As part of our commitment to maintaining a balanced competitive environment, we are adding and removing the following cards from the Banned/Restricted Card List, effective October 12, 2026.

Regarding the Policy of Banned/Restricted Card Revision

We, the Development Team of ONE PIECE CARD GAME, consider as the main policy for game designing that the players and fans can enjoy numerous decks built around the leader card.
Throughout the year, we continuously monitor the game environment to ensure strategic diversity is maintained, always considering whether revisions to the Banned/Restricted Card List are necessary.

When determining whether to add cards to the Banned/Restricted List, we evaluate multiple aspects of a deck—such as its win rate, results from major tournaments, usage rate, its projected influence on the future game environment, and whether it restricts the viability of other Leaders.
For that reason, we also consider removing certain cards from the Banned/Restricted List when the game environment changes, and when we believe players and fans will once again be able to fully enjoy the game without those restrictions.
Typically, we announce revisions to the list once after the conclusion of Championship Season 1 in Japan, and once after the World Championship.
However, if we determine that a particular card is preventing us from providing an enjoyable environment, we may add it to the Banned/Restricted List without waiting for the end of a Championship season.

Banned Cards

The following card(s) cannot be included in any deck.

OP14-020 Dracule Mihawk

1. *Parallel cards (Alt-Art cards) included

As more booster products have been released, certain combinations involving this card have become more powerful than we had anticipated and deviated from the gameplay experience we aim to provide.In addition, we determined that this card significantly restricts the viability of Leader cards with the {Slash} attribute and severely harms the diversity of Leader selection in the game environment, including cards to be released in the future.
For these reasons, we have decided to designate this card as a Banned Card.

Following the addition of "OP14-020 Dracule Mihawk” to the Banned List, as a replacement we plan to distribute a new Leader card with a new text "P-163 Dracule Mihawk" at future events.

P-163 Dracule Mihawk

To maintain an enjoyable game experience with a huge diversity of decks for all the players and fans, we continue to monitor the game environment, and implement revisions if necessary.

In the meantime, we hope you continue to enjoy playing the ONE PIECE CARD GAME.
