Vinsmoke Ichiji

Description

Vinsmoke Ichiji (OP11-043) is a Blue Strike Character card from the One Piece Card Game's -A FIST OF DIVINE SPEED- set, released in 2025. As a Common rarity card, it serves as a fundamental component for players building GERMA 66 archetypes. The card features the Vinsmoke Family and GERMA 66 traits, making it a versatile inclusion in decks that rely on these specific character types. In terms of gameplay, Ichiji operates with a Cost of 7, 7000 Power, and a Blocker effect. His unique ability activates once per turn during the opponent's attack, provided the player controls only Characters with the "GERMA" type. When activated, Ichiji allows the player to select one of their Leader or Character cards to gain +1000 Power for that battle. However, this defensive boost comes with a strategic trade-off: the player must trash two cards from the top of their deck. This mechanic adds a layer of resource management, requiring players to weigh the immediate defensive advantage against the long-term value of their deck's top cards. For collectors of the One Piece Card Game, this card represents an essential piece of the GERMA 66 family roster. The -A FIST OF DIVINE SPEED- set continues to expand the lore and mechanical depth of the One Piece universe, offering new ways to engage with favorite characters. Ichiji's design and rules text reflect his role as a protective and strategic figure within his family. The card's straightforward yet impactful effect makes it a staple for any GERMA 66-focused strategy.
