Quick answer: EB-05 is the set code for ONE PIECE Heroines Edition vol.2, an Extra Booster for the Japanese ONE PIECE Card Game. To place an EB-05 Japanese pre-order from outside Japan, reserve the sealed 24-pack box on a Japan-based shop's listing, such as PokeNinJapan's EB-05 Japanese booster box pre-order page, then complete checkout. The box ships internationally after the Japanese release day, and the release timing and final price are confirmed on the product page.
Key takeaways
- EB-05 belongs to the ONE PIECE Card Game's Extra Booster (EB) line, which runs alongside the numbered OP main sets.
- Each Japanese EB-05 box contains 24 sealed booster packs with Japanese-language cards.
- PokeNinJapan lists the EB-05 Japanese box as a pre-order and ships worldwide directly from Japan.
- Pre-ordered boxes ship after the Japanese release day. Any in-stock items in the same order wait and ship with the box.
- As "vol.2," EB-05 continues an earlier Heroines Edition, so it is a natural follow-up for collectors of that theme.
What Is EB-05 ONE PIECE Heroines Edition Vol.2?
Heroines Edition vol.2 is a Japanese Extra Booster in the ONE PIECE Card Game. It sits outside the numbered OP main sets and continues an earlier Heroines Edition release. Confirmed contents are listed on the product page and Bandai's official card list.
Where EB-05 Fits in the Extra Booster Line
"EB" stands for Extra Booster. Bandai uses this line for themed releases that sit alongside the main OP-series boosters (OP-01 onward). The first entry in the line was Extra Booster Memorial Collection EB-01, which released in Japan on January 27, 2024. EB-01 gives a useful sense of how an Extra Booster box is built:
- 24 packs per box, 6 cards per pack
- 61 card types: 3 Leader, 28 Common, 21 Rare, 8 Super Rare, 1 Secret Rare
- Parallel cards on top of the base card list
EB-05 shares the 24-pack box size, according to its product listing. Don't assume the rest of EB-01's structure carries over. Cards per pack, card count and rarity tiers for EB-05 should be checked on the product page or Bandai's official site.
What the Heroines Theme Means for Collectors
The name says it all. Heroines Edition is built around ONE PIECE's female characters, and "vol.2" marks it as a second installment of that concept. If you collected the earlier Heroines Edition, EB-05 extends the same theme. That matters to character collectors who build binders or display sets around a single crew member or a group of characters.
This guide doesn't list specific featured cards, because the confirmed card list comes from Bandai. Check the official card list before deciding whether you want a box to open or individual singles later.
How Do You Pre-Order EB-05 From Outside Japan?
Open the EB-05 box listing on PokeNinJapan, check the release timing, quantity limits and pricing notes, then reserve it at checkout with your international address. The sealed box ships from Japan after the Japanese release day, with tracking.
Step 1: Open the EB-05 Japanese Box Pre-Order Page
Go to the "Pre-order {BOX} ONE PIECE TCG: ONE PIECE Heroines Edition vol.2 EB-05" listing linked at the top of this guide. You can also browse the full pre-order collection to see other upcoming TCG products. If the listing shows a Notify Me option, sign up. The listing states that this alerts you when inventory is added, which is the moment reservations open up.
Step 2: Check the Listing Details Before You Reserve
The EB-05 listing includes several notes that affect your order. Read them before you pay:
- Format: one sealed Japanese booster box containing 24 packs.
- Pricing: the listing states the price will be finalized once arrival information is received, and that the item cannot be bought at the placeholder price. Check the product page for the current price.
- Price changes: the listing states there is no refund if the price drops after you order.
- Release and shipping timing: orders containing this item ship after its release day.
- Quantity limits: any per-customer limit appears on the product page or at checkout.
Japanese ONE PIECE allocations have often been tight for popular releases, so many collectors reserve as soon as stock is added. That reflects general hobby experience, not a confirmed statement about EB-05's print run.
Step 3: Check Out and Confirm Your Shipping Address
Add the box to your cart and complete checkout. Double-check the shipping address, especially apartment numbers and postal codes, because the parcel travels internationally after release. Available payment methods are shown at checkout. Cancellation and refund terms are on the store's policy pages, so read those instead of relying on assumptions.
Step 4: What Happens Between Pre-Order and Release
Your order stays reserved until the box releases in Japan. One rule matters here: the store notes that if an order includes a pre-order item, the whole order ships together after release. For example, if you add an in-stock EB-01 box to your EB-05 pre-order, the EB-01 box waits too. Place a separate order for anything you want sooner. If an item's own description gives a different schedule, that schedule takes precedence.
Step 5: Shipment From Japan and Tracking
Once EB-05 releases and stock arrives, the box ships from Japan to your address. Keep your order confirmation and tracking details, and inspect the box on arrival (see the authenticity checklist below).
What Should You Expect From the EB-05 Japanese Booster Box?
Expect a factory-sealed Japanese display box of 24 booster packs, with Japanese-language cards and Japanese packaging. Cards per pack, total card count and rarity tiers are not covered here. Confirm them on the product page or Bandai's official card list.
Sealed Japanese Display Box Format
A display box holds individual sealed packs inside an outer box, and Japanese boxes are typically sold factory-sealed. That format suits two kinds of buyers:
- Openers who want to pull the full set themselves, often with a box's worth of packs as a starting point toward a complete set.
- Sealed collectors who keep the box unopened as a display piece or long-term hold.
