OP-18 The Dominance of God: Everything We Know

Updated October 11, 2026 • Rare Cards Japan editorial team

OP-18 The Dominance of God arrives in Japan on November 21, 2026 as the second 4th-anniversary booster, and it is already shaping up as one of the most lore-heavy sets Bandai has printed: the God's Knights, Imu, Water Seven nostalgia and guest artwork from the legendary Yoshitaka Amano in one product. Japanese retail lotteries have already run, which tells you how allocation is going to look. Here is everything confirmed so far.

The Chase Cards to Watch

God's Knights Super Parallel

The reveal that set the community talking: a Gunko Super Parallel (OP18-065) whose artwork shows the God's Knights with Imu. OP-17 proved what the anniversary Super Parallel slot does to a set's ceiling, with its two KSP cards opening in six-figure yen territory. Our refreshed OP-17 top chase card guide shows exactly how that played out.

Yoshitaka Amano guest parallels

Amano, best known for Final Fantasy's artwork, has drawn new versions of Loki and Saint Shamrock in standard and foil treatments. Guest-artist cards in Japanese TCGs have a long record of outperforming expectations because they pull in collectors from outside the game entirely.

Allocation Is Already Tight

FamilyMart and Amazon Japan ran purchase lotteries for OP-18 back in September, two months before release. That is the same early-scarcity signal OP-15 and OP-17 showed, and both of those sets settled well above retail on the secondary market. If OP-18 follows the pattern, first-print Japanese boxes will be the hard thing to find in December.
