Bandai's Extra Booster EB-05, Heroines Edition vol.2, comes out in English on October 30. It brings a new Nico Robin leader, six SP cards and a Nami alt art by Kentaro Yabuki, whom Bandai credits as the creator of To Love-Ru. We read Bandai's official pages so you can plan your binder before the first packs open.
Dates are as of October 19, 2026, unless we say otherwise.

Bandai's EB-05 product page carries two notes on play. One says the cards become tournament legal seven days after release. The other says they're legal from the prerelease date in your region.
What's in the set
Bandai describes EB-05 as 75+2 card types across commons, rares, super rares, secret rares, leaders, special cards and DON!! cards. The English product page lists no pack contents or pull rates, so we won't guess at them. Bandai also warns that you may pull duplicates and that a full set can be hard to finish.
The new leader is Nico Robin (EB05-010). Her card carries the Wisdom attribute, and both of her effects reward Wisdom characters: one adds a card to your Life when a Wisdom character without Blocker is K.O.'d, and the other sets a Wisdom character with 6000 power or less as active. Bandai shows a standard and a parallel version. In the parallel, the artist frames Robin in a close crop with her sunglasses pushed up into her hair.
The product page also previews three heroine characters with fresh art: Baby 5 (EB05-004), Boa Hancock (EB05-028) and Perona (EB05-043). If you collect by character, Hancock and Perona turn up again in the SP lineup below, so EB-05 gives you two new looks for each.
The SP cards and the Yabuki Nami
Bandai lists six SP cards with special designs. Four of them carry numbers from other sets and a starter deck:
- EB05-006 Miss Buckingham Stussy
- OP14-033 Perona
- ST17-004 Boa Hancock
- EB05-031 Vinsmoke Reiju
- OP17-081 Gerd
- OP17-109 Charlotte Pudding
Bandai gives EB05-055 Nami a section of its own. The page promises an exclusive alt art illustrated by Kentaro Yabuki and shows it next to the normal version. Both previews name Yabuki in the artist credit on the card's edge. On the alt art, he layers hearts behind Nami and adds a second, larger Nami in the background. The card fits the new leader too: on your turn, her On Play effect adds up to one card from the top of your deck to your Life cards if your leader has the Wisdom attribute.
The product page gives no rate for the alt art. Treat any pull rate you see online as a guess until someone publishes real case data. Nami fans can watch for one more card in November: Bandai lists EB03-006 Nami as the Heroines Battle prize, though it says prizes may change.
Heroines Battle Vol.2 and the companion products
Bandai is backing the set with a themed store tournament. Heroines Battle Vol.2 runs from November 6 to December 6, and players may use only the 25 Heroines leaders on Bandai's list. That list includes the new EB05-010 Nico Robin, OP11-041 Nami, EB03-001 Nefeltari Vivi and OP11-022 Shirahoshi, and alt-art versions count. Each store picks Standard or Constructed. Bandai lists EB03-006 Nami as both the participation prize and the winner prize, and notes that prizes may change. Player registration opens October 23.
Bandai also has two English companion products on the calendar:
- Mini Case Set -Luffy/Shanks/Hancock- (TS-03), October 30. One mini display case from six designs, one promo card from six designs and two OP-17 booster packs (Bandai).
- Gift Collection -ONE PIECE Heroines- (GC-2026), November 20. Two EB-05 booster packs, 70 sleeves in one design and 10 different promo cards with new illustrations (Bandai).
Japan also gets a premium box. Bandai's Heroines Precious Box page lists one Japanese EB-05 booster box, a storage box, 70 sleeves and 10 special DON!! cards in one design, which come as either the regular or the parallel version. That page gives no odds for the split. Bandai's Japanese EB-05 page lists six cards in each pack.
Looking after heroine pulls
Collectors chase these cards for the art, and a foil surface picks up fingerprints in seconds. We handle our own pulls this way:
- Sleeve the card before it leaves the table. A fresh penny sleeve keeps fingerprints and pack dust off the foil.
- Check centering and the edges under a bright light before you decide on a toploader or a grading submission. A card can come out of a fresh pack with whitening or a nick on the back edge.
- Keep the card out of your pocket and away from your deck box until it's in a toploader.
- For a card you might grade, skip the binder page. Go sleeve, then toploader, then a team bag, and store it upright.
Every single we sell ships in a sleeve and toploader at no extra cost. We photograph the actual card, so you can see what you're getting before you buy.
Come say hi
Our singles live in the singles collection, and sealed product sits in Sealed Boxes & Tins. We describe each one the way we'd want it described to us.
If you're opening EB-05 on release day, show the herd your Nami pulls on Discord. Just here to watch? You're welcome to hang out.
We'll be at the BK TCG Show at Brooklyn College on , five days before EB-05 lands. Stop by our table and talk heroines with us.
