Story Booster 01 Sets Out Leaders, Opening Extras and Foil Variants
The ST01 reveal combines five Leaders, three opening Battle Area Extra Cards and several holographic or Alt-Art treatments for collectors.
STORY BOOSTER 01 [ST01] contains three new Leader Cards and two reprints. Its preview also identifies Fate Transcending Generations, Demonic Maze and Wicked Soul Discovered as Extra Cards that start the game in the Battle Area, putting the product’s Leader count and three named setup options in clear view.
Leader skills set numerical conditions
Two disclosed effects add more specific play information. One once-per-turn ability applies at five Energy or fewer, reducing by one the [Evolve] skill cost for a card in hand that has <Majin> and costs no more than six. A separate permanent effect gives a Leader 20,000 additional power during your turn after the Drop reaches 20 cards. Each effect therefore presents an explicit threshold for players to check.
Holographic coverage spans two classifications
The Common-card treatment covers a complete 36-card group: every Common can be found in a Dragon Ball-themed holographic foil edition. Leader Cards receive a different presentation, with holographic finishing applied to both faces. The official material identifies that double-sided Leader treatment as a Fusion World first. The 36-card statement applies specifically to the Common classification, keeping the two announced foil programs clearly separated.
Exclusive artwork draws from story moments
ST01’s exclusive Alt-Art selection includes R Alt-Art cards whose compositions draw on story matchups, images from the anime opening and the scene of Majin Buu changing opponents into sweets. That range is presented as product-exclusive artwork. Alongside the separately disclosed holographic treatments, it gives collectors distinct attributes to record: an alternate illustration can be identified independently from whether a card carries a holographic finish.
Energy Markers receive complete Alt-Art coverage
Energy Markers form another complete variant group. STORY BOOSTER 01 [ST01] includes 12 original designs derived from memorable anime scenes, with availability limited to this product. Every one of those 12 cards also has an Alt-Art edition. The stated coverage supports a checklist divided between the original designs and corresponding alternate artwork, while the fixed count makes the announced marker range straightforward to verify.
Context
Why it matters
For collectors, the announcement separates three trackable treatments: holographic editions spanning 36 Common cards, double-sided holographic Leader Cards, and 12 Energy Marker designs with Alt-Art versions for every card. These bounded groups allow product checklists to distinguish alternate artwork from finish coverage rather than combining them into one category.
