Quick answer: A Dragon Ball Fusion World Japanese booster box is a factory-sealed, Japanese-language display of booster packs for Bandai's Dragon Ball Super Card Game Fusion World, a game separate from the original Dragon Ball Super Card Game. PokeNinJapan carries Japanese boxes from the numbered FB main series, the Manga Booster line and Story Booster 01. It also takes pre-orders for FB11 Brightness of Hope and FB12 Reach the God. Every box ships from Japan.
Key takeaways
- Fusion World is a separate game from the original Dragon Ball Super Card Game (Masters), and their card pools cannot be mixed.
- Japanese main booster sets use FB codes, Manga Boosters use SB codes, and Story Booster 01 is listed as ST01.
- Product pages that list contents show 24 packs per box, 6 cards plus 1 code per pack, and 12 boxes per case.
- FB11 Brightness of Hope and FB12 Reach the God are listed as pre-orders at PokeNinJapan.
- Set names can differ between Japanese and English releases, so always match boxes by set code.
What Is a Dragon Ball Fusion World Japanese Booster Box?
You're buying factory-sealed Japanese packs that work only in Fusion World, not in the original Dragon Ball Super Card Game. Each box carries a set code that starts with FB, SB or ST. That code tells you which expansion is inside and lets you match the box to Bandai's official card list.
Fusion World vs the Original Dragon Ball Super Card Game
Bandai runs two different Dragon Ball card games, and search results often mix them together:
- Dragon Ball Super Card Game (often called "Masters"): the original game, with its own rules and card pool. Its booster sets generally use BT-style codes.
- Dragon Ball Super Card Game Fusion World: Bandai's newer game. Each deck is built around a Leader card, and the game has a digital version. That's why Japanese Fusion World packs list "6 cards + 1 code" on PokeNinJapan's product pages.
Cards from one game can't be played in the other. Before you buy, look for the Fusion World logo and an FB, SB or ST code on the listing. A box listed only as "Dragon Ball Super booster box" with no code could belong to either game.
How Japanese Set Codes Work (FB, SB and Story Booster)
- FB + number: the main booster series. PokeNinJapan lists Japanese boxes from FB01 through FB12, with FB11 and FB12 as pre-orders.
- SB + number: the Manga Booster line, numbered separately from the FB series. Two boxes are listed: SB01 and SB02.
- ST01: the code on PokeNinJapan's Story Booster 01 box. The listing confirms it is the Japanese version.
Which Japanese Fusion World Sets Can You Buy?
PokeNinJapan lists Japanese boxes for the ten main sets from FB01 to FB10, pre-orders for FB11 and FB12, two Manga Booster boxes (SB01 and SB02) and Story Booster 01. Match each box to its card list by set code rather than by English name.

Pre-Orders: FB11 Brightness of Hope and FB12 Reach the God
FB11 Brightness of Hope and FB12 Reach the God are both listed as pre-orders. The pre-order section below covers how they ship and what the FB11 listing says so far.
Special Lines: Manga Booster SB01, SB02 and Story Booster 01
- Manga Booster 01 (SB01): 24 packs per box, 6 cards plus 1 code per pack. The listing also includes Energy Marker cards.
- Manga Booster 02 (SB02): same 24-pack format, released November 8, 2025 according to the listing, with 21 Energy Marker types.
- Story Booster 01 (ST01): a separate Japanese product. Check its product page for contents and availability.
What Comes Inside a Japanese Fusion World Box?
Four listings state their contents: FB09, FB10, SB01 and SB02. Each of those boxes holds 24 packs with 6 cards plus 1 code per pack, which works out to 144 physical cards per box. A case holds 12 boxes. For other sets, confirm the pack count on the product page.
