Kaido OP-17: Character Cards Guide to Leader and SR Prints

Kaido OP17 cards are four numbers in the official card list for BOOSTER PACK -The World’s Strongest Warriors- [OP-17] (OP17): the Purple Leader OP17-058, the Super Rares OP17-062 and OP17-063, and the Blue Rare OP17-042. This guide reads the printed text of each Kaido card in the Japanese edition set.

Updated November 11, 2026

Which Kaido OP17 cards are in OP-17 (OP17)?

The official card list for OP-17 shows four Kaido card numbers: OP17-042 (R), OP17-058 (L), OP17-062 (SR) and OP17-063 (SR). Three of them are Purple and tied to the Four Emperors; one is Blue and tied to Rocks Pirates. The list pages are on the official ONE PIECE Card Game card list and the official English-site card list.

The set is the fourth-anniversary release, and Bandai lists the Japanese price as 240 yen per pack (tax included) on its catalog page. If you want a sealed box of the set, the OP-17 Japanese booster box is currently listed at ¥9,290. For the whole set rather than one character, use our OP-17 card list page.

Here is how the four numbers compare at a glance. The figures come from the official printed data.

The four normal printings show a Counter of “-“. One parallel entry of OP17-062 prints differently, and that is covered in the parallel art section below.

What does the Kaido Leader OP17-058 do?

Kaido Leader OP17-058 is a Purple Leader with Life 5 and Power 5000 whose effect shrinks an opposing Character by 2000 power at the cost of one DON!! card. The official text reads: [When Attacking]/[On Your Opponent’s Attack] [Once Per Turn] DON!! −1: Give up to 1 of your opponent’s Characters −2000 power during this turn.

Three details of that text matter in play:

• It works on both turns. The effect triggers when Kaido attacks and when your opponent attacks, so it is not limited to your own turn.
• It is once per turn. You cannot stack it within one turn.
• It costs DON!! −1. You return one DON!! card to your DON!! deck each time, which ties the Leader to the DON!! management that also drives OP17-062 (next section).

The type line reads The Four Emperors/Animal Kingdom Pirates and the attribute is Special. The English official product page lists Kaido in its Four Emperors section, with the image linking to card OP17-058 (official OP-17 product page).

The Leader has a parallel art version under the same card number in the official list. Parallel art versions share the effect text of the normal card, so the choice between them is a matter of artwork, not play. We cover the parallel entries in their own section.

One point of scope: this guide describes printed text. It does not rank Kaido against other Leaders in the set, because the official pages give no tier or win-rate data.

How do the two Kaido Super Rares, OP17-062 and OP17-063, differ?

OP17-062 and OP17-063 are both Cost 10, Power 12000 Purple Strike Characters, but OP17-062 is a [Blocker] that refunds DON!! while OP17-063 boosts Counter values in your hand and can K.O. a Character after it is played. Same stats, two different jobs.

OP17-062: the Blocker that returns DON!!

The official text: [Blocker] [Your Turn] [Once Per Turn] When a DON!! card on your field is returned to your DON!! deck, add up to 1 DON!! card as active from your DON!! deck. Then, set up to 1 of your DON!! cards as active.

In plain terms, each time a DON!! card goes back to the DON!! deck on your turn, you get an active DON!! card in return and can set another DON!! card active. That pairs directly with the Leader OP17-058, whose own cost is DON!! −1. The two cards both read as part of one DON!! returning plan on paper. Whether the combination performs well in a real deck is a testing question that the official pages do not answer.

OP17-063: Counter boost and a played-this-turn K.O.

The official text: All Character cards in your hand without a Counter have a +1000 Counter. [Activate: Main] [Once Per Turn] DON!! −1: If this Character was played on this turn, negate the effect of up to 1 of your opponent’s Characters with a cost of 6 or less during this turn, and K.O. it.

The effect text shown for OP17-063 does not include [Blocker], unlike OP17-062. The K.O. effect has three limits written into it: you pay DON!! −1, the target must have a cost of 6 or less, and OP17-063 must have been played that same turn.

The Block Icon row comes from the official list page for the set. It is a printed value on the card entry, separate from the [Blocker] keyword in the effect text, so read both when you compare the two Super Rares.

The English official product page notes that a Kaido feature highlights a Super Rare card (official OP-17 product page), but it does not say which of the two numbers the feature shows, so this guide does not pick one.

What does Kaido OP17-042 R do in Rocks Pirates decks?

Kaido OP17-042 is a Blue Rare Character with Cost 4 and Power 6000, [Blocker], and an [On Play] effect that gives an opponent’s Character −3000 power if you reveal three Rocks Pirates cards from your hand. The official text: [Blocker] [On Play] You may reveal 3 cards with a type including “Rocks Pirates” from your hand: Give up to 1 of your opponent’s Characters −3000 power during this turn.

Among the four Kaido numbers, this one has the lowest printed cost (4, against 10 for the Super Rares), and it is the Blue one in the official data, so it suits a Blue deck rather than the Purple Four Emperors cards. Its type is Rocks Pirates, and the English product page lists OP17-042 Kaido under its Rocks Pirates section (official OP-17 product page).

The cost to use the effect is the interesting part. “Reveal 3 cards with a type including Rocks Pirates from your hand” is a deck-building requirement as much as a card effect: your hand must contain three cards of that type at the moment the card enters play. The effect is optional (“You may”), so Kaido still arrives as a 6000-power [Blocker] when you cannot or do not want to reveal.

The set also introduces Rocks D. Xebec to the card game for the first time. The official ONE PIECE site news describes Xebec as bringing together Edward Newgate, Charlotte Linlin and Kaido, who later became Emperors. Our guide to Rocks Pirates cards in OP-17 and OP-08 covers the rest of that type.

