ヤマト (Yamato)

Yamato is a major character from Eiichiro Oda's One Piece, introduced as the child of Kaido and one of the central figures in the Wano Country arc. In the story, Yamato idolizes Kozuki Oden, rejects Kaido's rule, and becomes closely tied to Wano's liberation narrative. The character is significant because Yamato bridges the Kaido conflict, the Oden legacy, and the Straw Hat alliance’s Wano-era storyline. The card’s Japanese printing reflects Yamato’s strong popularity in Japan and among One Piece collectors and players.[1][4]

First released in Japanese in the Kingdoms of Intrigue set (OP04) in 2023 as card OP04-112.[1][4]

• OP04-112 is a Secret Rare Yamato card in the Kingdoms of Intrigue set, with a yellow color identity and Wano Country trait.[1][4]
• Its effect is a high-impact removal ability that can KO an opponent’s character based on combined life totals, with a life-recovery clause when the controller is at 1 life or less.[1][4]
• A parallel/full-art variant exists and is marketed as a collector-focused version, increasing demand beyond the normal SR print.[2][8]

Condition. Check centering, corner whitening, edge wear, and surface scratches, especially on the full-art/foil areas where scuffs are easier to see. Japanese Secret Rare and parallel-style cards often show print lines, foil dulling, and factory edge nicks more visibly than non-foil cards. Because this is a premium yellow SR/SEC-style chase card, even small defects can materially affect grading and resale value.

Storage. Store it in a clean sleeve and rigid top loader or semi-rigid holder, ideally with a perfect-fit inner sleeve for additional protection. Keep it away from humidity, direct light, and heat to reduce foil warping and surface damage. For graded or long-term collection storage, use archival materials and avoid frequent handling of the foil face.

Authenticity. Verify the Japanese text, card number OP04-112, correct One Piece Card Game font/layout, and authentic foil pattern. Reprints or later promotional variants may differ in stamp, finish, or product context, so match the card against known official print characteristics and set naming. Counterfeits often show poor color saturation, blurry text, incorrect texture, or off-size borders; the official full-art parallel should match the exact Japanese template and rarity formatting.[1][2][8]
