The Ultimate One Piece 25th Anniversary Card List: Every EB-02 Anime Collection Card Revealed
The One Piece Card Game (OPCG) community is buzzing with anticipation this December 2025 as details emerge about the most significant commemorative set to date: the Extra Booster -Anime 25th Collection- [EB-02]. This highly-anticipated release is not just another expansion; it is a direct celebration of a quarter-century of the legendary *One Piece* anime, promising a collection of cards that are visually stunning, historically significant, and competitively powerful. Fans and collectors alike are scrambling to secure pre-orders for this set, which promises to encapsulate the most iconic moments and beloved characters from the entire 25-year history of the animated series. The excitement is palpable, especially with the Japanese release confirmed for early 2025.
The EB-02 set is designed to be a love letter to the anime, featuring 87 unique card types with illustrations exclusively drawn by the very artists who brought the Straw Hat Pirates' journey to life on screen. Unlike standard booster packs that mix manga and anime styles, this collection is a pure tribute to the animation, making it a truly unique and nostalgic addition to any collection. The focus on new, anime-exclusive artwork makes this set a standalone masterpiece that transcends the typical card game release, turning each card into a piece of animation history.
The Complete EB-02 Anime 25th Collection Card List Breakdown
The core of the "One Piece 25th Anniversary Card List" is the Extra Booster -Anime 25th Collection- [EB-02]. This set is structured to offer a balanced mix of playable cards and highly collectible rarities, ensuring both competitive players and dedicated collectors have something to chase. The set’s composition is a crucial detail for anyone looking to calculate pull rates or identify their must-have singles.
The total card count for the base set is 87 unique types, not including the plethora of stunning alternate art and parallel foil versions. The official breakdown is as follows:
- Leader (L): 1 Type
- Common (C): 29 Types
- Rare (R): 21 Types
- Super Rare (SR): 9 Types
- Secret Rare (SEC): 1 Type
- Special Cards (SP/Alternate Art): 26 Types
The inclusion of 26 Special Cards is a massive draw, representing a staggering number of potential high-value hits per box. These Special Cards often feature full-art, textured foil, or unique parallel designs, turning fan-favorite characters into breathtaking collectibles. The single Secret Rare card is the ultimate chase, often depicting a legendary character or a pivotal moment in the anime's history with an ultra-premium finish.
The Rarest Cards: Secret Rares and Iconic Alternate Arts
The true heart of any commemorative set lies in its rarest pulls. For the EB-02 Anime 25th Collection, the focus is squarely on celebrating the anime's most iconic moments and characters through stunning visual storytelling. While the full, official card list is still being drip-fed to the public, the high-value cards are already generating record-breaking pre-sale prices.
The Single Secret Rare (SEC)
In a set of this magnitude, the single Secret Rare card is expected to be a monumental piece. Historically, Secret Rares in the OPCG feature figures like Shanks, Yamato, or Gear 5 Luffy, often with unique manga-style or highly stylized artwork. Given the anime-centric theme of EB-02, the Secret Rare is highly likely to depict a pivotal, emotionally charged scene from the anime, perhaps a legendary clash from the Wano Country Arc or a key moment from the earlier East Blue Saga, rendered in a breathtaking full-art style. Its value is projected to be astronomical upon release, making it the definitive chase card of the set.
The Special (SP) Alternate Art Cards
The 26 Special Cards are where the anime artists truly shine. These cards elevate the collecting experience, featuring characters like Monkey D. Luffy, Roronoa Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, Tony Tony Chopper, Nico Robin, Franky, and Brook. Based on early leaks and pre-release information, one of the most talked-about cards is an Alternate Art version of Monkey.D.Luffy [EB02-010]. This card, depicting a key moment of Luffy's resolve or a powerful transformation, has already been listed with high collector values, underscoring the demand for cards that capture the anime's most memorable scenes.
Other expected entities to receive stunning Alternate Art treatment, based on the anime’s 25-year history, include major antagonists and allies such as:
- Trafalgar Law (from the Dressrosa and Wano Arcs)
- Eustass Kid (a key member of the Worst Generation)
- Boa Hancock (The Pirate Empress)
- Donquixote Doflamingo (The Heavenly Demon)
- Gol D. Roger (The King of the Pirates)
- Silvers Rayleigh (The Dark King)
- Iconic Event Cards like "And That's When Somebody Makes Fun of Their Friend's Dream!!!!" (referencing the Drum Island Saga)
Why the EB-02 Anime 25th Collection is a Must-Have
Beyond the hype and the chase for the Secret Rare, the EB-02 set holds immense value for several reasons, establishing its strong topical authority within the One Piece Card Game ecosystem. The set's focus on the anime’s quarter-century milestone makes it a unique investment and a foundational piece for any serious collector.
Unprecedented Anime Artist Collaboration
The commitment to featuring all-new illustrations drawn exclusively by the anime production team is a first for a major booster release. This means the artwork captures the exact aesthetic and energy of the animated episodes, offering a distinct visual style compared to the standard TCG releases which often draw heavily from the manga. This unique artistic direction ensures the cards stand out and carry a deep sentimental value for fans of the show.
Historical Significance and Investment Potential
As a 25th Anniversary product, the EB-02 Extra Booster is inherently a limited-run commemorative item. Products tied to major anniversaries, such as the older Premium Card Collection -25th Edition (released in 2022/2023), consistently hold and increase their value over time due to their historical significance and scarcity. The EB-02 is the definitive booster set for this milestone, ensuring its long-term investment potential for sealed product and high-rarity singles.
Key Characters and Sagas Featured
The set is confirmed to span the entire history of the anime, meaning the card list will feature entities from every major saga, including:
- The East Blue Saga (featuring early encounters with Buggy the Clown and Arlong)
- The Alabasta Saga (Vivi and Crocodile)
- The Skypiea Saga (Enel)
- The Water 7/Enies Lobby Saga (CP9 and Sogeking)
- The Marineford Saga (Whitebeard, Ace, and the Three Admirals)
- The Dressrosa Saga (Fujitora)
- The Whole Cake Island Saga (Big Mom and Katakuri)
- The Wano Country Arc (Kaido and Kozuki Oden)
This wide-ranging inclusion ensures that every fan's favorite moment, from the smallest character like Karoo to the most powerful figures like the Yonko, has a chance to be immortalized with a stunning new piece of anime-exclusive art. The set successfully answers the curiosity of collectors by providing a definitive, high-quality tribute to the anime's legacy.
