OP-18 Chase Cards: The Dominance of God Manga Rare & Amano Art

Updated: October 29, 2026

OP-18 The Dominance of God reaches English stores on November 20, and it's the One Piece Card Game's fourth-anniversary set. This guide sorts the OP-18 chase cards into what Bandai has confirmed and what is only reported, explains the parallel treatments everyone is talking about, and works out what a pack really costs at presale prices. We'll re-check every card and price after release.

OP-18 chase cards at a glance

Bandai's own pages don't list rarities or parallels yet, so most of this table comes from the reveal at ONE PIECE DAY '26 and from card lists compiled by collectors. The Status column tells you how solid each line is.

Sources: inside-games, Aug 24, 2026; Samurai Sword Tokyo, Oct 8, 2026; TCGplayer presale listings, checked Oct 29, 2026. Everything marked "reported" is expected, not final, until Bandai publishes the OP-18 card list.

What's in The Dominance of God?

OP-18 is a regular booster set built around Water Seven and the Holy Knights of God, with 127+1 card types in total. That much is on Bandai's English product page, which also says Saint Gunko and Saint Shamrock make their card game debut here. Bandai doesn't explain the "+1" yet.

A few more things the official pages confirm:

• Price: the English pack MSRP is $4.99 (retail). The Japanese pack is ¥240 including tax (retail, about $1.52 at ¥158/$, ExchangeRate-API, Oct 28, 2026).
• Pack size: a Japanese pack holds 6 cards (Bandai Japan). Bandai's English page doesn't give a count; retailer listings show 24 packs of 12 cards per English box and 12 boxes per case (NerdSnack, Oct 25, 2026), the usual English configuration.
• Duplicates happen: Bandai warns that a pack can contain more than one copy of the same card, so a full set from packs alone is hard work.
• Same-day products: the Double Pack Set Vol. 13 (DP-13) and the Gift Collection ONE PIECE Heroines also release on November 20 (Bandai product list).

The Leaders listed on TCGplayer so far are Karoo (OP18-001), Franky (OP18-021, his first Leader card), Monkey.D.Luffy (OP18-022), Ms. All Sunday (OP18-041) and Saint Gunko (OP18-060). Treat that list as provisional until release day.

The chase cards, one by one

Saint Shamrock and Loki by Yoshitaka Amano

The biggest story in OP-18 is a guest artist. Yoshitaka Amano, best known for his Final Fantasy art, drew new parallel cards of Loki and Saint Shamrock for this set. The cards were shown at ONE PIECE DAY '26 at Makuhari Messe on August 22–23 (GameTrader, Aug 28, 2026), and Japanese games outlet inside-games reported the Amano parallels the next day.

What's still only reported:

• Foil versions. Several sources say each Amano card also comes in a foil-stamped parallel, which would make four Amano cards to chase rather than two (Samurai Sword Tokyo).
• Card numbers. Saint Shamrock is reported as OP18-119, a Secret Rare. Loki's number is unclear: one Japanese card list shows the Amano Loki under OP17-119, the number of his Secret Rare from OP-17, rather than a new OP-18 number.

Amano's painterly style looks nothing like the rest of the card pool, which is a big part of the appeal. If you only collect one card from this set for the art, this is the one most collectors are talking about.

Saint Gunko, God's Knights Super Parallel

For the fourth anniversary, Bandai created a new top-tier treatment, the God's Knights Super Parallel, and gave it to Saint Gunko (inside-games). Japanese card trackers describe its background as showing the Holy Knights of God, and list it as a version of Gunko's Super Rare, OP18-065.

A brand-new rarity makes it hard to guess how often it turns up. Until people have opened a lot of English cases, treat it as one of the rarest pulls in the set.

