The early reveals already include:
- Franky's first-ever Leader card
- Nico Robin's first Manga Rare / Super Parallel
- A new Gunko Leader
- A Saint Gunko Super Alt Art featuring a mysterious new "?" colour attribute
- New multicolour Leader combinations, including Green/Purple Franky and Purple/Black Gunko
- New Water 7 support

- Two special cards featuring artwork by Yoshitaka Amano
With several massive collector cards already confirmed, there is plenty more still to be revealed ahead of OP-18's November launch.
Franky FINALLY Gets His First Leader Card
Franky fans have been waiting a LONG time for this one.
Bandai revealed Franky OP18-021 during the One Piece Card Game presentation at ONE PIECE DAY ’26, finally giving the Straw Hat Pirates' shipwright his first-ever Leader card.
The new Green/Purple Franky Leader is tied to the Water 7, Franky Family and Straw Hat Crew archetypes and arrives alongside an eye-catching Franky Leader Parallel.
Franky's strategy also appears heavily focused on Stage cards, immediately giving players a fresh deck building direction. His revealed ability turns Stage cards in the player's hand into powerful Counter options while also allowing certain Stage cards to be played directly from the hand.
After 18 main sets, Franky finally has his time to shine as a Leader — and his Parallel Art could quickly become one of OP-18's most sought-after cards.
Multicolour Leader Combinations and Brand-New Parallel Art Style
OP-18: The Dominance of God is shaking things up with a brand-new Leader Parallel Art style, giving some of the set's biggest Leaders a fresh new collector treatment.
The newly revealed Leader Parallels feature a distinct visual direction compared to previous One Piece Card Game sets, making them instantly stand out while giving collectors another major rarity to chase.
Additionally, Franky and Gunko were revealed as multicolour Leaders, unlocking fresh colour combinations and exciting new deck building possibilities.
Franky OP18-021 arrives as a Green/Purple Leader, combining two colours that give players access to a wide range of Stage-focused and resource-based strategies — a fitting combination for Franky's long-awaited Leader debut.
Gunko OP18-060 joins the lineup as a Purple/Black Leader, bringing the Knights of God into a powerful new colour combination with plenty of potential for creative deck building.
With highly anticipated characters such as Franky and Gunko leading the OP-18 lineup, this new Leader treatment adds even more excitement to an already stacked set.
The Knights of God arrive, with Saint Gunko Introducing a Mysterious New "?" Colour
OP-18: The Dominance of God will also put a major focus on the Knights of God, bringing more of the latest One Piece characters and themes into the trading card game.
One of the most intriguing reveals is an entirely new "?" (question mark) colour attribute.
The upcoming set features special cards carrying this mysterious new attribute, including a stunning Saint Gunko Super Alt Art representing the Knights of God. Rather than displaying one of the established colours, the card features a "?" colour, making it one of the most unusual reveals from OP-18 so far.
Exactly what the new question mark attribute means for gameplay remains one of the biggest mysteries surrounding The Dominance of God.
Nico Robin Receives Her First Manga Rare
Collectors have another MASSIVE chase card to look forward to.
Nico Robin OP18-031 has been revealed with a Super Parallel / Manga treatment, marking the character's first Manga Rare-style card in the ONE PIECE Card Game.
The card features Robin in her iconic Enies Lobby outfit, paying tribute to one of the most memorable and beloved arcs in ONE PIECE history — and an especially significant chapter in Robin's story.
With Robin remaining one of the most popular members of the Straw Hat Crew, her first Manga card is shaping up to be one of the headline collector cards from OP-18 The Dominance of God.
Yoshitaka Amano Illustrates Loki & Shamrock Secret Rares
Perhaps the biggest surprise from the OP-18 announcement is the involvement of legendary Japanese artist Yoshitaka Amano.
Best known internationally for his iconic work on the Final Fantasy series, Amano has created original illustrations for Loki and Saint Shamrock Secret Rare cards appearing in The Dominance of God.
The Amano-illustrated cards have also been shown with Parallel and gold-foil Parallel versions, immediately positioning them among the most exciting potential chase cards in the set.
The combination of ONE PIECE characters with Amano's unmistakable art style makes these cards particularly significant for collectors — especially those who are also fans of Final Fantasy and Japanese fantasy artwork.
OP-18 Is Already Looking MASSIVE
Between Franky's first Leader, Robin's first Manga card, Saint Gunko's mysterious "?" colour attribute and two Yoshitaka Amano Secret Rares, OP-18 is already shaping up to be an absolutely stacked ONE PIECE Card Game release.
And this is only the beginning.
With the full One Piece Card Game OP-18 card list still to be revealed, collectors and players can expect plenty more announcements as the November 2026 release
Stay tuned for more OP-18 card reveals, Manga Rares, Parallel Arts, Secret Rares and One Piece Card Game news as Bandai reveals more from The Dominance of God.
