Robin OP-18: Character Cards Guide

Updated November 8, 2026

The Robin card in OP-18 (OP18) is OP18-031 Nico Robin, the Super Alt Art card of the One Piece Card Game booster pack The Dominance of God. Official pages describe it as the set’s “special card design” and list it as a combo card for the Monkey.D.Luffy Leader. Japan release is November 21, 2026.

Key facts: Robin OP18-031 at a glance

This table gives the entity details for the Robin card and its set, each tied to an official page.

What is the Robin OP18 card?

The Robin OP18 card is OP18-031 Nico Robin, and the official pages name it as the Super Alt Art card of the set. The card number tells you the set (OP18) and the slot (031), which makes it easy to search, sort and compare once the set is out.

The English official page says: “OP18-031 Nico Robin is the set’s Super Alt Art card, described as a ‘special card design’.” The Japanese official page lists the same card under its Super Parallel heading, next to the phrase “special design card”. Both pages agree on the card, the number and the special design.

This guide is a fact sheet about one card plus the cards that connect to it, not a catalog of Robin printings.

The Japanese page also says the images are development images that may differ from the actual product, and that specifications may change. The English page says the same in its own words: illustrations may differ from the final product and product details may change. Treat the reveal image above as the official preview, and check the finished card when it arrives.

For the whole set, our OP-18 complete guide covers release dates and contents. This page stays on Robin.

What does Super Alt Art mean for Nico Robin OP18-031?

Super Alt Art is the label the official pages give OP18-031, an alternate-art card with the special design they single out for this set. The label and the phrase “special card design” are what the official pages state about it.

The English official pages say “Super Alt Art”. The Japanese page says “Super Parallel” (スーパーパラレル). Both labels point to the same card slot, OP18-031.

Other labels in the official text belong to different cards, so it helps not to mix them up:

• Super Leader Alt Art: Saint Gunko (OP18-060), per the Asia English page.
• 4th Anniversary alt art: OP18-065 Saint Gunko is described as an alt-art card celebrating the 4th Anniversary on the English page.
• Amano alt art: OP18-119 Saint Shamrock has alt art with original artwork by Yoshitaka Amano.

Robin’s card has none of those labels. It is the one the pages call the Super Alt Art card, and that wording sets it apart from the other alternate arts in the same set.

The set has several special-art cards, but only one is named the “Super Alt Art”. The pages give no odds for any card, so this guide gives none.

Which Leader does Robin OP18-031 work with?

Robin OP18-031 is listed as a combo card for the Monkey.D.Luffy Leader. The English page lists “Luffy: OP18-118 Monkey.D.Luffy, OP18-031 Nico Robin” among its combo cards.

The three official pages word the link a little differently, so here they are side by side:

All three pages agree: the Leader is OP18-022 Monkey.D.Luffy, and Robin OP18-031 appears beside him.

The official words for Robin and Luffy are “combo card” and “related card”. For card effects, use the card text on the finished card.

Our OP-18 Leaders guide lists all the new Leaders if you want to see how the other combo pairs are set up.

Robin is the only Super Alt Art card in these pairings, and her Leader is Luffy.

When does the Robin OP18 card release?

Robin OP18-031 arrives with the set: November 21, 2026 in Japan and November 20, 2026 for the English edition. The cards are in the booster pack, so the pack’s release date is the card’s release date.

Japanese and English editions differ by one day, so the edition you want decides the date. This guide is about the Japanese edition (the 240-yen pack with Japanese text), and the English official page is the source for the English date and price.

Other dates from the official pages:

• Tournament legality: cards are tournament legal 7 days after release, and legal from the pre-release date at your local game store, per the English page.
• Launch event: the one-piece.com news says a launch event runs nationwide at official shops in Japan from November 21 to December 6, 2026, with exchange gatherings at participating stores (news page).
• Lottery sales: the Japanese page lists a lottery sale at Premium Bandai, with applications accepted from November 6 to November 12, 2026.
• Double Pack: DP-13 contains two OP-18 Booster Packs and one DON!! Card, and its packaging doubles as a card case (DP-13 page).

Our English vs Japanese OP-18 release comparison goes deeper on the one-day gap and the price difference.

Where does Robin sit in the OP-18 pack structure?

Robin OP18-031 is one of 127+1 card types, in packs of 6 cards. The Japanese and Asia English pages give the full rarity breakdown by card type.

Source: Asia English OP-18 page, matching the Japanese page. The breakdown is by card type, not by how often a type appears in packs, and the pages give no pull odds.

Robin’s Super Alt Art status is a label on the card, not a row in this table. The English and Asia English pages add that multiples of one card may appear and that a full set may be hard to assemble.

