OP-03 Chase Cards: Key Cards in Pillars of Strength

Updated November 10, 2026

The OP03 chase cards in OP-03 (OP03) Pillars of Strength, the Japanese edition One Piece Card Game booster set, are Kaido, Charlotte Katakuri, Kozuki Oden and Eustass Kid, including their alt-art parallels. Per our OP-03 booster box page (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order), a box holds 24 packs of 6 cards.

Key Facts: What Is OP-03 Pillars of Strength?

OP-03 is the third booster set of the ONE PIECE CARD GAME, named Pillars of Strength in English, and it is sold here as a Japanese edition sealed box. The table below collects the facts from the official English product page, the Bandai catalog entry and our product page.

The three sources give three release dates, so cite the one that matches the market you mean. For the Japanese release of the box we sell, use January 27, 2023. The Bandai page itself says its date is tentative and may differ by region and store, and that names, dates and prices may change.

What Are the OP03 Chase Cards in Pillars of Strength?

The OP03 chase cards are Kaido, Charlotte Katakuri, Kozuki Oden and Eustass Kid, along with the alt-art parallel cards in the set. That is the key-card list on our OP-03 Pillars of Strength Japanese One Piece Booster Box page (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order), and it is the list this guide works from.

Our page describes the set as spotlighting the powerful warriors who shape the One Piece world, with characters from Wano Country and the Worst Generation, and it adds that the set includes alt-art parallel cards. The official page describes the booster pack as featuring many enemies the Straw Hat Pirates faced, with the East Blue, Water Seven and Whole Cake Island arcs as its themes.

This guide does not rank the four names against each other or attach a number to them. The official page shows card images with codes such as OP03-123, OP03-092 and OP03-081 but lists no individual card names, so the four names above come from our own product page, not from the official page. For per-card detail, use the OP-03 complete card list.

What Is Inside an OP-03 Booster Box?

A sealed OP-03 box contains 24 booster packs with 6 cards each, which makes 144 cards per box. The set itself has 127 card types.

The official page breaks the 127 card types down by rarity, and the counts add up: 8 + 45 + 32 + 26 + 10 + 2 + 4 = 127.

The table tells you how many different cards sit at each rarity, not how often you will open them. Only 2 of 127 types are Secret Rares and 10 are Super Rares. We give no pull-rate figures, and no box guarantees any card. Our OP-03 parallel and alt-art card list covers the alt-art versions one by one.

Which OP-03 Cards Should I Chase?

Chase the four named key cards on our product page, Kaido, Charlotte Katakuri, Kozuki Oden and Eustass Kid, and their alt-art parallels. The sources give no value ranking for them, so this guide makes no price promise and no forecast.

Here is what the sources let us say about the chase list:

• Our box page lists the four names as key cards and chase cards and says the set includes alt-art parallel cards.
• The official page lists 2 Secret Rare card types and 10 Super Rare card types, so the top rarities are small groups.
• The official page shows card codes such as OP03-123, OP03-092 and OP03-081 but gives no card names, so match any card you want by its card number.
• The set was positioned as a way to strengthen starter deck BIG MOM PIRATES [ST-07], released at the same time, and it includes Big Mom Pirates characters.

If you are matching a card to a listing, the OP-03 chase cards and pull rates guide and the complete card list are the places to confirm numbers.

One card has its own dedicated guide: Sogeking SEC-SP (Comic Parallel, OP03-122). It covers a single OP-03 card number in its comic parallel version.

A plain recommendation for chase hunters: if you want one specific named card, buy that single card by number rather than opening boxes hoping for it. A box is random, and the product page says plainly that individual card pulls are not guaranteed. A box is the right purchase when you want the sealed product itself, the whole set experience, or a chance at the chase list.

What Does the Official Page Say About the OP-03 Theme?

The official English page describes OP-03 as a set built around many enemies the Straw Hat Pirates faced, with East Blue, Water Seven and Whole Cake Island as its themes. The Bandai catalog entry gives the same arcs for the set.

The official English page lists these features:

• It introduces Yellow cards. Bandai’s catalog entry says the set greatly increases new yellow cards.
• The Leader cards are multicolor, with new color combinations.
• It includes many enemies the Straw Hat Pirates faced, with East Blue, Water Seven and Whole Cake Island as themes.
• It has cards that look at Life cards.
• It includes Big Mom Pirates characters.

