One Piece OP-05 Awakening of the New Era: The Set, Chases, and Math

One Piece Card Game OP-05 "Awakening of the New Era" released December 8, 2023 in English as Bandai's 1st-Anniversary set: 127 card types split across 6 Leaders, 45 Commons, 30 Uncommons, 26 Rares, 10 Super Rares, 2 Secret Rares, 6 Special Cards, 1 DON!! card, and 1 1st-Anniversary special, with an embossed finish on every card, an MSRP of $4.49 per English pack, and a chase ceiling at the OP05-119 Monkey D. Luffy Manga Alternate Art (Gear 5) that lists around $3,815 raw NM and $13,650 PSA 10 per rarecards.nl Feb 2026 hobby comps. Half the internet treats the OP05-119 Secret Rare and the OP05-119 Manga Alternate Art as the same card. They are not — same card number, ~120x price differential at brief date. This guide walks the 1st-Anniversary set context, the 6 actual OP-05 leaders (Luffy, Sakazuki, Sabo, Rosinante, Belo Betty, Enel — not Yamato, Whitebeard, or Marco, despite what half the community posts say), the four Manga Alt Art chases plus the two Secret Rares, the two SP parallel reprints Bandai carried in OP-05 packs (Yamato OP01-121 SP and Kaido OP04-044 SP), the honest sealed-vs-singles math at the current ~$995 EN booster box price, and the format-meta history of the OP-05 era. Pullmarket — operated by Pullmarket LLC — runs this article as the canonical OP-05 buyer's-perspective explainer in collector language.

OP-05 in 60 Seconds: The 1st-Anniversary Set

One Piece Card Game OP-05 "Awakening of the New Era" shipped in English on December 8, 2023, three and a half months after the Japanese counterpart's August 26, 2023 release, and is built around the Skypiea arc (God Enel's debut as a leader) and the Revolutionary Army (Sabo, Belo Betty, Rosinante) as the dual narrative anchors. The official Bandai EN product page at en.onepiece-cardgame.com/products/boosters/op05/ is the source of truth for the set spec.

• Set code / release. OP-05 (English), December 8, 2023. Japanese OP-05 released August 26, 2023. Bandai's 1st-Anniversary set — every card features an embossed premium finish, and the set carries a 1st-Anniversary Special card alongside SP parallel reprints of two fan favorites from earlier sets (Yamato OP01-121 SP and Kaido OP04-044 SP — see H2 6).
• Total cards. 127 card types (126 + 1 Anniversary special) per the official Bandai EN portal, plus 27+1 parallel-design cards for 154+ unique prints when parallels are counted (Limitless TCG tracks 154 at brief date).
• Rarity breakdown. 6 Leaders, 45 Commons, 30 Uncommons, 26 Rares, 10 Super Rares, 2 Secret Rares (OP05-118 Kaido + OP05-119 Luffy Gear 5), 6 Special Cards, 1 DON!! card, and 1 1st-Anniversary Special.
• Themes. Skypiea (Enel) and the Revolutionary Army (Sabo, Belo Betty, Rosinante), plus the two cross-arc leaders Sakazuki (Marine Admiral) and Luffy (the protagonist's Skypiea-era purple-deck print).
• MSRP / sealed price now. EN MSRP was $4.49 per pack at launch (Bandai EN product page); current EN booster box runs ~$995 on the TCGplayer market per the March 2026 verified pull by Bang For Your Buck TCG — a ~7x multiple on the ~$140 launch-MSRP box. No official Bandai EN reprint has occurred at brief date.

The 6 OP-05 Leader Cards (Ranked, with the Yamato/Whitebeard/Marco Correction)

The 6 OP-05 leaders are Monkey D. Luffy, Sakazuki, Sabo, Donquixote Rosinante, Belo Betty, and Enel — and that's the complete list. Yamato, Whitebeard (Edward Newgate), and Marco are NOT OP-05 leaders, despite cropping up repeatedly in community summaries: Yamato OP01-121 SP is a parallel reprint distributed in OP-05 packs (the original card is OP-01 Romance Dawn — see H2 6), Whitebeard is an OP-02 leader (OP02-001) that struggled in the OP-05 metagame, and Marco appears as a Super Rare character card in OP-05 (e.g. OP05-026) but does not have a leader print. Every leader below cross-references TheGamer's OP-05 leader ranking and the format-impact data from the onepiece.gg February 2024 meta report.

