One Piece TCG EB-05:
Heroines Edition 2Everything We Know So Far
Nico Robin. Nami. Boa Hancock. The most beloved women of the Grand Line return for a second Extra Booster, tied directly to the new ONE PIECE HEROINES anime special. Here's everything confirmed — and what EB-03 taught us to expect.
What Is One Piece TCG EB-05: Heroines Edition 2?
One Piece TCG EB-05: Heroines Edition 2 is the upcoming sequel Extra Booster set announced by Bandai on June 18, 2026 during the game's "Next Plan" presentation. It follows directly from February 2026's EB-03: Heroines Edition, the first set dedicated entirely to the women of the One Piece universe, and is officially titled "ONE PIECE Heroines Edition 2" in the announcement.
The set ties directly into the ONE PIECE HEROINES anime special — a one-episode adaptation of the One Piece Heroines light novel — which airs on July 5, 2026. The same announcement confirmed two other major releases: OP-17: The World's Strongest Warrior, and a six-deck Starter Deck wave [ST31–36] built around fan-favourite characters including Luffy, Zoro, Sabo, and Charlotte Katakuri — all launching alongside the new Elbaph Arc content on July 31, 2026.
EB-05 itself is currently slated for Q4 2026, giving English collectors a clear runway to follow the Japanese reveals and plan ahead — exactly as they did with EB-03 earlier this year.
🌹 The bottom line: If EB-03 is any indication, EB-05 will be a heavily collector-driven release stacked with gorgeous SP-rarity portrait cards of the franchise's most popular female characters — and based on early community reaction, names like Nico Robin, Nami, and Boa Hancock are virtually guaranteed to make a return appearance, likely in brand-new card versions rather than reprints.
What's Confirmed So Far
Since EB-05 was only just named, it's important to separate what's officially verified from speculation. Here's exactly where things stand:

EB-03 Recap — Why Collectors Are Already Excited
To understand why EB-05 is generating buzz before a single card is revealed, you need to understand what EB-03 did right. Released February 20, 2026, EB-03: Heroines Edition was a 75-unique-card set built entirely around the franchise's female cast — with cameo appearances from Yamato and a gender-swapped Trafalgar Law.
The set introduced exactly one new Leader — Nefeltari Vivi — while the rest of the cards were designed to power up existing decks across the entire game, particularly the heavily-supported Straw Hat Crew archetype. Nine characters received special SP-rarity portrait cards, instantly becoming the most chased cards in the set.
💰 The numbers that matter: Boa Hancock's EB-03 SP card sold for as much as $238+ at peak demand. Nico Robin's SP card has been recorded selling for as high as $1,720 in premium grades. Uta's Manga-rarity card — the chase card of the entire set — sold for over $617. If EB-05 follows the same structure, expect similarly explosive secondary market activity around its signature heroines.
The Signature Heroines Everyone Wants Back
While EB-05's actual card list hasn't been revealed, these three characters set the standard in EB-03 and are the names every collector is watching for in the sequel:
📖 Nico Robin — Second-Most Popular Heroine
The Straw Hat Crew's archaeologist remains one of the most universally adored characters in the franchise. Her EB-03 SP card became the most expensive Nico Robin card ever printed in English, and her competitive flexibility — tied to the most supported archetype in the game — kept demand sky-high. A near-certain return in EB-05.
EB-03 SP sold up to $1,720🍊 Nami — The Navigator Everyone Builds Around
Nami's EB-03 SP card combined an iconic confident pose with her signature tangerine-cross-section background design — and packed real competitive power, pressuring opponents' Life cards immediately on play. Her cards are consistently among the most collected in any set she appears in.
EB-03 SP ~$173.50👑 Boa Hancock — The Snake Princess Sells Herself
Boa Hancock doesn't need to be the strongest competitive card in a set to be one of the most chased — her dedicated fanbase has consistently turned her cards into multi-hundred-dollar chase pieces, going back to her record-setting SP card in The Azure Sea's Seven. Artist Sunohara's recurring work on her cards has become a signature collector draw in its own right.
EB-03 SP ~$238.83🎨 What made EB-03's chase cards special: Each SP-rarity heroine card used portrait-style artwork with a clean, flat colour-block background — Nami's tangerine cross-sections, Hancock's violet-and-red blend, Robin's archaeology motifs. This unified visual language is part of why the set felt so cohesive, and it's a strong signal of the visual direction EB-05 will likely continue.
What We're Predicting for EB-05
Based on the EB-03 blueprint and details from the June 18 announcement, here's our educated forecast for Heroines Edition 2 — clearly labelled by confidence level, since none of this is officially confirmed:
| Prediction | Reasoning | Confidence |
|---|---|---|
| Nico Robin, Nami & Boa Hancock return with new SP cards | All three were the breakout chase cards of EB-03; sequel sets typically rotate in new versions of fan favourites | High |
| A brand-new Leader card | EB-03 introduced Nefeltari Vivi as its one new Leader — sequel sets in this format tend to follow the pattern | Medium-High |
| Characters tied to the ONE PIECE HEROINES light novel | The set is explicitly built around this source material, likely introducing characters with light-novel-specific scenes | High |
| 9+ SP-rarity portrait cards | Matches EB-03's exact structure of nine chase-tier heroine cards | Medium |
| Gold DON!! cards for top characters | EB-03 included 4 Gold DON!! cards tied to box art characters — a popular mechanic likely to return | Medium |
| ~75–90 unique cards | Consistent with EB-03's 75-card count and the broader Extra Booster format size | Medium |
| Heavy support for Straw Hat Crew & multiple archetypes | EB-03 spread support widely across existing Leaders rather than introducing niche strategies | Medium-High |
⚠️ Everything beyond the set name, theme, and Q4 2026 timing is speculative analysis based on EB-03's pattern, not official Bandai information. This page will be updated as Japanese reveals progress.
