Mihawk before October 12: check OP14-020, then your region
Keep the English ban notice, alternative artwork and the planned P-163 leader attached to the right card number.
TCGIndex editorial · 2026-10-08
Start with the scope and effective date
Bandai’s September 24 English announcement makes OP14-020 Dracule Mihawk a banned card from October 12, 2026, including alternative artwork versions. The website serves North America, Europe, Oceania, Latin America and the Middle East. Keep your event’s region and applicable rules beside the date, particularly when reading news from another language edition.
A new number deserves a separate record
The announcement also describes a planned future-event distribution of a P-163 Mihawk leader with different text. Keep it separate from OP14-020. The notice is not a verified timetable for every event or country, and this article does not confirm availability in Korea.
The character name is only the start
TCGIndex’s current Korean-market references distinguish OP14-020-L from OP14-020-L-P, alongside older OP01-070-SR Mihawk products. These are catalogue examples, not a universal legality list. When checking the card in your hand, record the printed number, language, artwork, finish and promo identity. An alternative-art product can be a distinct collectible while remaining covered by the same ban notice.
Two notes that make the next check easier
For play, save the organiser’s region, effective rules and official link. For your collection, save clear photographs and the exact printing. A rules announcement alone does not establish a measured price change. This explainer assigns neither an unverified trading price nor a resale forecast.
