EB05 Pull Rates & Box Opening — One Piece Heroines Edition Vol.2 (2026)

What Is EB05 — One Piece Heroines Edition Vol.2?

EB05 is the One Piece Card Game’s fifth Extra Booster and the direct sequel to EB03, the first Heroines Edition. Like its predecessor it is built entirely around the female characters of the One Piece world, with no arc or theme tying them together — a deliberate pin-up/fashion-shoot concept rather than a storytelling set. It releases on 30 October 2026.

The headline change versus EB03 is the release schedule. EB03’s Japanese print landed in late October 2025 and the English print followed four months later, on 20 February 2026. EB05 launches in both languages on the same day, so there is no Japan-first window to front-run this time — which also means Japanese and English prices will form in parallel rather than one anchoring the other.

EB05 arrives in an awkward slot: it is the first set after OP17, the 4th anniversary release, and anniversary hangovers have historically flattened the set that follows. Set against that, EB03 has aged extremely well as a product — its English sealed box still trades above $300 eight months after release, and three of its SPs are still above $1,000.

EB05 set highlights

• Set code: EB05 · Release: 30 October 2026 (English and Japanese, simultaneous)
• Card count: 61 cards in the regular numbering — 29 Commons, 21 Rares, 9 Super Rares, 1 Leader, 1 Secret Rare
• The one new leader: a green/yellow Nico Robin built around the wisdom attribute — she heals when your wisdom characters are KO’d and can set a wisdom character active again
• New top rarity: Robin also gets a Super Leader alternate art, the rarity introduced with OP17 — she is only the second character ever to receive one, after Luffy
• Secret Rare: Nami (EB05-061), in base and alternate-art versions — a 3-cost 4,000 with a 2,000 counter and removal protection
• Manga Rare: Shirahoshi, her first ever — a surprising pick given she placed 70th in the most recent character popularity poll
• Heroines SPs: two anime-style Nico Robin and Nami cards drawn in the art style of the 2025 One Piece Heroines anime — magazine covers more than trading cards
• Magazine SPs: six special arts with massive silver-foil typography framing each character, Vogue-cover style
• Guest mangaka: Kentaro Yabuki (To Love-Ru) illustrated a Nami alternate art, which comes in two versions
• Alt-art leaders: six leaders reprinted from past sets — Vivi, Nami, Shirahoshi, Boa Hancock, Rebecca and Jewelry Bonney — redrawn in the same style as the new Robin leader
• DON!!: an alternate-art DON!! showing a Japanese maid cafe, with Nami drawing the DON!! sound effect in ketchup over an omurice — plus a Gold version

Note on the alt-art leaders: early product catalogues list these as reprints of their original card numbers (EB03-001 Vivi, OP01-016 and OP11-041 Nami, OP11-022 Shirahoshi, OP14-041 and ST17-004 Boa Hancock), so the exact six may shift as the full list is confirmed. A Jewelry Bonney alt-art leader was pulled in our sample.

Box Contents & Pack Structure

• Booster Box — 24 packs per box
• Booster Pack — 12 cards per pack
• Sleeved Booster Pack — sold alongside the standard pack

In every pack we mapped card by card, the 12 cards ran as a block of Commons, then two to three Rares, with the final card being the one that could upgrade — an SR, an alternate art, an SP, the Secret Rare, or a DON!! card. If the last card of an EB05 pack is an ordinary Rare, the pack is done; there is no second hit slot hiding at the back.

The structural point that matters most for EB05 is the size of the SR pool. There are only nine Super Rares in the entire set:

Nine SRs and roughly six per box means duplicates are near-certain within a single box and a second box is very likely to finish the set of names. That is the opposite of a full OP-numbered set, where the SR pool is large enough that a box never threatens completion.

EB05 Pull Rate Data — 48 Packs

Bandai does not publish official hit rates for the One Piece Card Game. The table below is aggregated from community openings totalling 48 packs — two full 24-pack booster boxes, opened at release. One of the two boxes was opened pack by pack with every card named, so the per-pack figures below come from that mapped box (24 packs); the per-box figures use both.

This is early, release-window data. Two boxes is enough to establish the shape of an EB05 box — and enough to show which tiers never showed up — but not enough to put a rate on the rarest tiers. We say so in the table rather than inventing a number.

