Common questions

How many Japanese sets are there?

There are 444 Japanese sets in the Scryda catalog, released between 1996 and 2026. Every one is listed on this page with its card count and release date, and links to its full card list.

What was the first of the Japanese sets?

Expansion Pack is the earliest in the catalog, released October 20, 1996 with 102 cards.

What is the newest of the Japanese sets?

30th CELEBRATION Premium Deck Set Espeon & Umbreon is the most recent, released September 16, 2026 with 49 cards. New expansions are added as they're announced.

Which set has the most cards?

Start Deck 100 Battle Collection is the largest here at 916 cards, counting secret rares and alternate arts beyond the printed set total.

How do Japanese sets differ from English ones?

Japanese sets release first and are usually smaller — a single Japanese set often becomes part of a larger English one months later. Numbering, rarity symbols and secret-rare ranges differ too, which is why they are catalogued separately here.

Are Japanese card prices shown?

Where market data exists for a print, it appears on that card page in USD. Coverage is thinner than for English cards, and any card we cannot price says so rather than showing a guess.

Scanning Japanese cards?

Scryda reads Japanese cards natively — point the camera at one and it identifies the print, set and market value.
