Dragon Ball Super Divers Set 13: Date and Features

Set 13 Awakened Resolve launches Japan 19 Nov 2026 with Buchinuki, new action skills, and anniversary events. Official card list not public yet—watch this hub.

11/11/2026 Set 13 Last updated: 11/11/2026 6 min read

Set 13 of Dragon Ball Super Divers is Awakened Resolve, Bandai’s second-anniversary wave for the arcade digital card game. It is scheduled to launch across Japan on 19 November 2026 (JST). English press uses that subtitle; the Japanese working title is 覚醒の決意 (kakusei no ketsui), which we translate here only for search clarity and not as an official card name.

As of 11 November 2026, the official card list still stops at earlier sets. Bandai’s Japanese news says modes and the full card table will be disclosed later. This page lists confirmed rules and events only. It does not include card numbers, stats, drop rates, or leaked rosters.

For every prior launch date, see the release timeline. For the last fully listed set, see Set 12 Innate Attack.

What Bandai has confirmed for Awakened Resolve

English news on dragon-ball-official.com and Japanese posts on dbsdv.com align on the following:

New stage rule Buchinuki System / Buchinuki Chance Area

Buchinuki System and Buchinuki Chance Area

Buchinuki (ブチヌキ, unofficial romanization) is the headline rules change. Bandai’s English Strongest Jump tie-in text calls it the Buchinuki System; the transformed zone is the Buchinuki Chance Area.

Mechanics confirmed on the official guide pages:

  • When: Round 1 only, the second area (2nd area) becomes the Buchinuki Chance Area instead of a normal layout zone.
  • On win: If you win the attack Strike Battle in that zone, every attacking card there regains full ki, and the team gains one additional ki orb (unofficial translation of the official Japanese ki-orb term on the guide pages).
  • Cap: The maximum ki orbs per team rises from four to five while this system is active.

This sits alongside the older BUPPA System from Set 7, which still shifts the third area on later rounds. Read both layers in Strike Battle and BUPPA and the layout rules in how to play.

New action skills: Buchinuki Strike and True Awakening

Set 13 introduces two named action skills in official copy:

Buchinuki Strike — During battle, rock plates appear. Timed button presses break more plates, dealing heavy damage that ignores Guard (official Japanese description summarized in English news).

True Awakening — A card-rub style action where two fused fighters build ki and awaken toward Vegito (official examples reference a Xeno-era pairing in promotional text).

Which Battle Cards carry these skills is not confirmed until the card list publishes. Do not trust social reposts of unreleased stats.

Modes and anniversary campaigns (no card leaks)

Beyond the core set, Japanese news headlines (not fully translated in English yet) point to:

  • Challenge Dive bosses: Gogeta (Xeno) SS3 and Broly SS3 join the high-difficulty rotation.
  • Strike Battle Rush update themed around Tien teaching the spirit cannon (unofficial translation of the Japanese event title).
  • Anniversary branding such as four God Rare anniversary rewards, lottery-chance events, and treasure-box style promos tied to the second year.

We do not list gift cards or GODRare pull odds because Bandai has not published a complete English table. Watch dbsdv.com/news/ after launch.

Buchinuki Start Dash (store distribution)

Official Japanese news schedules Buchinuki Start Dash store giveaways from 21 November 2026, two days after the set launch. That campaign is separate from normal ¥100 plays. Specific promo card names are still pending on the list.

PUR themes reported by a Japanese fan site (not Bandai)

A Japanese secondary-market blog dbfw-days (Fusion World focused, but they cover DBSDV) describes Set 13 PUR coverage as:

  • Five PUR cards themed around Buchinuki Strike
  • Five PUR cards in a Special Limited PUR group that remained unannounced on that site as of 26 October 2026

That split is reported by dbfw-days, not confirmed by Bandai. Treat it as one fan site’s preview chatter until the official list shows SDV13-PUR rows. We will not copy their card art or full tables.

Set 13 vs Set 12 for collectors

Set 12 Innate Attack (17 September 2026) is the newest set with a complete public list today: 87 rows including PUR panoramas and twin SEC cards. Profile pages such as SDV12 SEC Vegeta and SDV12-011 Turles cover individual highlights.

Awakened Resolve layers Buchinuki on top of that meta. If you are buying imports before flying to Japan, see how to buy from outside Japan. For rarity vocabulary, see the rarity guide.

Comparison with Fusion World Set schedules

Dragon Ball Super Card Game Fusion World ships physical English boosters on a different calendar. It is not the same product line. See Super Divers vs Fusion World before you mix up SDV13 with FB11.
