• *Three cards in “最強の3兄弟パック” (The Strongest Three Brothers Pack).

Regarding "The Strongest Three Brothers Pack" posted on ONE PIECE CARD GAME Japan's Official X on March 25th, 2024 14:30 (JST), we are currently considering another way of selling these cards in the Asian regions besides Japan by the end of the year.
Therefore, we are afraid to inform all players that these three cards above will temporarily be banned in the Asian regions besides Japan, until the cards or replacement cards have officially been released.

OP05-041 Sakazuki

Because this card’s effect lets the player draw cards with low risk, it gives them a high likelihood to assemble an ideal array of cards, and in the tournament environment in particular, this high stability gives a strength exceeding that of other Leaders.
In terms of the color combination, having blue and black gives it a high degree of freedom, so combined with black’s cost lowering and blue’s removal of Character cards to the bottom of the deck, it becomes unexpectedly powerful, creating decks forcing one-sided games that ignore things like use of the trash and [On K.O.] effects. Because decks with this Leader show unrivaled stability, causing a high rate of victory and use, its unexpectedly high removal abilities have limited the diversity of other decks. Since we have judged it to affect the enjoyment of the One Piece Card Game the comes from the risk of Character battling and use of diverse Leaders, we have made it a Banned Card.

ST06-015 Great Eruption

Many other cards reduce cost, but this is the only one that does so without expending the player’s hand or requiring conditions. It’s powerful in all stages of the game, so we judged it to be a card greatly reducing the risk associated with removal in decks playing black. Since the rate of victory and use for decks including black is extremely high, and this card is used the most frequently of all cost-reducing cards, we have made it a Banned Card.

OP06-116 Reject

This card’s “deal 1 damage to your opponent” effect can be used with triggers, a staple of decks with yellow cards, to boost the decisive power of yellow decks and make them unexpectedly difficult to deal with, giving them a high rate of victory.
Additionally, the cost for dealing 1 damage with the effect is low, and we judged the card as letting players easily ignore the risk of battling, creating undue stress. Therefore, we have made it a Banned Card.

OP02-024 Moby Dick

This card has proved to have much lighter demerits than intended when played with “OP02-001 Edward.Newgate” and meets the condition “If you have 1 or less Life cards~”. Also, since it is a stage card it is difficult to remove from play, and if the conditions remain met it tends to drastically quicken the match.
In addition, when played with “OP03-003 Izo” the required condition becomes very easy to recreate.
This makes it commonly used in tournaments and raises the chances of winning too much, which unfortunately reduces the range of tactics that makes the ONE PIECE Card Game fun. For this reason, this card is being placed on the Banned Card list.

OP02-052 Cabaji

When played with “OP03-040 Nami” this card promotes play-to-win tactics without making any attacks and ignoring the offensive and defensive tactics an opponent can use.
Also, this card’s effect to draw cards based on trashing card’s allows players to reduce the number of cards in their deck more than expected when paired with other cards like ”OP01-086 Overheat”, and ”OP03-047 Zeff”.
It’s been confirmed that decks that use “OP03-040 Nami” can be set with other cards as well and not cause problems. In the end to maintain a healthy playing environment into the future this card is being placed on the Banned Card list.
