EB-02 Anime 25th Collection: probabilità di pull e migliori carte: guida alla box
A single Monkey D. Luffy Manga Rare from EB-02 sells for over ¥120,000 (~$800) on the Japanese market — more than 22 boxes at retail. The Extra Booster Anime 25th Collection celebrates 25 years of the ONE PIECE anime with 26 gold foil SPR leader reprints, a meta-defining new Luffy leader, and one of the hardest chase cards in OPTCG history at 1-in-140 box odds.
If you track SPR leader drops on SNKRDUNK or you’re considering your first EB-02 box, this guide breaks down the EB-02 pull rates, ranks the 10 most valuable cards with current JPN and EN market prices, and gives you the data to decide if the box is worth the premium. Our team handles hundreds of OPTCG boxes monthly through our Tokyo warehouse, and EB-02 remains one of the most requested Extra Boosters we ship overseas.
Set Overview — What Makes EB-02 Special
EB-02 is the first OPTCG Extra Booster built entirely around anime-original illustrations, with every card featuring artwork from the TV animation team rather than manga panels or new commissions. Released January 25, 2025 in Japan and May 9, 2025 internationally, the set marks the 25th anniversary of the ONE PIECE anime that debuted in October 1999.

The 26 Gold Foil SPR Leaders
The defining feature of EB-02 is its 26 SPR (Special Premium Rare) leader cards. These are reprinted leaders from OP-05 through OP-08 and EB-01, re-illustrated by the anime production team and finished with sharp gold foil on text and borders. Each SPR leader features a unique anime-style illustration that differs from both the original card art and any previous alternate art version.
Popular SPR leaders include Boa Hancock (OP07-038), Enel (OP05-098), Jewelry Bonney (OP07-019), Uta (OP06-001), Yamato (OP06-022), and Charlotte Pudding (OP08-058). With 26 different SPR leaders in the pool, pulling any specific one you want requires serious luck — or a willingness to buy singles.
Top 10 Most Valuable EB-02 Cards
The EB-02 market is dominated by the Luffy Manga Rare at the top, followed by a cluster of SPR leaders valued between ¥10,000 and ¥26,000. All prices below reflect JPN market data from SNKRDUNK and Mercari as of March 2026, with EN TCGPlayer prices for reference.

