All One Piece TCG sets, OP-01 to OP-16: all 16 sets with release dates, arcs, key mechanics, and chase cards, plus which are Standard-legal in 2026.
Reviewing
One Piece TCG
All One Piece TCG sets from OP-01 to OP-16 have maintained consistent quality despite a fast release pace.
Sixteen sets in four years is a fast pace for any TCG, and One Piece TCG has maintained consistent quality across all of them. Each set covers a different arc, introduces new mechanics, and reshapes the competitive format.
Knowing which sets exist, what they cover, and what their cards are worth is practical knowledge whether you are a collector tracking values, a competitive player evaluating standard-legal options, or a new player deciding where to start. New players should read the One Piece TCG beginner guide first for the turn structure and DON!! system before diving into set history.
This is the complete list, OP-01 through OP-16.
TL;DR: One Piece TCG has 16 main booster sets as of June 2026. Standard format: OP-09 to OP-16. Highest collector value: OP-01 (original set). Best current competitive investment: OP-16. Each set covers a different One Piece arc. OP-01 through OP-08 are rotated out of standard but remain valuable as collector pieces.
Standard format rotates sets in and out on a rolling basis. As of June 2026, the standard window is OP-09 through OP-16. Previous sets are not legal in official tournaments but maintain collector and casual value.

OP-16 One Month Meta Report: Complete 5-Week Breakdown
General · 9 min
EN Release: August 2022 | Arc: Romance Dawn / East Blue
Set Size: 121 cards | Standard: No (rotated)
Chase Card: Manga Rare Luffy ($280-350)
Key Mechanic: Base DON!! system introduction
The first set. Romance Dawn introduced One Piece TCG's core mechanics and featured the earliest anime arc. OP-01's collector value is the highest of any set because of low original print runs and the emotional significance of the first set in any TCG.
Manga Rare Luffy from OP-01 is the most expensive widely-traded One Piece TCG card in 2026. Shanks Parallel Alt Art and Roger Leader are the other notable high-value cards. None are competitively relevant, but all are coveted collector pieces.
Should you buy OP-01 today? Only for collector value at these prices. Boxes run $150-200+; singles are the only cost-efficient option.
EN Release: November 2022 | Arc: Marineford / Paramount War
Set Size: 121 cards | Standard: No (rotated)
Chase Card: Manga Rare Whitebeard ($90-120)
Key Mechanic: Blocker variants, Whitebeard Pirates archetype introduction
The first set to introduce Whitebeard Pirates as a coherent archetype. Many foundational deck archetypes in OPTCG trace back to OP-02 mechanics. Manga Rare Whitebeard is a permanent collector piece given Whitebeard's cultural significance in One Piece fandom.
EN Release: February 2023 | Arc: Fishman Island / New World introduction
Set Size: 121 cards | Standard: No (rotated)
Chase Card: Manga Rare Zoro ($130-160)
Key Mechanic: Blocker keyword refinement, Rush introduction
OP-03 expanded the deckbuilding vocabulary significantly with the Rush keyword (characters with Rush can attack on the turn they enter). Zoro's Manga Rare from this set is one of the strongest IP-driven collector pieces in the game.
EN Release: May 2023 | Arc: Alabasta / Baroque Works
Set Size: 133 cards | Standard: No (rotated)
Chase Card: Manga Rare Robin ($70-90)
Key Mechanic: Event timing interactions, alternative win conditions explored
OP-04 introduced Baroque Works characters and Crocodile-based archetypes. Nico Robin's Manga Rare has strong collector demand from dedicated fans of the character.
EN Release: August 2023 | Arc: Warlords / Shichibukai
Set Size: 133 cards | Standard: No (rotated)
Chase Card: Manga Rare Mihawk ($75-95)
Key Mechanic: Warlord synergy traits
The Warlord cards introduced IP depth for Seven Warlords characters. Mihawk collectors drove his Manga Rare price above what competitive demand would suggest.
