Weiss Schwarz Rascal Does Not Dream Vol.4: What Is in the Box Before the October 23 Release

The quick version

• Rascal Does Not Dream Vol.4 releases in English on October 23, 2026. It is the fourth English Rascal Does Not Dream booster, and the box art reads Rascal Does Not Dream of Santa Claus.
• 100 cards plus 122 parallels. 8 cards per pack, 10 packs per box, 12 boxes per carton.
• At the top of the rarity list: 1 SIR (Serial Rare), 2 ABR (AoButa Rare), 1 SEC, 8 SSP and 10 SP.
• Hot-stamped signature cards from 11 voice actors and from original author Hajime Kamoshida, plus 12 newly drawn illustrations.
• It plays with every earlier English Rascal set (card numbers SBY/ and Gby/). Pull rates do not exist yet, so this guide has none.

The Rascal Does Not Dream series is back in Weiss Schwarz English on October 23, 2026, this time with the Rascal Does Not Dream of Santa Claus story on the box. Here is what Bushiroad has published about Vol.4 so far, how it fits with the three earlier English Rascal boosters, and what is still unknown a week before release.

TCGGuy has the Rascal Does Not Dream Vol.4 Booster Box open for pre-order. The product page shows live pricing and availability.

What is Rascal Does Not Dream Vol.4?

Bushiroad describes the series as a heart-wavering teen romance fantasy, and this booster draws its illustrations from Rascal Does Not Dream of Santa Claus, which the official page says reached its climax last September. The original author, Hajime Kamoshida, signs one of the hot-stamped cards in the set.

Vol.4 is Bushiroad's own numbering for the English line. The three boosters before it:

• Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai, November 15, 2019: 100 cards plus 32 parallels.
• Rascal Does Not Dream of a Dreaming Girl, October 14, 2022: 100 cards plus 33 parallels.
• Rascal Does Not Dream Series, March 28, 2025: 100 cards plus 104 parallels.
• Rascal Does Not Dream Vol.4, October 23, 2026: 100 cards plus 122 parallels.

The parallel count has grown with every set. Vol.4 has more parallel cards than regular ones, which is where the collecting side of this box lives.

What is in a Vol.4 box?

From the official product page:

• Release: October 23, 2026 (English edition, for sale worldwide except Japan).
• Configuration: 8 cards per pack, 10 packs per display box, 12 display boxes per carton.
• Card count: 100 types (Normal) plus 122 types (Parallel).
• Signatures: hot-stamped signature cards from 11 cast members and the original author can appear in packs.
• New art: 12 newly drawn illustrations.

The page lists no box PR card, carton topper or playmat for Vol.4. Earlier Rascal boosters had carton playmats, so do not assume one here until Bushiroad says so.

What are the rarities, and what are the chase cards?

The official breakdown of the 222 cards:

The 100 regular cards are the RR, R, U, C and CR rows. Everything above RRR is a parallel print of one of them.

Two rarity names are new to the English Rascal line: SIR, which Bushiroad expands as Serial Rare, and ABR, AoButa Rare, after the series' Japanese nickname. There is one SIR and there are two ABR cards. The official English page gives their names and counts and nothing more, so we are not going to guess at serial numbering, finish or print run. Below them sit one SEC, eight SSP and ten SP cards. The SSP cards are the ones Bushiroad has shown so far: the product page carries foil-on samples of all eight (card numbers W136 E002, E003, E004, E025, E026, E073, E074 and E075). Three of them:

Because the set has not released, there are no pull rates to report and no market order for the chase cards. We will add both to the card list article once real boxes have been opened.

Whose signatures are in the packs?

Bushiroad lists the hot-stamped signature cards by signer, with how many signed cards each has in the set:

• Asami Seto (as Mai Sakurajima) x 1
• Sora Amamiya (as Uzuki Hirokawa) x 2
• Aya Yamane (as Ikumi Akagi) x 2
• Kotomi Kohara (as Sara Himeji) x 2
• Manaka Ishimi (as Mitou Miori) x 2
• Reina Ueda (as Mini Skirt Santa) x 2
• Nao Toyama (as Tomoe Koga) x 2
• Atsumi Tanezaki (as Rio Futaba) x 2
• Maya Uchida (as Nodoka Toyohama) x 2
• Yurika Kubo (as Kaede Azusagawa) x 2
• Inori Minose (as Shoko Makinohara) x 1
• Hajime Kamoshida (original author) x 1

That is 21 signed cards across 12 signers. The author signature is the unusual one: most Weiss Schwarz sets stamp voice actors only.

Which illustrations are new?

Twelve cards carry illustrations drawn for this set, per the official page:

• Mai Sakurajima x 2
• Uzuki Hirokawa x 2
• Mini Skirt Santa x 2
• Ikumi Akagi, Sara Himeji, Miori Mitou, Tomoe Koga, Rio Futaba, Nodoka Toyohama and Kaede Azusagawa, one each

Can you play Vol.4 with the older Rascal sets?

Yes. Weiss Schwarz decks are built from a single title under the Neo-Standard rule, and the official page states that Vol.4 cards may be used together with cards whose numbers begin with SBY/ or Gby/. That covers the Bunny Girl Senpai, Dreaming Girl and Rascal Does Not Dream Series boosters and the trial deck. If you are new to how Weiss Schwarz handles licensed sets, our explainer on why every Weiss Schwarz set is a different anime covers the basics.

Is there a card list yet?

Not in English. As of October 18, 2026 the official English card list covers the three earlier Rascal boosters and the trial deck, but has no Vol.4 entry. The only Vol.4 cards shown so far are the eight SSP samples on the product page. When Bushiroad publishes the list, we will post a full card list with every card, parallel and PR, the way we do for our other Weiss Schwarz sets.

Where can you track Vol.4 prices?

We do not print prices in our guides because they go stale fast. TCGGuy Market Insights tracks the sealed Vol.4 products nightly from public US marketplace listings and sales, under the set's box-art name, Rascal Does Not Dream of Santa Claus. It shows presale pricing until release and the change since release after it. Single-card prices for Weiss Schwarz are not on Market Insights.

Bottom line: Vol.4 is a 10-pack box with 100 regular cards, 122 parallels and a signature list that includes the original author. The SIR and the two ABR cards are the headline rarities, and until the set is opened nobody knows how they pull. If you want the box at pre-order pricing, the Booster Box page is the place; the card list follows when Bushiroad publishes it.
