EB-05 Heroines Vol.2: The First Nine Cards
Bandai revealed a new Nico Robin Leader, seven alternate-art Leaders and two anime-style SP cards for Extra Booster Heroines Edition vol.2. What is confirmed, and what still is not.
On 23 August 2026 Bandai revealed the first nine cards from EB-05 Extra Booster Heroines Edition vol.2 in a promotional video: a new Nico Robin Leader, seven alternate-art Leaders in a design the game has not used before, and two SP cards drawn in the style of the ONE PIECE HEROINES anime. Seven of the nine are not EB-05 cards at all — they are new illustrations of Leaders from OP-11, OP-13, OP-14, OP-15 and EB-03. The set releases 30 October 2026.
Nine cards, and no announcement to go with them
Bandai showed these cards in a promotional video and then published nothing else. There is no news article, no card-list entry, and the EB-05 product pages on the English, Japanese, Asia-English and French sites all still serve the grey no-image placeholder where the pack shot belongs. If you only read the official site, EB-05 is still a name and a date.
The reveal is easy to confirm anyway: TCGplayer created presale listings for exactly the three EB-05-numbered cards from the video the following day, and the same announcement named Franky as a Leader for OP-18 — which is the OP-18 product that appeared on TCGplayer on 24 August too.
Nico Robin returns as a Leader — with a new card
EB-05's structure allows one Leader, and it is Nico Robin, EB05-010. She has led before — OP09-062 out of Emperors in the New World — so this is a return rather than a debut, but the card itself is new: new number, new attribute, new text.
5000 power, <Wisdom>, 4 Life, Straw Hat Crew. Two effects, both once per turn. When one of your <Wisdom> Characters without [Blocker] is K.O.'d, you add the top card of your deck to the top of your Life cards. And in main phase, you set a <Wisdom> Character of 6000 power or less as active. A Leader that converts losses into Life and re-uses its own board.
Seven alternate-art Leaders in a frame the game has not used before
This is the half that will drive the set. EB-05 carries alternate illustrations of seven existing Leaders in a treatment that is new to One Piece: a translucent white frame, floral motifs, and the character breaking out past the border. The rules box floats over the art rather than sitting in a panel beneath it.
| Leader | Serial | Home set | Attribute | Life |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nico Robin | EB05-010 | EB-05 | Wisdom | 4 |
| Nefeltari Vivi | EB03-001 | EB-03 | Slash | 4 |
| Nami | OP11-041 | OP-11 | Special | 4 |
| Shirahoshi | OP11-022 | OP-11 | Wisdom | 5 |
| Jewelry Bonney | OP13-100 | OP-13 | Special | 5 |
| Boa Hancock | OP14-041 | OP-14 | Special | 4 |
| Rebecca | OP15-039 | OP-15 | Wisdom | 5 |
Six of these keep their original serial, stats and rules text — they are new printings of cards that already exist, not new cards, and they stay tournament-legal as the standard versions. That also means the price you see quoted for "Nami OP11-041" today is the old printing's price. The alternate art is a separate printing and will trade separately.
Two cards drawn like the anime
The two SP cards are the first time the game has put a ONE PIECE HEROINES banner on the card face itself: pink gradient ground, the character's name in script across the middle, and an anime-styled illustration rather than a manga-styled one. The anime aired from 5 July 2026, and the set is riding it.
They are Nico Robin EB05-016 — cost 6, 6000 power, <Wisdom>, Counter 1000 — and Nami OP01-016, the Romance Dawn one-cost searcher that has been in Straw Hat decks since the game launched. A card printed in the very first set, coming back in the thirty-fifth, in a style that did not exist then.
What is still unknown
- The Secret Rare. The reported structure allows exactly one, and it has not been shown. On an Extra Booster the SEC is usually the card that sets the box price — EB-03's Uta manga printing trades around $960.
- Sixty of the sixty-nine cards. Three more are known by name only from TCGplayer presale listings: Tsuru (EB05-036), Shinobu (EB05-042) and Nico Olvia (EB05-056).
- The English SP art. Both SPs were shown as Japanese cards. The English printings exist but have not been pictured.
- The rest of the alternate Leaders. Seven were shown. Nothing says seven is all of them.
All four sealed EB-05 products are listed as presale. The $4.99 pack is asking $24.95, the box sits at $399.95, and the case carries the $9,999.99 placeholder sellers use when they have not set a price. None of that is a signal — it is a handful of listings against zero supply. Real numbers start after 30 October.