EN Release: November 2023 | Arc: Thriller Bark / Sabaody
Set Size: 121 cards | Standard: No (rotated)
Chase Card: Manga Rare Perona ($55-70)
Key Mechanic: Counter-boosting character abilities
The most underrated set from a design perspective. Counter-boosting mechanics introduced in OP-06 influenced how counter decks developed through OP-10.
EN Release: February 2024 | Arc: Wano Country
Set Size: 133 cards | Standard: No (rotated, last checked)
Chase Card: Manga Rare Gear 5 Luffy ($200-260)
Key Mechanic: Gear system for Luffy leaders
Wano arc in card form. The Gear 5 Manga Rare is the highest individual ceiling card in the game due to Gear 5's cultural significance. OP-07 was a collector event at launch and retains strong secondary market demand.
EN Release: May 2024 | Arc: Egghead Island introduction
Set Size: 133 cards | Standard: No (rotated as of the OP-09 to OP-16 window)
Chase Card: Manga Rare Vegapunk ($65-85)
Key Mechanic: Scientist/SWORD affiliations
OP-08 introduced Egghead arc characters. Vegapunk, York, and the SWORD agents are all featured. The SWORD archetype has a dedicated competitive following.
EN Release: December 13, 2024 | Arc: Four Emperors era
Set Size: 129 cards | Standard: Yes
Chase Card: Gold Super Parallel Gol D. Roger (JP high end near 448,000 JPY, $3,500+ on the secondary market)
Key Mechanic: Four Manga Rares in a single set, the most of any set to that point, plus a Shanks Yonko archetype push
OP-09 doubled down on collector density: instead of the usual one Manga Rare, it shipped four, and the Gol D. Roger Gold Super Parallel became one of the most coveted pulls in the game's history. Competitively, the set pushed Four Emperors leaders forward and cemented Shanks as a Yonko-tier archetype.
EN Release: March 21, 2025 | Arc: Dressrosa, the Marines, and the Donquixote Family
Set Size: 126 cards | Standard: Yes
Chase Card: Trafalgar Law Manga Rare ($800+)
Key Mechanic: Marine and Supernova archetype expansion
Royal Blood built out both the Marines, laying groundwork for later Admiral-focused sets like OP-16, and the Supernova generation around Law and Kid. Law's Manga Rare, drawn from his Dressrosa panels, remains one of the most consistently valuable single-character pulls in the format.
EN Release: June 6, 2025 | Arc: Whole Cake Island
Set Size: 128 cards | Standard: Yes
Chase Card: Luffy Gear 5 3rd Anniversary Special (Gold and Silver variants)
Key Mechanic: Big Mom Pirates and Vinsmoke Family archetypes
OP-11 mined the Whole Cake Island arc for the Big Mom Pirates and Vinsmoke Family. Its headline pulls were the 3rd Anniversary Gold and Silver Luffy specials rather than a traditional single Manga Rare, a format twist Bandai has revisited in later anniversary sets.
EN Release: August 22, 2025 | Arc: Mentor and student pairs across the series
Set Size: 117 cards | Standard: Yes
Chase Card: Manga Rare Luffy (opened near $250, settled around $130 within two weeks)
Key Mechanic: Legacy synergy traits linking mentor and student cards
Legacy of the Master is a tribute set, pairing mentors like Rayleigh, Zeff, and Garp with the students who carry their techniques forward. Its Manga Rare Luffy is a useful case study in how fast launch-week prices correct: the card lost roughly half its opening value inside two weeks.
EN Release: November 7, 2025 | Arc: The Three Brothers, an Ace and Sabo tribute
Set Size: 120 cards | Standard: Yes
Chase Card: Luffy Red Manga OP13-118 (around $2,300)
Key Mechanic: Red Manga 3rd Anniversary parallel treatment, Five Elders reveal cards
Bandai's 3rd Anniversary set centers Luffy, Ace, and Sabo as the Three Brothers, with a new Red Manga parallel treatment that pushed launch prices well above a standard Manga Rare. The Five Elders' alternate-art reveal cards, bundled into a rare "god pack," were the set's other headline chase.
