King of the Island of Exotic Animals CH081 price spike explained

If you have been monitoring the One Piece Card Game secondary market over the last 24 hours, you likely noticed a massive, astronomical anomaly. The market data for May 25, 2026, shows a level of volatility that is rarely seen even in the most speculative trading environments. While most cards are moving in standard percentage ranges, one specific card has effectively broken the charts.

In this report, we will break down the massive surge of the King of the Shell/Exotic Animals card, the steady climb of high-end promos, and the catastrophic price collapses currently hitting several Japanese anniversary and booster era cards.

Why did King of the Island of Exotic Animals CH081 price increase by 2778%?

The most staggering movement in the entire market is King of the Island of Exotic Animals CH081 from the One Piece Passage to the Grand Line set. In a single day, the price for an ungraded copy skyrocketed from $0.99 to $28.50. This represents a staggering 2778.79% increase.

When a card moves from under a dollar to nearly thirty dollars in twenty-four hours, it usually indicates a massive supply shock or a sudden influx of high-demand buy orders that have cleared the existing low-end listings. For buyers, this is a signal that the "bulk" era for this specific card has ended; the era of the "collector's item" has begun. At $28.50, the card has moved from a negligible expense to a significant investment piece.While not as mathematically extreme as the King of the Island, the DON!! Card [Red moving to Red Bull Double Don] (One Piece Promo) is showing a very strong, sustained upward trend. The price jumped from $135.25 to $174.98, a 29.38% increase.

What makes this move interesting is the premium seen in graded slabs. While the ungraded (raw) price is $174.98, the PSA 10 version is commanding a massive $375, and a BGS 10 is sitting at $488. This indicates that the price movement is being driven by high-end collectors seeking pristine copies. The "gap" between the raw price and the PSA 10 price is quite wide, suggesting that while the raw market is heating up, the real value is being locked away in high-grade gems.

Monkey.D.Luffy [Offline Regionals Winner] P-001 price trend analysis

The Monkey.D.Luffy [Offline Regionals Winner] P-001 (One Piece Promo) is demonstrating a classic "recovery" pattern. Looking at the 30-day history, we see that on May 16, 2026, the price had dipped significantly to $92.49 (a 97.54% drop from its previous highs). However, in the last seven days, we have seen a reversal.

The price has climbed from that $92.49 low to $115, representing a 24.34% increase in the last week. For traders, this suggests the bottom has likely been found. The graded market for this card is incredibly stratified: while an ungraded copy is $115, a PSA 10 reaches a staggering $910, and a BGS 10 hits $1183. The massive spread between the ungraded price and the BGS 10 price shows that the "premium" for perfect condition on this specific promo is one of the highest in the current market.

Are 2nd Anniversary Roronoa Zoro and Portgas.D.Ace still rising?

Two major pillars of the 2nd Anniversary era are seeing simultaneous upward momentum.

First, Roronoa Zoro [2GM] OP06-118 (One Piece Japanese Wings of the Captain) has moved from $67.81 to $87.76, a 29.42% increase. This follows a period of stagnation earlier in the month (it was $57.75 on May 1st), indicating a fresh wave of-demand. The graded market remains very healthy, with PSA 10 copies priced at $278.99.

Similarly, Portgas.D.Ace [2nd Anniversary] OP02-013 (One Piece Japanese Paramount War) has seen a jump from $76.92 to $94.97, a 23.47% increase. This move is part of a continuous climb, as the price was already up to $76.92 on May 22nd. The grading spread here is also notable: a PSA 10 is worth $263.55, which is nearly triple the price of a raw copy.

What caused the Boa Hancock OP07-038 and Kouzuki Oden EB01-001 price crash?

The most alarming news for holders of certain Japanese era cards is the massive "dump" occurring in the market.

Boa Hancock OP07-03xy (One Piece Japanese 500 Years in the Future) has suffered a catastrophic loss. Just five days ago, on May 20, the price was up significantly at $48.18. Today, it has crashed to $1.65, a staggering 96.58% decrease. This is a classic "pump and dump" profile, where a sudden spike in interest is followed by a total collapse in liquidity. Interestingly, the graded market still holds much higher valuations, with PSA 10 at $246.75, suggesting the crash is strictly affecting the supply of raw, ungraded cards.

We see an almost identical pattern with Kouzuki Oden EB01-001 (One Piece Japanese Extra Booster Memorial Collection). On May 15, the card was trading at a massive premium of $47.03. Today, it has plummeted to $2, a 95.75% loss.

Why are Portgas.D.Ace ST13 and Ace Treasure Campaign prices falling?

The decline isn't limited to the older booster sets; we are seeing significant movement in more recent products as well.

Portgas.D.Ace ST13-011 (One Piece Japanese Ultra Deck: The Three Brothers) has dropped from $37 to $2, a 94.59% decline. This type of movement usually indicates that the supply of these cards has suddenly flooded the market, making the "bulk" price negligible.

Furthermore, the But Ace Here Said You Deserved It!! [3rd Anniversary Treasure Campaign] OP13-019 (One Piece Japanese Carrying on His Will) has seen its recent gains evaporated. After a nearly 98% surge on May 19, the price has corrected downward from $23.48 to $3.33, a loss of roughly 86%.

Summary of Market Volatility

The current market is showing extreme divergence. While high-end collectors are driving up the prices of established staples like Roronoa Zoro and Luffy variants, the "mid-tier" cards—specifically those from the 5000GT and Memorial Collection eras—are experiencing massive sell-offs.

If you are holding cards like Boa Hancock or Ace from recent sets, the volatility is currently working against you. However, for those looking at the "blue chip" items like the Red/Green/Blue era staples, the upward momentum remains intact.
