Gerd EB-05: Character Cards Guide

Gerd in EB-05 (EB05) is a single card: the SP CARD parallel-art version of OP17-081, listed in the official card list for EXTRA BOOSTER -ONE PIECE Heroines Edition vol.2- [EB-05]. It is a Black, cost 2 Slash Character with 3000 power and a 2000 counter. This guide covers that one card.

Updated November 9, 2026

What are the key facts for Gerd in EB-05?

The key facts are one card number, one rarity and one set. Gerd appears in EB-05 only as an SP CARD, and the card number is the OP17 number, not an EB05 number.

Sources: the official EB-05 card list, the official EB-05 product page and the official Japanese product page.

If you want the sealed product that carries this card, the EB-05 Heroines Edition vol.2 Japanese One Piece Booster Box is the regular box we list.

The set name matters because the same word, Gerd, can lead you to more than one product. The card shares its number with the version in the OP17 series, and the EB-05 copy is the parallel-art SP CARD. Every fact in the table above can be checked on the official pages linked under it. The rest of this guide goes through the stats, the number, the other SP cards, the box and the order terms, in that order.

What are Gerd’s printed stats and effect?

Gerd is a cost 2 Black Character with 3000 power and a 2000 counter, and the official list prints a conditional cost boost plus an On Play recursion effect. The figures below come from the official card list.

The effect text reads: if your Leader has the {Elbaph} type, this Character gains +12 cost. [On Play] You may trash 1 card from your hand: Add up to 1 Character card with a cost of 8 or less other than [Gerd] from your trash to your hand.

In plain terms, the On Play effect lets you trade one card from your hand for a Character from your trash, as long as that Character costs 8 or less and is not another Gerd. The word “may” in the text means the trash is optional: you choose whether to pay the card. The cost boost only applies when your Leader has the Elbaph type. This is a reading of the printed text, not a deck recommendation.

The three type words printed on the card are Giant, Elbaph and New Giant Pirates. The Elbaph type is the one the effect refers to, so it is the type to look for on a Leader if you want the +12 cost line to apply. A card that has no matching Leader still keeps its cost 2, 3000 power and 2000 counter, and the On Play effect does not depend on the Leader at all.

Is the Gerd in EB-05 the same card as OP17-081?

Yes, it shares the card number OP17-081, but the EB-05 version is the parallel art SP CARD. The official EB-05 list marks it as the parallel art version of that number, and the official card list for the OP17 series prints the same stats and effect for Gerd as an SP CARD.

That matters when you search or buy. Searching for “EB05 Gerd” will not turn up an EB05 card number, because no such number exists for Gerd. Search for OP17-081 and look for the SP CARD rarity. The rarity codes on the official list are L (Leader), SR (Super Rare), R (Rare), C (Common), SEC (Secret Rare) and SP CARD.

A short checklist for matching a listing to this card:

• Number: OP17-081.
• Rarity: SP CARD, not C, R, SR, L or SEC.
• Stats: Black, cost 2, Slash, 3000 power, 2000 counter.
• Types: Giant / Elbaph / New Giant Pirates.
• Effect: +12 cost with an Elbaph Leader, and the On Play trash-and-recover line.

If a listing gives only the character name, the number and rarity are what separate this card from any other print of Gerd.

Which other SP cards are in EB-05 next to Gerd?

Gerd is one of 6 types of SP cards named on the official page. The other five are EB05-006 Miss Buckingham Stussy, OP14-033 Perona, ST17-004 Boa Hancock, EB05-031 Vinsmoke Reiju and OP17-109 Charlotte Pudding, per the official product page.

Two of the six, Gerd and Charlotte Pudding, carry OP17 numbers. Perona carries OP14-033 and Boa Hancock carries ST17-004. Only Stussy and Reiju carry EB05 numbers. So when you search for an SP card from this set, the prefix can be EB05, OP14, ST17 or OP17, and the character name alone is not enough.

For the set’s headline cards, the box listing names Nami (EB05-055 Super Rare, illustrated by Kentaro Yabuki), the Nico Robin Leader and the eight heroine Special Cards as early collector watch points. We cover those in our EB-05 complete guide. If you want the other SP cards one by one, we have separate fact sheets for Stussy EB05-006, Reiju EB05-031 and the Boa Hancock SP.

The pictures above show other cards from the set, not Gerd. They are there to show the set’s look next to the SP card this guide covers.

What does an EB-05 box contain, and when does it release?

An EB-05 box holds 24 packs of 6 cards, 144 cards in total, and the Japanese release date is October 31, 2026. The set has 75 + 2 card types: 7 Leaders, 29 Commons, 21 Rares, 9 Super Rares, 1 Secret Rare and 8 Special Cards, plus 2 DON!! cards.

