OP-02 Booster Box: Japanese Box Guide

The OP-02 (OP02) booster box is the Japanese-edition box of ONE PIECE CARD GAME Booster Pack -Paramount War- [OP-02], released on November 4, 2022. Each OP-02 booster box holds 24 packs of 6 cards, 144 cards in total. We list the regular OP-02 Paramount War booster box (Update: derzeit ausverkauft — Nachschub über Quick Order anfragen) and a discounted damaged-box version.

What are the key facts of the OP-02 booster box?

The key facts are a Japanese-edition box, set code OP-02, release date November 4, 2022, and 24 packs per box. The table below collects the names and numbers in one place, each tied to an official page or to our product page.

The official page calls this set „Booster Pack vol. 2“ of the ONE PIECE CARD GAME, and Bandai’s own catalog describes it as the second booster pack. That ordering matters when you read older community posts: OP-02 sits right after the first booster set and after the September starter deck -The Navy- [ST-06], which the set was designed to strengthen.

What is inside an OP-02 Paramount War booster box?

A sealed OP-02 booster box contains 24 booster packs, each with 6 cards, which makes 144 cards per box. That count comes from our product page, and the official page confirms the pack structure: 6 Karten pro Pack plus 1 index card.

The product is a sealed, randomized product. Our listing states that the specific cards in each box are randomly packed at the factory and that individual card pulls are not guaranteed. A box holds more cards (144) than the set has card types (121), but that does not mean a box completes the set. Treat a box as 24 chances to open a pack, not as a way to collect every card. If you need one particular card, a single card is the more direct route.

Box toppers are a separate item. The official page says box topper cards have IDs ending in the letter „b“, and that one of each of the 6 box topper types is randomly enclosed. The official page does not say where a topper sits in relation to the 144 cards, so this guide does not count it in the 144.

What does the OP-02 booster box contain by rarity?

The OP-02 set has 121 card types split into six rarity groups, and the official page gives the count for each. Commons are the largest group at 45 types, and Secret Rares are the smallest at 2 types.

The counts add up to 121: 8 + 45 + 30 + 26 + 10 + 2. These are counts of card types, not pull rates, so this guide gives no odds for any rarity.

Our product page adds that the set includes alternate-art parallels, and names four characters as the key and chase cards: Edward Newgate (Whitebeard), Portgas D. Ace, Akainu and Boa Hancock, along with Secret Rare alt-art chase cards. The official page lists only card numbers (for example OP02-002, OP02-013, OP02-062, OP02-096, OP02-099, OP02-105 and OP02-114), so it does not tie a name to each number. For a numbered breakdown, use our OP-02 Paramount War card list and the parallel and Secret Rare overview.

Seeing a regular card next to its parallel makes the 27 parallel types in the official count easier to picture. When you read a card list, check whether the entry says regular or parallel.

What does OP-02 add to the ONE PIECE CARD GAME?

OP-02 adds the color black in full force, new multicolor Leader combinations, and cards that strengthen the Navy starter deck ST-06. The official ONE PIECE news page and the official Asia English page both describe these three points.

Black first appeared in the September starter deck -The Navy- [ST-06], and OP-02 is where it arrives as a main color in a booster set. The set is themed on the „Paramount War“ chapter, the Marineford arc in the story, and our product page says it features Marines, Whitebeard Pirates and the Shichibukai. The official site notes that many cards in OP-02 can strengthen ST-06, so players who already own that starter deck have a direct reason to open OP-02.

Eight Leader cards are in the set, and the official text highlights new multicolor Leader combinations. For collectors, the character lineup is the draw: our product page names Edward Newgate (Whitebeard), Portgas D. Ace, Akainu and Boa Hancock as key cards. For players, the black cards and the ST-06 support are the draw. Which group you belong to decides whether you want the box for opening or a few singles.

For the chase side of the set, our OP-02 chase cards article covers the cards collectors look for. For the full contents and how the box is built, see the OP-02 booster box contents guide.

How much was an OP-02 pack at retail in Japan?

An OP-02 pack had a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of 198 yen including tax. Bandai’s catalog page lists that price, a target age of 9 and up, and the item type as card.

The official ONE PIECE news page gives the same 198 yen figure on the release day. Multiplying by the 24 packs in a box gives 4,752 yen, which is a simple calculation from the pack price and not a box price printed by Bandai. Bandai’s page also warns that prices and photos may differ from the actual product and that details may change, and it notes that dates may vary by region and store.

The 198 yen figure is a launch-era retail reference for a single pack in Japan. It does not describe what a sealed box costs on the market today, and it is not our selling price. Our current price is shown on the product page, in yen, at checkout.

Should I buy the regular OP-02 booster box or the damaged box?

Buy the regular box if the outer box condition matters to you, and the damaged box if you mainly want the packs and accept cosmetic flaws. The cards inside the damaged box are described as unaffected; only the outer box has damage.

The damaged listing says why these boxes exist. Our warehouse in Tokyo buys large volumes of Japanese trading cards every day, and some boxes arrive with dents, scratches or other damage. Staff inspect every item against defined condition standards, and boxes that cannot be sold as mint were separated from regular stock and are now offered at a lower price. The type and extent of damage vary by item.

The listing also sets firm terms: the item is sold as-is, we do not respond to inquiries about it, and returns and refunds are not accepted. Read that before you add it to your cart. The photos on the page are samples. The first image shows the regular product so you can identify the set, and the condition photos that follow show other damaged boxes, so the item you receive may look different.

