One Piece Card Game: Heroines Special Set Lands in the UK on 25 September

The One Piece Card Game calendar is unusually busy this autumn, with multiple distinct releases dropping in quick succession. One that deserves its own spotlight is the Heroines Special Set, confirmed for UK release on 25 September 2026 — and it is worth knowing exactly how it fits into the broader product landscape before you spend.

What Is the Heroines Special Set?

The Heroines Special Set is a curated, standalone product celebrating the female characters of One Piece. It arrives in the UK about a month before the separate Extra Booster EB-05: Heroines Edition Vol. 2, which is slated for October 2026. These are two entirely different products — the Special Set is a packaged collection rather than a standard booster display, so do not confuse the two when pre-ordering.

The set sits alongside a broader wave of One Piece releases that has already included OP-17 The World's Strongest Warriors and Double Pack Set DP-12, both of which landed on 28 August. The Heroines Special Set is the next confirmed UK drop, arriving just under a month later.

How It Fits Into the Autumn One Piece Line-Up

Bandai's product calendar for the rest of 2026 is packed. After the Heroines Special Set on 25 September, UK collectors can look forward to:

• EB-05: Heroines Edition Vol. 2 — arriving in October 2026, a full Extra Booster set expanding on the Heroines theme with a wider card pool.
• Mini Case Set Vol. 3 (TS-03) — scheduled for 30 October 2026 in the UK.
• OP-18 — the next main numbered booster set, currently targeting late November 2026 globally, with Bandai promising a long-requested character's debut as a Leader card and multiple themes, including at least one brand new to the card game.

With Bandai now operating on a simultaneous worldwide release model, UK players are no longer waiting weeks behind Japan for major drops — which does mean allocation can move quickly at local game stores.

Should You Pick Up the Heroines Special Set?

If you play a Leader or strategy centred on Nami, Robin, Boa Hancock, or other fan-favourite characters, this kind of curated product tends to include cards directly relevant to those decks. Special Sets from Bandai have historically offered a tighter, themed selection that suits both competitive players looking for specific inclusions and collectors who want a focused piece of One Piece history in card form.

For those primarily chasing EB-05, it is still worth keeping the 25 September release on your radar — the two products complement each other rather than overlap, and UK stock of themed One Piece products has sold through quickly since the global release schedule tightened up.

Check with your local game store or preferred UK TCG retailer now if you want to guarantee a copy. With EB-05 and OP-18 following close behind, autumn 2026 is shaping up to be the most substantial One Piece Card Game season yet for UK players.
