Nico Robin returns as a Leader in the One Piece Card Game's EB-05 set, Extra Booster -ONE PIECE Heroines Edition vol.2-. The card is EB05-010. All of its details come from a pre-release reveal, not from Bandai's official card list.
What Is the EB-05 Nico Robin Leader (EB05-010)?
The EB-05 Nico Robin Leader, EB05-010, is a Green/Yellow Leader with 5000 power and 4 Life. Thornberry Media reports these figures. Card-list sites reading the October 4, 2026 reveal livestream give the same numbers . Those sites also list the card as part of the Straw Hat Crew type, with the Wisdom attribute (source: OPlayTCG, 2026-10) .
Quick Answer: Nico Robin EB05-010 is a Green/Yellow Straw Hat Crew Leader with the Wisdom attribute, 5000 power and 4 Life (per Thornberry Media). Its text is still a pre-release transcription. According to Thornberry Media, EB-05 releases in English on October 30, 2026.
Bandai's official English X account confirmed that "Nico Robin returns as a Leader in EB-05." It also gave October 2026 as the release month (source: ONE PIECE CARD GAME EN on X, 2026-10) . Thornberry Media gives the exact English release date as October 30, 2026.
There is one important caveat. As of about October 6, 2026, Bandai's official card list had no EB-05 entries. The card text now in circulation comes from transcriptions of the reveal livestream by Tier One, Mercard Akihabara, SNKRDUNK and fan databases such as OPlayTCG (source: Samurai Sword Tokyo, 2026-10) . The wording and card numbers could change before the official list is published.
Robin has had a Leader before. The earlier Purple/Yellow Robin Leader, OP09-062, also had 5000 power and 4 Life. EB05-010 is a separate card with different colors and effects (source: Samurai Sword Tokyo, 2026-10) .
| Attribute | Nico Robin EB05-010 (EB-05) | Nico Robin OP09-062 |
|---|---|---|
| Colors | Green/Yellow (per Thornberry Media) | Purple/Yellow |
| Power | 5000 (per Thornberry Media) | 5000 |
| Life | 4 (per Thornberry Media) | 4 |
| Type / attribute | Straw Hat Crew / Wisdom | Not covered in sources cited here |
| Text status | Pre-release livestream transcription | Released card |
The comparison above comes from Samurai Sword Tokyo and OPlayTCG . Because the set has not been released, any Robin decklist built around EB05-010 is still a pre-release test build.
What Do Robin's Two Leader Effects Say?
The EB05-010 Nico Robin Leader has two once-per-turn effects, and both apply only to Characters with the <Wisdom> attribute. The first adds a card to your Life when one of your non-Blocker Wisdom Characters is K.O.'d. The second sets one Wisdom Character with 6000 power or less back to active during your Main Phase. The wording below is OPlayTCG's transcription of the October 4, 2026 reveal livestream . Bandai has not published it on its official card list, so the text may change before release.
"[Once Per Turn] When one of your Characters with the <Wisdom> attribute and without [Blocker] is K.O.'d, add up to 1 card from the top of your deck to the top of your Life cards." — EB05-010 Leader text as transcribed by OPlayTCG
Effect 1: Life gain when a Wisdom Character is K.O.'d
The first effect is a trigger, not something you activate. It goes off when one of your own Wisdom Characters is K.O.'d, as long as that Character does not have [Blocker]. When it does, you put up to 1 card from the top of your deck onto the top of your Life cards. It works only once per turn . Because Blockers are excluded, this effect does nothing for defensive Wisdom bodies. It pays off only when an attacking-style Wisdom Character leaves the field.
Effect 2: Setting a Wisdom Character active
The second effect is labelled [Activate: Main] [Once Per Turn]. It reads: "Set up to 1 of your Characters with the <Wisdom> attribute and 6000 power or less as active" . The power limit applies when the effect resolves. A Wisdom Character above 6000 power cannot be targeted.
- Timing: your Main Phase, once per turn.
- Target: 1 of your Wisdom Characters with 6000 power or less.
- Result: the Character is set from rested to active.
Search-result snippets of TCGplayer's EB-05 preview describe two uses for this effect. You can attack with a Wisdom Character, set it active, and attack with it again. Or you can leave a Wisdom Character standing at the end of your turn instead of rested . These descriptions come from the preview, not from tournament play.
