Extra Booster EB-06 East Blue goes on sale in English on 29 January 2027, and in Japan a day later. Bandai promises characters from the start of the adventure and cards meant to strengthen a variety of decks, but so far it has shown only the packaging and two illustrations. No card names, and no new Leader, have been confirmed officially.

Key points

  • Release: English version on 29 January 2027, Japan on 30 January

  • Theme: the East Blue, the sea where the adventure begins

  • Contents: 67+1 card types, the sixth Extra Booster in the game

  • Shown so far: the packaging and two illustrations, with no card names

  • Tournament legality: 7 days after release

  • Unconfirmed: a new Leader, a Super Alt-Art card and specific characters

What Bandai has shown so far

The official ONE PIECE news site said that after the special broadcast of 6 November the packaging and two new illustrations had been revealed. No cards or Leaders were named. The English official page describes the set as the sixth Extra Booster, themed around the East Blue, meant to power up a variety of decks with characters from the sea where the adventure began, and promises many beloved characters from the early days.

The page does not mention a Leader, Special cards or extra cards. No card list has been published.

What to expect from EB-06

Bandai confirms three things: the East Blue theme, characters from the early chapters and 67+1 card types. The announcement also speaks of strengthening a variety of decks, but it does not say which Leaders or types that covers.

This is an Extra Booster rather than a numbered main booster: OP-19 has 126+1 card types and EB-06 nearly half as many. We do not know which characters will appear, in which colours or in which versions.

A point of comparison: EB-04 Egghead Crisis

The closest official comparison is EB-04, which has the same number of card types (67+1). According to its official page it had 6 cards per pack (Japanese version) and this split: 1 Leader, 29 Common, 21 Rare, 9 Super Rare, 1 Secret Rare, 6 Special and 1 DON!! card. It got a new Leader, Jewelry Bonney, and a Super Alt-Art card (Koby).

An overseas retailer gives exactly the same rarity split for EB-06. It is our inference that this is the standard layout for 67+1 sets rather than a leak of EB-06's contents. Bandai has not published a split for EB-06, so we do not know whether it will include a Leader or a Super Alt-Art card.

What is unconfirmed

  • A new Leader and boosts for older Leaders: the trade site ICv2 describes this in a piece dated 26 June 2026, together with Special cards in a new nostalgic design and one character in a Super Alt-Art version, and an overseas retailer has a similar description. Bandai only officially announced EB-06 on 6 November, and similar sentences appeared in retailer descriptions of earlier Extra Boosters (including EB-03 and EB-05), so we treat this as a distributor description rather than a finding

  • Specific characters: a Japanese portal writes that Shanks and Buggy are expected in the set. That is a single source, worded as "it seems", with no confirmation from Bandai

Release dates at a glance

  • EB-06, English: 29 January 2027

  • EB-06, Japan: 30 January 2027

  • OP-18 The Dominance of God, English: 20 November 2026

  • OP-19 Come In, World, English: 5 March 2027 (pre-release on 26 February)

According to the official page, EB-06 cards are tournament legal after 7 days, which means 5 February 2027 (our calculation from the release date). The page also mentions legality from the pre-release in your region, but gives no pre-release date for EB-06. The UK distributor Asmodee lists 29 January 2027, the same as Bandai.

Where the sources disagree

  • Date: the English page says 29 January 2027, the Asian page says 30 January. This reflects the language versions rather than an error. One retailer had first printed 30 October 2026 and corrected it on 10 November

  • New Leader: ICv2 and retailers announce one, the official EB-06 pages do not mention it

  • Pre-release: the English page mentions legality from the pre-release but gives no date

  • Cards per pack: the Japanese page says 6, shops with the English edition say 12 (a box holds 24 packs)

Source reliability

  • High: Bandai's official pages and the ONE PIECE news site for dates, theme, card type count and the fact that only the packaging and two illustrations were shown

  • High: the official EB-04 page for the 67+1 comparison

  • Medium: Asmodee UK for the 29 January 2027 date

  • Low: ICv2, retailer descriptions and a Japanese portal for the Leader, the Super Alt-Art, the rarity split and specific characters

  • Our own inference: the standard 67+1 layout and the legality date after 7 days

What to do depending on your situation

If you play competitively, plan for EB-06 from 5 February 2027. If you are waiting for a particular East Blue character, wait for the official card list, because no name is confirmed. If you collect, do not order a box on the strength of a retailer's rarity split.
