The story so far
OP-18 The Dominance of God
4 steps so far · Updated
OP-18 has been a slow reveal. Bandai gave the English date (November 20) and Franky's first Leader card early; most of what has circulated since, from the other Leaders to the chase cards, is tracker reports rather than Bandai's own checklist. Each step below links our coverage, and we keep the confirmed and the reported apart until the set is out.