Packs, Cards and Rarities
Japanese Fusion World sets use six rarity tiers: Leader, Common, Uncommon, Rare, Super Rare and Secret Rare. Here is how many card types each listing reports per tier:
| Set | Leader | Common | Uncommon | Rare | Super Rare | Secret Rare | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| FB01 Awakening Pulse | 8 | 52 | 36 | 30 | 12 | 2 | 140 card types |
| FB02 Blazing Combat Aura | 4 | 52 | 40 | 30 | 12 | 2 | 144 card types |
| FB04 Ultra Limit | 5 | 45 | 36 | 30 | 12 | 2 | |
| FB05 New Adventure | 5 | 40 | 31 | 30 | 12 | 2 | |
| SB01 Manga Booster 01 | 5 | 37 | 32 | 25 | 10 | 1 | Includes Energy Markers |
| SB02 Manga Booster 02 | 5 | 37 | 32 | 25 | 10 | 2 | 21 Energy Marker types |
A few patterns stand out:
- Secret Rares are the scarcest tier on paper, with only 1 or 2 types per set.
- Every FB set listed above has 12 Super Rare types and 30 Rare types.
- The Manga Boosters have smaller pools: 10 Super Rares and 25 Rares.
The FB09 and FB10 listings show pack and box counts but no rarity breakdown. Use Bandai's official card list for those two sets.
Leader Cards and Parallel/Alternate Art Pulls
Every Fusion World deck is built around one Leader, so the Leader count tells you how many new deck foundations a set adds. FB01 lists 8 Leaders, FB02 lists 4, and FB04, FB05, SB01 and SB02 list 5 each. Parallel and alternate-art versions aren't broken out in these counts, and the listings don't publish pull rates. Don't expect a fixed number of Secret Rares or parallels in a single box. Bandai's official card list is the place to check which parallel versions exist in each set.
How Do Japanese Boxes Differ from English Fusion World Boxes?
Japanese boxes have Japanese packaging and Japanese card text, and some sets carry different names than their English counterparts. Japanese releases often reach shelves before the English equivalents. For both reasons, the set code is the most reliable way to compare the two versions.
Language, Packaging and Card Text
Search for a "Dragon Ball Super Card Game Japanese booster box" and you'll find Fusion World and Masters products side by side. Once you've confirmed a box is Fusion World, the main differences from the English version are:
- All card text and pack wrappers are printed in Japanese.
- Box art and branding follow Bandai's Japanese packaging.
- The code in each pack belongs to the Japanese product, so check how it works with your digital Fusion World account before relying on it.
Release Timing and Set Names
The English names in this guide come from PokeNinJapan's product titles, which translate the Japanese set titles. Bandai's English releases sometimes use a different name for the same code. When you compare a Japanese box with an English one, or look up singles, search by code (for example FB05 or SB02) instead of by name.
Why Collectors Choose Japanese Versions
- Earlier access: Japanese sets often arrive first, so you can open a set before the English release.
- Japanese print and packaging: many collectors want the original-language version of a Dragon Ball game made by a Japanese publisher.
- Complete runs by code: a sealed FB01-to-FB10 shelf in Japanese is a clean, consistent display.
For competitive play, check Bandai's official tournament rules for your region before you build a deck from Japanese cards. Language legality depends on the event type and can change.
Should You Pre-Order the FB11 Japanese Box?
If you want a sealed Fusion World FB11 Japanese box soon after the Japanese release, a pre-order is the most direct route. PokeNinJapan lists both FB11 Brightness of Hope and FB12 Reach the God as pre-orders. Card lists and dates come from the product pages and Bandai's official announcements.
What We Know About FB11 Brightness of Hope
The FB11 product page currently confirms these points:
- It is a pre-order listing with a Notify Me option that alerts you when inventory is added.
- The contents note lists 12 boxes per case and a 24-count box. Check the page for the full pack and card breakdown.
- The price is finalized once PokeNinJapan receives arrival information. If the price drops after you order, there is no refund of the difference.
- Any order that includes FB11 ships after FB11's release day.
The same shipping rule applies across the TCG pre-order collection. If a pre-order item is in your cart, the whole order waits for that release. Order in-stock boxes, such as FB09 or FB10, separately if you want them sooner.
Pre-Ordering FB12 Reach the God Alongside It
FB12 Reach the God is also listed as a pre-order. If you're securing both sets, think about how the orders are grouped. Combining FB11 and FB12 in one order means it ships after both are released. Separate orders let each box ship on its own release schedule. Check the pre-order listings for each set's details before you decide.
How Do You Buy Japanese Dragon Ball Fusion World Cards from Overseas?
