The next major One Piece Card Game expansion is shaping up to be one of the most important releases of 2026.

Bandai officially revealed major elements of OP-18 during ONE PIECE DAY’26, including Franky’s first Leader card, the arrival of the God’s Knights and special artwork created by legendary illustrator Yoshitaka Amano.

For collectors and players searching for the OP-18 release date, card list, chase cards and booster box information, here is everything currently known about The Dominance of God.

When Does OP-18 The Dominance of God Release?

The international English release of OP-18 The Dominance of God is currently listed for November 20, 2026. Recent European product information also lists this date for the international release. PlayShop

An English OP-18 Booster Box contains:

24 booster packs
12 cards per booster pack
288 cards across a sealed booster box

As always with One Piece Card Game booster products, cards are randomly inserted and purchasing a box does not guarantee a specific rarity or chase card.

Franky Finally Gets a Leader Card

One of the biggest announcements surrounding OP-18 is the introduction of Franky as a Leader Card for the first time in the One Piece Card Game.

Bandai revealed Franky during ONE PIECE DAY’26 alongside his alternate-art version. One Piece

Franky is one of the core members of the Straw Hat Crew, but until OP-18 he had never received his own Leader card.

That alone makes OP-18 particularly interesting for players who have been waiting to build a deck directly around the Straw Hats’ shipwright.

The card is currently identified as Franky [OP18-021], with early revealed information showing a Green/Purple Leader connected to Stage-based strategies. Bakashop

The God’s Knights Enter the One Piece Card Game

OP-18 also introduces one of the most recent and mysterious factions from the One Piece story: the God’s Knights.

Bandai confirmed that characters including Gunko and Saint Figarland Shamrock will appear in the One Piece Card Game through this expansion. One Piece

This gives OP-18 a particularly modern connection to the ongoing story surrounding Elbaf and the highest levels of the World Government.

For players, the introduction of an entirely new character group also means new deck-building possibilities and support that could continue across future One Piece Card Game releases.

Nico Robin Manga Rare in OP-18

For collectors, one of the biggest cards associated with the set is Nico Robin [OP18-031].

Current revealed information identifies Nico Robin as the major Manga Rare / Super Parallel chase card of OP-18, marking a major collectible release for one of the most popular Straw Hat characters. onepiecetcgmarket.fr

This is especially notable because Robin is also receiving major attention in EB-05 Heroines Edition Vol. 2, which releases shortly before OP-18.

Collectors following Nico Robin cards therefore have two major 2026 sets to watch.

Yoshitaka Amano Illustrates One Piece Cards

One of the most unusual features of OP-18 is its collaboration with legendary Japanese artist Yoshitaka Amano.

Amano is internationally known for his work on Final Fantasy and his distinctive fantasy illustration style.

Bandai revealed two special artworks for OP-18:

Saint Figarland Shamrock
Loki

The official ONE PIECE announcement specifically confirmed that both characters received illustrations created by Yoshitaka Amano. One Piece

Reported card information identifies Saint Shamrock [OP18-119] as a Secret Rare, while the special Loki artwork uses the existing Loki [OP17-119] card from OP-17 as a new parallel treatment. Bakashop

For collectors who value artist collaborations and unique card artwork, these are likely to be among the most recognizable cards associated with the expansion.

Water 7 and Elbaf Themes

OP-18 combines several different periods of One Piece.

The set includes Water 7-related characters, led by Franky and Nico Robin, while also incorporating characters connected to the current Elbaf storyline and God’s Knights. onepiecetcgmarket.fr

This creates an unusual mix between one of the most iconic classic One Piece story arcs and some of the newest characters in the series.

That combination gives OP-18 broad appeal for both longtime One Piece fans and collectors following the newest parts of the story.

Is OP-18 Worth Watching?
