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]
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]
