How rare is Manga Shanks from OP-01? Pull Rate explained

Collectors of One Piece TCG OP-01 Romance Dawn are probably familiar with one particular card: Shanks Manga Rare OP01-120. To this day, it remains one of the most iconic and coveted cards in the entire One Piece Card Game.

But how difficult is it actually to pull Manga Shanks from a booster yourself?

What is the pull rate for Manga Shanks?

Bandai does not publish official pull rates for Manga Rares for the One Piece Card Game. The available figures are therefore based on large case openings and data from the international One Piece TCG community.

Current estimates for the English OP-01 version suggest approximately:

1 Manga Rare per 4–8 Cases

An analysis indicates about 1 Manga Rare per 576–1,152 Booster Packs.

An English OP-01 case typically contains:

12 Booster Displays × 24 Boosters = 288 Booster Packs

This means: Even if you open a complete sealed case, a Manga Shanks is not guaranteed.

Early community data clearly shows this. For example, in a documented opening of 6 complete OP-01 cases or 72 displays, no Manga Shanks was pulled.

Why is Manga Shanks so coveted?

Manga Shanks combines several things that are particularly interesting for collectors:

  • Shanks is one of the most iconic One Piece characters.

  • OP-01 Romance Dawn is the first main set of the One Piece Card Game.

  • Manga Shanks was one of the first major "jackpot" pulls in the TCG.

  • Manga artwork cards are among the rarest cards regularly available from boosters.

  • Well-preserved or highly graded copies are accordingly sought after.

Market data continues to list Manga Shanks OP01-120 as the top chase from OP-01 in 2026.

Open a single display or keep it sealed?

Precisely this rarity makes OP-01 so exciting for collectors.

A display contains 24 Booster Packs. If a Manga Rare appears only approximately every 576–1,152 packs, that statistically roughly corresponds to:

1 Manga Rare per approximately 24–48 Displays.

Important: This is merely a statistical estimate and not a guarantee. Pull rates can vary depending on the print wave, region, and production batch.

Whoever opens an OP-01 display is chasing one of the rarest hits of the early One Piece TCG.

Whoever keeps it sealed, on the other hand, owns a piece of the very first One Piece main set in its original sealed condition.

Conclusion

Manga Shanks from OP-01 is so coveted because it is rare, iconic, and historically significant for the One Piece Card Game all at the same time.

There is no exact official pull rate. However, community and market data suggest that one would statistically have to open several complete cases to hit a Manga Rare.

That's exactly what makes it so appealing:

A Manga Shanks could theoretically be waiting in every unopened OP-01 display.
