Purple Takes All Three Flame-Flame Fruit Coliseums

Purple won all three Flame-Flame Fruit Coliseums, but the three regional events produced more than one winning formula. Benjo@@@1 took Europe in Utrecht with Purple/Yellow OP09 Nico Robin, SPZ_Daniel repeated the result in Dallas with the same leader and color combination, and 夜叉丸 finished the series in Japan with OP17 Kaido.

The Coliseum was a special event, not a regular Regional. Europe, North America, and Japan each received their own large-scale tournament, with a region-specific version of the serialized Flame-Flame Fruit champion prize on the line. The event used Standard format, with preliminary Swiss rounds played in a triple-elimination structure before the final round. The event package also included limited Flame-Flame Fruit Coliseum products, including special sleeves and a storage box.

That structure made the three events easy to compare while still leaving room for regional differences. The European event ran on September 4 in Utrecht alongside the Championship 26-27 Season 1 Finals Last Chance Qualifier. North America followed in Dallas on September 19–20, and Japan held its event at Makuhari Messe in Chiba on October 3–4.

The first two winners made Nico Robin look like the defining deck of the Coliseum series.

They shared a large Big Mom package, including Charlotte Linlin, Sweet 3 Generals, Charlotte Pudding, Yamato, Charlotte Daifuku, and Charlotte Smoothie.

The lists were not copies, though. Benjo@@@1 used Miss Doublefinger (Zala), four Streusen, and a slightly different spread of Charlotte Oven and Charlotte Mont-d’or. SPZ_Daniel instead leaned into four Marshall.D.Teach, four Charlotte Brulee, and four Charlotte Oven, with Baby 5 and Borsalino also making the cut. The same leader won twice, but the two decklists still show players tuning the shell for their own fields.

Japan broke the Robin repeat with 夜叉丸’s Full deckOP17 Kaido listOP17 Kaido / 夜叉丸×1×4×4×4×4×1×4×4×2×4×3×3×4×1×4×2×2

The mono-Purple deck used a five-Life leader, 37 characters, and 13 events, with a heavy Wano and Animal Kingdom Pirates core built around Queen, X.Drake, Basil Hawkins, Yamato, King, and Kaido. Its event suite included four Mamaragan, four We’re Going to Claim the One Piece!!!, two Flame Dragon Torch, and two Gum-Gum Lightning.

The big takeaway is that Purple owned the entire Flame-Flame Fruit Coliseum run, but the color was not locked to one leader or one deck shape. Nico Robin proved it repeatable across Europe and North America, while Kaido showed Japan had a different way to turn Purple’s tools into a champion deck. Three regions, three events, and three one-of-one prizes ended with the same color on top. Congrats to the winners!
