Black Maria

The Black Maria character card originates from the One Piece Card Game, a strategic trading card game launched by Bandai in 2022 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Eiichiro Oda’s long-running manga series. Black Maria, a member of the Animal Kingdom Pirates and one of the Tobi Roppo, was introduced during the Wano Country Arc, and her card appearances capture her distinct aesthetic inspired by the oiran of the Edo period, rendered in the high-contrast, vibrant art style characteristic of the game's collectible releases.

The design of these cards is a collaborative effort between Toei Animation and the game’s creative team, aiming to translate the fluid motion and complex character designs of the manga into a functional tabletop format. These cards were primarily released within sets like 'Kingdoms of Intrigue,' intended to flesh out the game’s meta by introducing popular antagonists. The community has received these depictions favorably for their faithfulness to Oda’s original character designs and the inclusion of dynamic, illustrative card art that highlights the character's unique combat abilities.