Status of the wording
This text is a pre-release transcription. As of about October 6, 2026, Bandai's official card list had no EB-05 entries. Published text comes from the reveal stream and from fan and retailer transcriptions, including Samurai Sword Tokyo . Check the final wording against Bandai's official card list after the English release before building a deck around exact timing or power limits.
Why Do EB05-010 and EB05-016 Conflict for the Robin Leader?
The Robin Leader appears under two different card numbers in Bandai-linked sources. The reveal images and Bandai's Heroines CUP page print it as EB05-010. Bandai's release-event page lists it as EB05-016, which is the number the reveal images use for a Super Rare Robin Character . According to Samurai Sword Tokyo, the official card list had no EB-05 entries as of about October 6, 2026, so neither number has been confirmed there yet .
The likely explanation is a labelling error on one page. The reveal images give each card a printed collector number, and those images show the Leader as EB05-010 and the green, cost-6 Super Rare Character as EB05-016. Fan databases follow the same split: OPlayTCG's EB05-010 entry is the Leader , and its EB05-016 entry is the 6000-power Character . This is still an inference, and Bandai has not published a correction.
| Source | Number given to Robin Leader | What EB05-016 refers to |
|---|---|---|
| Reveal livestream images (Oct 4, 2026) | EB05-010 | Super Rare Robin Character |
| Bandai Heroines CUP page | EB05-010 | Not used for the Leader |
| Bandai release-event page | EB05-016 | The Leader |
| OPlayTCG fan database | EB05-010 | Super Rare Robin Character |
The mismatch matters most for people trading singles before the October 30, 2026 English release, which Samurai Sword Tokyo reports and the Thornberry Media brief also gives . A preorder or listing under the wrong number could point to the wrong card.
- Working number: Use EB05-010 for the Leader and EB05-016 for the Super Rare Character. This matches the printed reveal images.
- Before buying: Check the card name, card type (Leader or Character) and rarity, not just the number.
- Before listing: Wait for Bandai's official card list, or add the card type to the title (for example "Nico Robin Leader EB05-010").
- After release: Check the number printed on the physical card. That settles the question for your own copies.
Which Robin Card Fuels the Deck: the EB05-016 Super Rare Character?
The card most likely to drive a Robin Leader deck is Nico Robin EB05-016, a green Super Rare Character. On your turn, it can put a second Wisdom Character into play straight from your hand. OPlayTCG's transcription lists it as a cost-6 Character with a +1000 counter . Thornberry Media separately describes it as a 6000-power Wisdom Character that plays another Wisdom Character costing 5 or less from your hand . This text comes from the October 4 reveal stream, not from Bandai's official card list, so the wording may still change.
Here is the card as OPlayTCG currently lists it:
- Color and cost: Green, cost 6
- Power: 6000. Thornberry Media reports the same figure
- Counter: +1000
- Attribute and type: Wisdom; Straw Hat Crew
- Effect: "[Your Turn] [On Play] Play up to 1 Character card with a cost of 5 or less and the <Wisdom> attribute from your hand." Thornberry Media also gives the "5 or less" limit
- Trigger: "Rest up to 1 of your opponent's Characters with a cost of 6 or less."
What the On Play does: Playing EB05-016 puts two bodies on the board in one action: Robin herself and one Wisdom Character costing 5 or less from your hand. That only works if the deck has enough Wisdom Characters at cost 5 or less. If your hand has no Wisdom Character at that cost, the effect does nothing. The "[Your Turn]" condition also means the effect only works when you play the card during your own turn.
What the Trigger does: If EB05-016 is revealed from your Life after you take damage, its Trigger can rest one opposing Character costing 6 or less. The card text does not limit the Trigger to your own turn, so it can come up during your opponent's attacks.
Collector note: According to Samurai Sword Tokyo, Robin is the only heroine in EB-05 with all three of these: a Leader card, a Super Rare Character and a Heroines SP version drawn in the One Piece Heroines anime style . Bandai's official English X account has also promoted Robin's return as a Leader in the set. Two separate cards in this set share the Robin name and art theme. When you list or buy one, confirm both the number and the rarity: SR Character or Heroines SP.
How Would a Wisdom Green/Yellow Deck Work, Based Only on Card Text?