Bandai calls OP-03 the third booster pack in the series, says it introduces new leader cards, and says players can catch up even if they start with this product. The official page adds that it was positioned as a way to strengthen starter deck BIG MOM PIRATES [ST-07], released at the same time. The Bandai page lists the pack at 198 yen tax included, for ages 9 and up.

The official page also carries notes worth keeping in mind: a single card may appear several times, a full set may be hard to assemble, illustrations may differ somewhat from the final product, and product details may differ from the actual product. Cards are tournament legal from the pre-release date in your region. The page text is an AI-generated translation, and the English original is definitive.

Should I Buy a Regular Box, a Damaged Box or a Carton?

Buy the regular box if you want a clean sealed box, the damaged box if you accept cosmetic damage to the outer box, and the carton if you specifically want the carton format. All three are Japanese edition OP-03 and none guarantees any specific card.

The damaged-box page explains why these exist. Our Tokyo warehouse buys large volumes of Japanese trading cards every day, and some boxes arrive with dents or scratches. Staff inspect every item against defined condition standards, and boxes that cannot be sold as mint condition are separated and offered at a lower price than regular products.

The photos on damaged listings are samples. The first image shows the regular product for identification, and the remaining photos show typical damage, not the actual item you will receive. The four images below are sample photos for that reason: two from the OP-03 damaged box listing and two of other damaged boxes.

Our recommendation: for a collector who plans to keep the box sealed or display it, take the regular box. For someone who mainly wants the packs inside and is fine with outer-box dents, the damaged box fits, as long as you accept that the sale is final. Because the damaged listings do not accept returns, decide before you order. For a longer comparison, see the OP-03 booster box buying guide.

How Do I Check What an OP-03 Chase Card Is Worth?

Check the exact card number, then compare current listings for that number; do not rely on a name alone. This guide does not list prices, because per-card values change and belong on live listing pages.

A practical routine:

1. Pick the name you want from the chase list: Kaido, Charlotte Katakuri, Kozuki Oden or Eustass Kid.
2. Look in the parallel and alt-art list to see which versions of that card exist.
3. Confirm the card number against the complete card list.
4. Only then compare asking prices for that exact number and version.

If you buy a box instead, remember what the official page says: a single card may appear more than once, and assembling a full set may be hard. A box and a single are different purchases with different aims.

How Does Shipping and Payment Work for an OP-03 Order?

Orders ship from Tokyo via FedEx with a tracking number, and payment is in Japanese yen through Wise, PayPal or card (via PayPal). The details below come from our shipping policy and payment methods page.

Delivery after dispatch depends on FedEx and the destination country. The policy states that customs inspections, import procedures, remote-area handling, peak season congestion and weather can delay delivery, and that such transit delays do not by themselves create a right to cancel or refund after dispatch. Delivery estimates shown at checkout or in carrier tools do not include our handling time, weekends, Japanese national holidays or customs processing.

Stock of sealed Japanese trading card products changes often, and dispatch can take longer than the standard handling time, for example when a supplier allocation changes or a unit reserved for your order fails quality inspection. If dispatch is delayed, the policy says we will email you the revised estimate as soon as practical, and for significant delays before handoff to FedEx we may offer the option to wait or to cancel with a full refund. Once the order is dispatched, you can see the tracking number and the carrier’s latest delivery estimate in your account or the shipping confirmation email.

If you pay by Wise, read the deadline rules: without a screenshot, the order is cancelled automatically if payment is not received within 12 hours (3 hours if the order contains a pre-order item). With a screenshot, upload it within 5 days of ordering; the price is then held for a total of 10 days. The screenshot option requires an account and is not available at guest checkout. Enter the payment reference SST-{order number} exactly as issued. SWIFT payments incur a JPY 611 receiving fee, so add that amount to your total.

For a box order, the most useful habit is to check the address before paying. The policy says you can change the shipping address yourself from My Account while the order is paid and the shipment is not yet scheduled, but the destination country, the carrier and the shipping method cannot be changed. If the new address costs more to ship to, you pay the difference before dispatch.

Can I Pay Later for an OP-03 Box?

Possibly: PayPal Pay Later is offered by PayPal at checkout where it is available, and availability is not guaranteed. It is operated by PayPal, not by Samurai Sword Tokyo, and the instalment agreement is between you and PayPal.

The payment methods page lists the options we see at checkout by country, and each one is interest-free:

In other countries PayPal may show a different option on different terms. Whichever option appears, the terms PayPal displays in its own window are the ones that apply, so read them before you confirm.
