One Piece Card Game World Finals 2026: Wasinha Wins With Black Imu
On March 14, 2026, the One Piece Card Game World Finals 2026 concluded with Wasinha hoisting the trophy — piloting the underrepresented Black Imu archetype to upset the field in OP14 format. Here is the complete results breakdown and what it means for the competitive landscape.
World Finals 2026 — Top 8 Results
| Finish | Player | Leader / Deck |
|---|---|---|
| 1st 🏆 | Wasinha | Black Imu |
| 2nd | Han Yong Tee | Blue/Purple Monkey D. Luffy |
| 3rd | Johnson | Red/Blue Ace |
| 4th | Nathan Fong | Purple Doflamingo |
| 5th | Ricmasterflash | Red/Green Monkey D. Luffy |
| 6th | うー | Blue/Yellow Hancock |
| 7th | Aaron Kenney | Red/Blue Ace |
| 8th | Kevin Le | Black Imu |
Format: OP14. Field size: 34 players (World Finals invitees).
Black Imu — The Underdog World Champion
Black Imu was not the pre-tournament favorite. The field expected heavy representation from Blue/Yellow Nami and Red/Blue Ace — both of which dominated the Regional circuit leading into Worlds. However, Wasinha\'s bet on Black Imu paid off in the most important event of the year.
Notably, Kevin Le (8th place) also brought Black Imu, suggesting the archetype had a small but committed group of believers at the top level. The deck\'s strength lies in its control-oriented removal package — Black card effects in the OPTCG are some of the most powerful interaction tools in the game.
The Road to the Championship Finals — Las Vegas 2026
One month before Worlds, the Championship Finals Las Vegas (February 14, 2026, 1,000 players) gave a preview of what would arrive at the global stage:
| Finish | Player | Leader |
|---|---|---|
| 1st 🏆 | Everydayclutch | Red/Blue Ace |
| 2nd | Nathan Fong | Purple Doflamingo |
| 3rd | Ricmasterflash | Red/Green Luffy |
| 4th | B-Roll | Purple/Yellow Rosinante |
Nathan Fong (4th at Las Vegas, 4th at Worlds) was the most consistent performer across the season — just missing the top 3 at two of the year\'s biggest events. Ricmasterflash made Top 5 at both events running Red/Green Luffy.