Nico Robin Manga Rare (OP18-031)

A Manga Rare is the community's name for a parallel card drawn in black-and-white manga panels, the One Piece Card Game's rarest regular treatment in recent sets. OP-18's is Nico Robin, from her "I want to live" moment in the Enies Lobby arc, and TCGplayer already lists it as "Nico Robin (Manga)" (TCGplayer, checked Oct 29, 2026). It's widely reported as Robin's first card in this style.

The base version is a green Super Rare, so if you just want Robin in your deck, the regular SR is a much easier pull.

Leader parallels and the rest

Leader parallels are alternate-art versions of Leader cards. They're reported for Franky (OP18-021) and Saint Gunko (OP18-060). Below them sit the Super Rares, with reported pulls including Nefeltari Vivi, Iceburg, Kalifa and Rob Lucci, which give Water Seven fans plenty to collect without chasing the top tier.

OP-18 rarities, explained

One Piece cards print a rarity code at the bottom: C (Common), UC (Uncommon), R (Rare), SR (Super Rare), SEC (Secret Rare) and L (Leader), with TR (Treasure Rare) on a few special cards (Bandai card list). A parallel isn't a separate rarity code: it's an alternate-art version of a card that keeps the same number and code, so a Manga Rare Robin still says SR.

That's why the chase list above names treatments rather than rarities. For collectors coming from Pokémon, a parallel works a bit like an Illustration Rare, and the Manga and Amano cards sit where Special Illustration Rares do: the full-art cards a set is remembered for. Our Pokémon rarity guide covers that side if you collect both. A full One Piece rarity explainer is on our list for early 2027.

OP-18 pull rates: what to expect

Nobody knows yet. Bandai doesn't publish pull rates for the One Piece Card Game, and the set isn't out, so there's no measured English sample to point to. Any specific number you see before late November is an estimate carried over from earlier sets.

What we can say:

• Top-tier parallels are case-level pulls. In collectors' case openings of recent sets, Manga Rares and similar treatments have turned up far less often than once per box, so most boxes won't have one.
• New rarities add uncertainty. The God's Knights Super Parallel and the foil Amano versions have no track record at all.
• Duplicates count against you. Bandai's own warning about repeat cards in a pack means a booster box isn't a reliable route to a full set.

We'll add measured rates here once a large English sample is published.

Release dates: English vs Japanese

OP-18 releases in English on November 20, 2026 (Bandai) and in Japanese on November 21, 2026 as 神の支配 (Kami no Shihai), the same set under its Japanese title (Bandai Japan). Cards become tournament legal seven days after release in each region, so November 27 for English play, and from the prerelease at your local store.

That one-day gap matters. In the game's early years, English sets followed Japan by months, so collectors could watch Japanese prices first. With OP-18, both languages start from scratch the same weekend. Japanese packs are cheaper per pack but hold half the cards, and English and Japanese copies of the same card usually sell at different prices, so pick the language you want to own.

OP-18 presale prices and cost per pack

Presale prices are well above MSRP. On October 29, 2026, TCGplayer's presale Market Price for an English booster box was $349.97, and a 12-box case was $4,263.31 (TCGplayer).

All English prices are for sealed English product. Cost per pack is our own division and assumes 24 packs per box, the retailer-listed configuration. The presale single-pack price rests on very few sales and can swing a lot.

A box at MSRP would be 24 × $4.99 = $119.76, but Bandai doesn't sell boxes at a listed price and stores set their own. For comparison, OP-17 boxes on TCGplayer were trading well above MSRP before release too, then eased afterward (NerdSnack, Oct 25, 2026). If your local game store is taking preorders near MSRP, that is a very different deal from the online presale price.

Open packs or buy singles?

Start with what you want at the end.

• You want the fun of opening. Buy from a local store near MSRP if you can, set a budget, and treat any parallel as a bonus. Paying presale prices for packs means paying for the excitement, not for the cards.
• You want one chase card. Buy the single. A Manga Rare or an Amano parallel can take cases to find, and you might still miss.
• You want to play the set. Singles for your Leader and its key cards are usually cheaper than boxes, especially in the first weeks.
