One Piece Card Game x Round1 Brings 10 Exclusive Straw Hat Promo Cards to the US and Japan

One Piece Card Game collectors have a genuinely new way to chase exclusive cards this summer, and it's happening at the arcade rather than the card shop. Confirmed via Round1's own official announcement, reported by Rafu Shimpo and SNKRDUNK Magazine and cross-referenced with essential-japan.com's coverage of the same reveal, Round1 and Bandai's ONE PIECE CARD GAME have launched their first-ever simultaneous US-Japan collaboration, introducing 10 original promo cards found nowhere else.

The collaboration spans 59 Round1 locations across the US and 100 across Japan, running as a limited-time campaign into the fall. Here's what's confirmed.

What's Confirmed About the Round1 Promo Cards

Round1's official announcement, as reported by Rafu Shimpo and SNKRDUNK Magazine, confirms the following:

  • 10 completely original card designs created specifically for this collaboration
  • Each pack contains 1 random card from 10 possible Straw Hat Pirates designs: Monkey D. Luffy, Roronoa Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, Tony Tony Chopper, Nico Robin, Franky, Brook, and Jinbe
  • First-ever TV anime collaboration Round1 has launched simultaneously in both Japan and the United States
  • US Phase 1 purchase period: July 18, 2026 through July 24, 2026 at participating venues
  • In the US, one promo card is distributed per $20 reload made to a Round1 Game Card, up to 10 cards per registered visit
  • In Japan, any collaboration menu item purchase includes one randomly selected promo card while supplies last
  • The overall campaign runs through October 17, 2026
  • 27 exclusive merchandise items and prizes with newly created artwork are also part of the collaboration

A Genuinely New Way to Pull Exclusive Cards

Unlike most One Piece Card Game promos, which come bundled with booster boxes or organized play events, these 10 designs are tied entirely to visiting a Round1 location and either reloading a Game Card or ordering from the collaboration menu. That makes this drop meaningfully different from a standard set release, and collectors who don't already visit Round1 for bowling or arcade games may want to plan a trip specifically for this.

Ten Cards, One Full Crew

Covering all ten members of the Straw Hat Pirates in a single promo lineup is notable on its own, since most One Piece promo waves focus on two or three characters at most. That completeness gives collectors a clear checklist goal: pulling the entire crew rather than chasing a single chase card.

Protecting Promo Pulls From a Non-Standard Release

Since these cards are handed out individually rather than inside sealed boosters, protecting each pull immediately matters more than usual.

For sleeving each promo card the moment you receive it, EVORETRO's Perfect Fit inner sleeves give a snug first layer of protection sized for standard trading cards.

For longer-term storage and display, EVORETRO's toploaders, available in 35pt through 180pt thicknesses, keep each Straw Hat design rigid and visible.

Common Mistakes Collectors Make

  • Assuming these promo cards will show up in regular booster boxes or online singles listings
  • Not registering ahead of a visit, since eligible participants need to properly register to purchase up to 10 cards
  • Overlooking that the US purchase window (July 18-24) is narrower than the full October 17 campaign end date
  • Skipping immediate sleeving since these cards arrive loose rather than inside sealed packaging

Final Thoughts

The One Piece Card Game x Round1 collaboration gives collectors a genuinely different kind of promo hunt, tying exclusive Straw Hat Pirates designs to an arcade visit rather than a card shop purchase. With a full ten-character crew up for grabs and a defined purchase window, it's worth planning ahead if completing the set matters to you.

Since these promos arrive loose rather than boxed, having sleeves and toploaders ready before you go keeps each pull protected the moment you receive it.