Notable Pulls Across the Two Boxes

Named hits, box by box — including the duplicates, because the duplicates are the story:

Box A (24 packs) — 8 hits

• Nico Robin in the anime Heroines style (EB05-016) — described as “Robin but from a different paradox”; the premium art tier
• Miss Buckingham Stussy (EB05-006) — a heavily textured premium print, the box’s best-looking card
• Jewelry Bonney alt-art leader — no star marking, which fooled the opener into checking twice whether it was a standard leader
• Jewelry Bonney SR (EB05-001), Alvida SR (EB05-021), Yamato SR (EB05-046), Gloriosa SR (EB05-052), Nami SR (EB05-055)
• The alternate-art DON!! — the maid-cafe illustration, pulled early

Box B (24 packs, mapped pack by pack) — 9 hits

• Nami Secret Rare, alternate art (EB05-061) — in pack one, and the best card either box produced. The openers spent the next 23 packs noting that nothing beat it
• Nami alternate art (EB05-055) — the box’s second Nami premium, prompting the complaint that they had been given “the Nami box” rather than the Robin box they wanted
• Miss Buckingham Stussy (EB05-006) — second-to-last pack, “the foiling is insane”
• Nico Robin SR (EB05-016), Sugar SR (EB05-034), Yamato SR (EB05-046), Gloriosa SR (EB05-052), Alvida SR (EB05-021), Nami SR (EB05-055)
• 2 DON!! cards — both standard finish. The openers specifically checked for and did not get the Gold version

Key Findings

• 8–9 hits per box, and the floor is high. Unlike OP17, where a box can deliver a single lonely alt art, both EB05 boxes landed in a narrow 8–9 band. The hit count is predictable; the hit quality is not.
• The 9-card SR pool is the defining feature. Across just two boxes, 8 of the 9 SR names appeared — only Shirahoshi (EB05-014) was missing. Four SRs (Yamato, Gloriosa, Alvida and Nami EB05-055) appeared in both boxes.
• 54% of packs are dry. 13 of 24 mapped packs contained nothing above Rare. Another 2 held only a DON!!. If you are buying loose packs, better than half of them end at the Rare tier.
• Nami ran hot, Robin ran cold. Box B produced three premium Namis and the openers counted zero Robin SRs for most of the box — an uncomfortable outcome for a set sold on a new Robin leader. With a nine-card SR pool, that kind of colour-skew within one box is normal, not a print problem.
• Three tiers went 0-for-48: the Manga Rare Shirahoshi, the Super Leader alt-art Robin, and the Gold DON!!. These are the cards the set will be remembered for and none of them is a per-box expectation.
• The Rare tier is unusually playable. Reviewers singled out a cluster of generic 2,000-counter Rares — Stussy, Camie, Rebecca, Sugar, Nojiko, Ripley — as likely format staples across almost every colour. For once, the cheap cards in an Extra Booster are the ones that matter competitively.
• Two vanilla cards and a Manga Rare miss. Reviewers were openly critical that an Extra Booster — a product whose purpose is supporting older archetypes — spent slots on effect-less vanillas (Pasia, Tashigi, Ulti, Bell-mère), and that the Manga went to Shirahoshi, who placed 70th in the latest popularity poll.

EB05 Rarity Breakdown

The Chase Cards in EB05

EB05 has no price history — it launches on 30 October 2026. Rather than print placeholder numbers, the right-hand column below gives the closest existing comparable: the equivalent card from EB03 (the first Heroines Edition, eight months old) or from OP17 where EB03 has no analogue. Prices are English-print, as of 28 October 2026.

Caveat on the Manga Rare. EB03’s Manga went to Uta — a top-tier fan favourite — and sits at $825. EB05’s goes to Shirahoshi, who ranked 70th in the most recent popularity poll. Do not assume $825 transfers. Equally, note that in EB03 the Manga Rare is not the set’s most valuable card — three SPs beat it. (Prices as of 28 October 2026 and they move fast around release; EB05 cards have no price history at all until after 30 October 2026.)

What EB03 Says EB05 Will Be Worth

EB03 is the only true comparable for EB05 — same line, same concept, same rarity architecture, eight months of price history. It is the best available guide to where EB05 value will concentrate, and the picture is stark: almost all of it sits in one thin tier.