This guide doesn't speculate on pull rates or chase cards. The rarity structure has to come from Bandai's official information.

Is the Japanese EB-05 Box Worth It Over Waiting for English?
For collectors who want the Japanese release, earlier access and Japanese print, the Japanese box is the direct route. No English version of Heroines Edition vol.2 is confirmed in this guide, so waiting means waiting on an announcement that may or may not match the Japanese set.
Language, Card Quality and Gameplay Use
- Language: all card text is in Japanese, so players will need card translations or the official card list to read effects.
- Print quality: many collectors prefer Japanese print quality and cut consistency, which is a common reason to buy Japanese product.
- Timing: Japanese ONE PIECE sets have historically released before their English counterparts. Treat that as a pattern, not a guarantee for any specific set.
- Gameplay: whether Japanese-language cards are allowed at events depends on the organizer. Check your local store or event rules before building a tournament deck around them.
English Availability: What Is and Isn't Confirmed
This guide does not confirm whether EB-05 will release in English, when that might happen, or under what name or code. English ONE PIECE products don't always keep the same set code or exact contents as the Japanese release, so verify through Bandai's official announcements before assuming the two match. If you specifically want the Japanese Heroines Edition vol.2, reserving the Japanese box removes that uncertainty.
EB-05 Japanese Pre-Order: Shop Listings vs Marketplace Listings — Which Is Safer?
A Japan-based shop pre-order is usually more predictable, because the shop sources its own allocation and states release and shipping terms on the listing. Marketplace pre-orders depend on an individual seller securing stock later, so terms vary from listing to listing.
How a Japan-Based Shop Pre-Order Works
Search results for this set mix marketplace pre-order listings with shop product pages. Both can work, but the mechanics differ. A dedicated shop lists the product, states how pricing and shipping timing are handled, and ships from its own stock after release. The EB-05 listing does this explicitly: it explains when the price is finalized, that orders ship after release day, and how combined orders are handled. A marketplace seller may be reselling a reservation they haven't received yet, so details depend entirely on that individual seller.
Questions to Ask Any Pre-Order Seller
- Is the seller based in Japan and shipping from Japan?
- Does the listing explicitly say it's the Japanese EB-05 / Heroines Edition vol.2 box?
- Does it state the release timing and when your order will ship?
- Does it explain how the final price is set and what happens if it changes?
- Will the parcel have tracking?
- Is the cancellation and refund policy written down and easy to find?
If a listing can't answer these questions, keep looking before you pay.
Buying EB-05 From Japan: Shipping, Customs and Authenticity
Buying the EB-05 box from Japan means one international shipment after release, possible import charges set by your country, and a quick seal-and-branding check when it arrives. Ordering from an established Japan-based shop keeps every step traceable.
Worldwide Shipping From Japan
PokeNinJapan is based in Japan and has shipped worldwide since 2020, with 50,000+ orders delivered. Your EB-05 box ships from Japan once the release stock arrives. Shipping options and delivery details for your country are shown at checkout and in the store's shipping information.
Import Duties and Customs in Your Country
Import duties and taxes depend on where you live. Each country sets its own thresholds and rates, and charges are usually collected when the parcel enters your country. Check your local customs authority and the store's shipping information before ordering, so any fees don't come as a surprise at delivery.
How to Make Sure Your Box Is Authentic
When the box arrives, check it before opening:
- Factory sealing: the seal should be intact, with no tears, re-taping or loose wrap.
- Japanese Bandai packaging: the box text and branding should be in Japanese, matching the Japanese ONE PIECE Card Game release.
- Correct set branding: confirm the box shows EB-05 / ONE PIECE Heroines Edition vol.2 and not a different Extra Booster.
- Pack count: if you open it, there should be 24 packs, matching the listing.
Buying from an established Japan-based seller is the simplest way to avoid resealed or misrepresented boxes. When you're ready, head to the EB-05 Japanese box listing linked at the top of this guide to sign up for alerts or reserve your box. If you're building out the Extra Booster line, the store also carries EB-01 Memorial Collection boxes, with both in-stock and pre-order listings.
FAQ
When does EB-05 Heroines Edition vol.2 release in Japan?
Check the PokeNinJapan product page and Bandai's official ONE PIECE Card Game site for the confirmed Japanese release date. Pre-ordered boxes ship after that release day, so the date on the listing is the one that matters for your order.
Will EB-05 be released in English?
This guide doesn't confirm whether, when, or under what name or code an English version will appear. Follow Bandai's official announcements, and don't assume an English set will share the same code or card list as the Japanese release.
How many packs are in the Japanese EB-05 booster box?
The product listing states that one box contains 24 packs. Check the product page or Bandai's official card list for the number of cards per pack and the rarity breakdown.
Can I order more than one EB-05 box?
Any per-customer quantity limit is shown on the product page or at checkout. Check it before you reserve, especially if you want one box to open and one to keep sealed.
When will my pre-ordered EB-05 box ship?
It ships after the Japanese release day. If the same order also contains in-stock items, those items wait and ship with the box. Place a separate order for anything you want sooner.
Do I have to pay import duties when buying the EB-05 box from Japan?
That depends on your country's customs rules and thresholds. Check your local customs authority and the store's shipping information before ordering, because any duties or taxes are charged when the parcel enters your country.
Can I use Japanese EB-05 cards outside Japan?
For collecting, yes. For tournament play, check the rules of your local store or event organizer on Japanese-language cards before building a deck around them.
