[Update 14 Nov 2024] This card is now part of a new variant of the Black Smoker deck. As such, its presence in the metagame has increased; it had previously been mainly seen in the Black/Yellow Luffy and Black Lucci decks.

The Pillars of Strength [OP-03] ONE PIECE Card Game set placed much emphasis on the villains of One Piece. Among the set’s standout antagonist cards was this card depicting Issho, the Admiral who was among the Dressrosa Arc’s main antagonists.

This Super Rare Special (SR-SPC) card depicts Issho with Aramaki, another of the Admirals, in front of the Marine Headquarters in New Marineford. Those who follow the One Piece manga closely will have picked up on the fact that this scene must have taken place before the Levely. It was only after the events of the Levely that Aramaki turned against Issho.

This card features alternate artwork that isn’t present on most versions of the card, driving up its value. That fact combined with its high rarity and relevance to the canonical material makes it one of the more notable pulls from Pillars of Strength [OP-03].

This card has already been released in English.

One copy of an Issho (Pillars of Strength [OP-03] OP03-078) card of SR-SPC rarity sells for 2,600 JPY (~US$17).
