For full prize list, do visit One Piece Ichiban Kuji Prize Index List
Prize A (2 pieces) / Double Chance
Top Prize Appearance: 2nd Reissue
Prize Rating:
Of course we are getting Luffy, but not just normal Luffy, we are getting his youth figure and Shanks with him, this scene is very iconic in the anime and the figure has been released before back in the One Piece Memories set in 2012! This reissue has a better quality figure but the pose and expression stays the same! Figures are Revible Moments figures, they have good quality and a base to support your figures, stands 13cm. Pretty much something you will want to pull in this set!
You can also win this via double chance!
Prize B (2 pieces)
Top Prize Appearance: 20th for Law (debut in youth), 2nd for Corazon
Prize Rating:
I believe you know the theme for the top figures for this set: you will get a main character in his youth and his mentor/idol/guardian. Law looks cute here, he has always been a common figure, so glad to see his youth version for something new. It’s been a while since we last saw Corazon too, so glad to see him once again! Figures are also Revible Moments and stands 10cm tall.
Prize C (1 piece)
Top Prize Appearance: Robin 7th (debut in youth), debut for Olvia
Prize Rating:
Next we have Nico Robin and Olvia, both looks great and not much props for the figure but they look the closest. Sad that only one of this figure is present in a set, I mean they could always gave us 2 pieces. Regardless, figure is also from Revible Moments and stands 11cm tall.
Prize D (1 piece)
Top Prize Appearance: 4th for Yamato (debut as youth), debut for “Nobody Important”
Prize Rating:
Lastly in the figure list we have Yamato, also in her youth, and this is special because she is meeting with someone that she don’t know, it’s a heart warming scene. I will just call this character as nobody important as he called himself. They both look great here, it’s also a Revible Moments figure and is 9.5cm tall. Also sad that this is a unique piece in the set, this is going to be popular.
Prize E (1 piece)
Prize Rating:
So moving on, no more figures but the top prize list is not done. We have jumbo towel here, it has the art of the Straw Hat crew when there is only 8 members and the important thing about the design are the words. It’s a usable 120cm long towel, but I think if you are a fan you will want to keep it for display than using it!
Prize F (3 pieces)
Design: 3
Distribution: 3 x 1 piece each.
Prize Rating:
Before moving onto the small prize list, here is a consolation prize. The mugs feature a series of trios, they look great definitely, it’s rarer prize and good material, definitely gonna cover your ticket cost!
Prize G (22 pieces)
Design: 4 long, 4 small
Distribution: 6 x 3 pieces each. 2 x 2 pieces each.
Prize Rating:
We have towels next and 3 of the top prize’s characters appears here, the youth are featured in the small towel and the adults in long towels. A unique idea, but the design and variation could be better. As always, the long towels will be taken first, so play early if you want to collect them.
Prize H (24 pieces)
Design: 12
Distribution: 12 x 2 pieces each.
Prize Rating:
Next we have a set of folders, the design looks great and it’s very thematic as well. In a prize, you will get 2 folders, one will be a main character and one will be his/her mentor/guardian/idol. Very interesting concept and appealing, won’t feel so bad if I pull too many of these.
Prize I (24 pieces)
Design: 12
Distribution: 12 x 2 pieces each. Blind box.
Prize Rating:
Lastly we have rubber stands, nope not rubber charm, not acrylic stands but rubber stand! The design features all our main characters in their youth and it’s special because you get the full color here compared to an acrylic stand and they act as a good display piece! Wow can’t say I am not impressed.
Last Prize
Prize Rating:
If you are unable to pull Prize B, you can aim for a buyout! This version is slightly different with Law making a shock and crying face and Corazon making a peace sign. You can even get both Prize B and last if you are into any of the characters! You can look for a 8- buyout or 15- with at least one non-prize B figure left!

Conclusion
Another good set for One Piece, I feel that this set feels special with the memories reliving figures and the small prizes feel very emotional, like you get a special kind of One Piece Kuji that you don’t see often. Nothing bad for this set definitely, I believe this is how they maintain their brand for so long: making unique sets once a while!
Odds
Let’s calculate your odds to get the following with one ticket from a fresh board!
Chance to get a top prize (A to E): 7 / 80 = 8.75%, slightly lower than normal
Recommendation
3 tickets for a chance at a figure or look for a good odds to buy out!
Collectibles? : If you don’t have Prize A already, it will be good to keep it, actually you can keep Prize A to D, they won’t come out something like this any time soon or if you are not into every characters, you can aim for the ones you like! The folders and charms are great to keep too as a collection, they look really neat and again, you won’t see such a theme anytime soon so if you really like this emotional theme, do collect as many things as you can!
