Rocks leads attention, not the meta: OP17's first numbers

Across 563 Chinoize Cup OP17 entries, Rocks.D.Xebec leads representation at 18.7%, ahead of Sabo 17.1%, Mihawk 14.9% and Kaido 11.2% — but Mihawk and black Luffy took the wins.

The first sizeable OP17 dataset is online, not physical: 563 Chinoize Cup entries. It tells us what people are playing, not yet what is winning.

Early representation

  • Rocks.D.Xebec — 18.7%. Highest encounter-rate signal; dominance unproven.
  • Sabo — 17.1%. The existing shell is still highly relevant.
  • Mihawk — 14.9%. Won the 25 August cup 6-0; the most interesting conversion watch.
  • Kaido — 11.2%. Substantial adoption, major-event conversion pending.
  • Black Monkey.D.Luffy OP17 — below leading share, but won the 26 August cup 6-0.
  • Nico Robin — 3.7%. Capable of Top 8s, too early to elevate.
