Buggy OP09: Character Cards Guide

Updated November 10, 2026

Buggy OP09 (OP-09, „OP09“) means two card numbers in the Japanese One Piece Card Game set Booster Pack New Emperors [OP-09]: the Blue Leader OP09-042 and the Blue Rare Character OP09-051. Both have parallel art versions, and OP09-051 also has an SP card.

Key facts: what is the set that Buggy belongs to?

Buggy’s cards come from OP-09, the Japanese edition of Emperors in the New World, and the table below lists the set facts.

Our product page gives a Japanese release date of August 24, 2024; this guide uses the official Japanese page date. The official English page lists December 13, 2024 and a count of 130+1 card types for its own edition.

Which Buggy OP09 cards exist?

Buggy has two card numbers in OP-09, OP09-042 and OP09-051, and the official card list shows six entries between them.

Source: the official OP-09 card list. Every Buggy entry is Color Blue, Attribute Slash, with the type The Four Emperors/Cross Guild.

What does the Buggy Leader OP09-042 do?

OP09-042 is a Blue Leader with Life 5, Power 5000 and no Counter, and its one effect plays a Cross Guild Character from your hand.

The effect reads: [Activate: Main] You may rest 5 of your DON!! cards and trash 1 card from your hand: Play up to 1 {Cross Guild} type Character card from your hand.

In plain terms, you rest five DON!! cards and trash one card from your hand, and in return you play one Cross Guild Character from your hand. The {Cross Guild} type named in the effect is also part of the type line printed on every Buggy card. The official Japanese page names this card Buggy the Genius Jester and lists a manga-art Leader parallel for it.

What does Buggy OP09-051 do?

OP09-051 is a Rare Blue Character with Cost 10 and Power 12000, and it places one opposing Character at the bottom of its owner’s deck when it enters play.

The effect reads: [On Play] Place up to 1 of your opponent’s Characters at the bottom of the owner’s deck. Then, if you do not have 5 Characters with a cost of 5 or more, place this Character at the bottom of the owner’s deck.

The second sentence matters. The first part always applies, but Buggy goes to the bottom of your own deck unless you have 5 Characters with a cost of 5 or more. Read the card as a removal effect with a condition for keeping the body, not as a plain 12000 Power Character.

Which Buggy OP09 versions are parallels or SP cards?

OP09-042 has a manga-art Leader parallel, and OP09-051 has Super Parallel versions plus an SP card.

• OP09-042 parallel: the official Japanese page lists it as a manga-art Leader parallel.
• OP09-051 Super Parallel: the same page lists a Super Parallel for the New Four Emperors. The English page calls these Super Alt-Art cards.
• OP09-051 SP card: the Japanese page describes it as an SP card imagined as a wanted poster for the New Four Emperors.

The official card list shows the rarity of the SP version as „SP CARD“ and the other two parallels as „R“. The card text is the same on every version of a number. Only the art and the print differ.

How do I check a Buggy OP09 listing?

Check the card number first, then the rarity code, then whether the art is the regular or a parallel print.

A listing that gives only „Buggy OP09“ is not enough, because six prints share two numbers. Look for the number and the version in the listing itself, and compare the stats against the official card list.

Where do the Buggy cards sit in OP-09?

Buggy is one of the set’s Leaders and one of its Rares, and both cards are part of the Four Emperors theme.

The official Japanese rarity breakdown lists 6 Leader cards, 26 Rares, 10 Super Rares, 2 Secret Rares, 10 Special Cards, 30 Uncommons, 45 Commons and 1 DON!! card. The English page adds 1 Treasure Rare. OP09-042 is one of the 6 Leader cards, and OP09-051 is one of the 26 Rares. The product page describes OP-09 as a set that features all four Yonko and their crews. Our OP-09 secret rare and super parallel guide covers the other end of the set.

How do I buy Buggy OP09 from Japan?

Our shop sells the sealed OP-09 The New Emperor Japanese One Piece Booster Box (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order), which ships from Tokyo by FedEx, and it contains 24 packs of 6 cards.

No card is promised: the product page says the packing is random and individual pulls are not guaranteed, so a box is not a way to order a specific Buggy. There is also a damaged box listing (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order). It has cosmetic damage to the outer box, and it is sold as-is with no returns or refunds.

The shipping policy gives FedEx International Connect Plus as standard (usually 3-7 business days after dispatch) and International Priority as expedited (usually 2-5 business days). These are estimates. Most orders ship within 5 business days after PayPal or Wise payment clears. Shipping cost is calculated at checkout. The payment methods page says all payments are in Japanese yen, that Wise bank transfer carries no processing fee, and that PayPal and card payments carry a 5% processing fee. Cards are accepted through PayPal.
