Gunko OP18: Character Cards Guide

Gunko OP18 means the three Saint Gunko cards in the One Piece Card Game booster pack OP-18 (OP18), “God’s Dominion” in Japan: Leader OP18-060, alt art OP18-065 and combo card OP18-084. The Japanese edition releases on November 21, 2026, and the English edition on November 20, 2026.

Updated November 6, 2026

What is Gunko OP18 and which cards does it cover?

Gunko OP18 is the group of three Saint Gunko cards in the OP-18 booster pack, and the official pages name all three by card number. The set is called Booster Pack “God’s Dominion” [OP-18] in Japan and BOOSTER PACK -THE DOMINANCE OF GOD- [OP-18] in English. Its theme is Water Seven and the Divine Knights, which the English page calls the Holy Knights of God.

Gunko is new to the card game. The English page states that Saint Gunko and Saint Shamrock “make their ONE PIECE CARD GAME debut” in this set, so there are no earlier Gunko cards to compare against. Every card number in this guide comes from the official pages of Bandai’s One Piece Card Game sites.

One point is easy to misread. The Japanese pack holds 6 cards, and one pack draws from 127 card types plus the single DON!! card type. A pack is therefore a small slice of the list, and the Gunko cards are only three of the 128 entries.

When can you get the Gunko cards?

The Japanese edition of OP-18 releases on November 21, 2026, and the English edition releases one day earlier, on November 20, 2026. Both dates come from the official product pages, and the Japanese date is repeated in the ONE PIECE.com news post of October 16, 2026.

The tournament rule is worth a note for players. Release day and tournament legality are different dates: the English page states that cards are tournament legal 7 days after the release date in your region. If you plan to play Saint Gunko rather than only collect her, count from your own region’s release date.

For readers outside Japan, the one-day gap between the editions is small. The English edition is a separate release with its own pack price: an MSRP of $4.99 per pack, against 240 yen per pack in Japan. The two are covered side by side in our OP-18 English vs Japanese comparison.

What is Saint Gunko OP18-060, the Leader card?

OP18-060 Saint Gunko is a new Leader card, and it is the only Gunko card whose rarity the official pages state: Leader. The Japanese page also lists a “super leader parallel” version of this card, and the English page calls it the “Super Leader Alt Art,” which features Saint Gunko.

That makes OP18-060 the anchor of any Gunko collection. The set has six Leader cards in total, and Gunko is one of them. Details of her effect, color, power and life are not on the product pages, so this guide does not describe how the card plays.

Two versions of OP18-060 are worth keeping apart in your notes:

• Regular OP18-060: the Leader card as listed on the product page.
• Super Leader Alt Art of OP18-060: the parallel version the official pages highlight for Saint Gunko.

When you compare listings later, check which version a listing names. Another alt art on the Asia English page is OP18-031 Nico Robin Super Alt Art, shown below.

What are Gunko OP18-065 and OP18-084?

OP18-065 is the alt-art Saint Gunko, and OP18-084 is a Saint Gunko combo card for the Leader. Together with OP18-060 they make up every Gunko card the official pages list for OP-18.

The wording differs by region, and it is easy to mix up. The Japanese page names OP18-065 as the Divine Knights parallel card and describes its 4th anniversary special design. The English page names it an Alt Art in the 4th Anniversary alt-art set. Both describe the same card number, OP18-065, and the one-line takeaway is that this is the card to look for if you want the anniversary artwork.

OP18-084 is the supporting card. The English page calls it the “combo card for the Leader,” and the Japanese page lists it as a related card. A collector who wants a matching set should list OP18-060 and OP18-084 together. The official pages give no rarity for OP18-065 and OP18-084 and no number of packs per box.

The remaining Gunko question is the artist and artwork. The pages do not name an illustrator for any Gunko card, so no artist credit is given here. The only artist credit in the set that the official pages give is for Saint Shamrock, covered in the next section.

How does Gunko compare with the other Leaders in OP-18?

Gunko is one of six new Leader cards in OP-18, and the Asia English page lists them all by number. Her number, OP18-060, falls in the middle of the numbered list.

The list comes from the Asia English product page, which counts Leader Cards as 6 in the rarity breakdown. That matches the six names above, so Gunko is one of the set’s six main Leaders.

If you collect by Leader, the official text gives Gunko three cards: one Leader (with its Super Leader Alt Art version), one alt art and one combo card. The other five Leaders appear on the page by Leader number only, and the Asia English page names no Leader alt art for any of them. For the full run, see our OP-18 Leader Cards guide.

Who is Saint Shamrock, and why is it linked to Gunko?

Saint Shamrock is the other character making a card game debut in OP-18, and the English page names Saint Gunko and Saint Shamrock together in the same sentence. Shamrock’s card is OP18-119 Saint Shamrock, an alt art with artwork by Yoshitaka Amano.

That shared announcement is the link: both characters debut in this set, which features the Holy Knights of God. The product pages do not state a gameplay link between the two, so treat the pairing as a collecting choice.

If the Divine Knights theme is your reason to buy, your target list is OP18-060, OP18-065 and OP18-084 for Gunko, plus OP18-119 for Shamrock. Our OP-18 Secret Rare and Amano alt art article covers the Shamrock side in more depth.

What else is in the OP-18 set around the Gunko cards?

OP-18 holds 128 entries in total: 127 card types plus one DON!! card type, spread across nine rarity groups. The Japanese and Asia English pages give the same counts, and they add up exactly: 6 + 1 + 6 + 3 + 10 + 26 + 30 + 45 + 1 = 128.