Why these 6 and only these 6. OP-05's set theme is Skypiea (Enel's leader debut) and the Revolutionary Army (Sabo, Betty, Rosinante), plus two cross-arc leaders — Sakazuki the Marine Admiral and Luffy in his Skypiea-era purple-deck print. Every OP-05 leader is either a brand-new leader print (Enel, Sabo, Betty, Rosinante) or a new leader-color expansion for an existing archetype (the Sakazuki Black/Blue print, the Luffy Purple print). The meta winners in the OP-05 format were not the four new Revolutionary-Army-and-Skypiea leaders themselves — they were Sakazuki and existing-archetype leaders boosted by OP-05 support cards. The format-history walk-through lives in H2 9.

The OP-05 Chase Ceiling: OP05-119 Monkey D. Luffy (Gear 5)

OP05-119 Monkey D. Luffy is two completely different cards with the same card number — one priced around $16 raw NM, the other around $3,815 raw NM, at brief date 2026-06-06. Both are mechanically identical (Cost 10, Strike type, 12,000 power, Purple, Four Emperors / Straw Hat Pirates type, On Play places all your Characters except this one at the bottom of your deck and grants an extra turn) — the difference is the rarity and the art treatment, and the price gap is ~120x. This is the single biggest source of buyer confusion on the OP-05 SERP at brief date.

• OP05-119 Secret Rare (SEC). The Secret Rare printing — standard in-game card frame, the Skypiea/Wano battle illustration, the Gear 5 Luffy gameplay print. Raw NM ~$15.99 per Sports Card Investor's OP05-119 SEC page (last sale 6/5/2026); PSA 10 ~$113 (SCI last sale 5/25/2026); +33.4% over the prior 30 days, the freshest momentum trend in the set. The playable Secret Rare — what most casual buyers actually pull and grade.
• OP05-119 Manga Alternate Art (Manga Rare). The Manga Alt Art printing — borderless, manga-illustration alt art rendered in the 1st-Anniversary Manga Rare tier (the ultra-low-pull-rate rarity Bandai introduced for OP-05). Raw NM ~€3,537 / ~$3,815; PSA 10 ~€12,670 / ~$13,650 per rarecards.nl's Top 15 OP-05 Chase Cards (Feb 2026). The OP-05 grail by a large margin — and one of the top-10 most-expensive One Piece TCG cards ever printed. For the cross-set top-N most-expensive ranking, see the Most Expensive One Piece Cards sibling.

Why this card matters in 2026. Gear 5 Luffy debuted in the One Piece manga in chapter 1044 and the anime in episode 1071 (August 2023, four months before OP-05 shipped in English); OP-05 is the first TCG-printed Gear 5 Luffy in the in-game card set. The Secret Rare is the playable-card collector target — the Manga Alt Art is the storytelling-art grail of the set. For Luffy's full chronicle across every OP set (OP-01 Red Romance Dawn, OP-02 Strawhat, OP-03, OP-04, OP-05 Gear 5, OP-06 follow-on prints), see the One Piece Luffy cards guide.

The Other Secret Rare: OP05-118 Kaido

OP05-118 Kaido is the second Secret Rare in OP-05, the only Kaido SEC in the One Piece TCG at brief date, and the steadier of the two OP-05 SECs in price terms (the OP05-119 SEC has been climbing harder, but the Kaido SEC has held its level since the OP-05 release window). Cross-reference PriceCharting's OP05-118 page for current single-card comps.

• Number / rarity. OP05-118, Secret Rare (SEC). One of two SECs in the entire 127-card OP-05 set.
• Type / power. Cost 10, 12,000 power, Blue, Four Emperors / Animal Kingdom Pirates type.
• On Play effect. Draw 4 cards if your opponent has 3 or less Life cards.
• Value at brief date 2026-06-06. Raw NM ~$45 / PSA 10 ~$190 per PriceCharting OP05-118 page (re-fetch at draft time — the OP-05 SEC tier moves week-to-week). The PSA 9 vs PSA 10 spread is roughly 2x; the raw to PSA 10 spread is ~4x — modest grading economics compared to the OP05-119 SEC.
• Why collectors care. Kaido is the Wano-arc antagonist. OP-05 carries the only Kaido SEC in the One Piece TCG at brief date — OP-04 Kingdoms of Intrigue printed Kaido as a Super Rare and SP, but OP-05 introduced the SEC tier. The Kaido SP parallel reprint (OP04-044 SP) is also distributed in OP-05 packs as a 1st-Anniversary fan-service print — that is NOT the same card as the OP05-118 SEC. See H2 6 for the SP-parallel disambiguation.