How do the four Kaido cards fit together on paper?

The four Kaido cards split into two groups: three Purple cards built around DON!! returning, and one Blue card built around Rocks Pirates in hand. They do not share a color, so a single deck would not normally run all four.

The Purple group reads as follows from the printed text:

• OP17-058 (Leader) spends DON!! −1 to give −2000 power, on your attack or on your opponent’s attack.
• OP17-062 (SR) pays you back with an active DON!! card when a DON!! card is returned to your DON!! deck on your turn.
• OP17-063 (SR) also spends DON!! −1, but only on the turn it was played, and only against a Character with a cost of 6 or less.

The Leader and both Super Rares use the DON!! −1 wording or react to it, so the text points them at the same resource. That is a reading of the printed text, not a tested result.

The Blue group is one card. OP17-042 asks for three Rocks Pirates cards in hand, which means its value depends on the rest of your list. Because its effect is optional, the Blocker body at Cost 4 and Power 6000 is the baseline you always get.

If you only collect for the art or the character, the table does not matter and any of the four numbers is a valid Kaido card. If you play, start from the effect text above and check it against your own deck’s DON!! plan. The official pages give no tier list, so this guide stops at the printed text.

Which Kaido prints have parallel art versions?

The official card list shows parallel art versions for OP17-058, OP17-062 and OP17-063, and none for OP17-042. The list marks them as “parallel art version of this card number” under the same card number as the base card.

Read the OP17-062 count with care. The official list pages contain some duplicate entries, and one of the three OP17-062 parallel entries is printed with Power “-” and Counter 12000 instead of Power 12000. Treat the three entries as what the list displays, not as a verified count of distinct artworks. The effect text is the same on all of them.

For a collector, the practical advice is simple: confirm the card number and the “parallel art” mark on the listing, and compare against the official list before paying a premium. The official list is the check for card number, rarity and effect text; it does not say which art is scarcer, so this guide makes no claim about that.

If you want to browse the whole set rather than one character, the OP-17 card list is the page to use; this guide does not reproduce it.

Where do the Kaido cards sit in the OP-17 Four Emperors theme?

The Kaido cards sit inside a set themed on Elbaph and the Four Emperors for the card game’s 4th anniversary. The official ONE PIECE site news says the Four Emperors appear as leader cards along with many members of each Emperor’s crew, and that the Straw Hat Pirates appear in their Elbaph-arc outfits.

On the Kaido cards themselves, the official data shows the following. OP17-058 is a Leader with the type line The Four Emperors/Animal Kingdom Pirates. The Purple Characters OP17-062 and OP17-063 carry the same type line. OP17-042 carries the Rocks Pirates type, and the same news page says Xebec makes his first appearance in the card game in this set.

The English product page lists these rarities for the set: Special Cards, Treasure Rare, Leader Cards, Secret Rares, Super Rares, Rares, Uncommons, Commons and DON!! Cards. Kaido appears in the data as L, SR and R. The page also warns that multiples of one card may appear, that a full set may be hard to complete, and that illustrations may differ from the final product.

Dates matter if you collect by region. The official pages give two schedules:

• Japan: August 22, 2026, with Bandai noting the date is planned and may vary by location or store.
• English site: pre-release August 21, 2026 and release August 28, 2026, at an MSRP of USD $4.99 per pack, with cards legal from the pre-release date at your local game store.

The cards in this guide are from the Japanese edition. The English product page lists the same card numbers, such as OP17-042 and OP17-058, in its sections, but this article describes the Japanese edition and its printing.

The set also ties into a store event, the 4th Anniversary Event (OP-17 Release Event), running August 21 to September 13, 2026, with player application opening August 7, 2026 (official event page). Stores choose one of Constructed, Sealed or Standard Regulation. Participation prizes include the 4th Anniversary Tournament Pack (75 types in total), the 4th Anniversary Leader Card P-110 Monkey.D.Luffy, a second 4th Anniversary Leader Card and World United DON!! Cards (EN_01 and EN_02). Those promos are not Kaido cards. Our 4th Anniversary Tournament Pack guide lists what is known about them.

Where can I buy OP-17 boxes and see the full card list?

You can see the full set on our OP-17 card list page, and you can buy Japanese OP-17 boxes from Samurai Sword Tokyo, which ships from Tokyo. The set’s own products come first.

• OP-17 The World’s Strongest Warriors Japanese One Piece Booster Box is currently listed at ¥9,290. The product page describes 24 booster packs per box, 6 cards per pack, and the set’s 131+4 card types.
• The OP-17 booster box carton is one full case of 12 booster boxes, shipped as the carton itself.

A discounted OP-17 Damaged Box is currently listed at ¥8,440. It is an unopened box with outer-box damage, sold as-is, and the listing says the cards inside are unaffected and that the photos are samples.

Shipping, customs and payment are set out in our shipping policy and payment methods page. In short: orders go by FedEx with a tracking number (standard FedEx International Connect Plus, usually 3-7 business days after dispatch, or FedEx International Priority, usually 2-5 business days), most orders are processed within 5 business days after PayPal or Wise payment clears, and customs processing in your country is outside our control. Payments are in Japanese yen, via Wise, PayPal or cards through PayPal.

A sealed box is a randomized product, and the specific cards in each box are not guaranteed. A box holds 24 packs of 6 cards, which is 144 cards, but nothing on the official or product pages promises a Kaido Leader or Super Rare in any given box. If you want one particular Kaido card, buying a single is a different route from opening boxes.
