If you only need the card number, it is OP13-079. The set code is OP-13, written OP13 in card numbers. The rest of this guide covers what the card is, what it does, which cards the official pages connect to it, when it came out and what the pack holds.
Looking for something to buy while you read? Our Unsealed MEGA Booster Box “30th CELEBRATION” (Japanese) (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) is a separate Pokémon set listed now. It has no connection to Imu or to One Piece. More on it in the “available now” section below.
What is the Imu leader card?
The Imu leader card is OP13-079, a Black Leader card listed in the Leader Card Introduction of OP-13 on the official English product page. The official Japanese product page lists Imu as Leader card OP13-079 in Black too, so both regional pages give the same number and color.
The English page quotes the card text that Imu “unsettlingly manipulates the Trash!” The official ONE PIECE news post on one-piece.com calls Imu a mysterious figure and says the character appears in the One Piece Card Game for the first time with this set.
OP-13 has other Leader cards. The news post names Gol.D.Roger as the Leader card of the Pirate King and says the main trio of the set is the three brothers Ace, Sabo and Luffy. The Japanese product page lists 6 Leader cards in the set contents, so Imu is one of six.
What does the Imu leader card do?
Imu’s effect lets you start the game with one {Mary Geoise} type Stage card in play. This is stated on the official “(Black) Imu” feature page, which is dated November 7, 2025 and uses OP13-079 as its Leader.
The same page ties Imu to the {Five Elders} Characters and to OP13-099 The Empty Throne, a Stage card the page says is used to play those Characters for reduced cost. That makes the Five Elders cards the natural group to read about next.
The page also names the products involved: BOOSTER PACK -CARRYING ON HIS WILL- [OP-13] and PREMIUM BOOSTER -ONE PIECE CARD THE BEST vol.2- [PRB-02]. For the exact current wording of the effect, use the official card pages for your edition.
The deck list on that feature page shows how the pieces fit. It runs one copy of OP13-079 as the Leader plus 50 non-Leader cards. Four copies each of OP13-080, OP13-083, OP13-084, OP13-089 and OP13-091 (the five Five Elders cards) are included, along with four copies each of OP13-082, OP13-086 and OP13-096, and a single copy of OP13-099 The Empty Throne.
How do you read the card number OP13-079?
OP13-079 reads as card number 079 of the OP13 set, the code of booster pack OP-13. Product pages write the set code with a hyphen (OP-13), and card numbers write it without one (OP13-079).
Cards from OP-13 carry the OP13 prefix: OP13-079, OP13-086, OP13-099 and so on. One card on the official Imu feature page carries the prefix PRB02, as in PRB02-014, and the same page names PREMIUM BOOSTER [PRB-02] among the products used.
Both official OP-13 pages and the feature page use OP13-079 for Imu, and both product pages list it as a Black Leader card. When you compare any listing, check that the number reads OP13-079 and that the color is Black.
| Part of the number | What it is | Example from the sources |
|---|---|---|
| OP13 | Set code used in card numbers of booster pack OP-13 | OP13-079 Imu |
| 079 | Number within the OP13 numbering | OP13-079 is the Leader |
| PRB02 | Prefix of a card on the official Imu page; the page names PRB-02 among the products used | PRB02-014 |
Which Five Elders cards are in OP-13?
The English product page lists five Five Elders cards, each tagged Godhead of a field. They are the cards the official Imu feature page links to Imu.
| Card number | Name | Title |
|---|---|---|
| OP13-080 | St. Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro | Godhead of Finance |
| OP13-083 | St. Jaygarcia Saturn | Godhead of Science & Defence |
| OP13-084 | St. Shepherd Ju Peter | Godhead of Agriculture |
| OP13-089 | St. Topman Warcury | Godhead of Justice |
| OP13-091 | St. Marcus Mars | Godhead of Environment |
The English page says the World Government and Five Elders cards have a “New illustration by Gege Akutami, creator of ‘Jujutsu Kaisen’.” The official ONE PIECE news post says the same for the five parallel rare Five Elders cards (source). It names them: St. Jaygarcia Saturn, St. Marcus Mars, St. Topman Warcury, St. Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro and St. Shepherd Ju Peter.
Which other OP-13 cards do the official pages name next to Imu?
Besides the five Five Elders cards, the official Imu feature page names a handful of other OP-13 cards by name. The table lists only names the page prints.
| Card number | Name given on the page | Type given on the page |
|---|---|---|
| OP13-079 | Imu | Leader |
| OP13-082 | Five Elders | Not stated |
| OP13-086 | Saint Shalria | Not stated |
| OP13-096 | The Five Elders Are at Your Service!!! | Not stated |
| OP13-099 | The Empty Throne | Stage |
Other card numbers on that page appear only as numbers, so this guide does not name them.
