Every statement about the set itself in this guide comes from our own product pages. They are specific about the theme, the card-type count, the art style and the box structure. The official One Piece booster pages, which we use later as a comparison, do not cover Dragon Ball.
What kind of character cards does Dragon Ball ST-01 have?
The character cards in Dragon Ball ST-01 are part of an 85-card-type set with newly drawn anime-style illustrations of famous scenes, and the set focuses on the Majin Buu Saga. The set is described as having foil or hologram finishes throughout, so the shine belongs to the whole set and not only to a few top cards.
Here is what each part of that description means for a collector.
- 85 card types. This is the number of different cards in the set. It is not the number of cards in a box. A box holds 120 cards, so repeats of the same card are part of opening it.
- Newly drawn illustrations. The listing states that the illustrations are newly drawn for this set.
- Anime-style scenes. The listing describes the illustrations as anime-style artwork showing famous scenes.
- Foil and hologram finishes throughout. Finishes run across the set, which affects how the cards look in a binder or sleeve.
Our product pages do not publish a per-card name sheet, so for the name of every card go to ST-01 Story Booster 01 Liste des cartes: Every Dragon Ball Fusion World Card. This guide stays on the set as a whole and on the practical side of buying it: what a box contains, which version of the box to choose, and how orders reach you from Tokyo.
How are the characters presented in Dragon Ball ST-01?
Dragon Ball ST-01 presents its characters through newly drawn anime-style illustrations of famous scenes, in a set that focuses on the Majin Buu Saga. The listing gives no further breakdown of characters, so the points below stay with what it states.
- The Majin Buu Saga is the focus of the set.
- The art shows famous scenes in an anime style.
- Foil or hologram finishes are applied throughout the set, so character art appears with that shine.
If you collect by character, the plan is simple. Use the card list article to find the characters you want, then choose how to get them. A sealed box gives you 20 packs and 120 cards across an 85-type set. That is a different proposition from picking singles, so choose the route that matches how many characters you want and how much you enjoy opening packs.
The decision comes down to two questions. How many different characters do you want? And do you enjoy the opening itself? If you want only a few characters, a box is a large purchase for a small goal. If you want to experience the set the way it was released, the box is the product, and the repeats are part of that experience.
How many Dragon Ball cards come in an ST-01 booster box?
A Dragon Ball ST-01 booster box contains 20 packs of 6 cards each, which is 120 cards per box. The 120 comes from multiplying the two numbers on the product page: 6 cartes par pack times 20 packs per box.
| Unit | Cards | How it is derived |
|---|---|---|
| 1 pack | 6 | Stated on the product page |
| 5 packs | 30 | 5 x 6 |
| 10 packs | 60 | 10 x 6 |
| 1 box (20 packs) | 120 | 20 x 6 |
| Card types in the set | 85 | Stated on the product page |
Two things follow from those numbers. First, a box holds more cards than the set has card types, so you will see repeats. Second, one box on its own is not the same thing as owning all 85 card types. How many different cards you end up with depends on what is in your packs, and the product page publishes no odds, so do not plan around a number you have not seen.
A Japanese booster box page states the pack size and the pack count, and that is the arithmetic you can rely on. For ST-01 both are on the page, and that is all you need to size an order.
Is Dragon Ball ST-01 the same as One Piece ST01?
No. Dragon Ball ST-01 is STORY BOOSTER 01 for the Dragon Ball Super Card Game Fusion World, while ST01 in One Piece is a starter deck code in a different game, and the two share only a code format. Both are written ST01, so check the game name before you buy.

Should you buy the sealed Dragon Ball ST-01 box or the damaged box?
Buy the regular sealed box if the outer box matters to you, and choose the damaged box listing (mise à jour : épuisé — demande de réassort via Quick Order) only if you mainly want the packs inside and accept the sale terms. Both listings are for the same set; the difference is the condition of the outer box and what the listing allows after purchase.
| Question | Regular sealed box | Damaged box |
|---|---|---|
| État | Sealed, new | Unopened and sealed in its original wrap, with cosmetic damage to the outer box such as dents or scratches |
| Cards inside | 20 packs of 6 cards | The listing says the cards inside are unaffected |
| Photos | Regular product photo | Sample photos only; the box you receive may differ |
| Sale terms | See the Return and Refund Policy for cancellations | Sold as-is; returns and refunds are not accepted; no responses to inquiries about the item |
| Price position | Regular price | Discounted because of the damage |
The condition photos on the damaged listing come from other products. The listing says so: the first image shows the regular product so you can identify the set, and the photos that follow are samples of damaged boxes. Damage types include dents, creases and scuffs, and the extent varies by item.
Why does the shop sell damaged boxes at all? The listing explains it: the warehouse in Tokyo buys large volumes of Japanese trading cards every day, so some boxes arrive with dents or scratches. Staff inspect every item against defined condition standards, and boxes that cannot be sold as mint are separated from regular stock and offered at a lower price.
Here is a simple way to choose:
- You display boxes or plan to keep them sealed: choose the regular sealed box.
- You collect the cards, not the box: the damaged box fits, as long as you accept an as-is sale with no returns.
- You want to know exactly how the box looks: choose the regular box, because the damaged listing only shows samples.
