Karasu is a Revolutionary Army officer who has quietly picked up four separate card numbers across the One Piece Card Game — one per mainline booster, plus a starter deck printing — without ever settling on a single colour. Red in his first appearance, Yellow in his second, Black in the two after that: if you are trying to work out which Karasu print you are holding, the colour on the card is not the reliable clue.
This guide lines up every verified Karasu printing — OP05-005, OP09-100, OP12-085 and ST35-003 — with its rarity, colour, cost and power, plus the Premium Card Collection parallel reprint of the original card. It also covers which of the three sealed boxes that contain a Karasu card are currently listed on our site, all as Damaged Box product.
Karasu has four verified card numbers — OP05-005 (R, Red), OP09-100 (UC, Yellow), OP12-085 (C, Black) and ST35-003 (C, Black) — plus a parallel reprint of OP05-005 in Premium Card Collection -BEST SELECTION VOL.2-. The sets that carry OP09-100 and OP12-085 are both currently listed as Damaged Box: OP-09 The New Emperor and OP-12 Legacy of the Master.
Card numbers, rarities, colours, costs and power values below are taken from the official One Piece Card Game card list search (freewords=Karasu). Prices are our own listing prices, converted at ¥159/USD (September 2026).
Every Karasu Printing at a Glance
Karasu is a Revolutionary Army officer and commander of its North Army. Sabo serves as the Revolutionary Army’s chief of staff — see our Sabo One Piece cards guide for his cards. Four card numbers carry Karasu’s name in the verified card list:
| Code | Rarity | Colour | Cost | Power | Set |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| OP05-005 | R | Red | 4 | 5000 | -Awakening of the New Era- [OP-05] |
| OP09-100 | UC | Yellow | 3 | 4000 | -Emperors in the New World- [OP-09] |
| OP12-085 | C | Black | 5 | 6000 | -Legacy of the Master- [OP-12] |
| ST35-003 | C | Black | 3 | 4000 | STARTER DECK -Red/Black Sabo- [ST-35] |
Note the colour column: it moves from Red to Yellow to Black across these four printings. That is a normal pattern for a Revolutionary Army character reprinted across several mainline sets — each set assigns its own colour to the card, so don’t assume a Karasu print you find somewhere is misprinted just because the colour doesn’t match one you’ve already seen.
-Awakening of the New Era- [OP-05]: OP05-005
![Karasu OP05-005, R, Red, Revolutionary Army, -Awakening of the New Era- [OP-05]](https://samuraiswordtokyo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/img_karasu_op05-005_d0b836690d81-1.webp)
OP05-005 — R, Red, Cost 4, Power 5000
Karasu’s first card number is OP05-005, a Red R Character card with a cost of 4 and 5000 power, printed in -Awakening of the New Era- [OP-05]. It is also the number that later reappears as a parallel print through Premium Card Collection -BEST SELECTION VOL.2-, covered below.
OP-05 is one of the earlier mainline sets, and its Damaged Box listing sits above the other two boxes in this guide, which is consistent with OP-05 generally trading at a different level to newer sets rather than anything unusual about this particular box. It is currently listed for ¥61,750 (~$388). For a broader look at what else pulls from this set, see our OP-05 best cards guide.
-Emperors in the New World- [OP-09]: OP09-100
![Karasu OP09-100, UC, Yellow, Revolutionary Army, -Emperors in the New World- [OP-09]](https://samuraiswordtokyo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/img_karasu_op09-100_ca0e2b0e2a5f-1.webp)
OP09-100 — UC, Yellow, Cost 3, Power 4000
In -Emperors in the New World- [OP-09], Karasu reappears as OP09-100, an Uncommon Character card, this time in Yellow with a cost of 3 and 4000 power. It’s the lowest-cost of the four confirmed Karasu numbers.
The official set name is -Emperors in the New World- [OP-09]; the corresponding Damaged Box appears under our product-listing title OP-09 The New Emperor and is currently listed at ¥20,900 (~$131). Our OP-09 pull rates and best cards guide covers the rest of the set’s lineup.
-Legacy of the Master- [OP-12]: OP12-085
![Karasu OP12-085, C, Black, Revolutionary Army, -Legacy of the Master- [OP-12]](https://samuraiswordtokyo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/img_karasu_op12-085_8b7d6ddabf73-1.webp)
OP12-085 — C, Black, Cost 5, Power 6000
-Legacy of the Master- [OP-12] gives Karasu his third printing, OP12-085, a Common Character card in Black — the highest cost (5) and highest power (6000) of the four numbers covered in this guide.
The OP-12 Damaged Box is currently listed at ¥18,050 (~$114), the most affordable of the three boxes in this guide. See our OP-12 pull rates and best cards guide for the full set breakdown.
Starter Deck -Red/Black Sabo- [ST-35]: ST35-003
![Karasu ST35-003, C, Black, Revolutionary Army, STARTER DECK -Red/Black Sabo- [ST-35]](https://samuraiswordtokyo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/img_karasu_st35-003_28fda6ed606a-1.webp)
ST35-003 — C, Black, Cost 3, Power 4000
Karasu’s fourth printing, ST35-003, is a Common Character card in Black with a cost of 3 and 4000 power, fielded in STARTER DECK -Red/Black Sabo- [ST-35] — fittingly, a starter deck built around his own commanding officer. See our Sabo One Piece cards guide for the rest of that deck’s Revolutionary Army cast.
This print is not listed on our site at the moment; sourcing requests go through Commande rapide.
The Parallel Print: Premium Card Collection -BEST SELECTION VOL.2-
Beyond the four mainline card numbers above, OP05-005 has been reprinted as a parallel through PREMIUM CARD COLLECTION -BEST SELECTION VOL.2-. It carries the same card number, rarity, colour, cost and power as the original OP-05 printing — the parallel treatment applies to the artwork and foiling rather than changing the underlying card data.
No parallel or alternate-art treatment is verified for OP09-100, OP12-085 or ST35-003 at the time of writing; if one exists, it isn’t in the official card list search results we checked for this guide.
Which Boxes to Open for Karasu
Three sealed boxes contain a Karasu card. Each one appears on our site as Damaged Box product — see our One Piece Damaged Box lineup guide for what that grading means across our catalogue. ST-35’s starter deck is not part of this list, since that print is not listed.