A Green/Yellow Robin deck would be built around Characters with the Wisdom attribute. The Super Rare Robin puts a second Wisdom Character into play. The Leader can set one Wisdom Character back to active once per turn, and it adds a card to your Life when a non-Blocker Wisdom Character is K.O.'d. Everything below comes from pre-release transcriptions of the card text. None of it is based on tournament results, because EB-05 is not out yet. Thornberry Media reports the English release as October 30, 2026 .
Based on the transcribed text, the deck has three main parts. Each one comes from a specific card:
- Board building: Thornberry Media describes the 6000-power Wisdom Character as able to play another Wisdom Character costing 5 or less from your hand. OPlayTCG lists this card as the cost-6 Robin SR. Its effect is limited to [Your Turn] [On Play], so you get two bodies for one card only when you play it on your own turn .
- Re-using attackers: The Leader's [Activate: Main] [Once Per Turn] ability sets up to 1 Wisdom Character with 6000 power or less as active . TCGplayer's preview reads this as letting a Wisdom Character attack twice, or stay active at the end of the turn instead of being left rested.
- Life gain: Once per turn, when one of your Wisdom Characters without [Blocker] is K.O.'d, the Leader adds up to 1 card from the top of your deck to the top of your Life cards . Thornberry Media lists the Leader's starting Life as 4.
Those three parts point to some practical rules for building the deck. They come straight from the card wording:
- Run a high count of Wisdom Characters without [Blocker]. Wisdom Characters that have [Blocker] do not trigger the Leader's Life-add when they are K.O.'d.
- Keep plenty of Wisdom Characters at 6000 power or less. Anything above that power cannot be set active by the Leader.
- Include enough Wisdom Characters that cost 5 or less. Without them in your hand, the Robin SR's On Play has nothing to play.
- Use green and yellow cards only. The Leader is Green/Yellow, per Thornberry Media. Green tends to offer rest and set-active effects, and yellow tends to offer Life and Trigger effects.
The Robin SR also has a Trigger that rests up to 1 of your opponent's Characters with a cost of 6 or less . If it is revealed from your Life, it can still do something useful. A search snippet also mentions a yellow card whose On Play adds a Life card if your Leader has the Wisdom attribute. That card's identity has not been confirmed, so it is not named here. Leave it out of your plans until Bandai's official card list includes EB-05.
These rules describe how the cards are meant to work together. They do not say how strong the deck is. This article makes no claim about tier placement, win rate or popularity. As of early October 2026, Bandai's official card list had no EB-05 entries, so card wording may still change before release .
Are There Confirmed EB05 Robin Decklists Yet?
No. As of mid-October 2026, no one has published an authoritative, confirmed 50-card Nico Robin EB05-010 decklist. The set is not out yet. Thornberry Media gives the English release date as October 30, 2026, and Samurai Sword Tokyo also reports that date . Until then, every Robin list is a pre-release test build made from card text that fans transcribed from the reveal stream.
So far, the closest thing to a decklist is creator testing on YouTube. Matchup videos show the EB-05 Robin Leader against these four Leaders:
- Luffy (OP17)
- Kuzan (OP12)
- Mihawk (OP14)
- Shirahoshi (OP11)
The video descriptions link to short decklist clips (YouTube Shorts) instead of a full written list. One of the channels appears to be Zero Trigger TCG (see the matchup videos on YouTube and YouTube ). These videos are test games. They show how the deck plays, but they are not tournament results.
One partial test list showed up in a search snippet. It is cut off partway through, and the page it came from could not be confirmed. The card numbers it lists are OP18-031, EB05-016, OP13-031, OP15-032, OP09-102, OP09-106, OP17-109, OP15-113, EB03-053, EB04-058 and OP15-119. Most were listed at four copies, but the list ends after those entries. Keep three things in mind before using it:
- Single source: no second source repeats the list.
- Incomplete: it ends well before 50 cards.
- Unchecked: the card numbers have not been matched to card names. Some of them may not be Wisdom Characters or green/yellow cards.
Use it only as an example of what testers are trying. Do not treat it as a build to copy.
Card counts are likely to change once real event data arrives. As Thornberry Media notes, ratios will probably shift after the October 30 English release, when tournament results start coming in. Bandai's official release-event page reportedly runs shop events from October 31 to November 15, 2026 . Those events are the earliest likely source of lists that have been played in real games. Until then, the Leader and SR text covered earlier is the more reliable guide for building the deck.
