Rayleigh OP12: Character Cards Guide to Silvers Rayleigh OP12-001

Updated November 10, 2026

Rayleigh OP12 means Silvers Rayleigh, card OP12-001, the red Leader of the ONE PIECE CARD GAME booster pack Legacy of the Master, OP-12 (OP12). It has Life 5, 5000 power and a deck rule that bans cards costing 5 or more. This guide covers its text, its two versions and how to check a listing.

Who is Rayleigh OP12-001 and what does the card do?

Silvers Rayleigh OP12-001 is a Leader card that restricts your deck and lets you boost a small Character once per turn. The official card list prints this text:

• “Under the rules of this game, you cannot include cards with a cost of 5 or more in your deck.”
• “[Activate: Main] [Once Per Turn] You may reveal 2 Events from your hand: Up to 1 of your Characters with 4000 base power or less gains +2000 power during this turn.”

The official OP-12 page promotes the set with the heading “The ‘Dark King’ Rayleigh joins the battle!” and shows OP12-015, OP12-001 and OP12-018 beside it (official OP-12 page).

What are the printed stats of Silvers Rayleigh?

The printed stats are Life 5, Power 5000, Counter “-“, color Red and attribute Slash. Every line below comes from the official card list.

How do you read the Rayleigh OP12 deck rule and effect?

Read the two lines as a cost: the first limits what you can play, and the second pays you back with a power boost. Here is each line in turn.

The deck rule. The text applies “under the rules of this game”, so it is part of deck building. A deck led by Rayleigh cannot contain any card with a cost of 5 or more.

The Activate: Main effect. It is once per turn and you choose to use it (“You may”). You reveal 2 Events from your hand. The text says reveal, not trash or discard. After that, up to 1 of your Characters with 4000 base power or less gains +2000 power during that turn. The target is limited by base power, so a Character above 4000 base power is not a legal target.

The effect needs Events in hand, and the official list shows Events that mention Rayleigh in their own text (see the section below). For how the Leader fits with other chase cards in the set, see our OP-12 chase cards guide.

Which versions of Rayleigh OP12-001 exist?

The official card list shows two versions of OP12-001: the regular card and a parallel art version of the same card number. Both print the same Leader name, Life, power, color, type and effect text. Only the artwork version differs.

Because the card number is the same, a listing that only says “OP12-001” does not tell you which version you get. Look at the photo. For how parallels and rarities are labeled across the set, read OP-12 rarities explained and the OP-12 parallel and alt art guide.

Which other OP-12 cards name Rayleigh?

Four Events in OP-12 mention Rayleigh in their effect text: OP12-016, OP12-017, OP12-018 and OP12-019. This is the one place where other cards come in, and it matters because Rayleigh’s own effect wants Events in your hand. The rarities below come from the official card list search for “Rayleigh” (official search).

OP12-016 is named on the official card list as “To Never Doubt–That Is Power!”. The official OP-12 page also shows OP12-018 beside Rayleigh in its promotional heading.

Where does Rayleigh sit in OP-12?

Rayleigh is one of the Leader cards of OP-12, and the official pages use the “Dark King” Rayleigh heading for the set. The Asia English OP-12 page lists 6 Leader Cards in a set of 127+1 card types, and the 6-card packs mix those with Commons, Uncommons, Rares, Super Rares, Secret Rares and Special Cards (official OP-12 page).

The English edition page lists the same Rayleigh heading and gives the English release as August 22, 2025, with a legal date of August 29, 2025 (official English page). This guide is about the Japanese edition. For the whole set, use the OP-12 card list article or the Japanese set guide.

How do you check a Rayleigh OP12 listing?

Match four things on the listing to the official card list: the name, the card number, the rarity and the version. Anything that does not match the table below is a different card or a different product.

Do not rely on the word “Rayleigh” alone. The Events in the section above name Rayleigh in their text but are different cards with different numbers.

Where can you buy OP-12 product from Japan?

For OP-12 packs, our shop lists the OP-12 Legacy of the Master Japanese One Piece Booster Box (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order). It holds 24 booster packs with 6 cards each (144 cards). It is a randomized product, and individual card pulls are not guaranteed, so a box does not promise a Rayleigh Leader. A Damaged Box version (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) has cosmetic damage to the outer box only; it is sold as-is and returns and refunds are not accepted.

Orders ship from Tokyo by FedEx. Standard is FedEx International Connect Plus, usually 3-7 business days after dispatch, and Expedited is FedEx International Priority, usually 2-5 business days. These are estimates, and most orders are processed within 5 business days after payment clears. Details are on the shipping policy. All payments are in Japanese yen. Wise has no payment processing fee, while PayPal and cards carry a 5% fee. See payment methods.

Before you buy, the OP-12 booster box buying guide explains the box in more detail.