The table shows the shape of the set. Six Leader cards, three Secret Rares and one Treasure Rare make the top of the list small, while the Commons (45) and Uncommons (30) make up 75 of the 127 types in the breakdown.

For the odds question, see our OP-18 pull rates article, which keeps to what is official.

How does Robin compare with the other OP-18 alt arts?

Robin is the Super Alt Art card, while the other special arts belong to Saint Gunko and Saint Shamrock. Each has its own label in the official text, so they do not share the same title.

Saint Gunko and Saint Shamrock make their ONE PIECE CARD GAME debut in this set, according to the English page.

The Asia English page also names OP17-119 Loki as a 4th Anniversary alt art alongside OP18-065 Saint Gunko. That card belongs to OP-17, not OP-18, so it is a neighbor for context only.

For the full run of alternates, see our OP-18 chase cards guide and the Secret Rares and Amano alt art article.

What about the Ms. All Sunday cards next to Robin?

The official OP-18 lists include a separate Leader named Ms. All Sunday, OP18-041, with two combo cards of its own. This guide treats them as their own subject and points to a dedicated page.

The English page lists these cards for the Ms. All Sunday Leader:

• OP18-041 Ms. All Sunday (Leader)
• OP18-046 Mr.0 & Ms. All Sunday (combo card)
• OP18-048 Mr.1 & Miss Doublefinger (combo card)

OP18-031 is the card named Nico Robin. The Leader OP18-041 and the combo card OP18-046 use the Ms. All Sunday name in the official lists, so check both names when you look through the set.

Other Leaders in the set are Karoo (OP18-001), Franky (OP18-021), Saint Gunko (OP18-060) and Spandam (OP18-079), according to the English page. The Japanese page lists OP18-079 as Shark Submerge 3 under the Spandam heading in its leader section. Our Franky guide covers one of them.

What can I buy today while waiting for Robin OP18?

You can buy booster boxes from other One Piece sets today: OP-16, OP-15 and OP-14. These are different sets and contain no OP-18 cards. They are listed here only as related Japanese One Piece sets.

Three of the four rows above are Damaged Box listings, as their names say. Read the product page before you choose, because the page is the source for the box condition.

If you want a box from a released set, use the OP-14, OP-15 or OP-16 pages above. For OP-18 and Robin OP18-031, follow the official pages and our guides until the set is out.

How do shipping and payment work for orders from Japan?

Orders ship from Japan by FedEx, and payment is in Japanese yen. These points come from our shipping policy and payment methods page.

After handoff to FedEx, customs and carrier timing are outside our control, and the policy says that such transit delays do not by themselves create a right to cancel or refund after dispatch. Read the full policy before you order, especially the delivery-estimate notice.

How should I follow Robin OP18 until release?

Follow the official OP-18 page for the Japanese edition and the English page if you plan to buy that edition. They are the sources for the card details used in this guide.

A short checklist for the Robin card:

1. Search by number. Use OP18-031. Names vary between languages and pages; the number does not.
2. Pick your edition. Japanese edition packs cost 240 yen and release November 21; English packs are $4.99 MSRP and release November 20.
3. Check the card text on the finished card. The official pages call their images development images that may differ from the final product.
4. Note the Leader pairing. Robin OP18-031 is a combo card for the Monkey.D.Luffy Leader (OP18-022), with OP18-118 Monkey.D.Luffy as the other combo card.
5. Do not assume a full set is easy. The English and Asia English pages say a full set may be hard to assemble because multiples of one card may appear.

The set also ties into the wider release calendar. Official related products on the Japanese page include OP-17 (The World’s Strongest Warriors), EB-05 (ONE PIECE Heroines Edition vol.2) and Starter Decks ST-37 and ST-38. Our EB-05 vs OP-18 article and OP-18 vs OP-17 article compare them for box buyers, and the OP-18 card list article tracks revealed cards.

The English store tournament adds a date to watch. The OP-18 Store Tournament (4th Anniversary Event) runs November 20 to December 17, 2026. Participation prizes include the 4th Anniversary Tournament Pack (75 types in total), the 4th Anniversary Promo Card P-161 Monkey.D.Luffy, a 4th Anniversary Leader Card and World United DON!! Cards (EN_03 and EN_04). The winner prize is P-161 Monkey.D.Luffy in Silver foil with a Gold stamp (event page).

Bottom line on Robin OP18

Robin OP18 means one card: OP18-031 Nico Robin, the Super Alt Art of The Dominance of God, linked to the Monkey.D.Luffy Leader as a combo card. Plan around November 21 for the Japanese edition and November 20 for the English one, and confirm card details against the finished card. In the meantime, our OP-18 pre-order guide and next-set article keep the wider picture in view.