My recommendation: if you plan to keep the box sealed on a shelf or give it as a gift, choose the regular box. If you plan to open all 24 packs, the outer box has no effect on the cards inside, and the damaged box is the sensible fit as long as you are comfortable with the as-is terms. If you are unsure, the regular box is the safer choice, because it carries no condition caveat.

How does shipping work for an OP-02 booster box from Tokyo?

An OP-02 booster box ships from our warehouse in Tokyo by FedEx with a tracking number. Standard shipping is FedEx International Connect Plus, and expedited shipping is FedEx International Priority.

These transit times are estimates only, and they start after dispatch. Handling is separate: most orders are processed and shipped within 5 business days after PayPal or Wise payment has cleared, and business days exclude weekends and Japanese national holidays. The delivery estimates shown at checkout do not include our handling time, weekends, Japanese national holidays, customs processing, carrier congestion, weather or destination-country conditions.

Once the order is handed to FedEx, timing is controlled by the carrier and by authorities in your country. Customs inspections, import procedures, remote-area handling and peak-season congestion can delay delivery, and the shipping policy states that such transit delays do not by themselves create a right to cancel or refund after dispatch. You can follow the order status in your customer account, and after dispatch you can see the tracking number and FedEx’s latest estimate in your account or the shipping confirmation email.

Two practical rules apply. FedEx cannot deliver to P.O. Boxes, so enter a physical address. And check the address before ordering: while an order is paid and its shipment has not yet been scheduled, you can update the shipping address yourself under My Account > Orders, but the destination country cannot be changed, and if the new address costs more to ship to, the difference must be paid before dispatch. There is no minimum order amount or quantity, so a single box is a valid order.

The policy also says stock for sealed Japanese trading card products fluctuates, and dispatch can take longer than the standard handling time in cases such as supplier allocation changes or a reserved unit failing quality inspection. If dispatch is delayed, we email the revised estimate as soon as practical.

Which payment methods can I use for an OP-02 booster box?

You can pay for an OP-02 booster box by Wise bank transfer, PayPal, or credit and debit card through PayPal, and all payments are made in Japanese yen. Wise bank transfer is the only method without the 5% payment processing fee.

The details come from our payment methods page. If you pay by Wise, enter the payment reference SST-{order number} exactly as issued, without changes. If you pay by SWIFT, a receiving fee of JPY 611 is deducted before the funds reach us, so add JPY 611 to the order total, and choose the OUR charge option so correspondent bank fees are covered on your side. Any gap between the amount we charge and the amount on your statement, from exchange rates or conversion fees, is set by your payment provider or bank.

For an order of a single box, the 5% processing fee on PayPal or card is the main difference between methods. If you prefer to avoid it and can arrange a Wise transfer, that is the route without the fee. If you want instant payment and a simple checkout, PayPal or card is the quicker path.

What should I check before ordering an OP-02 booster box?

Check four things before ordering: the edition, the box condition, your delivery address and your payment method. The table lists what to confirm for each.

On the edition point: the box we sell is the Japanese original edition, so match the product name „OP-02 Paramount War Japanese One Piece Booster Box“ on our listing rather than relying on the set name alone.

On expectations: the one-line summary is that this is a sealed, randomized product. The cards in each box are packed at random at the factory, and our product page says pulls are not guaranteed. Our description names Edward Newgate (Whitebeard), Portgas D. Ace, Akainu and Boa Hancock as key cards and mentions Secret Rare alt-art chase cards, but those are cards in the set, not cards promised in your box.

Is the OP-02 booster box worth opening, or should I buy singles?

Open the box if you enjoy the pack-opening experience or want the whole set’s variety; buy singles if you want one specific card. A box gives you 24 packs of random cards, while singles let you pick the exact card and version.

The reasoning comes directly from the product facts. The set has 121 card types and 27 parallel types, and cards are randomly packed, so a box cannot promise a particular chase card. The set’s character chase cards, such as Edward Newgate (Whitebeard), Portgas D. Ace, Akainu and Boa Hancock, are named on our product page, but the page is explicit that individual pulls are not guaranteed. That makes singles the logical choice for a collector with a target list, and a box the logical choice for someone who wants the experience, the sealed product, or a large number of cards for play.

For players, the black cards and the ST-06 support are the reason to open packs. For sealed collectors, the regular box in new and sealed condition fits a shelf. For buyers who plan to open everything, the damaged box offers the same 24 packs with cosmetic outer damage and as-is terms. This guide makes no forecast about future value.

A simple way to decide: write down the cards you want. If the list is one to three cards, singles fit. If you want to build a black Leader deck from many different commons, uncommons and rares, the 144 cards in a box give you a large pool to start from. If you want to keep the product sealed, the regular box is the match.

If you are comparing this box with other OP-02 products or want more detail on what is in each pack, the booster box contents guide goes through the box structure, and the card list article covers the set’s cards in listing form.

Where can I buy the Japanese OP-02 booster box?

You can buy it from us at the regular box listing or the damaged box listing, shipped by FedEx from Tokyo. Both listings are on samuraiswordtokyo.com and both ship with a tracking number.

The OP-02 Paramount War Japanese One Piece Booster Box (Update: derzeit ausverkauft — Nachschub über Quick Order anfragen) is the standard choice: brand new and sealed, direct from our warehouse in Tokyo, tracked and insured per the product page. The damaged box is the discounted alternative with the as-is terms covered above. Prices are shown on each page and in yen at checkout; check the page for the current figure and for availability when you order.

Before paying, read the shipping policy and the payment methods page. They cover delivery estimates, address changes, customs delays and payment deadlines in full. The official pages for the set are the Asia English product page, Bandai’s catalog and the release-day news post.
