Lorcana Japan’s Osaka report: what the combined Top 16 figures mean
The official report combines two days of finalists, rather than describing the full field of roughly 600 players.

The denominator matters
Japan’s Disney Lorcana operating team published its latest deck report on 6 November, covering CCQ Osaka on 31 October and 1 November 2026. The report describes approximately 600 participants across the two days. Its deck-distribution figures, however, cover 32 final-round places: the Top 16 from each day.
What the official figures actually cover
Amber/Emerald accounts for ten of those 32 places, listed as 31.3%. Emerald/Steel follows with seven places, or 21.9%, while Ruby/Sapphire has four, or 12.5%. These are the publisher’s combined finalist figures. They should not be labelled the entry shares of the entire event, a single day’s final standings, or the percentage of all players who used each ink combination.
What a buyer can and cannot infer
A finalist distribution is useful context for deciding which official deck lists to examine. Without the full starting-field distribution, it does not by itself establish a conversion rate for an ink combination. Nor do these totals establish the demand, selling price or future performance of any individual card. Our interpretation is to use the report as a route to further research, rather than a shopping list of guaranteed winning cards.
Read the lists in their original setting
The original report links featured deck lists and gives the Japanese operating team’s detailed commentary. We have not reproduced its strategy analysis or card-by-card sequence. Check the Japanese card versions, event context and current rules before transferring a list into another region or format. We verified the report on 7 November 2026; this article announces no new product, shop allocation or stock offer.
