Card Rarity Guide

Pull rates, rarity ladders, and what to look for in every set we carry.

Japanese-market print of Bandai's Union Arena TCG for Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. Card codes begin with UA, for example UA05BT for Vol. 1. Card text is printed in Japanese. These are the original-language prints, and they usually carry a higher value in the collector market. Every booster pack contains 12 cards. A sealed booster box contains 16 packs, which is 192 cards in total. A sealed case contains 16 boxes. Pull rates are counted per box, not per pack. A box that gives four Super Rares spreads them randomly across the 16 packs. Cards above the Super Rare tier are case-level pulls and are not guaranteed inside any single box.

English-market print of the same Union Arena TCG. Card codes begin with UE, for example UE05BT for Vol. 1. Card text is printed in English for international play. The card numbers, rarity ladder, and chase program are the same as the Japanese print, but this is a separate print run and trades differently in the collector market. English prints usually sell at a lower ceiling than Japanese prints of the same card. Every booster pack contains 12 cards. A sealed booster box contains 16 packs, which is 192 cards in total. A sealed case contains 16 boxes. Pull rates are counted per box, not per pack. Cards above the Super Rare tier are case-level pulls and are not guaranteed inside any single box.

Japanese-market print of JJK Union Arena. Card codes begin with UA, for example UA02BT for Vol. 1. Card text is printed in Japanese. The signature chase card of the set is a gold-foil serial-numbered SR Three-Star Yuji Itadori, and only 100 copies exist in the world. Every booster pack contains 12 cards. A sealed booster box contains 16 packs, which is 192 cards in total. A sealed case contains 16 boxes. Pull rates are counted per box, not per pack. Cards above the Super Rare tier are case-level pulls and are not guaranteed inside any single box.

English-market print of JJK Union Arena. Card codes begin with UE, for example UE03BT. Card text is printed in English. The rarity ladder and the gold-foil serial-numbered Three-Star Yuji Itadori chase card are the same as the Japanese print. English starter decks also include an exclusive alt-art SR at a low pull rate, which works as a collector incentive to buy more than one starter. Every booster pack contains 12 cards. A sealed booster box contains 16 packs, which is 192 cards in total. A sealed case contains 16 boxes. Pull rates are counted per box, not per pack. Cards above the Super Rare tier are case-level pulls and are not guaranteed inside any single box.

Japanese-market print of AOT Union Arena. Card codes begin with UA, for example UA23BT for Vol. 1 and UAEX10 for Vol. 2. Card text is printed in Japanese. AOT has a chase program unique to this licence. SR Two-Star and SR Three-Star cards carry foil-stamped Japanese voice actor autographs, and each set also includes a serial-numbered hand-signed AP card, where the voice actor's actual pen mark is printed directly on the card rather than a foil stamp. Every booster pack contains 12 cards. A sealed booster box contains 16 packs, which is 192 cards in total. A sealed case contains 16 boxes. Pull rates are counted per box, not per pack. Cards above the Super Rare tier are case-level pulls and are not guaranteed inside any single box.

Masters is the core Dragon Ball Super Card Game and has been running since 2017. When Bandai launched Fusion World in 2024, the original game was renamed as Masters. Set codes use BT for the Zenkai era and earlier, and UB for the Ultimate Box era, for example BT16 for Realm of the Gods and UB02 for Fearsome Rivals. Masters has the longest back catalogue, the widest rarity ladder, and the highest-value grail cards in the entire Dragon Ball TCG ecosystem. Every booster pack contains 12 cards. A sealed booster box contains 24 packs, which is 288 cards in total. A sealed case contains 12 boxes. Pull structure is consistent across recent sets. Every box is expected to give around 5 Super Rares, 2 Special Rares, and 1 Box Topper, with Secret Rares and God Rares appearing at the case level.

Fusion World is the newer Dragon Ball card game from Bandai, launched globally in 2024 as a faster and simpler companion to Masters. Cards from Masters cannot be played in Fusion World and vice versa. They are two separate games and two separate collections. Set codes use FB for standard booster packs (FB01, FB02, and so on), and SB for the Manga Booster series, which introduced the Ultra Alt-Art tier. Every booster pack contains 12 cards. A sealed booster box contains 24 packs, which is 288 cards in total. A sealed case contains 12 boxes. Each pack is guaranteed to have at least one Rare or higher, and every 10 packs is guaranteed to have at least one Super Rare or higher. Fusion World sets include multiple alt-art layers: standard Alt-Art, Super Alt-Art with gold foil, and Ultra Alt-Art.

Dragon Ball Super Divers is the digital arcade card game from Bandai, launched in Japan in November 2024. Physical cards are dispensed from arcade machines at participating game centres. Divers is a separate product from Masters and Fusion World, with its own rarity ladder and its own collector market. Set codes begin with SDV, for example SDV6-076 for a card from the sixth set. Divers cards are obtained through arcade play, not from sealed booster packs. The pull mechanics are tied to gameplay sessions and include gacha-style events. Shenron events trigger when a player gathers all seven Dragon Balls in-game, and Jackpot events unlock rare Extra Rare cards. This is why Divers pull rates are described per set and per event, rather than per box.

Super Dragon Ball Heroes (SDBH) is Bandai's Japan-only arcade and promotional card game, running since 2010. SDBH is a separate product from Masters, Fusion World, and Divers, with its own rarity ladder and its own collector market. All SDBH cards are in Japanese. The top tiers use Ultimate Rare (UR) and Secret Rare (SEC) instead of Super Rare and God Rare, with parallel and legacy variants carrying the highest prices in the Japanese market. SDBH cards come from several product lines. Meteor Mission (MM) and Universe Mission (UM) are the main booster releases. UVPJ codes are promotional cards given with V Jump and Saikyo Jump magazines. PUMS codes are Ultimate Heroes Booster promotional waves, often available in "with golden" (foil) and "without golden" (non-foil) versions of the same card. Rarity symbols are printed directly on the card face.

Bandai's One Piece Card Game launched in 2022 and has quickly become one of the most collected TCGs in the world. Set codes use the OP prefix for main booster packs (OP01 through OP14 and beyond), EB for Extra Booster sets, PRB for Premium Booster sets, and P for promotional cards. Matches are built around a Leader card, with DON!! energy cards used to activate skills and attacks. The rarity system is one of the most layered of any card game we carry, with multiple chase variants sitting above the base Secret Rare, including three distinct versions of every Secret Rare (V1 standard, V2 alt-art, and V3 Manga Rare), plus Special Rares, Golden Manga Rares introduced in OP09, and the Golden DON!! energy card variants from PRB01. English packs contain 12 cards, Japanese packs contain 6 cards, but both versions come in booster boxes of 24 packs. Japanese prints often trade at a higher ceiling in the collector market, and every product page on The Kollektor specifies the print language. Pull rates are counted per box, not per pack, and the highest-rarity cards like Manga Rares and Golden Manga Rares appear at the case level, not the box level.
