Saint Gunko (軍子宮, also written Gunko) makes her debut in the One Piece Card Game in OP-18 神の支配 (The Dominance of God), and Bandai says so in one official line: 「軍子宮やシャムロック聖がワンピカードに初参戦！」 On the English page it reads “Saint Gunko and Saint Shamrock make their ONE PIECE CARD GAME debut!” What Bandai has not done is publish a single Gunko card.
As of October 31, 2026, Bandai’s official card database lists no OP-18 card; the Leader OP18-060 and the Super Rare OP18-065 are shown on Shueisha's official reveal images of Sunday, August 23, 2026, OP18-084 is reported by card-list trackers only, and none of it is in Bandai's database yet. This page keeps the two layers apart: what the official pages say about Gunko and the set, and what Tier One, meli-melo, OPlayTCG, ShonenTCG, Fuji Card Shop and torecamap report.
OP-18 神の支配 (The Dominance of God) releases on Saturday, November 21, 2026 in Japan (6 kaarten per pack, 127 card types plus 1, printed MSRP ¥240) and on Friday, November 20, 2026 in English (printed MSRP $4.99 per pack). The set is built around 神の騎士団 (the Holy Knights of God on Bandai’s English page; God’s Knights in most English coverage) and Water Seven.
- Official: Gunko is named as a debut character on Bandai’s OP-18 pages, and the Shueisha story page places Gunko in the God’s Knights.
- Reported: three card numbers (OP18-060 Leader, OP18-065 Super Rare, OP18-084 Super Rare) and six printings, per Tier One, meli-melo and others. Where they disagree, both values are shown below.
- Set-wide reported cards live on our OP-18 card list page; this guide covers Gunko only.
- We do not list OP-18 product at the time of writing. The OP-17 世界最強の戦士 (The World’s Strongest Warriors) box is currently listed at ¥10,947 (~$71).
Status as of October 31, 2026. Store prices convert at ¥154/USD and appear only for products we list.
Who Saint Gunko Is
The official source is the Shueisha ONE PIECE story page for the Elbaf arc. It describes 軍子宮 as a member of the 神の騎士団 who had entered Elbaf unnoticed, alongside the faction’s 団長 (captain), Saint Shamrock. The page says the pair first tried to recruit Loki and failed, then summoned Saint Sommers and Saint Killingham.
The same page adds one more line: 「‶ある人物〟によって軍子宮が謎の変貌を遂げ」 — Gunko undergoes a mysterious transformation caused by “a certain person”. The page does not say who that person is.
Per Japanese Wikipedia, which is user-edited and so a secondary source, Gunko belongs to the Manmayer family of Celestial Dragons (天竜人) and is a Devil Fruit user of the 「アロアロの実」.
What Bandai Has Said About OP-18 and Gunko
Bandai’s Japanese product page for 「ブースターパック 神の支配【OP-18】」 gives the theme as 「『ウォーターセブン』『神の騎士団』がテーマのブースター第18弾！」 with the catch copy 「世界政府最高戦力 降臨…！」. The English page, “BOOSTER PACK -THE DOMINANCE OF GOD- [OP-18]”, says the 18th Booster Pack features Water Seven and the Holy Knights of God.
Neither product page’s text gives a card number, a rarity list, an illustrator credit or any Gunko card. The pages carry one generic line saying the packs contain cards of various rarities at random.
Shueisha’s Sunday, August 23, 2026 ONE PIECE DAY’26 news adds three points that matter here: the God’s Knights are a theme of the set; Gunko and Saint Shamrock are named as card game debuts, with parallel-illustration versions shown; and leader-card parallels and special cards were revealed. That page names no Gunko card number and no Gunko rarity.
There is no official image of any Gunko card as of October 31, 2026. Bandai captions nobody on the pack or box art.

The Leader: OP18-060 (Official Reveal Image)
The reported card number is OP18-060, and the reporting outlets are Tier One (updated Friday, October 30, 2026), meli-melo (Sunday, August 23, 2026), OPlayTCG, ShonenTCG and Fuji Card Shop, which marks it as pending Japanese official verification. One outlet (a TCGplayer article) numbers Saint Gunko OP18-065 instead.
| Field | Reported value | Reported by |
|---|---|---|
| Colour | 紫/黒 (Purple/Black) | Tier One, meli-melo |
| Life | 4 | Tier One, meli-melo |
| Power | 5000 | Tier One, meli-melo |
| Counter | none (—) | Tier One, meli-melo |
| Attribute | 特 (Special) | Tier One, meli-melo |
| Type | 天竜人/神の騎士団 (Celestial Dragons / Holy Knights of God) | Tier One, meli-melo |
| Block icon | 5 | Tier One, OPlayTCG |
Shueisha's official reveal image of Sunday, August 23, 2026 shows both versions of this Leader with the card number OP18-060 printed on the cards; the values above match the image and the trackers.