#1 — Monkey D. Luffy Manga Rare (EB02-061)
Compared to other Manga Rares in OPTCG — like the OP-01 Shanks (~¥80,000) or OP-05 Luffy Nika (~¥150,000) — EB02-061 sits comfortably in the upper tier. The Enies Lobby Gear 2 scene resonates deeply with longtime fans, and supply remains tight since Extra Boosters receive shorter print runs than mainline sets.
The 26 SPR leaders in EB-02 share a combined pull rate of approximately 1 per 11 boxes. That means any individual SPR leader you want — like Hancock or Enel — appears roughly once every 286 boxes (26 × 11). Singles are the practical path for specific SPR targets.
#2 — Boa Hancock SPR (OP07-038)
#3 — Monkey D. Luffy Alternate Art Leader (EB02-010)
#4–10 — SPR Leader Highlights
The remaining top cards are all SPR leaders, each featuring gold foil finishing and anime-original artwork.
Pull Rates — What to Expect from Your Box
EB-02 pull rates are harsh compared to mainline booster sets. Each box guarantees 3 SR cards and typically 1 parallel card, but the high-value SPR leaders and Manga Rare Luffy require significantly more investment to pull.
Rarity Breakdown
| Rarity | Estimated Rate | Approx. Boxes to Pull |
|---|---|---|
| SR (×9 types) | ~3 per box (guaranteed) | 1 |
| Regular Parallel (R/SR/SEC) | ~1 per 1.2 boxes | ~1 |
| SPR Leader (any of 26) | ~1 per 11 boxes | ~11 |
| SPR Leader (specific one) | ~1 per 286 boxes | ~286 |
| SEC (Luffy EB02-061) | ~1 per 5 boxes | ~5 |
| Manga Rare / Comic Parallel | ~1 per 140 boxes | ~140 |
Pull rates are estimated based on community opening data from Japanese collectors. Not officially confirmed by BANDAI.
The Comic Parallel Lottery
The Luffy Manga Rare (EB02-061 Super Parallel version) sits at approximately 1 per 140 boxes — that translates to roughly 1 per 12 cartons. At the current box market price of ~¥14,800, chasing this card through sealed product costs an expected ¥2,072,000 (~$13,800) in boxes. Compare that to the card’s market price of ~¥120,000 (~$800), and the math is clear: buying the single is roughly 17× cheaper than chasing it through packs.
The standard SEC version (EB02-061, non-comic-parallel) at ~1 per 5 boxes is far more attainable, though it carries a much lower premium.
EB-02’s comic parallel rate of 1/140 is harsher than most mainline sets (typically 1/70–1/100). Extra Boosters have shorter print runs, which concentrates the rarity. For comparison, EB-03’s God Pack lands at roughly 1/180 boxes.
What’s in Your Box — Value Breakdown
Every sealed TCG box returns less than its purchase price on average — that’s how the product model works. The value comes from the opening experience, building your collection, and the chance of pulling something extraordinary. With that context, here’s what a typical EB-02 box contains.
| Slot | Contents | Estimated Value |
|---|---|---|
| 3× SR (guaranteed) | 9 SR types, avg ~¥500-2,000 each | ~¥1,500-6,000 |
| ~1× Parallel | R/SR/SEC parallel | ~¥500-5,000 |
| Bulk (C/R) | Commons and Rares | ~¥200-500 total |
| Typical Box Total | ~¥2,200-11,500 | |
| Box Market Price | ~¥14,800 |
The guaranteed SR slots provide your floor value. Three SRs averaging ¥1,000-2,000 each give you ¥3,000-6,000 in baseline value. Your upside depends entirely on parallel pulls — hitting an SPR leader (~¥10,000-26,000) or the SEC Luffy (~¥120,000) transforms your box from underwater to a windfall.
For collectors, the guaranteed SRs include competitive staples like Trafalgar Law (EB02-045), Yamato (EB02-006), and Vegapunk (EB02-056), each with new anime-style artwork that won’t appear in any other set. Even without a big parallel hit, these SRs add genuine cards to your collection.
Singles vs. Box Strategy
| Approach | Best For | Estimated Cost for Top 3 Cards |
|---|---|---|
| Buy singles | Targeting specific cards | ~¥166,000 (Luffy Manga + Hancock SPR + Luffy Alt Art) |
| Open 1 box | Casual collector experience | ~¥14,800 + whatever you pull |
| Open 11 boxes | Chasing any SPR leader | ~¥162,800 for ~1 SPR leader |
Should You Buy EB-02?
EB-02 delivers strong value for collectors drawn to the anime anniversary theme and premium gold foil finishing. Competitive players also find a meta staple in the new Luffy leader. Here’s how it breaks down by buyer type.
For Collectors
The 26 SPR leaders with anime-original art and gold foil borders are unlike anything else in OPTCG. These aren’t just reprints — each card was re-illustrated by the TV anime production staff, creating a unique visual style that sits between the manga-based main set art and Toei’s animation cells. If you collect leader cards, EB-02 is the single richest source of premium leader variants in the game.
The Luffy Manga Rare (EB02-061) adds a flagship chase card that’s already become iconic. Gear 2 Luffy at Enies Lobby is one of the most beloved moments in ONE PIECE, and the manga panel art captures it perfectly.
Action: Buy 1-2 boxes for the experience, then pick up specific SPR leaders as singles. The EB-02 booster box ships from our Tokyo warehouse with tracked delivery.
For Players
Green/Purple Luffy (EB02-010) reshaped the competitive meta when EB-02 launched. The Straw Hat Crew restriction creates a unique deckbuilding challenge, and the DON manipulation mechanic enables aggressive plays that few other leaders can match. GP Luffy consistently placed in Tier 1 across both JPN and EN tournament environments throughout 2025.
Beyond the leader, EB02-061 (the SEC character Luffy with Rush) serves as a finisher in GP Luffy decks. Even the standard version (non-parallel) is a competitive staple.
Action: If you play GP Luffy, you need the leader from EB-02. The standard version is affordable (~¥500 for the non-alternate-art EB02-010). Singles are the smart path for deck building.
EB-02 is rare among OPTCG sets in delivering strong value for both audiences. The 26 SPR leaders satisfy collectors, while GP Luffy (EB02-010) gives competitive players a Tier 1 option — all from the same box.
For Long-Term Holders
Extra Booster sets typically receive one print run with no reprint. EB-02’s short supply, combined with the anime 25th anniversary theme that won’t be repeated, positions it for steady appreciation as sealed supply decreases. Similar past Extra Boosters like EB-01 Memorial Collection have seen box prices climb 30-50% over 12 months post-release.
Action: Monitor box prices for entry points. Current JPN market price of ~¥14,800 may represent a stable floor after initial launch volatility settled.
- Sealed supply decreasing (one-print Extra Booster)
- GP Luffy still relevant in current meta
- Anime 25th anniversary theme won’t be repeated
- EN version available since May 2025 at lower box prices
- Individual SPR prices may settle further
- April 2026 rotation may reduce some SPR leaders’ competitive relevance
Competitive Impact — GP Luffy Takes the Meta
EB02-010 Monkey D. Luffy didn’t just enter the meta — it dominated. Within two weeks of the JPN release in January 2025, Green/Purple Luffy decks claimed the highest win rate in online and local tournaments, a position the archetype held for months.
How Green/Purple Luffy Works
The leader’s ability lets you deramp 2 DON and gain 2 active DON, but only if every character on your field belongs to the Straw Hat Crew type. This restriction forces pure Straw Hat builds but rewards them with explosive turn sequencing — you can play large characters earlier than the DON curve normally allows.
Key support cards from EB-02 include anime-themed Straw Hat crew members at various costs, giving the deck a smooth curve from early drops to the EB02-061 Luffy finisher with Rush.
Tournament Results
In the JPN meta (OP-10/EB-02 format), GP Luffy achieved a 55%+ win rate in its first three weeks, making it the most popular and most successful deck simultaneously. Blue Doflamingo eventually emerged as the primary counter, creating a two-deck metagame that defined early 2025 competitive play.
When EB-02 reached the EN market in May 2025, the pattern repeated. GP Luffy immediately became the most-played leader in Western tournaments, according to Limitless TCG tournament data and onepiece.gg meta tier lists.
GP Luffy remains competitive but is no longer the undisputed #1. With OP-14 and OP-15 cards in the format, the meta has diversified. However, GP Luffy still regularly tops events and remains a strong choice for competitive play.
Price Trends & Market Outlook
EB-02 prices have stabilized 14 months after the JPN release. The initial launch excitement drove the Luffy Manga Rare above ¥150,000, but the market has settled into a more sustainable range.
| Card | Launch Price (Jan 2025) | Current (Mar 2026) | Trend |
|---|---|---|---|
| Luffy Manga Rare (EB02-061) | ~¥150,000 | ~¥120,000 | Stabilized after initial correction |
| Boa Hancock SPR | ~¥30,000 | ~¥26,000 | Gradual settling, strong floor |
| Luffy Alt Art Leader | ~¥25,000 | ~¥20,000 | Slight decline as meta share decreases |
| BOX (JPN) | ~¥18,000-20,000 | ~¥14,800 | Corrected from launch premium |
The correction from launch prices is standard for OPTCG products. EB-02’s trajectory mirrors EB-01 Memorial Collection, which saw a similar 15-20% correction in the first 6 months before stabilizing.
BOX: ¥14,800 (~$99) · Luffy Manga Rare: ¥120,000 (~$800) · Top SPR: ¥26,000 (~$170). All prices stabilized since mid-2025.
Key factors supporting current prices:
- Single print run — no reprint expected
- Luffy Manga Rare demand remains strong among collectors and grading submitters
- GP Luffy maintains competitive relevance
- Anime 25th anniversary theme gives the set lasting cultural significance
What to watch: The April 2026 rotation will remove Block 1 (OP-01 through OP-04) from Standard format. Some SPR leaders reprinted from those sets (like Perona from OP-03) may see reduced competitive demand, though collector value should hold.

