EB-05 One Piece Heroines Edition Vol.2: Everything We Know (Release October 31)
EB-05 One Piece Heroines Edition Vol.2: Everything We Know
The Heroines are back. EB-05 One Piece Heroines Edition Vol.2 lands in Japan on October 31, 2026, three weeks after this update, and it follows the most successful extra booster formula Bandai has run. Vol.1 (EB-03) turned its Uta manga alt art into a near six-figure yen chase card and made the whole set a collector staple. Here is everything confirmed and reported about Vol.2 so far.
- Release: October 31, 2026 in Japan, October 30 for the English edition
- Set size: 75 card types plus 2 DON!! cards
- Breakdown: 7 Leaders, 29 Commons, 21 Rares, 9 Super Rares, 1 Secret Rare, 8 Special cards, 2 DON!!
- Theme: the women of One Piece, continuing the Heroines line from EB-03
- Chase structure: 8 Heroines SP treatments reported, plus the single Secret Rare
The 8 Reported Heroines SP Cards
The SP slot is what made EB-03 boxes disappear, and Vol.2 repeats the structure with eight reported treatments:
| Character | Card number | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Nami | OP01-016 | The original fan favourite, back with a Heroines treatment |
| Nico Robin | EB05-016 | New set-native Robin, a natural centrepiece candidate |
| Miss Buckingham Stussy | EB05-006 | First premium treatment for a newer fan favourite |
| Perona | OP14-033 | Cult-favourite character with a loyal collector base |
| Boa Hancock | ST17-004 | Hancock treatments have led every Heroines-style product |
| Vinsmoke Reiju | EB05-031 | Reiju cards consistently outperform her card-pool size |
| Gerd | OP17-081 | Fresh Elbaf-arc face carried over from OP-17 |
| Charlotte Pudding | OP17-109 | Pudding rounds out the eight reported SP treatments |
If EB-03 is the guide, expect the top one or two SP treatments to carry most of the set's value. Vol.1's Uta SEC/SP reached roughly ¥99,800 and its Hancock and Nami SPs held five-figure yen prices well after release. See our EB-03 top 10 price guide for the full Vol.1 picture.
Why Heroines Sets Hold Up
Extra boosters live or die on character selection, and the Heroines line concentrates the most collected characters in the game into one product. Vol.1 boxes sold through their allocation quickly and have stayed in demand since. Character-driven sets with small print windows behave very differently from main-line sets: there is no competitive rotation pressure, so collector demand sets the price alone.
Japanese or English Version?
Both release within a day of each other, but Japanese first-print extra boosters have historically been the collector pick for print quality and scarcity. Our Japanese vs English guide breaks down the trade-offs in detail.
