Donquixote Doflamingo Parallel is a part of One Piece Romance Dawn.

Released just a few days ago, the One Piece Card Game has managed to pivot from an obscure new TCG to a full-fledged, fan-favorite one. The transition is something that many saw coming; I mean, this is One Piece; after all, if any anime-inspired CCG is going to make it, it will be One Piece!

And the CCG also came out on a crucial point in One Piece history; this year marks the 25th anniversary of this fantastic anime, so the creators went all in when developing this card game. It features an excellent gameplay loop and illustrations that will leave any One Piece fan wanting more!

One such illustration can be found in the Donquixote Doflamingo Parallel art, which has been doing great numbers since its release. The card is in demand now, and we’re here to decipher why!

Origins

Donquixote Doflamingo is one of the weirdest names anyone on this planet could have, but hey, this is the world of  One Piece; Donquixote Doflamingo is probably the most common name here.

But there’s a good reason his name is as such; he was born in a family of nobles, you know, people who have long names that are hard to pronounce.

He was one of the warlords of the sea, so he wasn’t just a noble, he also was a pirate, and a great one at that, as a bounty of 340,000,000 was put on his head!

Trivia

Donquixote Doflamingo is as dazzling as they get; the man can be seen sporting his insanely bright pink fur coat and weird eye-shaped goggles everywhere. And somehow, he managed to appear 5-times in this first expansion!

Illustration

As for the illustration, it is driving the price of Donquixote Doflamingo Parallel higher. The art style chosen by the artist is something we’re not very used to as One Piece is an anime, and this is more like a painting.

But we’re not comparing because it brings a dark-grimy look to the character, which many anime fans like.

Value

As of writing this blog post, the value of this card has been floating around $50 across reseller sites like eBay and TCGPlayer. But this doesn’t mean you can buy it for $50 or sell it for the same amount. The condition matters a lot. You might get even higher if you have a better condition Donquixote Doflamingo Parallel.

The future of the Donquixote Doflamingo Parallel doesn’t seem so bleak, as it is one of the best Donquixote Doflamingo cards in the set. And we emphasize ‘one of the best’ for a reason; it isn’t the best.