Availability for each listing appears on its product page, so check it before you plan your order.
How does shipping from Tokyo work for a Dragon Ball ST-01 box?
Orders ship from Tokyo by FedEx, with Standard Shipping by FedEx International Connect Plus and Expedited Shipping by FedEx International Priority, both with a tracking number. The shipping policy says most orders are processed and shipped within 5 business days after PayPal or Wise payment has cleared.
| Service | Estimated FedEx transit after dispatch | Shipping cost |
|---|---|---|
| Standard: FedEx International Connect Plus | Usually 3-7 business days | Calculated automatically at checkout from your delivery address |
| Expedited: FedEx International Priority | Usually 2-5 business days | Calculated automatically at checkout from your delivery address |
Read those transit figures as estimates only. The policy says dates shown on the website, at checkout or in carrier tools do not include handling time, pre-order release timing, supplier allocation delays, quality inspection holds, weekends, Japanese national holidays, customs processing, carrier congestion, weather or destination-country conditions. Business days exclude weekends and Japanese national holidays.
Several other points from the policy apply to a Dragon Ball box order:
- No minimum order. There is no minimum order amount or quantity.
- Release-week note. The ST-01 product page carries a release-week handling note: shipping may take longer than regular products, and if you order the box together with other products, the whole order ships together on the later date. To get other items earlier, order them separately.
- Delays. If dispatch is delayed, the shop emails you as soon as practical with a revised estimate. For significant delays before handoff to FedEx, the shop may offer the option to wait or to cancel with a full refund.
- Tracking. 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.
- Customs and carrier delays. After handoff to FedEx, timing is controlled by the carrier and destination-country authorities. Customs inspections, import procedures, remote-area handling, peak season, weather and carrier events may delay delivery, and such transit delays do not by themselves create a right to cancel or refund after dispatch.
- P.O. Boxes. FedEx cannot deliver to P.O. Boxes, so enter a physical address.
How do you pay for a Dragon Ball ST-01 order?
You can pay with Wise bank transfer, PayPal, or a credit or debit card through PayPal, and all payments are made in Japanese yen. The payment methods page lists each method and its rules.
| Method | What to know |
|---|---|
| Wise (bank transfer) | The only method without the 5% payment processing fee. Use the reference SST-{order number} exactly as issued. A SWIFT transfer carries a JPY 611 receiving fee, so add JPY 611 to your total. |
| PayPal | Payment completes immediately at checkout using your PayPal balance or linked funding sources. The 5% payment processing fee applies. |
| Credit and debit cards (through PayPal) | Visa, Mastercard, American Express and JCB; PayPal decides which are offered. A PayPal account is usually not required. The 5% fee applies. |
| PayPal Pay Later | Offered and operated by PayPal where it is available; the instalment agreement is between you and PayPal. PayPal decides whether any option appears. |
The Wise rules have deadlines. Without a screenshot of your transfer, the order is cancelled automatically if payment has not been received within 12 hours of placing it, and for orders containing a pre-order item that window is 3 hours. With a screenshot, you upload it within 5 days and the order price is held for a total of 10 days. The screenshot option requires an account and is not available at guest checkout.
Because the shop charges in yen, the amount on your statement can differ from the amount charged; exchange rates and conversion fees are set by your card issuer, bank or PayPal. For a box order, decide before checkout whether you prefer the no-fee Wise route, with its deadlines and SWIFT fee, or the instant PayPal route with the 5% fee.
What happens after you place a Dragon Ball ST-01 order?
After you place the order and payment clears, the shop secures the products and updates the order status, which you can follow in your customer account. Most orders ship within 5 business days of cleared payment, and the shop treats that window as an estimate.
The policy describes the steps in this order:
- Payment clears. For PayPal and cards this is immediate at checkout. For Wise, payments are confirmed during business hours in the order received.
- Products are secured. Once the products for your order are secured and the shipment is ready, the order status is updated.
- Dispatch. After dispatch, the tracking number and the carrier’s latest delivery estimate appear in your account or shipping confirmation email.
- Transit and customs. From handoff to FedEx, delivery timing sits with the carrier and the authorities of the destination country.
If you spot a mistake in your address, act before the shipment is scheduled. While an order is paid and its shipment has not yet been scheduled, you can update the shipping address yourself from My Account, then Orders, then the order. The destination country cannot be changed, and the carrier, shipping method and FedEx service level stay as selected at checkout. If shipping to the new address costs more, you pay the difference before dispatch and the order is held until it is settled. If it costs less, the shipping charge is not recalculated and no refund is made.
What should you check before ordering Dragon Ball ST-01?
Check four things before you order: the edition, the box condition, the address, and the release-week shipping note. Each comes straight from the product pages and policies.
- Edition. The box is the Japanese edition with Japanese-language cards. The set was released in Japan on August 8, 2026.
- État. Pick between the regular sealed box and the discounted damaged box using the comparison table above. The damaged box is as-is with no returns or refunds.
- Address. The customer is responsible for a complete and accurate address, and FedEx cannot deliver to P.O. Boxes.
- Shipping note. Orders that include the ST-01 box ship together on the later date, so put other items in a separate order if you want them sooner.
Also remember that delivery dates are estimates and that customs processing in your own country is outside the shop’s control.