The Bottom Line
EB-02 Anime 25th Collection stands out in the OPTCG lineup for three reasons:
- The Luffy Manga Rare (EB02-061) is one of the most valuable and visually striking cards in the game, depicting Gear 2 Luffy at Enies Lobby in manga panel art
- 26 gold foil SPR leaders create the richest collection of premium leader variants in any single OPTCG product
- GP Luffy (EB02-010) delivered a meta-defining leader that remains competitive over a year after release
The box commands a premium at ~¥14,800 (~$99), and pull rates for SPR leaders (1/11 boxes) and the Manga Rare (1/140 boxes) are steep. For targeted purchases, singles are the rational choice. For the collector experience of cracking anime anniversary packs with a shot at gold foil SPR leaders, EB-02 delivers something no other set offers.

Is the EB-02 booster box worth buying?
It depends on your goals. For collectors who value the anime 25th anniversary art and gold foil SPR leaders, the box offers a unique opening experience. For competitive players, the GP Luffy leader (EB02-010) is a meta staple available more affordably as a single. The box market price of ~¥14,800 (~$99) is roughly 2.8× the original retail price.

The Monkey D. Luffy Manga Rare (EB02-061, Super Parallel) leads at approximately ¥120,000 (~$800) on the Japanese market as of March 2026. The EN version trades even higher on TCGPlayer, reflecting strong international demand.

Yes. Green/Purple Luffy (EB02-010) dominated the meta through 2025 and remains a strong competitive choice in March 2026, though the metagame has diversified with OP-14 and OP-15 additions. The standard (non-alternate-art) version of EB02-010 is affordable at under ¥500.
