The “Manga Booster” Phenomenon & DBFW Market Surge
When Bandai dropped MANGA BOOSTER 01 on June 28, 2025, it sent shockwaves through the Dragon Ball Super Card Game Fusion World (DBFW) community. Featuring all-foil prints with artwork pulled directly from Akira Toriyama’s original manga, the set instantly bridged the gap between competitive TCG players and lifelong Dragon Ball fans.
The biggest market drivers right now are the Energy Marker cards. Featuring original tankobon (manga volume) cover art, these cards have become absolute grails for collectors. Driven by deep nostalgia for Toriyama’s legendary artwork and tight supply on sealed boxes, secondary market prices for high-tier DBFW singles continue to reach record highs.
Below is the definitive breakdown of the top 30 most valuable DBFW cards currently on the market.