First effect, as printed on the reveal image and transcribed identically by Tier One and meli-melo: 「【ターン1回】自分のトラッシュからキャラが登場した時、カード2枚を引き、自分の手札1枚を捨てる。」
Second effect, as printed on the reveal image and transcribed by Tier One and meli-melo: 「【起動メイン】【ターン1回】自分の手札1枚を捨てることができる：自分の元々のパワー8000以上のキャラがいる場合、ドン!!デッキからドン!!1枚までを、アクティブで追加する。」
OPlayTCG’s English rendering, marked as a rendering and not official text: “Once Per Turn: When a Character is played from your trash, draw 2 cards and trash 1 card from your hand.” And: “Activate: Main, Once Per Turn: You may trash 1 card from your hand: If you have a Character with 8000 base power or more, add up to 1 DON!! card as active from your DON!! deck.”
The second effect asks for a Character of 8000 base power or more; OP18-065 is shown at 11000 power on the reveal image, and Tier One and meli-melo report the same. These are readings of reported text, and the wording could change before print.
The Leader parallel is on the same official image: Shueisha's reveal shows 通常版 (normal) and パラレル版 (parallel) side by side for 軍子宮. Tier One lists it as 「L (パラレル)」 with identical text, meli-melo as 「パラレル版」, and Fuji as a “Leader Alternate Art”. For the other OP-18 Leaders, see our OP-18 Leaders guide.
The Super Rares: OP18-065 (Official Reveal Image) and OP18-084 (Reported)
OP18-065 (card number printed on the official reveal image)
Shueisha's official reveal image of Sunday, August 23, 2026 shows this Character Super Rare with cost 10, power 11000, the type 天竜人/神の騎士団 and 【ブロッカー】, under the heading 神の騎士団スーパーパラレル; Tier One and meli-melo report the same values.
Its effect line, as printed on the reveal image and transcribed identically by Tier One and meli-melo: 「【登場時】ドン!!-1：自分のトラッシュからパワー6000以下の特徴《天竜人》を持つキャラカード1枚までを、登場させる。」
Our rendering of that Tier One and meli-melo line (not official text): On Play, DON!! −1: play up to 1 Character card with 6000 power or less and the 《天竜人》 type from your trash.
The attribute slot on the reveal image shows 「？」, and Tier One and meli-melo print it the same way; a GitHub tracker change of Tuesday, October 6, 2026 also set it to 「？」. Bandai has not explained the symbol.
OP18-084 (reported card number)
Tier One and OPlayTCG report a Black Character Super Rare: cost 1, power 2000, attribute 特, no counter, type 天竜人/神の騎士団, block icon 5.
First effect, as printed by Tier One: 「【登場時】自分のデッキの上から4枚を見て、特徴《神の騎士団》を持つカード1枚までを公開し、手札に加える。その後、残りをトラッシュに置く。」
Second effect, as printed by Tier One: 「【起動メイン】自分のドン!!4枚をレストにできる：自分のトラッシュからコスト6以下の特徴《神の騎士団》を持つキャラカード1枚までを、登場させる。」
OPlayTCG’s rendering: “On Play: Look at 4 cards from the top of your deck; reveal up to 1 {Holy Knights of God} type card and add it to your hand. Then, place the remaining cards into the trash.” And: “Activate: Main: You may rest 4 of your DON!! cards: Play up to 1 Character card with a cost of 6 or less and the {Holy Knights of God} type from your trash.”
The trackers show no 【ターン1回】 on the activate effect; ShonenTCG flags that point. One printing is reported (OPlayTCG), and Fuji marks its image as temporary.
| Reported number | Role | Colour | Cost / Life | Power | Reported by |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| OP18-060 | Leader | 紫/黒 | Life 4 | 5000 | Official reveal image; Tier One, meli-melo |
| OP18-065 | Super Rare | 紫 or 黒 (conflict) | Cost 10 | 11000 | Official reveal image; Tier One, meli-melo |
| OP18-084 | Super Rare | 黒 | Cost 1 | 2000 | Tier One, OPlayTCG |
In the reported text, all three cards reference the trash: OP18-084 (Tier One, OPlayTCG), OP18-060 and OP18-065 (Tier One, meli-melo). All three cards carry the 天竜人 type per Tier One. Whether that holds at print depends on the final card text.
The God’s Knights Super Parallel
The tier is named God’s Knights Super Parallel (神の騎士団スーパーパラレル), the name printed as a heading on Shueisha's official reveal image of Sunday, August 23, 2026 (pictured above) and used by the official ONE PIECE staff account on X and by media coverage of the trailer; Bandai's OP-18 product and event pages list the tier only as スーパーパラレル.
Inside Games, reporting on the official trailer on Monday, August 24, 2026, wrote that Gunko has a top-tier rare treatment prepared to mark the anniversary under that name, and it calls OP-18 the second anniversary pack of the game’s 4th year. That reading is the outlet’s, not Bandai’s.
