EB-05 "Heroines Edition vol.2": release date, prices, and what vol.1's data actually predicts

Bandai has confirmed EB-05, the second Heroines extra booster, for October 2026. Preview coverage so far is shop pre-order pages; what none of them have is vol.1's price history. We tracked EB-03 (Heroines vol.1) daily — here is the official EB-05 information, followed by what actually happened last time.

What Heroines vol.1 (EB-03) actually did

EB-03 launched in Japan in October 2025. Since our tracking window opened in early January 2026, the Japanese sealed box went from about $84 (Jan 7) to $115 (Apr 1) to about $126 (mid-July) — roughly +50% in six months, one of the steadier climbs we track. Full history and live price: EB-03 set guide.

The chase depth is real too: Boa Hancock SP (EB03-026) runs ¥248,000 raw NM at Japanese retail, with PSA 10 copies selling around $2,000 on verified eBay data. The recent ONE PIECE HEROINES anime special (aired July 5, 2026 on Fuji TV, then Netflix) keeps the theme in front of a global audience heading into vol.2.

The honest read: vol.1's climb happened with modest supply and durable demand for female-character alt-arts. That precedent — not a card list nobody has seen — is the rational reason EB-05 pre-orders will run hot. Our OP-16 launch data still applies though: hyped pre-order prices usually beat the post-release dip. See the launch-price table on the OP-17 page before paying a heavy premium.

When EB-05's card list and real market prices exist, this page becomes a full set guide: live Japanese box price, top-10 chase table with raw NM and PSA 10 sold prices, and PSA population data — the same format as EB-03. Until then, it carries only verified facts.

Is it worth buying sealed?

Unknowable before the card list — but EB-03's tracked +50% six-month climb and ¥248,000 top card are the strongest volume-1 precedent in the game.