These are counts of card types, not odds. The official pages do not give how often any card appears in a pack, and this guide does not either. They do add one warning on the Asia English page: packs are randomly assembled, so multiples of the same card may appear and completing a full set may be difficult. Illustrations may also differ somewhat from the final product, and details may change.

That warning applies to the Gunko images in this article. The reveal images shown here are official, but the page itself says final artwork can differ a little.

Other cards named on the official pages give context for what sits near Gunko in the set: OP18-031 Nico Robin as a Super Alt Art, and the five other Leaders above. If you want a wider view of the cards revealed so far, our OP-18 revealed card list and the OP-18 Complete Guide cover the set as a whole.

Which products and events outside the booster pack carry the OP-18 launch?

Two products tied to the OP-18 launch are named on the official pages: Double Pack Set Vol.13 [DP-13] and the 4th Anniversary Event. Neither lists a Gunko card by number, so they are launch extras rather than listed ways to find OP18-060, OP18-065 or OP18-084.

DP-13 releases on November 20, 2026 (English page). Its contents are Booster Pack [OP-18] x2 and one DON!! Card, which comes in one of two new designs. The packaging doubles as a card case, and the page notes that product details may differ from the actual product. For Gunko collectors the point is that DP-13 contains OP-18 booster packs.

The 4th Anniversary Event (also called the OP-18 Release Event) runs from November 20 to December 17, 2026 at local game stores. Formats are Constructed, Sealed or Standard Regulation. Participation prizes are the 4th Anniversary Tournament Pack (75 types), the P-161 Monkey.D.Luffy promo, a 4th Anniversary Leader Card and World United DON!! cards. The winner prize is P-161 Monkey.D.Luffy in Silver foil with a Gold stamp. Players can apply through TCG+ from November 6, 2026, and a Bandai Namco ID is required.

The event shares the “4th anniversary” label with OP18-065, but the event page does not say OP18-065 is a prize. Keep them separate: the card comes from OP-18, and the event gives its own prizes.

What are the lottery sale and launch commemorative event for OP-18 in Japan?

Japan has two dated programs around the OP-18 launch: a lottery sale through Premium Bandai and a launch commemorative event announced by ONE PIECE.com. The Japanese product page states that lottery applications run from November 6 to November 12, 2026.

The launch commemorative event application window has already closed, with winners announced on October 30, 2026. The Premium Bandai lottery application window is open now, from November 6 to November 12. The TCG+ applications for the 4th Anniversary Event also open on November 6.

The ONE PIECE.com post of October 16 also confirms that EB-05 ONE PIECE Heroines Edition vol.2 releases on October 31, 2026 at 240 yen, the same price as an OP-18 pack in Japan. That puts the two Japanese releases three weeks apart, and our EB-05 vs OP-18 comparison sets them side by side.

How should you follow Gunko cards before release?

Track three things before November 21: the card numbers, the official product pages and the edition. The card numbers OP18-060, OP18-065 and OP18-084 are the stable identifiers, and everything else, including nicknames, can vary by source.

Here is a short checklist built from the official pages:

• Use the card number, not the nickname. The Divine Knights parallel is OP18-065, as named on the Japanese page; the English page calls the same card an Alt Art.
• Separate the Leader from its alternate art. OP18-060 appears as a regular Leader and as a Super Leader Alt Art.
• Pick your edition. Japanese and English editions differ in pack price and release day.
• Read the notes on the product page. The pages say final illustrations may differ somewhat and details may change.

If you want a decision rather than a list, the clear recommendation is this: collectors of the Divine Knights theme should target all three Gunko numbers plus OP18-119 Saint Shamrock, and anyone who wants the Leader and its partner should start with OP18-060 and OP18-084.

Our related guides cover the surrounding questions: what is confirmed about OP-18 pull rates, the OP-18 pre-order guide for overseas buyers and what is officially confirmed about the next set. The chase side is covered in the OP-18 chase cards article.

Which Japanese One Piece boxes are available to buy now while you wait?

While OP-18 is still ahead, you can buy Japanese boxes from the OP-17, OP-16 and OP-15 sets, which are different sets and do not contain Gunko cards. These are linked here as other sets, not as OP-18 products.

If you only need one pick, OP-17 is the closest set to OP-18 in numbering, and the OP-17 product page has pricing and availability confirmed at checkout. The OP-16 carton and the damaged OP-15 box are listed as damaged-packaging items, so read those pages before you order.

Shipping and payment terms come from our own policy pages. Standard shipping is FedEx International Connect Plus with a tracking number, usually 3-7 business days after dispatch. Expedited shipping is FedEx International Priority with a tracking number, usually 2-5 business days after dispatch. Both transit times are estimates only, and the cost is calculated at checkout from your delivery address (shipping policy). Most orders are processed and shipped within 5 business days after PayPal or Wise payment has cleared, and there is no minimum order amount or quantity.

All payments are made in Japanese yen. Wise bank transfer carries no payment processing fee, while PayPal and card payments through PayPal carry a 5% payment processing fee (payment methods). Customs processing and carrier events after handoff to FedEx are outside our control, as the shipping policy states.

Bottom Line

Gunko OP18 comes down to three card numbers: OP18-060 (Leader, with a Super Leader Alt Art), OP18-065 (alt art) and OP18-084 (combo card). Collect by number, pick your edition, and use the official dates of November 21 for Japan and November 20 for English. For the wider set, start with the EB-05 vs OP-18 comparison and the OP-18 release date guide.