The official yardstick is OP-17. Shueisha’s news of Sunday, August 2, 2026 says the 4th anniversary brought a new rarity, the 海賊団スーパーパラレル; its news of Thursday, June 18, 2026 calls OP-17 the 4周年弾. Tier One makes the link itself: the previous set had the 海賊団スーパーパラレル and this one has the 神の騎士団スーパーパラレル. Our OP-17 chase cards guide covers how that earlier tier looked.
The reveal image attaches the God's Knights Super Parallel to OP18-065, and Tier One, meli-melo and Fuji Card Shop report the same. Tier One’s section headed 「神の騎士団スーパーパラレル 一覧」 lists only OP18-065; meli-melo carries a variant label for it; Fuji writes “God’s Knights Super Parallel”. Tier One’s editors also state that parallel versions keep the base card’s rarity letter, so the SR stays an SR.
torecamap, updated Saturday, October 31, 2026, describes the artwork as Gunko at the centre with God’s Knights members and Imu in manga-style illustration (its words: 「軍子を中心に神の騎士団メンバーとイム様が漫画イラストで描かれた魅力が詰まった1枚です。」). The reveal image shows that composition: Gunko in front with manga-style figures behind her; torecamap identifies them as God's Knights members and Imu. Our Imu One Piece card guide has the other side of that background.
The Bandai release-event page names the tiers in its rule text: 「スーパーレア」「シークレット」「スペシャルカード」「パラレルカード」「スーパーパラレルカード」. That is the list of tiers Bandai names for the event, not a count of rarities in the set.
Where the Trackers Disagree
These are the conflicts between trackers, with both values and both outlets.
| Point | Value A | Value B |
|---|---|---|
| Gunko Leader number | OP18-060 (Tier One, meli-melo, OPlayTCG, ShonenTCG, Fuji) | OP18-065 (one outlet, a TCGplayer article) |
| OP18-065 colour | 紫 (meli-melo; Tier One’s Super Parallel row) | 黒 (Tier One’s base row) |
| OP18-065 counter | 1000 (meli-melo) | none (Tier One; the GitHub tracker change) |
| Release date | Saturday, November 21, 2026 (Bandai) | Saturday, November 28, 2026 printed on some pages (meli-melo); tinpanblog explains it as the FamilyMart lottery pick-up start |
| Card types | 127+1 types in total (Bandai EN page text; JP page text 全127種+1種) | 126+1 types in total (printed on the English pack art) |
The Saturday, November 28, 2026 date is the one to check: the official Bandai date is Saturday, November 21, 2026 in Japan.
Tracker tallies differ too: Tier One lists about 64 reported numbers (the highest being OP18-119), and Fuji lists “45 revealed cards and variants” as of Thursday, October 29, 2026.
Shueisha’s Sunday, August 23, 2026 news says 「スーパーパラレルは「ニコ・ロビン」です！」. Separately, Tier One’s God’s Knights Super Parallel list carries only OP18-065.
OP-18 Context in One Section
Gunko is one part of a set that also carries Amano’s new illustrations, a Leader debut for Franky and the Nico Robin Super Parallel. The sibling guides cover those in depth; here is the short version with the official and reported layers separated.
| Kaart | Official (Shueisha, Sunday, August 23, 2026) | Reported number |
|---|---|---|
| Saint Shamrock | New illustration by Yoshitaka Amano (天野喜孝) | OP18-119 (Tier One’s highest reported number) |
| Loki | New illustration by Amano | OP17-119 reprint parallel (meli-melo, Tier One) |
| Nico Robin | Named as the Super Parallel | see the Nico Robin guide |
| Franky | Debuts as a Leader card | see the OP-18 Leaders guide |
torecamap and tinpanblog report Shamrock and Loki each in a normal parallel and a gold-foil parallel. No source reports Gunko as an Amano card. For the Amano layer and the secret-rare picture, read our OP-18 Secret Rares and Amano guide; for the Robin layer, see the Nico Robin One Piece cards guide; and for the older set, our Loki guide shows the same official-versus-reported approach.
How Collectors Can Prepare Before Saturday, November 21, 2026
Start with the official dates. Japan releases on Saturday, November 21, 2026; the English release is Friday, November 20, 2026, and Bandai’s English page notes tournament legality after 7 days. Bandai’s Japanese release event runs from Saturday, November 21, 2026 to Sunday, December 6, 2026. The English “4th Anniversary Event (OP-18 Release Event)” runs from Friday, November 20, 2026 to Thursday, December 17, 2026, with “extra special prizes” tied to the fourth anniversary.
Bandai’s official card database is the place to check for the printed values. Until it lists OP-18, treat every Gunko card number and stat in this guide as the trackers’ number. Our OP-18 card list page catalogues the reported cards for the whole set, and the OP-18 chase cards guide covers the reported treatments.
On boxes, torecamap reports a carton of 12 boxes. Bandai publishes no pull rates, and torecamap labels its own figures as estimates.
For the surrounding picture, the 4th Anniversary sets guide compares OP-17 and OP-18 as the two anniversary sets.