The first six rows add up to the 75 types in the “75 + 2” figure, and the two DON!! card types are the “+ 2”. The official Japanese page lists a pack MSRP of 240 yen tax included, and a lottery sale via the P-Bandai site with applications from October 30 to November 5, 2026. The official pages note that multiples of one card may appear and a full set may be hard to assemble, and that illustrations and product details may change.

The three official pages give the release in slightly different forms, so here they are side by side.

The Asia English page says an English version is planned. This guide is about the Japanese edition, which is the one our listings carry. The USD price on the English site is the MSRP for that site’s product, so do not read it as the price of a Japanese pack.

The rarity breakdown counts card types, not copies. It tells you there is 1 Secret Rare type and 9 Super Rare types in the set, but it does not say how often any type appears in a box, and no pack odds are quoted here. Our box listing states that individual card pulls are not guaranteed. For more on contents, see our EB-05 box guide.

Which EB-05 box should you choose if you want Gerd?

Choose the regular box if you want a clean outer box, and the damaged-box listing only if outer-box condition does not matter to you. Both are Japanese edition and ship from our Tokyo warehouse via FedEx with tracking, and neither one guarantees a Gerd SP.

The regular listing is the EB-05 Heroines Edition vol.2 Japanese One Piece Booster Box. It is a sealed, randomized product, and the specific cards in each box are packed at the factory.

The second is the EB-05 Heroines Edition vol.2 Japanese One Piece Booster Box – Damaged Box (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order). The damage is cosmetic and its type and extent vary by item. The photos on that listing are samples: the first image shows the regular product, and the rest are general examples of outer-box damage on other products, not the box you will receive. The listing says the item is sold as-is, with no returns or refunds.

If you want the card itself rather than a random box, the pack route is a gamble for any single card, including this SP. Our EB-05 buying guide explains how to choose between a box and singles. For the full set picture, EB-05 vs EB-03 compares which heroines return.

How do shipping and payment work for this order?

Shipping is by FedEx with tracking, and payment is in Japanese yen through Wise, PayPal or cards via PayPal. These are the terms on our own policy pages.

• Standard: FedEx International Connect Plus, usually 3-7 business days after dispatch. This is an estimate, not a guaranteed date.
• Expedited: FedEx International Priority, usually 2-5 business days after dispatch, also an estimate.
• Handling: most orders are processed and shipped within 5 business days after PayPal or Wise payment has cleared. This is an estimate, not a guarantee, and business days exclude weekends and Japanese national holidays.
• Cost: shipping is calculated at checkout from your delivery address. There is no minimum order amount or quantity.
• Customs: once FedEx has the parcel, delivery timing is controlled by the carrier and destination-country authorities.
• Payment fee: Wise bank transfer carries no processing fee; PayPal and card payments carry a 5% payment processing fee.

Details are on the shipping policy and the payment methods page. FedEx cannot deliver to P.O. Boxes, so use a physical address.

The delivery estimates shown on the site, at checkout or in carrier tools do not include handling time, supplier allocation delays, quality inspection holds, weekends, Japanese national holidays, customs processing, carrier congestion, weather or destination-country delivery conditions. If dispatch is delayed, the policy says we email you as soon as practical with a revised estimate, and for significant delays before handoff to FedEx we may offer the option to wait or to cancel with a full refund. Transit delays after dispatch do not by themselves create a right to cancel or refund.

On payment, the details that matter most for a box order are these:

• Currency: all payments are made in Japanese yen. Any difference between the amount charged and your statement comes from exchange rates and conversion fees set by your card issuer, bank or PayPal.
• Wise without a screenshot: the order is cancelled automatically if payment has not been received within 12 hours (3 hours if the order contains a pre-order item).
• Wise with a screenshot: upload it within 5 days; the order price is then held for a total of 10 days. The screenshot option requires an account and is not available at guest checkout.
• Wise reference: enter the payment reference SST-{order number} exactly as issued.
• SWIFT: payments received by SWIFT incur a receiving fee of JPY 611, so add JPY 611 to your order total.
• Cards: Visa, Mastercard, American Express and JCB through the black Debit or Credit Card button, handled in PayPal’s own window; which brands appear is decided by PayPal.
• Pay Later: PayPal may show a Pay Later option, offered and operated by PayPal. In the United States it appears as PayPal Pay in 4, with 4 payments, one every 2 weeks.

If you spot a wrong address before the shipment is scheduled, the policy lets you update the shipping address yourself from My Account > Orders. The destination country cannot be changed, and if the new address costs more to ship to, you pay the difference before dispatch.

Bottom line on Gerd EB-05

Gerd EB05 means one card to search for: OP17-081 in SP CARD rarity. Check the number and rarity on the official list, and treat a box purchase as a random draw rather than a way to get this card for certain. For a Leader card in this set, see our fact sheet on Nefeltari Vivi EB03-001 in EB-05.
