Celebrating Dragon Ball's 40th Anniversary
Manga Booster 01 was created to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Dragon Ball.
Dragon Ball began serialization in 1984 and went on to become one of the most influential manga and anime franchises ever created.
For this special Fusion World release, Bandai returned to the artwork that started it all.
The cards in Manga Booster 01 use original manga illustrations by Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama, giving the expansion a completely different appearance from traditional Fusion World releases.
Collectors can experience legendary characters and moments through Toriyama's unmistakable artwork while enjoying modern foil and alternate-art card treatments.
For longtime Dragon Ball fans, SB01 combines nostalgia and modern card collecting in one special anniversary expansion.
Every Card Is Foil
One of the defining features of Manga Booster 01 [SB01] is that the entire release uses foil cards.
✨ Every card features a foil treatment
That means collectors aren't simply hunting for a holographic card among otherwise standard cards.
The complete Manga Booster 01 experience has been designed as a premium release.
Combined with Akira Toriyama's original manga illustrations, the all-foil configuration gives SB01 a distinctive appearance that immediately separates it from standard Fusion World booster expansions.
Manga Booster 01 Set Configuration
The official SB01 card lineup consists of:
Leader Cards – 5 Types
Common – 37 Types
Uncommon – 32 Types
Rare – 25 Types
Super Rare – 10 Types
Secret Rare – 1 Type
Energy Markers – 21 Types
Total: 110 Card Types + 21 Energy Marker Types
Parallel versions of cards are also included in the product.
This gives collectors plenty to chase beyond the standard numbered set.
Original Akira Toriyama Manga Artwork
The biggest attraction of Manga Booster 01 is its artwork.
Rather than simply using artwork inspired by the Dragon Ball manga, the set specifically features manga illustrations drawn by Akira Toriyama himself.
This allows collectors to experience Dragon Ball artwork directly from the creator of the legendary series in a modern trading card format.
The combination of:
📖 Original manga illustrations
✨ All-foil cards
💎 Alternate-art cards
🐉 Iconic Dragon Ball characters
🎨 Akira Toriyama artwork
makes SB01 particularly appealing to collectors who appreciate the history and artistic legacy of Dragon Ball.
New & Returning Leader Cards
Manga Booster 01 introduces three new Leader Cards alongside two reprinted Leader Cards.
Among the new Leaders are:
🔴 Cell – SB01-001
🟡 Majin Buu: Evil – SB01-029
⚫ Bulma – SB01-045
Each Leader supports a different strategy and adds new deck-building opportunities to Dragon Ball Super Card Game Fusion World.
The Bulma Leader is especially unusual because she cannot attack, instead supporting her allies and cards with the Adventure special trait.
This gives SB01 appeal to competitive players as well as collectors.
21 Exclusive Energy Markers
Manga Booster 01 marks an important first for Dragon Ball Super Card Game Fusion World.
For the first time, Energy Markers are included directly inside booster packs.
There are:
⚡ 21 Energy Marker Designs
Even better, all 21 designs are original Energy Markers exclusive to Manga Booster 01.
These Energy Markers feature different Dragon Ball manga illustrations, giving collectors another complete subset to chase beyond the standard card checklist.
For collectors who enjoy completing master sets, the 21 Energy Markers add another major layer to SB01.
Chase Alternate-Art Cards
Manga Booster 01 contains parallel and alternate-art versions of cards throughout the release.
These premium cards combine iconic Dragon Ball manga illustrations with upgraded visual treatments designed for collectors.
One of the most notable cards highlighted for the release is Son Goku, which received both an Alt-Art and an even more premium Ultra Alt-Art treatment.
The artwork used for these special Son Goku cards originates from an illustration created for the Akira Toriyama the World art book released in 1990.
For serious Dragon Ball collectors, these premium alternate-art treatments are among the biggest attractions of SB01.
