The third Sannin, and the series’ longest-running antagonist, and the count below is everything the manufacturer’s own gallery holds for Orochimaru — including the printings that share a card number and differ only in rarity or version name.
How many Orochimaru cards are there?
The third Sannin, and the series’ longest-running antagonist. The gallery holds 17 records under the name Orochimaru. Those 17 records resolve to 12 card-number-and-version pairings across 7 card numbers, because the same number is reused for printings at different rarities. The earliest printing is dated 2026-03-13 and the most recent 2026-09-04.
| Rarity code | Records | Where it appears |
|---|---|---|
| R | 4 | Set 1 and Set 2. |
| RA | 3 | Set 1 and Set 2. |
| S | 3 | Set 1 and Set 2. |
| C | 2 | Set 1. |
| M | 2 | Set 1 and Set 2. |
| UC | 2 | Set 1. |
| SV | 1 | Set 1. |
Across the two recorded sets that is 12 in Set 1 (Konoha Shidō) and 5 in Set 2 (Shinobi Shiren). By edition the split is 11 first-edition records and 6 second-edition records.
Every Orochimaru card, listed
Every Orochimaru record the gallery holds, in card-number order. “Card number” is the number printed on the card itself; a card number can carry more than one printing at more than one rarity, which is why some numbers appear several times. Chakra is the cost in the top-left of the card and power is the printed value. Effect text is quoted as printed.

Orochimaru — the strongest cards
The highest power printed on any Orochimaru card is 10. The top of the range looks like this:
| Card number | Version | Rarity | Chakra | Power |
|---|---|---|---|---|
145/140 |
Battle of the Sannin | S | 8 | 10 |
138/130 |
Reanimation | S | 6 | 8 |
138/130 |
Reanimation | SV | 6 | 8 |
138/130 |
Reanimation | S | 6 | 8 |
126/130 |
Stay out of my way. | R | 7 | 7 |
Power is not the same as usefulness. A card’s chakra cost is what it takes to play it, and the effect line is what it does once it is in play; a high-power card that costs more chakra than the deck can produce is not the strongest card in the set.
Who Orochimaru duels
Some Orochimaru cards carry a DUEL line, which names a specific opposing character and gives an effect that only fires against that character. The gallery prints these:
- Sasuke Uchiha — 2 cards. See every Sasuke Uchiha card.
- Hiruzen Sarutobi — 2 cards. See every Hiruzen Sarutobi card.
What Orochimaru’s cards have in common
Every Orochimaru record in the gallery is filed under Sound Village (17), so the group line does not vary between cards. The keyword lines do vary, and they show what the card is expected to be used with:
| Keyword | Records |
|---|---|
| Sannin | 17 |
| Jutsu | 7 |
| Team Dosu | 2 |
Every card of this character in the gallery is a Character card — the line has not printed this character as any other card type.
Orochimaru in the Naruto Card Game
Bandai’s Naruto Card Game, the 2027 game, has shown a different set of cards from the Mythos line. For Orochimaru, the revealed cards are:
N-REV-1— Reveal. One of the twelve artwork reveals.
Those are reveals and display cards, not a card list: the game does not release until 2027 and Bandai has published no numbering for it. See every Naruto Card Game card that has been shown for the full set.

Orochimaru is filed under Sound in our index, alongside 5 other characters.

| Jugo | 0 |
| Karin | 0 |

How these counts are made
The counts on this page are read out of the manufacturer’s own card gallery rather than estimated. A “record” is one entry in that gallery: where the same card is held in more than one edition, each edition is its own record, which is why the record count reads higher than a count of distinct cards would. Rarity codes are shown exactly as the gallery prints them, and where the gallery prints a code without explaining it, the code is shown rather than a name invented for it. Prices are not quoted: there is no tracked market for these cards that we can quote from. See the full Naruto card list for the same data taken across every character at once.
