather build a mixed order across several Japanese sets in one go, our Quick Order page is the fastest way to do it.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many Japanese Centiskorch V and VMAX cards are there?
Eleven confirmed prints across three sets: six Centiskorch V cards and five Centiskorch VMAX cards, spanning S2a Explosive Walker, S4a Shiny Star V and S8b VMAX Climax.
Which Centiskorch prints carry the highest-named rarity tiers?
S4a Shiny Star V’s Shiny Ultra Rares — Centiskorch V #309 and Centiskorch VMAX #310 — and S8b VMAX Climax’s Character Super Rares — Centiskorch V #218 and Centiskorch VMAX #219 — are the highest-named rarity tiers in this guide. Rarity naming differs by set, so we don’t rank them against each other.
Does samuraiswordtokyo.com sell Centiskorch V or VMAX singles?
Not as of this snapshot — a site search does not return any of the eleven prints as singles in our catalogue. We do stock sealed booster boxes for all three source sets: S2a Explosive Walker, S4a Shiny Star V and S8b VMAX Climax.
What is the English equivalent of the Japanese Centiskorch V and VMAX cards?
Darkness Ablaze, which released Centiskorch V and Centiskorch VMAX as its own matched pair. The three Japanese sets above don’t map one-to-one onto that single English set, and rarity slots differ between the two languages.
What does “Character Super Rare” mean on the S8b VMAX Climax prints?
It is a rarity tier used in VMAX Climax, distinct from the set’s standard Double Rare and Triple Rare cards. See our Japanese rarity symbols guide for the full rarity list.