EN Release: January 16, 2026 | Arc: Post-Egghead, seven new Leaders
Set Size: 157 cards (EN release folds in Japan's separate EB-04 Egghead Crisis cards) | Standard: Yes
Chase Card: Dracule Mihawk Manga Alternate Art (OP14-119)
Key Mechanic: Seven new Leader cards in one set, plus a notable banlist change that reshaped multiple archetypes
OP-14 introduced seven new Leaders at once, the largest single-set Leader wave to that point, alongside a banlist adjustment that hit several established archetypes. Mihawk's Manga Alternate Art edged out Boa Hancock's alt art as the set's top pull. The fallout from that banlist change is covered in the OP-15 meta tier list article linked below.
EN Release: March 2026 | Arc: Egghead conflict
Set Size: 133 cards | Standard: Yes
Chase Card: Manga Rare Luffy (Egghead version, $90-110)
Key Mechanic: Future Sight mechanic introduction
OP-15 is the direct predecessor to OP-16 and sets the competitive foundation that OP-16 builds on. The OP-15 meta tier list is covered in the OP-15 meta tier list article.
EN Release: June 12, 2026 | Arc: Paramount War
Set Size: 133 cards | Standard: Yes
Chase Card: Manga Rare Akainu ($130-180)
Key Mechanic: Jail mechanic (
OP16-041OP16-041Shop on TCGplayer Buggy), Regeneration (Marco), Fleet Admiral system (Akainu)
The current set. OP-16 returns to the Paramount War arc and introduces 6 new leaders based on the major figures of Marineford. Three of those leaders have developed into competitive archetypes immediately: 
OP16-065OP16-065Shop on TCGplayer Akainu (Tier 0), 
OP16-014OP16-014Shop on TCGplayer Marco (Tier 1), and 
OP16-075OP16-075Shop on TCGplayer Garp (Tier 2-3).
OP-16 is the current competitive environment. For standard play, this is the set to know.

OP-16 is not the end of the list for long. OP-17, officially titled "World's Strongest Warriors," is confirmed for a first-ever global simultaneous release on August 26, 2026, meaning EN and JP players open packs the same day for the first time in the game's history. Only two Leaders are officially confirmed so far, Newgate in Red and Luffy in Black; every other leader rumor circulating is an unconfirmed leak. Track official reveals as they land in the OP-17 spoilers tracker.
As of June 2026, standard format includes OP-09 through OP-16 plus the associated starter deck releases. This means:
Sets OP-01 through OP-08 are not legal in official tournaments. They retain casual and legacy value but cannot be played in Championship Series events.
Rotation policy: Bandai Namco typically rotates sets on an annual schedule. Sets removed from standard usually have 3-4 months advance notice before the rotation takes effect. Watch official announcements before investing heavily in any older standard set. The standard format guide covers the full rules, rotation schedule, and meta rotation implications in detail.
Collector buying: OP-01 through OP-07 for legacy collector value, particularly Manga Rares of major characters (Luffy, Zoro, Shanks, Whitebeard). These hold long-term floor value through IP appeal.
Competitive buying: OP-09 through OP-16 only. Focus on the specific cards in your target deck archetype; do not box crack for competitive pieces. Singles on TCGPlayer.
Casual/gift buying: OP-16 starter decks and booster packs are the best gift option because they are current, legal for casual play, and feature recognizable characters from the popular Paramount War arc.

Can I use cards from rotated sets in casual play? Yes. Casual play has no format restrictions. Only official sanctioned tournaments enforce standard format rotation.
Which is the most valuable set to invest in? No TCG set is a reliable investment. OP-01 has the best historical appreciation, but past performance is not a guarantee. Buy cards you want to play or display, not cards you plan to sell at a profit.
Do starter deck cards count as the same set as the corresponding booster? Starter decks have their own set identifier (ST-01, ST-02, etc.) separate from booster sets (OP-01, OP-02, etc.). Both categories are legal in standard where applicable.
How often does the standard format rotate? Bandai Namco has not published a fixed rotation schedule. Historically, sets have remained in standard for 12-18 months after EN release. Monitor official announcements.
Is there a legacy format for rotated cards? No official legacy format exists as of June 2026. Unofficial legacy events run at some local stores. Bandai Namco has not announced formal legacy support.