What Are the Other Six EB-05 Leaders and the Release Dates?
EB-05 has seven Leaders. Nico Robin is the only new one, and the other six are older heroine Leaders reprinted with new art. Thornberry Media reports the seven-Leader count, and Bandai's product page lists 7 Leader types . According to Samurai Sword Tokyo, each reprint keeps its original card number. Players who already own those Leaders get alternate art, not new effects.
| Leader | Card Number | Color | Status in EB-05 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nico Robin | EB05-010 | Green/Yellow | New Leader |
| Shirahoshi | OP11-022 | Green/Yellow | Reprint, new art |
| Nami | OP11-041 | Blue/Yellow | Reprint, new art |
| Nefeltari Vivi | EB03-001 | Red/Blue | Reprint, new art |
| Jewelry Bonney | OP13-100 | Yellow | Reprint, new art |
| Rebecca | OP15-039 | Blue | Reprint, new art |
| Boa Hancock | OP14-041 | Blue/Yellow | Reprint, new art |
The reprint list above comes from Samurai Sword Tokyo's EB-05 Leader breakdown . Robin's colors are as reported by Thornberry Media.
The English and Japanese releases are one day apart. Thornberry Media gives October 30, 2026 as the English release date. Retailer write-ups that cite Bandai's English product page list the same date at USD $4.99 per pack . The Japanese details, as compiled by onepiece.app and Samurai Sword Tokyo, are:
- Japanese release: Saturday, October 31, 2026
- Japanese price and format: ¥240 per pack, 6 cards per pack, 24 packs per box
- Japanese card list (reported): 7 Leaders, 29 Commons, 21 Rares, 9 Super Rares, 1 Secret Rare, 8 Special cards and 2 DON!! cards
- English pack size: not confirmed. Some retailers list 12 cards per pack, but the official English page reportedly gives no per-pack count
- Release shop events: October 31 to November 15, 2026, per Bandai's event page as reported
Takeaway: Robin EB05-010 is the only new Leader in EB-05. Bandai had not added any EB-05 cards to its official card list as of early October 2026, so check the final card text and numbering there after the October 30 English release. If you are building Green/Yellow Robin, treat any list made before release as a starting point. Re-check it against the official card text and the decklists from the first shop events.
Frequently Asked Questions
What colors, power and Life does the EB05-010 Nico Robin Leader have?
Thornberry Media reports that the EB05-010 Nico Robin Leader is Green/Yellow, with 5000 power and 4 Life. Card-list sites that transcribed the October 4 reveal give the same figures. They also list it as a Straw Hat Crew card with the Wisdom attribute , according to OPlayTCG. These numbers come from pre-release transcriptions. They are not yet confirmed by Bandai's official card list.
Is the EB-05 Robin the same as the OP09-062 Robin Leader?
No. OP09-062 is an older Purple/Yellow Nico Robin Leader. EB05-010 is a separate Green/Yellow card with its own effects. The two Leaders do share 4 Life and 5000 power , according to Samurai Sword Tokyo. They are not interchangeable, and a deck built for one Leader will not work under the other.
Is Robin's Leader number EB05-010 or EB05-016?
Sources disagree. The reveal images and Bandai's Heroines CUP page print the Leader as EB05-010. Bandai's release-event page lists it as EB05-016, but the reveal images use that number for the Nico Robin Super Rare Character , according to Samurai Sword Tokyo. Wait for Bandai's official card list before treating either number as final.
When does EB-05 release?
Thornberry Media gives October 30, 2026 as the English release date for EB-05 (Extra Booster -ONE PIECE Heroines Edition vol.2-). Retailer write-ups list the English packs at USD $4.99 , per Samurai Sword Tokyo. The Japanese version releases on October 31, 2026 at ¥240 per pack, with 6 cards per pack and 24 packs per box , per onepiece.app.
Is there an official EB-05 Robin decklist?
No. No confirmed 50-card Nico Robin decklist has been published. What exists so far are creator test builds, such as YouTube matchup videos of Robin against Luffy, Kuzan, Mihawk and Shirahoshi Leaders , plus partial list snippets. Treat every current list as a pre-release build. Thornberry Media notes that card ratios will likely change once tournament results arrive after the October 30 English release.
