Why Ryuma P-072 Suddenly Exploded in Price A Real Look at Japan’s Market Shift

“MONSTERS: One Hundred and Three Mercies Dragon Damnation”

Official Guidebook & DVD Box “Daigyo-bako”

The MONSTERS: One Hundred and Three Mercies – Dragon Damnation
Official Guidebook & DVD Box, known as “Daigyo-bako,” was released in July 2024.

The original retail price was 4,950 JPY (approximately $31 USD).

This is a premium box set that includes an official guidebook and a bonus DVD for the anime adaptation of MONSTERS, a short story originally created by Eiichiro Oda.
Inside this box is the promotional card:

Ryuma P-072

For About 18 Months, the Price Barely Moved

From its release until recently, roughly a year and a half,
Ryuma P-072 technically had a market price, but it remained very low around $3 USD in most transactions.

Even sealed, brand-new DVD box sets were often selling below retail price,
and overall market interest was fairly quiet during this period.

Everything Changed on January 13, 2026

Around January 13, 2026, the situation changed dramatically.

Interest in Ryuma P-072 suddenly surged, and the Japanese market price rapidly increased.
As of now, the card is trading at around 19,000 JPY($120 USD), and prices are still rising.

At the same time, the deluxe box itself has largely sold out at retail stores.
Since this is a 2024 release with no planned reprint, availability is now extremely limited.

As a result, this card has effectively become a newly established high-value promo in the market.

Availability

Through our partner network, we have been able to secure a limited number of copies of this card.

If you are interested in purchasing one,
please feel free to reach out.

Looking at this situation, what matters is not just the price itself, but why the price moved:

  • Why did the market stay quiet for so long?
  • Why did demand suddenly appear now?
  • Why is the box itself being re-evaluated?

Understanding these background factors is becoming increasingly important in today’s trading card market.

As always, this article is based on real market observation and hands-on experience,
and I wanted to share that perspective with you.

Thank you for reading.
