OP-02 is the second One Piece booster on Bandai’s English product list. It came out in English on March 10, 2023 at USD $4.19 a pack, 126 days after the Japanese OP-02 of November 4, 2022. It has 121 card types in six rarities, the same counts as OP-01. Its card lists show 154 entries, because 32 cards also come as alt-art versions under the same number. Two things are new against OP-01: the first black cards in a booster, and Stage cards, which OP-01’s list does not have.
When did OP-02 come out, and what did it cost?
| English | Japanese | |
|---|---|---|
| Code | OP-02 | OP-02 |
| Release | Friday, March 10, 2023 | Friday, November 4, 2022 |
| Price per pack | USD $4.19 list price | 198 yen, tax included |
| Card types | 121 | 121 |
| Extra card in each box | One, from 6 kinds | The same |
The Japanese set has 6 cards per pack, plus an index card, and 27 parallel versions.
The Japanese release date moved from the one first announced.
English OP-02 followed English OP-01 (December 2, 2022), and Japanese OP-02 followed Japanese OP-01 (July 22, 2022). Our One Piece set release dates guide follows every booster from there, and our guide to One Piece booster box contents covers pack sizes.
What does OP-02 add to the cards?
The set brings three additions:
- Black. Black first appeared in the starter deck ST-06 and arrives in the boosters with OP-02. Of the 121 cards, 28 are black alone: the 27 numbers from OP02-093 to OP02-119, plus the Secret Rare Kuzan at OP02-121.
- New multicolor Leaders. Three Leaders carry two colors: Monkey.D.Garp (red and black), Sanji (green and blue) and Zephyr (purple and black). OP-01’s two-color Leaders paired red with green and blue with purple.
- Stage cards. OP-02 has four, one each in red, green, blue and purple: Moby Dick (OP02-024), Land of Wano (048), New Kama Land (070) and Impel Down (092). OP-01’s English card list has no Stage cards at all.
The 121 cards are 8 Leaders, 93 Characters, 16 Events and 4 Stages. OP-01 had the same 8 Leaders and 93 Characters, with 20 Events and no Stages. There is still no yellow: the next booster, OP-03, brings new yellow cards, and our OP-03 guide covers them.
How many cards are in OP-02?
The English and Japanese counts match for each rarity:
| Rarity | Card types |
|---|---|
| Secret Rare | 2 |
| Super Rare | 10 |
| Rare | 26 |
| Uncommon | 30 |
| Common | 45 |
| Leader | 8 |
| Total | 121 |
OP-02 has no Special cards and no cards after a plus sign, and every English entry has OP-02 as its only card set. Our guide to One Piece rarities explains each rarity mark.
How is OP-02 numbered?
In color blocks, with each block’s Leaders at the front:
| Numbers | Color | Leaders |
|---|---|---|
| OP02-001 | Red | Edward.Newgate |
| OP02-002 | Red/Black | Monkey.D.Garp |
| OP02-003 to 024 | Red | None |
| OP02-025 | Green | Kin’emon |
| OP02-026 | Green/Blue | Sanji |
| OP02-027 to 048 | Green | None |
| OP02-049 to 070 | Blue | Emporio.Ivankov, OP02-049 |
| OP02-071 | Purple | Magellan |
| OP02-072 | Purple/Black | Zephyr |
| OP02-073 to 092 | Purple | None |
| OP02-093 to 119 | Black | Smoker, OP02-093 |
| OP02-120 | Purple | None; this is Uta, a Secret Rare |
| OP02-121 | Black | None; this is Kuzan, a Secret Rare |
The blocks are uneven: 24 numbers each for red and green, 22 each for blue and purple, and 27 for black. The first four blocks each end with their Events and then their Stage. Black ends with three Events, OP02-117 to 119, and has no Stage. The two Secret Rares sit after the blocks, as in OP-01. The card number entry defines the term.
How many alt-art versions does OP-02 have?
Thirty-three. Bandai counts types, not alternate art versions, and each version is an extra entry under the same number:
| Base rarity | Card numbers | Numbers with an alt-art | Alt-art entries |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leader | 8 | 8 | 8 |
| Super Rare | 10 | 10 | 11 |
| Secret Rare | 2 | 2 | 2 |
| Rare | 26 | 6 | 6 |
| Uncommon | 30 | 4 | 4 |
| Common | 45 | 2 | 2 |
| Total | 121 | 32 | 33 |
Every Leader, Super Rare and Secret Rare has at least one. The Super Rare Portgas.D.Ace (OP02-013) has two, so it brings up three entries. The ten Super Rares are Edward.Newgate (OP02-004), Portgas.D.Ace (013), Kouzuki Oden (030), Nami (036), Emporio.Ivankov (051), Monkey.D.Luffy (062), Magellan (085), Kuzan (096), Sakazuki (099) and Borsalino (114). The lower rarities have a handful: Rares such as Marco (OP02-018), Uncommons such as Boa Hancock (OP02-059) and Commons such as Tashigi (OP02-105).
The totals match OP-01’s, 32 numbers and 33 entries, but the split differs. In OP-01 the card with two alt-arts is the Secret Rare Shanks, and its lower rarities hold 6 Rare, 2 Uncommon and 4 Common alt-arts, against OP-02’s 6, 4 and 2.
Now the arithmetic. The Japanese count is 27 parallel versions, and in both languages each box gets an extra card from 6 kinds. That makes 33, the number of alt-art entries on each list, and 121 types plus 33 versions make the 154 entries. The match is Rip.fan’s arithmetic: neither page says the box cards are separate from the 27, and neither list marks which six are the box cards. Our parallel entry defines the term.
How do you tell an alt-art from the standard print?
By the art. Our guide to One Piece rarities notes that on Bandai’s own images some early alt-arts show no star by the rarity mark. So set the card beside the standard print on Bandai’s card list before you trust a listing’s label.
Which names need a second look?
Seven names appear under more than one card number. Kuzan is the clearest case: a Super Rare at OP02-096 and a Secret Rare at OP02-121, each with an alt-art, so four Kuzan entries. Five Leaders share a name with another card in the set: Edward.Newgate, Monkey.D.Garp, Emporio.Ivankov, Magellan and Smoker. Monkey.D.Luffy has a Rare and a Super Rare. A listing that gives only the name is not enough.
Are the English and Japanese OP-02 the same set?
On the card lists, yes. The English and Japanese sets share the same 121 numbers, with the same rarity and card type for each, and the same count of entries for each number, 154 in all. What differs is the release date, the price and the pack size. Our guide to Japanese and English One Piece cards covers how the two languages differ in later sets.
How do you check OP-02 card prices?
Rip.fan’s card price lookup covers English Pokémon cards only, so price an OP-02 card from sold listings:
- Pin down the version. Search the number on Bandai’s card list, then match the art. OP02-013 brings up three entries, all Super Rares of Portgas.D.Ace.
- Match the language. The two lists carry the same cards, so check which language a listing is for before you compare prices.
- Use dated sold prices. Our guides to checking a One Piece card’s value and market, listed and sold prices explain which figure to trust.
- Check it is genuine. See spotting fake One Piece cards, and buy any booster box as sealed product with its seal intact.
