Union Arena InuYasha Card List: Characters and Super Rares

TL;DR: InuYasha's Union Arena set (UE23BT English, UA50BT Japanese) contains 92 card types: 80 base cards across Common, Uncommon, Rare, and Super Rare, plus 12 AP cards. The current official English card list contains 29 named character card names, led by Sesshomaru (6 cards) and Inuyasha (5 cards). The set released in English on August 14, 2026, so full English card text is now available. This page is a roster and rarity reference, not an invented list of prices or effects.

Updated October 5, 2026: The official UE23BT card entries confirm that Inuyasha's attack-draw text is once per turn and that Kikyo's relevant ability is Activate: Main, once per turn, only on the turn she was played.

Union Arena InuYasha card list: quick answer

29 named character card names appear across the set's 80 base cards in the official English card list. Early reveal coverage focused on Inuyasha, Kagome Higurashi, Kikyo, Sesshomaru, and Naraku, but those are not the only characters with published English text now that UE23BT has released. The roster below groups card names for reference and excludes Site, Event, and AP card types.

Why this list exists (and what happened last time)

This site published an InuYasha "complete card list" once before, and honestly, it was a mess. It invented a "Special Rare" rarity that doesn't exist in Union Arena, along with prices and power stats that were not sourced. That article got pulled. The current version uses the official product specifications and English card list. Where this page summarizes a card group, the linked official list remains the authority for the full effect text.

The 12 confirmed Super Rares

The official English card list now confirms 12 Super Rare card types in UE23BT. The complete SR index is:

• Sesshomaru (UE23BT/IYS-1-009)
• Rin (UE23BT/IYS-1-013)
• Kagura (UE23BT/IYS-1-019)
• Kanna (UE23BT/IYS-1-022)
• Naraku (UE23BT/IYS-1-028)
• Inuyasha (UE23BT/IYS-1-046)
• Kikyo (UE23BT/IYS-1-049)
• Koga (UE23BT/IYS-1-054)
• Sango (UE23BT/IYS-1-059)
• Shippo (UE23BT/IYS-1-061)
• Kagome Higurashi (UE23BT/IYS-1-066)
• Miroku (UE23BT/IYS-1-071)

The five cards that received early reveal coverage, and the deck-building logic already covered in this site's tier-list breakdown, are:

Inuyasha (Red): once per turn, draws a card when his attack is not blocked, and can gain Double Attack under the right conditions.

Kagome Higurashi (Red): plays a cheap Inuyasha or Kagome card from hand on entry, then can rest an active Inuyasha to make herself harder to block and pump a teammate's power.

Kikyo (Red): can rest an Inuyasha on the turn she's played to either pump herself or force an opponent's character to rest, denying a block.

Sesshomaru (Purple): the highest-cost confirmed character at 6 energy, rewards playing characters from your sideline for a power and Impact bonus.

Naraku (Purple): built around resilience, stacking cards beneath him to survive removal and eventually recur a piece from your sideline.

Kikyo's confirmed Super Rare print: cost 3, 3000+ BP, Impact Nullify, with an Activate: Main ability usable once per turn on the turn she was played; it rests an Inuyasha to either pump herself or lock down an opponent's character.

Named weapons and Event cards

Beyond characters, the set includes Event cards built around iconic InuYasha items and moves. Confirmed titles in the official English card list include Tetsusaiga (UE23BT/IYS-1-079, Inuyasha's sword), Tenseiga (UE23BT/IYS-1-036), Bakusaiga (UE23BT/IYS-1-037), and Hiraikotsu (UE23BT/IYS-1-080, Sango's boomerang). The official list now provides the English effects for these and the other Event cards, so use it instead of relying on preview-era translations.

Rarity breakdown

Union Arena's official product page confirms the following split for the 80 base cards, plus the AP tier on top:

This is the same breakdown already confirmed by the official product page and the site's InuYasha tier-list article. There is no "Special Rare" tier. The product page lists an MSRP of $4.99 per booster pack, while individual secondary-market prices can change; use a live marketplace for current singles rather than a preview-era price claim.

Step-by-Step: How to Use This List

1. Confirm before you build around a character. Use the official English card list to verify the card number, name, type, and current effect. This page is a compact character index, not a replacement for the official database.

2. Don't assume a card's rarity from its character. Sesshomaru having the most cards (6) does not tell you how many are Super Rare versus Common. Check each card number in the English card list; the current database publishes the individual rarity letters.

3. Use the tier-list article for actual deck logic. This page is a roster reference. The tier-list breakdown linked above covers the five early reveal Super Rares and their roles in a deck.

4. Recheck the official card list for exact text and legality. Full English text is now available for UE23BT, but card effects, terminology, and product notes should still be read from the current database. Secondary-market prices can move quickly, unlike the fixed rarity counts in this article; compare live listings in our Union Arena worth collecting price check.

Tips

Don't trust a preview-era "complete guide" without checking it against the official English list. BP, energy cost, type, effect, and rarity are now public for UE23BT, but old articles can still carry guesses or outdated translations.

Kohaku and Kikyo have complicated in-story loyalties, and that ambiguity can carry into card design. Kohaku is listed under Naraku's faction here because of his manipulated role in the source material, but check his current official card entry instead of assuming his effect or color from the story.

The 29-name count is a current base-card index. The English set has released and the official card list is populated. Parallel and AP versions can add card results without adding new character names, so keep the card-type total and character-name total separate.