The Other Two Manga Alternate Art Chases: OP05-069 Trafalgar Law and OP05-074 Eustass Kid

The two non-Luffy Manga Alternate Art chases in OP-05 — OP05-069 Trafalgar Law and OP05-074 Eustass "Captain" Kid — sit in the 1st-Anniversary Manga Rare tier alongside the OP05-119 Luffy Manga Alt. All three are borderless, manga-illustrated cards distributed at ultra-low pull rates as Bandai's 1st-Anniversary art-tier introduction. Both Law and Kid have three printings each in OP-05 — a regular Super Rare, an Alternate Art Super Rare (SR-SP), and the Manga Alternate Art (SR-SP) — and only the Manga Alt is the chase tier. Cross-reference SNKRDUNK Magazine's OP05-069 SR-SP editorial for the Trafalgar Manga rare collector context.

The Trafalgar Manga rare is the second-tier chase of the set, behind the OP05-119 Luffy Manga Alt and ahead of the Kid Manga Alt. Three OP05-069 printings exist — the regular SR (around $13 NM foil per current TCGplayer comp), the Alternate Art SR-SP (mid-tier), and the Manga Alternate Art SR-SP (the chase tier). The PSA 9 to PSA 10 spread on the Manga Alt runs roughly 2x; the raw NM to PSA 10 spread is ~1.9x — a tight ladder by 1st-Anniversary standards. SNKRDUNK Magazine's editorial framing positions the Manga rare as "the Heart Pirates captain appears on a Manga Rare" — collector-press context that's worth reading if you're chasing the OP05-069 specifically.

The Kid Manga rare is the third-tier chase. OP05-074 follows the same three-printing pattern (regular SR, Alt Art SR-SP, Manga Alt SR-SP). The Kid Manga's PSA 10 / raw multiplier is the lowest of the three Manga rares at brief date (~1.13x), which is unusual — it suggests supply is tighter than demand on the Kid character at the brief date moment, or that raw-market sellers haven't repriced after the most recent comp window. Either way, the Kid Manga is the most-affordable Manga rare entry point in the set if you want a 1st-Anniversary borderless Alt Art and the Luffy and Law prices are out of budget.

The SP Parallel Reprints: Yamato OP01-121 SP and Kaido OP04-044 SP (1st-Anniversary Fan Service)

The two SP parallels distributed in OP-05 boosters — Yamato (OP01-121 SP) and Kaido (OP04-044 SP) — are not native OP-05 cards. They carry the original card number from the set they were first printed in (OP-01 Romance Dawn for Yamato; OP-04 Kingdoms of Intrigue for Kaido), with the SP rarity stamp denoting a special-art parallel reprint. Bandai distributed these from OP-05 packs as a 1st-Anniversary fan-service gesture — the cards mechanically function as the OP-01 / OP-04 versions in tournament play because the card number is preserved, but the art treatment is a brand-new SP parallel exclusive to OP-05 distribution.

• Yamato (SP) — card number OP01-121. Original print: OP-01 Romance Dawn (RD-V) Yamato. The OP-05 SP parallel is a special-art reprint with the SP rarity stamp. Raw NM ~€206 / ~$222 / PSA 10 ~€405 / ~$436 per rarecards.nl Feb 2026 comps.
• Kaido (SP) — card number OP04-044. Original print: OP-04 Kingdoms of Intrigue Kaido. The OP-05 SP parallel is a special-art reprint with the SP rarity stamp. Raw NM ~€167 / ~$180 / PSA 10 ~€278 / ~$300 (rarecards.nl, Feb 2026).
• The buyer disambiguation. If you pulled a "Yamato SP" from an OP-05 booster pack, the card number says OP01-121, not OP05-XXX. That is not a misprint — it is by design. The card is a 1st-Anniversary parallel from OP-05 distribution; the original card number is preserved so the slab legally functions as the OP-01 card for OP-TCG tournament play. The same applies to the Kaido SP at OP04-044.

OP-05 Booster Box Configuration and Pull-Rate Reality

OP-05 booster boxes ship in two regional configurations — the English (EN) box and the Japanese (JP) box — and the per-pack card count differs by region. Both EN and JP boxes contain 24 packs each, but the card count per pack does not match. Cross-shopping the JP version because the sealed-box price is lower (~$115 at brief date vs ~$995 EN) requires understanding the configuration delta first.

