Market outlook
Stable Outlook 7/10
Current pricing is already elevated and supported by both play demand and character collector demand. Because the card is from a modern product, supply is still sufficient to limit explosive near-term gains, but premium Zoro chase cards usually maintain liquidity.[1][3]
Next months. Likely to trade in a relatively narrow band unless a meta shift increases demand for purple Straw Hat builds.
Long term. Over 1-3 years, the card has moderate upside if sealed supply tightens and collector interest in SP/Alt Art One Piece cards continues to grow.
History
Zoro-Juurou is the Wano Country alias of Roronoa Zoro, one of the core Straw Hat Pirates in ONE PIECE. In Wano, he uses the name 'Zoro-Juurou' while moving through the country’s samurai culture; the character is strongly associated with swordsmanship, loyalty, and the raid on Kaido’s forces. This card’s in-game text also reflects that identity by searching for purple Straw Hat Crew cards, tying Zoro to the purple Straw Hat Crew package in the One Piece Card Game.[1][3]
This card was first released as ST18-004 in the English and Japanese release of the Legacy of the Master starter/structure product in 2025; marketplace listings and card databases identify it as part of Legacy of the Master and as card ST18-004.[1][2][3][4]
- The card is a 4-cost purple Character with 6000 power and the Slash trait.[3]
- Its [On Play] effect looks at the top 5 cards of your deck and can add up to 1 purple Straw Hat Crew card to hand, making it a consistency piece for purple Straw Hat builds.[1][3]
- The Alt Art / SP version is materially more valuable than the base printing, with recent market data showing a raw market price around $233.55 and TCGplayer pricing around $207.48 for ST18-004 variants.[1][3]

- Premium illustration and parallel treatment typically reduce available supply relative to base copies.
- High collector demand is driven by Zoro’s popularity and the Straw Hat Crew theme.
Collector notes
Condition. Check for whitening on corners and edges, surface scratches on the foiling, print lines, centering, and binder dents or roller marks. For Alt Art / SP copies, verify the foil layer and stamped finish if present, since premium parallel cards often show scratches more easily than standard printings.[1][5]
Storage. Use penny sleeves plus a semi-rigid or top loader for raw copies, and store away from heat, humidity, and UV light. For higher-value SP/Alt Art copies, keep the card in an archival sleeve and avoid repeated handling to preserve the foil surface.
Authenticity. Verify the exact card number ST18-004, set naming, and language line-up with official card text. Compare foil pattern, print sharpness, and card stock feel against verified copies; premium One Piece cards are occasionally counterfeited, so graded/third-party certification and seller authenticity guarantees add confidence.[5]