To buy Japanese Dragon Ball Fusion World cards safely, order sealed boxes from a Japan-based shop that sources stock locally. When the box arrives, check the shrink wrap, the Bandai and Fusion World branding, and the set code. Marketplace boxes from unknown sellers carry a higher risk of resealing.
Checking a Sealed Japanese Box Is Genuine
- Factory shrink wrap: it should be tight and even, with clean factory seams. Loose, bubbled or heat-gun-style wrap is a warning sign.
- Branding: look for official Bandai branding and the Fusion World logo on the box.
- Set code: the FB, SB or ST code on the box must match the listing you paid for.
- Pack count after opening: for sets whose listings state contents, such as FB09, FB10, SB01 and SB02, you should find 24 packs.
- Seller source: be cautious with sealed boxes from anonymous marketplace sellers. Resealed boxes can hold searched packs.
Ordering and Shipping from Japan
PokeNinJapan is based in Japan, sources its Japanese products locally, and has shipped worldwide since 2020, with more than 50,000 orders delivered. Browse every in-stock Fusion World box and related product in the Dragon Ball TCG collection. Current pricing is on each product page. If you're also pre-ordering FB11 or FB12, place those in a separate order so your in-stock boxes ship right away.
Which Japanese Fusion World Box Should You Start With?
Pick by goal. Players should choose the boxes that contain the Leaders and cards their deck needs. Collectors can work through FB01 to FB10 in order and add the FB11 and FB12 pre-orders. Manga Booster fans should treat SB01 and SB02 as a separate run.
For Players Building Decks
Start from the Leader. Find the Leader you want on Bandai's official card list, note its set code, and buy that box. Then check which formats your local events use, because that decides which sets you need. FB01 lists the most Leader types of the sets above (8), so it's a broad starting point if you want several deck options from one set.
For Collectors Completing a Run of Sets
A complete Japanese FB run covers ten codes so far: Awakening Pulse, Blazing Combat Aura, Roar of Fury, Ultra Limit, New Adventure, The Looming Threat, Wish upon Shenron, The Proud Warrior Race, Dual Evolution and Cross Force. Pre-ordering FB11 Brightness of Hope and FB12 Reach the God keeps the run unbroken. If you're chasing every chase card, note that each listed FB set has only 2 Secret Rare types.
For Fans of the Manga Booster Line
SB01 and SB02 are a distinct line with their own card pools: 5 Leaders, 25 Rares and 10 Super Rares each, plus Energy Markers. SB01 has 1 Secret Rare type and SB02 has 2. Story Booster 01 (ST01) is another separate Japanese product worth adding if you collect beyond the FB series.
FAQ
Can Japanese Fusion World cards be used with the original Dragon Ball Super Card Game?
No. Fusion World and the original Dragon Ball Super Card Game (Masters) are separate games with separate card pools. Fusion World cards, in any language, cannot be mixed into a Masters deck, and Masters cards cannot be used in Fusion World.
Are Japanese and English Fusion World sets the same cards?
Sets are matched by code, such as FB09 or SB02, so the code is the reliable way to compare the two versions. The card text and packaging are Japanese, and set names can differ between languages. Check Bandai's official card lists for each language if you need a card-by-card comparison.
How many packs are in a Japanese Fusion World booster box?
PokeNinJapan's listings for FB09 Dual Evolution, FB10 Cross Force, Manga Booster SB01 and SB02 state 24 packs per box, with 6 cards plus 1 code per pack, and 12 boxes per case. For other sets, check the individual product page.
Can I use Japanese Fusion World cards in tournaments outside Japan?
It depends on Bandai's official tournament rules for your region and event type, which can change. Check the current official Fusion World tournament rules or ask your event organizer before building a competitive deck from Japanese cards.
When will the FB11 Brightness of Hope Japanese box ship?
Orders that include FB11 ship after the set's release day. Check the FB11 product page and Bandai's official announcements for the release date. To receive other items sooner, place them in a separate order.
What is the difference between FB boxes and Manga Booster boxes?
FB boxes are the numbered main booster series, FB01 to FB12. Manga Booster boxes (SB01 and SB02) are a separate line with their own card lists. According to the listings, SB01 and SB02 use 24 packs per box and include Energy Marker cards, with SB02 listing 21 Energy Marker types.