• English booster box (EN). 24 packs × 12 cards per pack = 288 cards per box total.
• Japanese booster box (JP). 24 packs × 6 cards per pack = 144 cards per box total — half the per-box card count of the EN version.
• Bandai does not publish official OP-05 pull rates. The hobby consensus, aggregated from community Reddit r/OnePieceTCG unboxings, retailer break results, and the onepiece.gg hobby database, is roughly:
  • Common / Uncommon: ~9 of 12 cards per EN pack
  • Rare or above: ~3 of 12 cards per EN pack
  • Super Rare / Secret Rare / Special hit: roughly 1 per pack, weighted heavily toward SR over SEC
  • Manga Alternate Art (the chase tier): anecdotally ~1 in 96 packs, or roughly 1 Manga rare per 4 EN booster boxes — zero official Bandai confirmation, and individual box variance is enormous

What a single 24-pack EN box realistically delivers, on the community-aggregated pull-rate math: ~9–11 Rares, 2–3 Super Rares, roughly a 25% chance of a Secret Rare hit, very low single-digit % chance of a Manga Alternate Art hit, and roughly 1 SP card on average. For the OP05-069 / OP05-074 / OP05-119 Manga rare chaser, the takeaway is straightforward: opening sealed for a specific Manga Alternate Art card is statistically unreliable on a single box — at ~$995 per EN box, the expected-value math points most buyers toward paying singles market for the specific Manga rare they want. The OP05-119 Luffy Manga Alt at ~$3,815 raw NM and the OP05-069 Trafalgar Manga at ~$985 raw NM both sit well above what a typical single box returns in cumulative pull value.

Sealed vs Singles in 2026: The $995 Box Math

At a current $995 EN booster box (TCGplayer market verified 2026-03-15 per Bang For Your Buck TCG) vs a cumulative ~$5,793 raw NM for the OP-05 chase tier as a complete singles set, the singles route is the predictable-cost path and the sealed route is the variance-bet. Every figure in this section is a brief-date starting point — OPTCG prices move week-to-week and the OP05-119 SEC's +33.4% MoM trend means any single number here can shift materially within a month.

The brief-date OP-05 chase math, raw NM and PSA 10:

• OP05-119 Luffy Manga Alt: ~$3,815 raw NM / ~$13,650 PSA 10 (rarecards.nl Feb 2026)
• OP05-069 Trafalgar Manga Alt: ~$985 raw NM / ~$1,915 PSA 10 (rarecards.nl Feb 2026)
• OP05-074 Kid Manga Alt: ~$932 raw NM / ~$1,051 PSA 10 (rarecards.nl Feb 2026)
• OP05-118 Kaido SEC: ~$45 raw NM / ~$190 PSA 10 (PriceCharting, 2026-06-06)
• OP05-119 Luffy SEC: ~$16 raw NM / ~$113 PSA 10 (Sports Card Investor, 6/5/2026 last sale; +33.4% over the prior 30 days)
• Cumulative chase set, raw NM: ~$5,793
• Cumulative chase set, PSA 10: ~$16,919
• EN booster box (sealed) at brief date: ~$995 (TCGplayer market, Bang For Your Buck TCG verified 2026-03-15)
• JP booster box (sealed) at brief date: ~$115 (rarecards.nl, Feb 2026 — but 6 cards per pack vs 12)

Three OP-05 path-to-pull options, framed honestly:

1. Buy graded singles. The exact OP-05 chase card you want — OP05-119 SEC or Manga Alt, OP05-118 Kaido SEC, OP05-069 or OP05-074 Manga Alt — at market price, today. Cumulative chase-set cost ~$5,793 raw NM, ~$16,919 PSA 10. Predictable, no variance, no surprise. Cross-check TCGplayer's OP-05 price guide, PriceCharting OP-05, and Sports Card Investor at decision time for the current week's comp.
2. Buy a sealed OP-05 EN booster box. ~$995 at brief date, 24 packs × 12 cards. Cinematic ripping experience, the sealed object on the shelf, the live unboxing moment — and per H2 7 pull-rate math, the typical box returns well under $995 in cumulative pull value. A single Manga Alt pull (anecdotally ~1 in 4 EN boxes) yields ~$985–$3,815+ raw value depending on which Manga rare hits — but the variance is enormous, and three boxes for one Manga hit averages ~$3,000 in sealed cost for ~$985–$3,815 in raw upside (best case the Luffy Manga). The math inverts hard if you do not hit. Honest framing: sealed is the experience purchase; the EV math is soft.
3. Rip a Pullmarket One Piece pack. Real third-party-graded singles allocated to your account from an OPTCG-curated pack with published odds before purchase. Each pull is held in Pullmarket's own insured, climate-controlled custody or sourced against verified supplier and partner-vault inventory per Terms §5.5. Per-card decision to vault, ship, trade, or sell back for Pullmarket Gems (store credit) within 24 hours. The rip-and-decide experience without committing $995 to chase a single Manga Alt tier.

