The Whitebeard Route

OP02-004 is a SuperRare Edward.Newgate Character from OP-02, PARAMOUNT WAR, shown aboard ship with his naginata. It opens the route with the foundational Whitebeard family used again for comparison.

OP08-043 is a SuperRare Edward.Newgate Character from OP-08, TWO LEGENDS, with a battle-worn stance. It adds a separate later base identity rather than another OP02-004 printing.

ST15-002 is a SuperRare Edward.Newgate Character from the ST-15 Red Edward.Newgate starter deck. Its downward strike introduces the starter-product path before that base family returns in Chase.

OP13-042 is a SuperRare Edward.Newgate Character from OP-13, CARRYING ON HIS WILL, with a glass-and-shard composition. It establishes the later family whose Special printing appears in Chase.

Reference

Shown again as the base visual reference for the OP02-004 comparison family. It shares state with the counted Section 1 entry and does not count twice.

OP02-004_p1 keeps the OP02-004 base identity and SuperRare rarity while visual review shows a front-facing close portrait. It separates artwork from base card and rarity.

OP02-004_p4 remains OP02-004 and SuperRare but moves through PRB-01 with a dynamic ship-and-naginata composition. It makes product path and artwork readable as separate facts.

OP02-021 is the Rare Event Seaquake from OP-02 with Whitebeard Pirates catalog context. The reviewed image shows the destructive wave rather than Whitebeard, so the route presents it honestly as a named-technique card.

OP02-024 is the Common Moby Dick Stage from OP-02. Its effect text explicitly names [Edward.Newgate], while the image shows the ship, making this a direct catalog-text relationship rather than a character depiction.

ST22-015 is the Common Event I Am Whitebeard!! from ST-22. Its text plays [Edward.Newgate], and the reviewed image visibly shows Whitebeard in battle, joining direct text and direct presence.

OP02-004_p2 is a Special Edward.Newgate printing from OP-04 with a painted close portrait. It gives the foundational family a Chase position through catalog rarity and visibly different artwork.

OP13-042_p2 is a Special Edward.Newgate printing from the OP15-EB04 product path with an ornate blue-and-gold composition. It is selected over p1 because it adds both a distinct product path and catalogued Special rarity.

ST15-002_p1 is a Special Edward.Newgate printing from OP-10 with a celebratory crew portrait. It shows how a starter-deck base identity can move into a separate booster and collector presentation.

OP08-043_p1 remains SuperRare but replaces the base card’s stance with a lightning-and-punch action composition. It adds a clear artwork lesson without inventing a treatment term.

OP16-003_p1 is a SuperRare Edward.Newgate printing from OP-16 with a back-facing coat-and-flag composition. It closes Chase with a separate base identity and a quieter symbolic image.

OP02-001 is the Edward.Newgate Leader from OP-02 and establishes the single gameplay identity represented by the next two printings.

OP02-001_p1 carries the same OP02-001 Leader identity and effect with a close-face composition. Its lesson is collector presentation, not a different deck strategy.

OP02-001_p2 carries the same OP02-001 Leader identity and effect through the ST-15 starter product with separate action artwork. It adds product choice without overstating gameplay difference.

ST15-001 is the Common Atmos Character from ST-15. Its effect explicitly depends on an [Edward.Newgate] Leader, so it supplies the distinct play-facing support lesson that a fourth Whitebeard Leader cannot provide.
