COLLECTOR'S BREAKDOWN: JINBE - SUPER RARE [OP14-049]
A Super Rare (SR) Character card featuring the Fish-Man Jinbe from the One Piece Card Game. The card depicts Jinbe in a powerful combat stance, utilizing a vibrant color palette of blues and reds. Mechanically, it is an 8-cost blue card with 10,000 power, featuring key effects including 'Rush' when a card is trashed from the hand and a versatile 'On Play' ability for drawing cards and board control. The artwork is credited to artist Ryuda.
CULTURAL CARD LORE
Where This Object Echoes
Jinbe’s character design draws from the Umi-bozu (sea monk) and Oni, traditional spirits associated with the sea and formidable strength.
Ritual & Ceremonial Use
- •Modern competitive card tournaments where regional championships draw thousands of players.
Meaning Through Time
Transitioned from a storytelling medium to a localized financial asset and competitive tool.
CARD HISTORY & PRINT RUNS
COLLECTOR INTEL
Jinbe's design is heavily influenced by the 'oni' (ogre) from Japanese folklore, visible in his tusks and facial features.
This specific artwork is a 'floating' full art, meaning the illustration extends to the edges without the traditional border, a hallmark of Super Rare cards in this series.