PriceCharting ungraded prices, 28 October 2026. Every row shown carries at least 22 trailing sales; the Japanese sealed box row is the thinnest at 40, so treat that one as indicative.

Run an EB05 box against that ladder using our observed rates. A box gives you about 6 base SRs — EB03’s base SRs run $1 to $12 — plus 2–3 premium cards. If those premiums are alternate arts, EB03’s median alt art is $9.16. A box with no SP, no Manga and no Gold DON!! is therefore worth roughly $40–$60 of singles. Against EB03’s $312 sealed box, that means you are paying something like $250–$270 for the lottery ticket, and the ticket is the SP/Manga tier.

Which is also the sanity check on our own pull rates: for a $312 box to make commercial sense at a $558 average SP, the SP/Manga tier has to land roughly once every two boxes. That is the number to reason with — not the three-in-48 upper bound our two boxes happened to produce.

Japanese vs English — Which EB05 to Open?

Because EB05 launches in both languages on the same day, this is a live decision rather than an import-timing question, and EB03 gives a clean read on how the two prints diverge. In EB03, the Japanese sealed box is discounted far more deeply than Japanese singles are:

• Sealed box: Japanese is 0.37× the English price ($115 vs $312)
• SPs: Japanese runs 0.40×–0.77× English, median about 0.53× (Robin SP 0.40×, Hancock SP 0.50×, Nami SP 0.50×, Uta SP 0.77×)
• Manga Rare: Japanese Uta is 0.79× English
• Alternate arts: roughly at parity — several Japanese alt arts trade above their English counterparts (Carrot AA 1.65×, Hibari AA 1.15×)
• Gold DON!!: mixed, and the Japanese Heroines Special Gold actually trades higher ($175 vs $115)

The implication is specific: opening Japanese is the cheaper lottery ticket — a 63% discount on sealed against roughly a 47% discount on the premium cards it can contain. But buying a named card is also cheaper in Japanese, so this is not free money; it is the same bet at a smaller stake. The English premium is concentrated almost entirely in the SP tier — English alt arts and base cards carry no reliable premium at all.

Two caveats for EB05 specifically. First, EB03’s spread had four months of Japan-first trading plus eight months of settling to open up; a simultaneous launch may start much tighter. Second, if you are in Singapore or Southeast Asia and the plan is to sell later, the English print is the more liquid market — EB03’s English rows carry two to four times the trailing sales volume of their Japanese equivalents.

Should You Open EB05 or Buy Singles?

Open EB05 if…

• You want the SR playset — with only 9 SRs in the set and ~6 per box, two boxes got us 8 of the 9 names. No full OP set opens anywhere near this efficiently
• You are after the Rare-tier staples, which in this set are genuinely good: the Stussy, Camie, Rebecca, Sugar and Nojiko 2,000-counters appear in almost every pack tier and slot into decks across all six colours
• You want the maid-cafe DON!! — a guaranteed 2 per box, and the illustration everyone who opened this set talked about
• You collect the Heroines line and want the art for its own sake; this is a set where the artwork, not the gameplay, is the product
• You are opening the Japanese print, where the sealed discount (0.37×) is deeper than the singles discount (~0.53× on SPs)

Buy singles if…

• You want a specific card — the Super Leader Robin, either Heroines SP, the Manga Shirahoshi or the Nami SEC. None of these is a per-box expectation and three of them went 0-for-48 in our sample
• You want the competitive cards. EB05’s staples are Rares. They will be a few dollars each, and no sensible number of packs beats buying four copies
• You are buying loose packs — 54% of them end at the Rare tier
• You want the alt arts. If EB03 is the guide, the median alt art settles near $9. A box costs tens of times that

The numbers on chasing the Nico Robin SP

• EB05 has 8 SPs, a Manga Rare and the Super Leader Robin — call it 10 premium names in the top tier
• Working from EB03’s box price, that tier lands roughly once every two boxes. A specific name is therefore on the order of 1 in 20 boxes
• At the EB03 English box price of about $312, that is roughly $6,200 of sealed product for one named SP
• EB03’s Nico Robin SP — the exact analogue — costs $1,295 to simply buy. Chasing it through packs is about 5× worse
• And the consolation prizes do not cover the gap: 20 boxes of base SRs and alt arts at EB03 prices come to roughly $800–$1,200 against $6,200 spent
• Verdict: every named premium card in EB05 is cheaper bought than chased. There is no exception at the top of this set

