What’s in a Chaos Origins Booster Box

Chaos Origins (set code CORI) is a Yu-Gi-Oh OCG core booster that released in Japan on April 25, 2026, per Konami’s official product page. A sealed box contains 30 packs, and each pack holds 5 cards, for 150 cards per box. The official tax-inclusive MSRP is ¥198 per pack (¥180 before tax), which works out to ¥5,940 per box (~$39) at official retail — that’s Konami’s list price for the structure of the product, not a price we’re quoting for our own stock.

The set totals 80 unique cards across the standard rarity ladder, before any of the set’s parallel treatments are counted:

Rarity Card count
Ultimate Rare 4
Ultra Rare 8
Super Rare 10
Rare 18
Normal 40
Total unique cards 80

On top of that base ladder, Konami layers three parallel treatments across the set: 24 cards get a Prismatic Secret Rare treatment, 30 cards get a Secret Rare treatment, and 4 cards appear as special “overframe” prints in Prismatic Secret Rare. These are alternate print treatments of cards already in the 80-card pool, not additional unique cards.

First-production boxes carry one more thing worth knowing about before you buy: a bonus “+1 Expansion Pack” containing one card drawn from a 15-card pool of higher-rarity reprints, including four cards with new artwork. It was included with the initial print run.

Chase Cards in Chaos Origins

The verified card highlighted here spans several of the set’s top rarity tiers. We’re covering it by rarity tier, not by pull rate or market price — Konami hasn’t officially confirmed pull rates for this set, so we don’t treat any pull-rate figure as fact.

Black Luster Soldier – Soldier of Light and Darkness (CORI-JP028)

This card is printed across multiple rarity tiers within the set: Ultra Rare, Secret Rare, and Prismatic Secret Rare, including an overframe version. That places CORI-JP028 among the set’s verified chase prints without conflating its treatment with Quarter Century Secret Rare.

For the complete 80-card list with every rarity variant, see our CORI Chaos Origins card list. Our CORI pull-rates and best-cards article goes further into community pull-rate discussion — we don’t repeat those figures here since Konami hasn’t confirmed them, but it’s a useful companion read if that’s what you’re after. For general background on how Chaos Origins fits into Konami’s booster line-up, see our Chaos Origins set explainer.

Regular Box vs Damaged Box vs No Shrink on Our Site

We list sealed Japanese booster boxes under a few different condition categories, and it’s worth knowing what each one means before you order. Our Damaged Box category is a condition tag we use specifically for cases where the outer box — not the contents — has been affected in shipping or handling. The booster packs inside stay factory-sealed; the change is cosmetic to the outer box only, never to what’s sealed inside it. Regular and No Shrink listings sit apart from that: a regular listing is standard factory-sealed stock, while No Shrink refers to boxes where the outer shrink wrap is no longer present even though the box itself is unopened.

Japanese vs English Version of This Set

Everything above describes the Japanese OCG release of Chaos Origins — the version we import and list, released April 25, 2026. An English-language TCG release also exists under the same “Chaos Origins” name. Yu-Gi-Oh runs two separate print lines globally, OCG (Japanese) and TCG (English/international), and the two don’t always share an identical card pool or release calendar even when a set name matches on both sides. Konami’s TCG page lists the English Chaos Origins at 100 cards against the Japanese set’s 80 card types, so the two are not the same card list.

What we can say with certainty from Konami’s official specifications is that the Japanese release has an 80-card base rarity structure with the parallel Prismatic Secret Rare and Secret Rare treatments detailed above.