What did the official sources say about Imu before release?
The official ONE PIECE news post says a teaser video for OP-13 was shown on August 10, 2025 at ONE PIECE DAY’25, held at Tokyo Big Sight. It is the news post for the set on one-piece.com.
That post names Ace, Sabo and Luffy as the three main brothers of the set and Gol.D.Roger as the Leader card of the Pirate King. It describes Imu as a figure with much mystery who appears in the One Piece Card Game for the first time. It also lists the five parallel rare Five Elders cards and notes that their illustrations are new work by Gege Akutami, creator of Jujutsu Kaisen.
The official product pages, the feature page and this news post are the sources for the facts in this guide.
When was the Imu leader card released?
The Japanese edition of OP-13 released on August 23, 2025, and the English-language product page lists November 7, 2025. Both dates come from official pages: the Japanese product page and the English product page. The official news post gives the same Japanese date and the ¥220 tax-included price.
The official English Imu feature page carries the same date as the English release, November 7, 2025.
| Detail | Japanese page | English page |
|---|---|---|
| Release date | August 23, 2025 | November 7, 2025 |
| Price | ¥220 tax included per pack | USD $4.99 per pack |
| Contents listed | 6 cards per pack; 132 types + 1 | 133+1 card types |
| Imu | OP13-079, Black Leader | OP13-079, Black Leader |
| Illustration note | Photos may differ slightly from the actual product | Illustrations may differ from the final product |
The two pages count card types slightly differently: 132+1 on the Japanese page and 133+1 on the English page. Imu is listed the same way on both.
The Japanese page also lists an application period of December 18 to December 24, 2025 for a Premium Bandai lottery sale.
What is inside the booster pack with the Imu leader card?
A Japanese OP-13 pack holds 6 cards, and the set lists Leader Cards, Commons, Uncommons, Rares, Super Rares, Secret Rares, Special Cards and Special 3rd Anniversary Cards. The English page gives the rarity names, and the Japanese page adds counts.
From the Japanese page, the counts are 6 Leader cards, 26 Rares, 10 Super Rares, 3 Secret Rares, 10 Special Cards and 2 Special 3rd Anniversary Cards. The page prints two different Commons counts (45 and 30), so use the English page’s rarity names as the cleaner list and treat the Commons count as unsettled.
| Rarity or card group | English page | Japanese page count |
|---|---|---|
| Leader Cards | Listed | 6 |
| Rares | Listed | 26 |
| Super Rares | Listed | 10 |
| Secret Rares | Listed | 3 |
| Special Cards | Listed | 10 |
| Special 3rd Anniversary Cards | Listed | 2 |
The Japanese page states that cards are inserted at random, that photos may differ somewhat from the actual product and that product specifications may change. The English page says illustrations may differ from the final product.
What should you check when comparing an Imu leader card listing?
Check four things: the card number OP13-079, the Black color, the Leader type and the edition. These are the details the official pages state the same way in both languages.
Then check the edition itself. The Japanese edition and the English-language product have different release dates (August 23 and November 7, 2025) and different pack prices on the official pages. The pages also warn that illustrations or photos may differ from the final product, so treat any image as a guide to the card, not a guarantee of print details.
Finally, check the notices for your edition. The English page lists errata for OP13-119 and OP13-077, and neither is the Imu card. The Japanese page carries a notice dated August 18, 2025 about a card-text typo.
When are OP-13 cards tournament legal, and are there errata?
The English OP-13 page says cards are tournament legal 7 days after the release date in your region, and legal from the pre-release date at your local game store. This is the rule printed for the set on the official English OP-13 page.
That page also lists errata notices for OP13-119 (October 30, 2025) and OP13-077 (October 24, 2025). Neither of those is OP13-079. The Japanese page separately lists a notice dated August 18, 2025 about a card-text typo and an apology for the correction. For current notices on any card, the official product page for your edition is the place to look before you play.
Should you check the Japanese or English page for the Imu leader card?
Check the page for the edition you plan to own or play: the Japanese page for the Japanese edition and the English page for the English-language product. Imu’s number, color and type are the same on both.
The differences are the release date (August 23 versus November 7, 2025), the pack price (¥220 tax included versus USD $4.99), the card-type count (132+1 versus 133+1) and the notices each page carries. The English page holds the tournament-legality line and the errata list. The Japanese page holds the cards-per-pack figure and the per-rarity counts.
