Can a Dragon Ball card number tell me which product it came from?

Published · By the Cards from Japan editors

Summary

Usually. In the DRAGON BALL SUPER CARD GAME (MASTERS), BT16-001 comes from booster DBS-B16 and SD17-01 from starter deck DBS-SD17. Some prefixes do not match their product codes, though: EX01-01 is from DBS-BE01, and TB1-097 is from DBS-TB01. In Fusion World, the official card list uses the same number in English and Japanese, such as FS01-01.

MASTERS numbers and the products behind them

BT16-001 Son Goku is a Realm of the Gods card, product code DBS-B16, released March 11, 2022. In the English card list's series menu, that set appears as "UW07 Booster -Realm of the Gods-". SD17-01 Pan comes from STARTER DECK -RED RAGE- [DBS-SD17], and promotion cards run P-001, P-002, and so on.

Two families break the pattern. Themed booster The Tournament Of Power, coded DBS-TB01 and released May 25, 2018, numbers its cards TB1, as in TB1-097 Son Goku. The EXPANSION SET -Mighty Heroes- [DBS-BE01] numbers its cards EX01-01, EX01-02, and so on.

Some entries add a suffix. BT16-005_SPR is the Special Rare version of BT16-005, and BT16-001_PR is a reprint included in Premium Anniversary Box 2025. The card list filters by name, series, card type, rarity, color, character, and special trait, and the official CARD Q&A is split by product in the same way, from DBS-SD01 and DBS-B01 through DBS-TB01 and DBS-BE01.

Fusion World numbers

Searching FS01-01 in the Fusion World card list returns FS01-01 Son Goku in English and FS01-01 孫悟空 in Japanese. The product pages are less consistent, since the Japanese FS01 page prints the Leader as FS1-01 and the English FB01 page lists FB1-001 Son Goku.
