The OP-18 release date is Nov. 20, 2026 for the English 'The Dominance of God' booster, per Bandai's English product page, and Sat., Nov. 21, 2026 in Japan. Packs list at $4.99 in English and ¥240 in Japan. Before that, EB-05 Heroines Edition vol.2 and the TS-03 Mini Case Set arrive Oct. 30 in English.
That gives One Piece Card Game collectors four official English releases in about six weeks, with Japan running one day behind on the two booster products. The firm parts are the dates, the MSRP and the set sizes. The parts still moving are the chase card lists, the special parallel lineup and secondary-market preorder prices. Plan purchases around what is confirmed and treat the rest as speculation.
The calendar: Oct. 30 to Nov. 21
Every date and price below comes from Bandai's own product pages: the English pages for EB-05, TS-03 and OP-18, the Japanese pages for EB-05 and OP-18, and the English product list.
| Product | Code | English release | Japanese release | MSRP | Set size | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Extra Booster: ONE PIECE Heroines Edition vol.2 | EB-05 | Fri., Oct. 30, 2026 | Sat., Oct. 31, 2026 | $4.99 / ¥240 per pack | 75+2 types | | Mini Case Set: Luffy/Shanks/Hancock | TS-03 | Fri., Oct. 30, 2026 | Not covered here | $11.99 | 6 case types, 6 promo types | | Booster Pack: The Dominance of God | OP-18 | Fri., Nov. 20, 2026 | Sat., Nov. 21, 2026 | $4.99 / ¥240 per pack | 127+1 types | | Gift Collection: ONE PIECE Heroines | GC-2026 | Fri., Nov. 20, 2026 | Not covered here | $44.99 | Contents not listed here |
One correction to watch for: some listings around the web say OP-18 releases on the same day in both languages, and at least one gives a later Japanese date. Bandai's Japanese page says 2026年11月21日(土), which is Saturday, Nov. 21. Go by that.
EB-05 Heroines Edition vol.2: what Bandai confirms
The official English name is 'EXTRA BOOSTER -ONE PIECE HEROINES EDITION vol.2- [EB-05]'. The English page lists Oct. 30 at $4.99 per pack and a set size of '75+2 types in total.' The Japanese page adds the detail most collectors want: 6 cards per pack at ¥240 tax included, and a rarity breakdown.
-
7 Leaders
-
29 Commons
-
21 Rares
-
9 Super Rares
-
1 Secret Rare
-
8 Special Cards
-
2 DON!! cards
Bandai's pages don't say how many packs are in a box. Retailers Samurai Sword Tokyo and Japhunter both report 24 packs per box.
On the Leaders, Samurai Sword Tokyo (updated Oct. 7) reports a new Nico Robin Leader (EB05-010) plus new illustrations of six existing heroine Leaders: Shirahoshi, Nami, Jewelry Bonney, Boa Hancock, Rebecca and Nefertari Vivi. That is seven, which matches Bandai's official Leader count. The count backs up the retailer report, but the names themselves come from the retailer, not from Bandai.
The 8 Special Card slots are official. Which heroines fill them is not. Japhunter (Sept. 19) reports a Shirahoshi manga/super alt card (EB05-014) and SP cards for Nami and Nico Robin among the reveals so far. Until Bandai publishes a card list, treat any full SP lineup as reported.
EB-05 preorder prices vs the last Heroines set
This is the main money decision of the month. TCGIntel (Oct. 2) reports English EB-05 preorder boxes selling for $365.91-397.38 between late September and early October. TCGIntel says itself that 'every EB-05 figure below is a preorder sale or a dated prediction.'
For a reference point, PriceCharting tracks the English EB-03 box, Heroines Edition vol.1, at $323.61 ungraded, with recent sales of $320.00-$324.97 between Sept. 27 and Oct. 7, 2026.
Put plainly, buyers are paying more for an unreleased vol.2 box than the market currently pays for a sealed vol.1 box that has been out for a while. That premium is a bet on Special Cards Bandai hasn't officially named. TCGIntel projects the 8 SP cards will 'settle at roughly $700-1,200 raw within three months.' That is a forecast, not a sale price, and it should be weighed as one.
Before paying a premium, ask yourself:
-
Would you still want this box at that price if the SP lineup came in weaker than the rumors?
-
Could you get the one or two cards you actually want as singles for less once the set has a few weeks of real sales?
-
Is the seller's ship date firm, and what happens if your allocation gets cut?
