OP-17 Super Parallel Cards: New Manga Rare Tier Explained

Updated October 2, 2026: Bandai's official page identifies two separate 4th Anniversary Pirate Crew Alt-Art cards, EB04-061_4thR and OP17-118_4thR. They are not part of the 11-card Super Leader, Super Alt-Art, and Haki SP count. Limitless's current English rows put OP17-079 at $1,736.68 and the OP17-118 manga/super alternate-art row near $6,100; the latter is not a quote for the separate 4th Anniversary print.

What Happened

Three premium treatment families are relevant to this guide. Bandai's English OP-17 product page uses different labels for two of them, so the naming needs a quick clarification: its "Super Leader Alt-Art" is the Luffy Leader treatment, and its "Super Alt-Art" is the four-card Emperor treatment. Collector trackers commonly call those Super Leader Parallel and Super Parallel.

Super Leader Parallel is a premium Leader treatment with one confirmed example: Monkey D. Luffy OP17-079OP17-079Shop on TCGplayer (OP17-079), the first such treatment shown by Bandai for the game. It uses original manga panel artwork and a premium finish, different from the standard and regular alternate-art Leader prints. Limitless's October 2 snapshot lists the English manga/super alternate-art row at $1,736.68, compared with $0.21 for the base print and $51.39 for the regular alternate art. It was the highest tracked English price among the three families in this guide, but the separate 4th Anniversary Pirate Crew Alt-Art treatment needs its own comparison.

Super Parallel applies to four cards nicknamed the "Four Emperors" set: Shanks OP17-022OP17-022Shop on TCGplayer (OP17-022), Edward Newgate OP17-005OP17-005Shop on TCGplayer/Whitebeard (OP17-005), Kaido OP17-062OP17-062Shop on TCGplayer (OP17-062), and Charlotte Linlin OP17-112OP17-112Shop on TCGplayer/Big Mom (OP17-112). Bandai's English product page calls the visual treatment Super Alt-Art. Community trackers and some marketplaces call it Manga Rare because the cards echo the manga-art concept OP-16 introduced with its Admiral Manga Rares. Limitless's October 2 snapshot lists the four English rows at $1,502.19 for Shanks, $1,117.53 for Whitebeard, $1,081.63 for Kaido, and $808.82 for Big Mom.

Conqueror's Haki Special is the third treatment family, called Color of the Supreme King Haki SP on Bandai's English product page. It covers six characters tied to that ability in the story: Roronoa Zoro, Kozuki Oden, Monkey D. Garp OP16-075OP16-075Shop on TCGplayer, Gol D. Roger, Yamato, and Silvers Rayleigh OP14-108OP14-108Shop on TCGplayer. The art style is distinct from the other two: black-and-white ink illustration overlaid with a crimson lightning effect representing Conqueror's Haki. Garp's version reprints his Super Rare card from an earlier set with this new treatment.

The separate 4th Anniversary Pirate Crew treatment

One important scope note: OP-17 also has a separate 4th Anniversary Pirate Crew treatment that is not part of the 11-card count above. Bandai's product page presents it as Pirate Crew Alt-Art and shows two specific prints: EB04-061_4thR for Monkey D. Luffy and OP17-118_4thR for Rocks D. Xebec. These 4th Anniversary variants are not the Super Leader Alt-Art or Super Alt-Art tier, and they sit outside the four Super Parallel Emperor cards, the one Super Leader treatment, and the six Haki SP cards covered here.

OP Collector's September 14 set snapshot lists the Japanese market rows for those two cards at ¥1,480,000 for Luffy and ¥498,000 for Xebec, compared with ¥148,000 for the Japanese OP17-079 Super Leader Parallel. Its English set table does not provide a stable quote for the EB04-061 4th Anniversary print. Limitless's October 2 OP17-118 page shows a manga/super alternate-art row near $6,100, but it does not expose a clean separate English quote for OP17-118_4thR. Keep that distinction clear instead of treating one variant's price as the other's.

Bandai's OP-17 product page does not publish a pull rate for any of these treatments. I've been tracking OP-16 pull rates since June and this is already a bigger, stranger spread than that set shipped with at launch.

