The Ace Route

OP02-013 is a SuperRare Portgas.D.Ace Character from OP-02, PARAMOUNT WAR, with a color fire-action composition. It opens the route with Ace's early booster baseline before the OP02-013 Manga Rare printing appears later.

EB02-028 is a Rare Portgas.D.Ace Character from EB-02, Anime 25th Collection, with Alabasta and Whitebeard Pirates types. It teaches that Ace's route includes later themed product paths, not only main-booster cards.

ST13-010 is a Common Portgas.D.Ace Character from ST-13, The Three Brothers, with Goa Kingdom type and young-Ace artwork. It adds a childhood identity to the route through catalog name, product path, and visible composition.

OP07-053 is a Rare Portgas.D.Ace Character from OP-07, 500 YEARS IN THE FUTURE. It is counted once here and then reappears as the non-counted reference for reading the OP07-053 printing family.

Reference

Shown again as the base visual reference for the OP07-053 comparison family. It shares state with the counted Section 1 entry and does not count twice.

OP07-053_p1 keeps the OP07-053 base identity and Rare catalog rarity while direct visual review shows a different portrait-forward flame composition. It teaches that one card number can carry a separate visual printing without changing the catalog rarity.

OP07-053_p3 is still OP07-053 and still Rare, but visual review shows a full-art fire composition with an anniversary stamp. The lesson is to read card number, pack path, stamp, and artwork as separate facts instead of interpreting the suffix.

OP13-014 is Portgas.D.Rouge from OP-13, and its trigger text gives power to a [Portgas.D.Ace] card. It adds Ace's family-origin context through printed text rather than a broad Portgas-family assumption.

OP03-016 is the Rare Event Flame Emperor from OP-03, and its effect explicitly requires your Leader to be [Portgas.D.Ace]. It teaches a named Ace technique through title, Whitebeard Pirates type, and direct printed condition.

ST13-019 is the Event The Three Brothers' Bond from ST-13, and its effect reveals [Sabo], [Portgas.D.Ace], or [Monkey.D.Luffy]. It gives the route a brotherhood moment supported by card title, effect text, and panel-style artwork.

OP02-013_p2 remains a SuperRare OP02-013 printing in the catalog, and visual review confirms black-and-white manga panels behind the Ace foreground. Trusted collector evidence identifies this exact OP02-013 path as Manga Rare, so the badge is community terminology separate from rarity.

OP13-119_p2 remains SecretRare in the catalog, and visual review confirms the OP13 manga-panel composition with Ace over black-and-white panels. Trusted collector evidence supports the Manga Rare community badge while the decisions preserve the Super Alternate Art classification evidence separately.

OP13-119_p3 is the same OP13-119 base identity and remains SecretRare, but visual review shows red panel artwork and a red flame frame. It teaches the Red Super Alternate Art path without applying Manga Rare to this printing.

OP08-052_p2 is catalogued as TreasureRare from OP-10, ROYAL BLOOD, and visual review shows Ace and Luffy in a fire-heavy shared composition. It adds a separate Treasure Rare collector path rather than another OP02 or OP13 variant.

ST15-005_p5 is a Special Portgas.D.Ace printing from OP-16, THE TIME OF BATTLE, with a close portrait composition. It closes Chase with a later Special route from a different base family, keeping the section from overfilling one Ace family.

OP03-001 is a Portgas.D.Ace Leader from OP-03, PILLARS OF STRENGTH, whose text converts Event or Stage cards in hand into battle power. It begins the bridge with Ace's first solo Leader identity.

ST13-002 is a Portgas.D.Ace Leader from ST-13, The Three Brothers, with a Life-card engine printed directly on the card. It connects the young-Ace and brothers theme to a playable Ace Leader path.

OP13-002 is a Portgas.D.Ace Leader from OP-13, CARRYING ON HIS WILL, with printed effects around power reduction and 6000-base-power Characters. It ties the OP-13 chase family to a separate solo Ace Leader base identity.

OP16-001 is a Portgas.D.Ace Leader from OP-16, THE TIME OF BATTLE, with text that grants Rush to Monkey.D.Luffy Characters or large Whitebeard Pirates Characters. It closes the route with a later solo Ace Leader while staying inside Ace identity.
