OP-17 card list: every rarity in The World's Strongest Warriors
OP-17 ships around 131 card types before parallels. Here is how that number splits by rarity, and which slots actually matter to you.
The short version
- OP-17 The World's Strongest Warriors contains roughly 131 card types plus 4 DON!! cards, before alternate art and parallel versions are counted.
- The published breakdown is 6 Leaders, 45 Commons, 30 Uncommons, 26 Rares, 10 Super Rares, Secret Rares, Special cards and a single Treasure Rare.
- The Treasure Rare is the rarest slot in the set and there is only one card in it, so every collector chasing the top of the set is chasing the same card.
- Card numbers run OP17-001 upward; a parallel shares its number with the base card and is therefore the same card for deck building.
- Bandai does not publish official pull rates, so any percentage you see in launch week is a community estimate from opened boxes.
A One Piece set list looks intimidating until you notice that most of it is not for sale in any meaningful sense — commons and uncommons cost pennies and you will own them all within a couple of boxes. The interesting part of a card list is the top: how many Super Rares, how many Secret Rares, and what sits above them. OP-17 The World's Strongest Warriors is the first set where that last question has a new answer.
The rarity breakdown
The set is listed at roughly 131 card types plus 4 DON!! cards. That figure counts distinct cards, not printings — every alternate art and parallel is an extra way to open a card that is already on the list.
| Rarity | Cards | What it means for you |
|---|---|---|
| Leader (L) | 6 | One per colour. These decide what decks the set creates. |
| Common (C) | 45 | Bulk. Cheap, and some of them are format staples. |
| Uncommon (UC) | 30 | Also cheap. Events and removal often live here. |
| Rare (R) | 26 | Where a lot of playable, affordable deck cards sit. |
| Super Rare (SR) | 10 | The competitive chase slots — usually the expensive playables. |
| Secret Rare (SEC) | 2–3 | Collector chase. Exact count varies by region listing. |
| Special / SP | 6–10 | Parallel treatments of existing cards, not new cards. |
| Treasure Rare (TR) | 1 | New in OP-17, and the rarest slot in the set. |
How OP-17 card numbers work
Every card carries a number in the form `OP17-###`, starting at OP17-001 and running up through the set in colour order. Two things follow from that, and both matter more than people expect:
- A parallel does not get its own number. An alternate art of OP17-040 is still OP17-040. For deck building it is the same card and shares the four-copy limit.
- The number is the only reliable identifier. Character names repeat constantly across sets — there are many Luffy cards — so 'Luffy' is not an identity. `OP17-###` is.
- Numbering is colour-ordered. Red cards come first, then green, blue, purple, black, yellow, which is why you can guess a card's colour from its number once you know a set's ranges.
If you are cataloguing OP-17 rather than reading about it, the card number is what you want in your spreadsheet — not the name. Our guide to reading a One Piece card breaks down every field on the frame.
Which slots are actually worth chasing
There are two completely different lists here depending on why you buy cards, and conflating them is the most expensive mistake in the hobby.
| If you… | Chase | Ignore |
|---|---|---|
| Play competitively | Leaders and Super Rares, at base printing | Treasure Rare, Secret Rares, all parallels |
| Collect the set | One of each of the ~131 types | Extra copies of SRs you already have |
| Collect the chase cards | TR, SEC and Manga Rare treatments | Commons, uncommons, the playables |
The Elbaf and Emperors theme
The card list reads like a who's who of the previous generation: the Four Emperors, the Rocks Pirates and the Giants of Elbaf are all heavily represented. That matters beyond flavour, because trait-based support is what turns a pile of characters into an archetype. A set that prints ten Giant-trait characters and a Leader that cares about Giants has effectively created a new deck, whereas ten unrelated strong cards create nothing.

Frequently asked questions
- How many cards are in OP-17?
- Roughly 131 card types plus 4 DON!! cards, before alternate art and parallel versions. The breakdown is 6 Leaders, 45 Commons, 30 Uncommons, 26 Rares, 10 Super Rares, 2–3 Secret Rares, a handful of Special cards and 1 Treasure Rare.
- What is the first card number in OP-17?
- OP17-001. Numbers run upward through the set roughly in colour order, and Leaders are numbered alongside the characters rather than in a separate range.
- Do alternate arts have different card numbers?
- No. A parallel or alternate art shares the card number of its base printing, which is why it is the same card for deck building and counts against the same four-copy limit.
- How many Treasure Rares are in OP-17?
- One. Treasure Rare is a new rarity introduced in OP-17 and only a single card occupies it, which is why it concentrates so much of the set's chase value.
- Where can I check the official OP-17 card list?
- Bandai publishes the full list on the official card list page once the set goes live. Before launch, third-party checklists are compiled from spoilers and are usually accurate but occasionally incomplete.
