Arlong

The Arlong character card originates from the One Piece Card Game, a strategic trading card game launched by Bandai in 2022 to commemorate the twenty-fifth anniversary of Eiichiro Oda's globally acclaimed manga series. As the primary antagonist of the Arlong Park Arc, Arlong was selected for inclusion in the game’s debut sets to represent the Fish-Man pirates and introduce the series' signature conflict-driven gameplay mechanics.

The card’s design draws directly from Oda’s original manga illustrations, emphasizing the character's formidable stature and intimidating shark-like features. It was crafted to provide players with a high-aggression card profile, typically categorized within the red or green color archetypes, depending on the specific set release. Upon its release, the card was well-received by fans of the series for its authentic art style and its functional utility in building aggressive deck strategies.
