Top 10 Chase Cards in OP05 (Awakening of the New Era)

1. Monkey D. Luffy (OP05-119) – Manga Rare The first Luffy manga rare and the Gear 5 debut card. This is the defining chase of OP05 and the card most collectors open cases for. Ultra-low pull rates, iconic art, and main-character status push demand far above the rest. Often referred to as the Charizard of One Piece TCG for a reason.	Loading…
2. Monkey D. Luffy (ST01-012) – Signed Card A special Oda-signed Luffy included in OP05. Pull rates are extremely low, making this a true case hit. It sits outside normal rarity structures and appeals almost purely to high-end collectors. One of the rarest modern One Piece TCG cards.
3. Trafalgar Law (OP05-069) – Manga Rare One of the three manga rares in OP05, making this set unique. Law has a stable and dedicated collector base, and this is his first manga rare. Demand is strong and consistent, a clear top-tier chase card below Luffy.	Loading…
4. Eustass “Captain” Kid (OP05-074) – Manga Rare The first Kid manga rare and the third piece of the OP05 trio. While Kid trails Luffy and Law in popularity, manga rarity carries weight. Collectors value this card as part of the complete manga set. Slightly weaker demand, still a true chase.	Loading…
5. Nami (OP01-016) – Special Rare SP This SP card introduced a visual style that later releases still follow. Strong foil treatment, clean background design, and Nami’s long-standing popularity drive demand. Pull rates are low, and the card displays very well. A high-end SP that collectors actively target.	Loading…
6. Yamato (OP01-121) – Special Rare SP Yamato remains a strong collector character, and SP rarity keeps pull rates tight. The artwork is bold, colorful and display-friendly, which helps long-term appeal. A solid upper mid-tier chase.	Loading…
7. Uta (OP02-120) – Special Rare SP Uta cards consistently perform well with collectors. This SP version benefits from low odds and a clean presentation.	Loading…
8. Enel (OP05-100) – Special Rare SP One of the strongest visual SP designs in the set. The artwork and foil treatment make this a display-focused card.	Loading…
9. Kaido (OP04-044) – Special Rare SP Kaido’s SP card remains attractive due to character presence and bold art. A borderline chase that completes SP sets.	Loading…
10. Monkey D. Luffy (OP05-119) – Secret Rare Alt Art The non-manga alternate art version of the Gear 5 Luffy. Pull rates are higher than the manga rare, but demand stays strong due to shared artwork themes. Often overshadowed by the manga version. Still relevant as a lower-tier chase.	Loading…

Honorable mentions

Cards that narrowly missed the Top 10:

Is OP05 Awakening of the New Era worth opening?

For sealed collectors, OP05 is high risk but high reward. Value is heavily concentrated in a few top hits, especially the Luffy manga rare and signed card. Many boxes will miss those entirely. Buying the specific chase card you want makes more sense. The odds of hitting a top-tier card by opening packs are low, and the cost adds up fast.

How does this set compares

Compared to OP04 Kingdom of Intrigue, OP05 is clearly stronger. The inclusion of three manga rares creates a clear chase hierarchy and pushes OP05 into a higher tier. Compared to OP01 Romance Dawn, OP05 has fewer historic firsts, but it compensates with higher visual quality and tighter rarity at the top. From a pure hit-density perspective, OP05 sits comfortably alongside OP01, OP09, OP13, PRB, and EB as one of the strongest sets released so far.
