Berserk Trading Card Game

The Berserk Trading Card Game is the official Berserk card game based on the manga series by Kentarou Miura. Published by the company Konami from 2003 to 2005, 5 sets, known as "volumes", were released before the game was discontinued. The first volume contains 160 cards, the second and third contain 64 each, and the fourth and fifth contain 80 each (not including the parallel variants or the secret, art, and illustration cards from each volume). In addition, the first volume's starter box contains 5 city cards.

The emblem in the top right corner of each card indicates its rarity: cards with a bronze emblem are categorized as common, cards with a silver emblem as uncommon, cards with a gold emblem as rare, and cards with a red emblem as super rare. Promotional prize cards are emblazoned with a taupe emblem and marked "not for sale". Promotional cards were given for member registration, tournament participation, tournament prizes, and as box toppers (for volumes 4 & 5), as well as one particular card that was packaged with an issue of Young Animal magazine. Every rare, super rare, and secret full art card has a holographic variant known as a parallel card. In addition, gold rimmed variants were released with every Guts and Griffith figure sold from ToysRUs stores in Japan for a limited time.

The cards' illustrations consist of original paintings by Miura, colored manga panels, and original art from Konami.

Box Topper Cards[]

Box toppers were cards given out to people who purchased sealed booster boxes of any of the five sets. Each sealed booster box contained one box topper. For the first 3 sets box toppers were oversized art cards. However, starting in volume 4 and continuing to volume 5, box toppers would be changed to standard sized cards featuring alternative artwork of cards from the standard sets. Box toppers could also be obtained from the starter decks. There were box toppers signed by Kentaro Miura randomly seeded in these products. So far only signed variants of the Vol 1 Box toppers have been seen. Based on information translated from the back of the starter kits these signed box toppers are limited to 50 copies of each art.

Gacha Parallel Cards[]

Gacha parallels are variant versions of the parallel cards available from the 4th and 5th volumes. These cards were exclusively available in Japanese gacha machines and are the same as the standard set cards, aside from their foil pattern. Gacha parallels feature a ‘glitter’ foil pattern, in contrast to the standard foiling featured on the set cards.
