Top Chase Cards in OP12 Legacy of the Master (One Piece TCG)
OP12 is as an underrated modern collector set. Its manga chase, Jewelry Bonney, is well-liked, even if it doesn’t reach top-tier grail status. What really defines OP12 is its depth of premium variants: two new gold and silver 3rd Anniversary Special Rares that sit close to manga rarity, six newly styled Special Rares featuring popular characters like Zoro and Ace, and continued use of alt-art Event cards designed to resemble manga panels. Fitting the “master–pupil” theme, the Leader Alt Arts highlight mentor relationships, adding narrative value collectors appreciate.
Top Chase Cards by Category
Manga Rare
OP12 has one manga rare, and it’s the main high-end pull for the set. If you open boxes for a single headline hit, this is the target.
Jewelry Bonney (OP12-118)
3rd Anniversary Special Cards
These anniversary variants take a familiar collector character and add premium finishes. They sit outside the normal chase flow and pull attention fast.
Marshall D. Teach (OP09-093) — Gold
Marshall D. Teach (OP09-093) — Silver
Special Rare (SP)
OP12’s Special Rares give the set depth beyond the headline manga rare. This is where you get multiple meaningful hits instead of relying on one pull.
Zoro-Juurou (ST18-004)
Portgas D. Ace (ST13-011)
Kuzan (OP10-082)
Tashigi (OP06-050)
Yasopp (OP09-013)
Lim (OP09-037)
Treasure Rare (TR)
Treasure Rares are scarcity-driven pulls that collectors like for their limited availability and regional variants. OP12 has a strong set of TR targets.
Roronoa Zoro (OP10-095) — Chinese
Sabo (OP10-049) — French
Sanji (OP10-063)
Leader Alt Art
Leader Alt Arts hold attention because leaders define deck identity and remain relevant across metas. OP12 has a broad leader chase pool.
Roronoa Zoro (OP12-020)
Donquixote Rosinante (Corazon) (OP12-061)
Sanji (OP12-041)
Kuzan (OP12-040)
Silvers Rayleigh (OP12-001)
Koala (OP12-081)
Event Manga Rare
Event Manga Rares use manga panel-style visuals and tend to collect well as a mini-set within the set. OP12 includes two strong event targets.
Demon Aura Nine Sword Style Asura Blades Drawn Dead Man's Game (OP12-037)
Boeuf Burst (OP12-060)
Secret Rare (SEC) Alt Art
Secret Rare Alt Arts sit at the top of the non-manga chase tier. They’re harder to pull and often become the “secondary headline” cards for a set.
Bartholomew Kuma (OP12-119)
Jewelry Bonney (OP12-118)
Is OP12 Romance Dawn worth opening?
OP12 is quite strong for opening, especially at its current price level. There are many chase cards and box prices remain reasonable.
How this set compares
Compared to early sets (OP01–OP04), OP12 follows a structure with multiple categories of chase cards. It feels like a new generation of One Piece TCG sets. Compared to OP05, OP09 and OP13, OP12 is clearly below them in headline hype, but also significantly more affordable. It sits in the “value modern set” tier rather than the grail tier.