TS-03 Mini Case Set: what $11.99 buys
The TS-03 Mini Case Set -Luffy/Shanks/Hancock- releases Oct. 30 in English at $11.99, the same price for every type. Each set contains:
-
One Mini Case (1 of 6 types)
-
One Promotion Card (1 of 6 types)
-
Two OP-17 '-THE WORLD'S STRONGEST WARRIORS-' booster packs
It has no EB-05 or OP-18 packs. Because it shares a release date with EB-05, expect some confusion at retail. TS-03 makes sense if you want a specific promo or case, or you want OP-17 packs anyway. It is not a cheap way into the new sets.
OP-18 The Dominance of God: the official basics
The official English name is 'BOOSTER PACK -THE DOMINANCE OF GOD- [OP-18]', and the Japanese name is 'ブースターパック 神の支配【OP-18】'. From Bandai's English and Japanese pages:
-
English release Nov. 20, 2026 at $4.99 per pack
-
Japanese release Sat., Nov. 21, 2026 at ¥240 tax included, 6 cards per pack
-
127+1 types in total
-
Themes: Water Seven and the Holy Knights of God
-
'Saint Gunko and Saint Shamrock make their ONE PIECE CARD GAME debut'

Cards become tournament legal 7 days after release
Players should plan around the tournament-legal gap. Cards bought on release day can't be used in sanctioned play for a week, which can delay when some playable singles hit their demand peak.
OP-18 chase cards: confirmed vs reported
Bandai's English and Japanese OP-18 pages do not mention a God's Knights Super Parallel, Yoshitaka Amano or any specific chase card. What the hobby is talking about comes from Japanese reporting.
Inside Games (Sept. 17) reports that OP-18 is the second 4th-anniversary pack. It says the 'God's Knights Super Parallel' (神の騎士団スーパーパラレル) features Saint Gunko (軍子宮) as the 4th-anniversary card, and that Yoshitaka Amano drew special parallels of Loki and Saint Shamrock.
That is a credible report, but it isn't a Bandai card list. Card numbers, how many versions exist and whether these cards will be in the English print are not confirmed in our sources. Samurai Sword Tokyo's "Reported vs Official" page keeps a running split between the two and is worth bookmarking. If you are paying above MSRP for English OP-18 because of an Amano card, you are betting on something the English product page doesn't promise.
OP-18 preorder prices: MSRP vs speculation
English
Miniature Market lists the English OP-18 box (24 packs) at $119.99, close to MSRP math ($4.99 × 24 = $119.76). When checked on Oct. 10, 2026 it was listed as a preorder, 'Out of stock', 'Limit 6 per customer', with an estimated November 2026 release and shipping only to the U.S., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. So boxes at MSRP exist, but they sell out and come with limits. We have not verified secondary-market English OP-18 preorder prices.
Japan
Japanese lotteries run near list price. Per Inside Games, FamilyMart's OP-18 box lottery took entries from Sept. 15 (10:00) to Sept. 21 (23:59), was open to newsletter members only, announced winners Sept. 24 and has a pickup window of Nov. 28 to Dec. 11, at ¥5,760 per box. Samurai Sword Tokyo reports an Amazon Japan invitation-request lottery at ¥5,782 per box.
The open market looks very different. Tokyo Card Report found Japanese marketplace sellers asking ¥19,760-¥39,800 for OP-18 boxes on Sept. 24, against the ¥5,760 list price. These are asking prices, not sales, and Tokyo Card Report notes that such markups 'do not survive international shipping costs.' Importers outside Japan should be especially careful with those listings.
What to do this week
-
Put in for MSRP allocations. Sign up for restock alerts at retailers selling near $119.99 for English OP-18, and use legitimate lottery channels if you buy Japanese.
-
Don't pay secondary preorder premiums yet. On both EB-05 and OP-18 the premium is paying for chase cards that aren't on an official list. Wait for Bandai's card lists and a few weeks of sales after release.
-
Buy singles rather than chasing SP cards sealed. If you want one specific Special Card or parallel, the first weeks of sales usually tell you more than any preorder forecast.
-
Don't confuse TS-03 with the new sets. It contains OP-17 packs only.
-
Run the numbers before grading. Once the new cards are in hand, the card grading break-even tool compares the extra net proceeds from grading against selling raw, using costs you enter yourself. It doesn't predict grades, current prices or investment returns, so plug in real sold comps rather than preorder estimates.
