When creating a set centred around the Marineford War arc, who else was the manga rare going to be other than Ace? The character design on this card is from the exact moment Ace saved Luffy from Akainu, which adds even more depth to the card. This card embodies one of the most memorable parts of the anime and manga, so it is very deserving of a place on this list, even at number 10.

This Zoro card is widely recognised because it uses the classic manga head alternate art leader style and was part of the very first set released. This card is the alternate version of the very first card in the One Piece TCG, as shown by its card number, OP01-001, in the bottom right corner of the image. Zoro's popularity, combined with the way Romance Dawn has aged as a set, helps solidify this as one of the most iconic cards of all time.

Red Manga Rare Luffy is the most recently released card on this list and has earned its spot due to the popularity of OP-13, as well as the incredibly low pull rates for red manga rares. While the character design is simple here, as this is Luffy from around the start of the One Piece story, it makes the card feel even more special. There are other red manga rares in this set, but Luffy will always take the top spot in terms of popularity.

OP-01 began the trend of using character heads taken straight from the manga as alternate art leader designs. We have seen this in many other sets since, but the cards from OP-01 are iconic and memorable because they were the first to use this style. This Luffy is one of the biggest chase cards from OP-01, especially the pre-errata version, as the card text was later changed. This makes the version with the original text even more iconic and memorable.

Zoro was always going to get a manga rare card at some point, so it is surprising that he has only had one so far. As one of the most popular characters in One Piece, this manga rare from OP-06 is made even better by the fact that the colour used for the card is Zoro's iconic green. With Zoro being as popular as he is, this card was always going to do well, and in the years since its release, it has become one of the most recognisable cards ever printed in the TCG.

Boa has had numerous SPs across the various One Piece TCG sets. However, none of them are as recognisable or iconic as this SP from OP-04. The style of these SPs is extremely unique, and the crispness of the Boa artwork in particular makes this a true standout from the set. In terms of value, this card also ranks very highly compared with other SP cards. Finally, Boa herself always attracts a lot of community attention, which helps the popularity of this card skyrocket.

When this Roger card was released, it was the most difficult card to pull in the entire TCG. It was also the first time we had seen this alternate type of manga rare, which was a huge deal, especially in terms of the card's popularity and standing within the community. OP-09 is defined by Gold Manga Roger because of the tiny chance of pulling this incredible card.

OP-01 Romance Dawn is the very first One Piece TCG set, and this Shanks is the manga rare from that set. When you think of manga rares, Shanks is likely to be near the top of the list. This card helped pave the way for all subsequent manga rares and helped define what a manga rare is, both in terms of artwork and premium feel.

The first anniversary card ever released was the Gold Luffy, along with the silver version. This card uses the same character art as the popular Gear 5 manga rare from OP-05, which is taken directly from the manga artwork. The combination of detail, texture and gold outlining makes this card look incredibly premium. It might even be the most expensive-looking card in the TCG.

The character artwork for this Gear 5 Luffy is iconic, not only across the TCG but also across the entire One Piece space. When Gear 5 was introduced in the anime, the streaming site Crunchyroll crashed due to the number of people trying to watch it. Gear 5 has become an iconic transformation across the anime community, and it is so recognisable that the Manga Gear 5 Luffy had to take the number 1 spot.