OP-05 Meta History: How the Format Actually Played Out

The OP-05 competitive format ran from December 2023 through roughly April 2024, when OP-06 "Carrying On His Will" dropped and shifted the metagame. Bandai issued an in-format errata pack — community-tagged "OP-05.5" — in February 2024 to address mid-format balance issues, and the North America Finals at the end of the OP-05 window drew roughly 2,000 players. Format-impact data below cross-references the onepiece.gg February 1, 2024 meta report and One Piece Top Decks' EN-format OP-05 coverage.

• Tier 1 — Black Sakazuki. 32 of top 64 appearances at the NA Final, per onepiece.gg's meta report. Sakazuki's value engine was tempo plus cost reduction plus an extra-card-draw effect on every turn — a stacking value-curve that out-paced most archetypes in the OP-05 metagame.
• Tier 2 — Purple Luffy, Yellow Enel, Katakuri, Zoro. Yonas Abraham won the ~2,000-player NA Final playing the Yellow Enel mono-deck. Katakuri (Yellow archetype) was meaningfully boosted by new OP-05 support cards; Zoro played the aggressive role with positive Sakazuki and Purple Luffy matchups.
• Tier 3 — Red/Blue Luffy, Whitebeard (OP-02), Nami, Red/Green Law, Sabo, Rosinante, Betty. The new OP-05 leaders themselves (Sabo, Betty, Rosinante) did not crack tier 1 — the meta winners were existing archetypes powered by new OP-05 support cards. Whitebeard struggled despite established builds.
• Why this matters for collectors today. OP-05 leader cards with residual competitive demand (Sakazuki, Purple Luffy) hold steadier collector value at brief date than the tier-2 / tier-3 leaders (Sabo, Betty, Rosinante), whose singles pricing reflects the lower secondary-market demand. The Enel leader specifically carries an "NA Final winner" provenance premium among Yellow-deck collectors.

How to Land an OP-05 Chase Without Buying Cases: The Rip Alternatives

Three honest paths exist for any collector who wants an OP-05 chase card in a graded slab, and the right one depends on which buying experience you are actually after — predictable graded-single purchase, the sealed-box ripping experience, or the published-odds curated-pack alternative. The decision walkthrough lives in H2 8 step 1, step 2, and step 3 — what follows is the Pullmarket-specific framing for path three. Pullmarket — operated by Pullmarket LLC under the Terms published at /is-pullmarket-legit — is the published-odds, real-graded-single pack platform: every pack discloses the odds before you buy, every card pulled is a real third-party-graded slab (PSA, CGC, or SGC), and the operating model is hybrid custody under Terms §5.5 — pulled cards are held in Pullmarket's own insured, climate-controlled custody or sourced against verified supplier and partner-vault inventory and delivered on demand at redemption.

Pullmarket is not a sweepstakes, a lottery, a casino, or a wagering product — the product is collecting and ripping real third-party-graded cards with the odds published in front of you before you buy. Pullmarket Gems is store credit and explicitly not cashable (per Terms §9.1). The rip → vault / ship / trade / sell-back flow lives on the how it works page; the trust-and-safety walkthrough lives on is Pullmarket legit. For the curated One Piece pack lineup, including any OP-05–stocked tiers, see the One Piece packs page — odds are disclosed per pack before purchase, not after.

What Came Next: OP-06 and the OP-05 Collector Legacy

OP-06 "Carrying On His Will" dropped in English in late April 2024 as the follow-on set to OP-05, shifting the competitive metagame and introducing new leader prints that re-anchored the format for the spring 2024 cycle. The OP-05 format is now historical context for collectors — the cards still play in eternal-format and casual events, the leader pool is preserved, and the Manga Alternate Art chase tier (OP05-119 Luffy, OP05-069 Trafalgar, OP05-074 Kid) remains the visual high-water mark of the 1st-Anniversary set design language.
