EB-05 Heroines Edition vol.2: release date, Nico Robin and SP cards

EB-05, ONE PIECE Heroines Edition vol.2, is the second extra booster built around the series' female characters. It's out on 30 October 2026 in English and 31 October in Japan, at a suggested $4.99 or ¥240 a pack. The big additions are a new Nico Robin Leader, six SP cards with special designs and an alternate-art Nami drawn by Kentaro Yabuki.

We've pulled everything below from Bandai's English and Japanese product pages, checked on 18 October 2026. The Japanese page is the more detailed one: it's the only place the rarity breakdown is published so far.

EB-05 release date, price and contents

The Japanese rarity table splits the 75 into 7 Leaders, 29 Commons, 21 Rares, 9 Super Rares, 1 Secret Rare and 8 Special Cards, with 2 DON!! cards making up the '+2'. One thing doesn't line up yet: the feature section talks about 6 SP designs while the table counts 8 Special Cards. Bandai hasn't explained the gap, and we'll update this when the card list is out.

The Nico Robin Leader

Nico Robin (EB05-010) is a Green/Yellow Leader with 5000 power and 4 Life. Both of her effects care about Characters with the Wisdom attribute. Once per turn, when one of your Wisdom Characters without Blocker is K.O.'d, you can put the top card of your deck on top of your Life. And once per turn, during your Main Phase, she can set a Wisdom Character with 6000 power or less as active.

Read together, that's a Leader that wants to trade Characters and keep Life topped up while it does. Starting on 4 Life rather than 5 is the trade-off for being able to add Life back. Whether there are enough good Wisdom Characters to make her work is the question the first weeks of play will answer; our guide on how to choose a Leader explains how we judge a new one before the results come in.

SP cards and the Kentaro Yabuki alt art

Bandai's English page shows six SP cards: Miss Buckingham Stussy (EB05-006), Perona (OP14-033), Boa Hancock (ST17-004), Vinsmoke Reiju (EB05-031), Gerd (OP17-081) and Charlotte Pudding (OP17-109). Several carry card numbers from older sets. That's normal for SP cards: they're new printings of existing cards, and they play exactly like the original. Our variants guide explains how to tell printings apart.

The collector story is Nami, EB05-055. It's a Super Rare, and EB-05 includes an alternate-art version drawn by Kentaro Yabuki, the creator of To Love-Ru. Guest-artist parallels have a dedicated following; our bet is that this one will be among the first EB-05 cards with a real price on it. Baby 5 (EB05-004), Boa Hancock (EB05-028) and Perona (EB05-043) are the other new illustrations Bandai highlights.

What EB-03 prices tell you about EB-05

EB-03 was the first Heroines Edition, released in English on 20 February 2026. We track its prices daily for Bounty, and it's the closest guide to how EB-05 might behave. As of 18 October 2026, the 15 most valuable EB-03 printings were a median 36% below their launch-week TCGplayer prices, with 14 of 15 down.

The pattern matches what we saw on OP-16 and OP-17: the two most-wanted parallels held their value, and most cards between $50 and $500 gave back a lot. Prices are TCGplayer Market Price, a sales-based estimate rather than the cheapest listing. 'Launch week' is the median of the first three daily prices we recorded and can include pre-order prices. If you're chasing a mid-tier EB-05 card, waiting a few weeks has a good track record. The full reasoning is in booster box vs singles.
