Greninja BREAK 157/103 is one of thirty cards in 30th CELEBRATION’s Classic Collection — a block of specially finished reprints, carrying a “C”-style mark beside the M6a set code, that Pokémon’s own card list labels 特別仕様 (“special specification”). It reissues the 2016 Greninja BREAK from the BREAKpoint era, five days ahead of a worldwide release.
This guide covers exactly what the 157/103 reprint is, the original English and Japanese print it revives, what’s documented about the BREAK Evolution mechanic and this card’s competitive history, and what comparable graded Greninja cards are currently listed at or asking. Samurai Sword Tokyo ships Japanese sealed product and singles out of Tokyo, and every price below is a dated, sourced, linked figure — not a guess about an unreleased single.
Greninja BREAK 157/103 reprints the 2016 Greninja BREAK from BREAKpoint (card 41/122), illustrated by 5ban Graphics — matching the 30th reprint’s own credited illustrator. It sits in the Classic Collection (136–165) and is not usable under current Standard rules. Graded Greninja prints from other eras are currently listed in our PSA10 collection, including a PSA10 MEGA Greninja ex MUR (M4 120/083) at ¥128,045 (~$831).
Prices checked September 2026. Yen figures convert at ¥154/USD. Every figure attached to an M6a 30th CELEBRATION card in this guide is either an official set-list fact or a current live listing price — the set has not released, and Pokémon has not published pull rates or a real secondary-market sale for any 30th CELEBRATION single.
What Is the Greninja BREAK 157/103 Reprint?
The official card list for 30th CELEBRATION (M6a) was published on 9 September 2026 and covers the main set 001–103, the Classic Collection 136–165, and the eight Basic Energy. Greninja BREAK 157/103 sits inside that officially listed Classic Collection block — a run of 30 reprints, numbered 136 through 165, that Pokémon’s card database marks with a “C”-style symbol beside the M6a set code. Per the official caveat that applies to the whole block, Classic Collection cards are not usable under the current Standard regulation; they remain legal only in whatever format the original printing is legal in.
The reprint’s credited illustrator, per the official database, is 5ban Graphics — the same illustrator credited on the original 2016 print, per our sources.
The Original 2016 Greninja BREAK: Print History and Card Text
The card 157/103 reprints is Greninja BREAK from BREAKpoint, card 41 of 122, released in English on 3 February 2016. On the Japanese side, Bulbapedia traces the card to the “Rage of the Broken Heavens” expansion, card 030/080; it was also reprinted in the Japanese “The Best of XY” compilation as 028/171.
| Attribute | Detail |
|---|---|
| Original print | BREAKpoint 41/122, Rare BREAK (holographic) — released 3 Feb 2016 |
| Japanese origin | “Rage of the Broken Heavens” 030/080; reprinted in “The Best of XY” as 028/171 |
| Illustrator | 5ban Graphics — matches the 30th reprint’s credit |
| Type / HP | Water / 170 — BREAK Evolution (evolves from Greninja) |
| Ability | Giant Water Shuriken — once during your turn, before attacking, while this Pokémon is your Active Pokémon, you may discard a Water Energy card from your hand; if you do, put 6 damage counters on 1 of your opponent’s Pokémon |
| Attacks | None listed |
| Weakness / Resistance / Retreat | None on any of the three |
This is one of the more unusual cards of its era mechanically: a BREAK Evolution card with no attacks at all, entirely dependent on its single Ability. Per Bulbapedia, Giant Water Shuriken “references the move Water Shuriken from the Pokémon games, representing ‘a larger version’ of that attack,” and the card was “designed without any weaknesses, resistances, or retreat costs to pay” — a deliberate design choice that made it unusually cheap to keep active on the board once evolved.
Why Greninja BREAK Is in the Classic Collection
Pokémon’s official communication around the Classic Collection describes the block only as 特別仕様 (“special specification”) treatment; it doesn’t publish a card-by-card rationale for why any individual card was chosen. What we can point to, sourced to a broader web search result alongside the Bulbapedia card notes, is that the Greninja BREAK archetype built around this specific card took second place at the 2016 Pokémon TCG World Championships — a documented competitive result, not a claim we’re making about the card’s collecting value today.
Whatever Pokémon’s internal selection logic was, the practical result is that 157/103 puts a mechanically unique, competitively notable BREAK Evolution card from the 2016 XY block back into current packs, in the same special finish as the other 29 Classic Collection cards.
What Graded Greninja Prints Are Listed At Today
M6a hasn’t released, so there’s no real sale or graded population to cite for Greninja BREAK 157/103 itself yet. Neither of the graded cards below is the same print as the 2016 original this reprint revives — they’re graded copies of other Greninja prints, shown for context on where the wider graded Greninja market sits:
We’ve covered the Mega Greninja line in more depth in our Mega Greninja cards guide, the SAR/ex reprint separately in our Greninja ex 30th Celebration guide, and every other Japanese Greninja printing in our Greninja cards guide.
SNKRDUNK Asking Prices, September 11
SNKRDUNK — a Japanese resale marketplace — showed the following lowest live asking prices for Greninja BREAK/Greninja cards as of 11 September 2026 (any condition; asks are seller listings, not sales). A 1st Edition Greninja RR from the “Anger of Heaven” expansion (XY9 030/080) asked ¥6,980 (14 listings); the Japanese “Best of XY” compilation print (XY 028/171) — the same reprint referenced in this card’s own print history — asked ¥6,500 (14 listings); and a non-1st-edition Greninja RR from Anger of Heaven asked ¥250,000, but from just 2 listings, a thin price.
None of these figures describe 157/103 — M6a single cards have no live asks yet, since the set hasn’t released.