The honest bottom line

EB05 is a better box to open than most Extra Boosters and a worse box to invest in than its sealed price will suggest. The nine-card SR pool makes it the rare set where opening genuinely completes something — two boxes gets you nearly every SR name, and the Rare tier is stuffed with 2,000-counters that will actually see play. But the money lives entirely in a tier that goes missing from most boxes: three premium tiers appeared zero times in our 48 packs, and if EB03 is the template, a box without an SP is worth about $40–$60 of singles. Open EB05 for the SR set, the staples and the maid-cafe DON!!. If you want the Super Leader Robin, the Heroines SPs or the Manga Shirahoshi, wait a fortnight for prices to settle and buy the card — and if you are opening rather than buying, open the Japanese print.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the EB05 (One Piece Heroines Edition Vol.2) release date?

EB05 releases on 30 October 2026. Unlike EB03 — where the Japanese print arrived in late October 2025 and the English print followed four months later on 20 February 2026 — the Japanese and English versions of EB05 launch on the same day, so there is no Japan-first head start this time. It is a 61-card Extra Booster sold in 24-pack booster boxes with 12 cards per pack.

How many hits are in an EB05 box?

Across 48 packs (two full 24-pack booster boxes) we logged 17 cards at SR or better — 8 hits in one box and 9 in the other, so roughly 8 to 9 per box. About 6 of those are plain base SRs; the remaining 2 to 3 are the premium tier (alternate art, SP, the Secret Rare, or an alt-art leader). Each box also contained 2 DON!! cards.

What are the EB05 pull rates per pack?

An SR or better appeared in 9 of the 24 packs we mapped card by card — 37.5% of packs, or roughly 1 in 2.7 (35.4% across the full 48-pack sample). A further 2 packs held a DON!! card as their hit slot, and 13 of 24 packs (54%) contained nothing above Rare and no DON!! either. These are early community figures from a 48-pack sample, not a measured long-run rate.

How many SR are in an EB05 box, and how many boxes complete the SR set?

About 6 base Super Rares per 24-pack box, drawn from a pool of only 9 SRs in the whole set — Jewelry Bonney, Miss Buckingham Stussy, Shirahoshi, Nico Robin, Alvida, Sugar, Yamato, Gloriosa and Nami. Because the pool is that small, two boxes produced 8 of the 9 names (only Shirahoshi was missing) and four SRs appeared in both boxes. If you want the SR playset rather than a specific chase, EB05 is unusually efficient to open.

Is the Super Leader alt-art Nico Robin worth chasing through packs?

No. It did not appear once in 48 packs, and the only existing comparable — the OP17 Monkey D. Luffy Super Alternate Art, the first card ever printed at this rarity — currently trades around $1,270 USD in English and $1,157 in Japanese. Chasing a single named premium card through EB05 sealed costs multiples of buying the single once prices settle after the 30 October 2026 launch.

What is the rarest and most valuable card in EB05?

Nothing has a price yet — EB05 only launches on 30 October 2026. The top of the ladder is the Super Leader alternate art Nico Robin (the second card ever at that rarity, after OP17 Luffy), the Manga Rare Shirahoshi, the two anime-style Heroines SPs of Nico Robin and Nami, and the Nami Secret Rare alternate art. For scale, EB03 is eight months old and its Nico Robin SP still trades at $1,295, its Boa Hancock SP at $1,249 and its Uta Manga Rare at $825.

How does EB05 compare to EB03, the first Heroines Edition?

EB05 keeps the EB03 formula — an all-female 61-card Extra Booster with a big SP tier — but adds the Super Leader alternate art introduced in OP17, a guest-mangaka Nami alt art by Kentaro Yabuki, six fashion-magazine SPs, and six alt-art leaders reprinted from past sets. EB03 is both the warning and the opportunity: its nine SPs average about $558 in English while its eighteen alternate arts have a median of just $9.16, so almost all of a box’s value sits in one thin tier. Its English sealed box still trades at $312 against $115 for the Japanese box.