Why It Matters

The three treatment families covered here spread across eleven confirmed cards, already a wider focused chase group than OP-16's three Admiral Manga Rares. OP-17's full premium lineup is broader still because the official page also shows two 4th Anniversary Pirate Crew Alt-Art cards. That broader structure changed how collectors think about box math after the August 28 EN wide release.

That spread cuts both ways. More chase slots means more copies circulating across cases, which historically softens per-card scarcity compared to a single concentrated hit. It also means more entry points: a collector chasing one specific character now has up to three different rarity tiers where that character might show up, not one. Current tracked prices are uneven: the Luffy Super Leader Parallel leads the three families covered here, while the four Emperor Super Parallels also remain four-figure English cards.

Limitless's October 2 English snapshot puts the four Super Parallel cards at $808.82 to $1,502.19. The Luffy Super Leader Parallel is listed at $1,736.68, above those four prints but not a substitute for a full-set ranking because the 4th Anniversary Pirate Crew variants have separate and thinner market data. The full chase-card ranking has the broader breakdown with sourced prices for every tier. For context on how OP-16's equivalent tier settled, the OP-16 Admiral Manga Rare guide tracks where those three cards landed after the initial hype cooled.

The Treasure Rare is a separate treatment from the three covered above. OP-17's English Treasure Rare is Edward Newgate OP17-040OP17-040Shop on TCGplayer (Whitebeard), card OP17-040, a Blue 6-cost, 8000-power Character with an On Play effect that draws 1 card plus a Once Per Turn effect that boosts a Rocks Pirates-type Leader's power in battle. Limitless's October 2 snapshot lists the tracked Treasure Rare entry at $52.03, far below the three tracked treatment families. The OP-17 Treasure Rare reveal covers the full stat details on that specific card.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Super Parallel in OP-17? A premium OP-17 treatment applied to four featured Emperor characters: Shanks (OP17-022), Edward Newgate/Whitebeard (OP17-005), Kaido (OP17-062), and Charlotte Linlin/Big Mom (OP17-112). Bandai's English product page calls it Super Alt-Art, while current trackers use Super Parallel and collectors often say Manga Rare.

Is Super Parallel the same as Manga Rare? Not exactly. Bandai's English product page calls the four-card treatment Super Alt-Art. Super Parallel and Manga Rare are tracker and collector labels that stuck because the cards use manga panel art rather than standard game illustrations, echoing OP-16's Admiral Manga Rares.

What is Super Leader Parallel? A premium Leader treatment. Bandai's English product page calls it Super Leader Alt-Art, while collectors and price trackers commonly use Super Leader Parallel. The confirmed example is Monkey D. Luffy (OP17-079), the first such treatment shown by Bandai for the game.

What is the Conqueror's Haki Special rarity? A third OP-17 treatment family, called Color of the Supreme King OP17-064OP17-064Shop on TCGplayer Haki SP on Bandai's English product page, applied to six characters: Roronoa Zoro, Kozuki Oden, Monkey D. Garp, Gol D. Roger, Yamato, and Silvers Rayleigh. The art uses black-and-white ink illustration with a crimson lightning effect.

Which OP-17 premium rarity is worth the most? Among the three families covered here, the Super Leader Parallel Luffy (OP17-079) was highest in Limitless's October 2 English snapshot at $1,736.68. The separate 4th Anniversary Pirate Crew Alt-Art prints sit outside that comparison and can be more expensive in Japanese-market data.

How much are OP-17 Super Parallel cards worth? Limitless's October 2 snapshot lists the four English Super Parallel Emperor prints from $808.82 to $1,502.19. Values move quickly after release, so treat that as a dated range rather than a fixed price.

How does this compare to OP-16's Manga Rares? OP-16 had three Admiral Manga Rares (Akainu, Kizaru, Aokiji). OP-17 has four Super Parallel Emperor prints, one Super Leader Alt-Art example, six Color of the Supreme King Haki SP cards, two 4th Anniversary Pirate Crew Alt-Art cards, and a Treasure Rare. The 11-card count in this guide covers only the first three families.
