EB-03 Special Rares: Why Everyone Is Talking About Them
Collectors and competitive players are calling EB-03’s Special Rares the best in the game so far, even compared to OP-12 and OP-13. Compared to previous EB sets, EB-03 introduces new SPs and the designs are incredible.
Why these SPs stand out
New art treatments that feel premium on display
Popular characters that already have strong collector demand
Real playability behind several of the SPs
Top SP highlights mentioned by the community
Uta (UT): Red 5-cost version with both a Special Rare and an Alt Art.
If your Leader is Uta, draw 2 cards, then play a character with 6000 power or less that has no base effect.
Vivi: A crowd favorite with blocker and strong tempo effect.
Play a cost 5 or lower Alabasta or Straw Hat character from hand, then you cannot play more characters for the rest of the turn.
Tashigi: Green 4-cost, 6000 power with blocker and cannot be KO’d by effects during the opponent’s turn.
Can rest one DON!! and discard a card to ready itself for another use.
Perona: Black 4-cost, 6000 blocker.
On play, attach a rested DON!! to your Leader or character. With 10 or more cards in trash, play a 2-cost or lower Thriller Bark character from trash.
Koala: Black 4-cost that counts as 8 cost for Revolutionary Army effects.
When KO’d, play a 6-cost or lower Nico Robin or Revolutionary from hand or trash.
Nico Robin: 7-cost, 8000 power.
Trash 1 life, then if your Leader is Straw Hat, put 2 cards from your deck into life. On your opponent’s turn, if KO’d, deal 1 damage.
Nami: 5-cost, 6000 power.
Give one rested DON!! to your Leader, and if your opponent has 3 or more life, they must add a life to their hand. On KO, reveal a life and play a 6000 or lower character from hand.

Best Cards to Watch for Competitive Play
Beyond the artwork, EB-03 includes cards that will shake up tournament decks.
Raiu (Sanji support, Purple): 5-cost, 5000 power, on-play DON!! -1. If your Leader is Sanji, activate the main effect of an event in your trash that costs 7 or less.Example: Gum-Gum Red Rock can be replayed from the trash, giving Sanji decks massive value.
Perona and Koala (Black): Both synergize with trash mechanics, giving Black decks more recursion options.
Nami (Yellow): Forces opponents to pick up life, creating powerful tempo swings.
Vivi: Cheats mid-curve Alabasta or Straw Hat cards into play for explosive turns.
Tashigi: Provides green with an effect-immune blocker that can attack and defend in the same cycle.
These cards bring new depth to several color archetypes and will likely define the early 2026 meta.
