Market outlook
Stable Outlook 7/10
Pricing appears anchored by collector demand for a modern Secret Rare and by consistent grading premiums. Without major renewed game hype or a sudden population squeeze, the card is more likely to move gradually than spike dramatically.
Next months. Likely to remain range-bound with small fluctuations based on graded supply and marketplace activity.
Long term. Over 1-3 years, gradual appreciation is possible if sealed Critical Blow supply tightens and collector interest in DBSCG strengthens, with gem-mint copies likely retaining the strongest premium.
History
Bursting Rage (BT22-138) is a Secret Rare extra card from Dragon Ball Super Card Game: Critical Blow. The card’s name is not a character name but a thematic attack/event card tied to the Dragon Ball Super anime/manga universe, representing a climactic explosive power-up/finisher style effect. In DBSCG, Secret Rares are the chase cards of a set and typically feature iconic, high-impact artwork and effects that appeal to both players and collectors.
First released in English in Dragon Ball Super Card Game: Critical Blow (BT22), released September 8, 2023. The card appears in the BT22-138 slot as the set’s Secret Rare extra card.
- Card number BT22-138 identifies it as the Secret Rare chase slot for Critical Blow.
- Market references show it exists in multiple graded forms, including graded 10, graded 10, and graded 10, with significantly higher prices than ungraded copies.
- The card is a DBSCG Extra type and is part of the ZENKAI Series CRITICAL BLOW product line, making it more relevant to collectors than competitive players.

Collector notes
Condition. Check for whitening on edges and corners, surface scratches, centering, and any holo/scratch-line defects. Secret Rares often show print-line sensitivity, especially on dark or foil-heavy areas. Look carefully for edge wear from factory cutting and sleeve/play damage if pulled from packs.
Storage. Store immediately in a soft penny sleeve and rigid top loader or card saver, then keep in a dry, temperature-stable environment away from UV light. For higher-value copies, consider a semi-rigid holder and, if grading, avoid touching surfaces and corners.
Authenticity. Verify the exact card number BT22-138, set branding, and official DBSCG print quality. Authentic copies should have consistent holo treatment, crisp text, and proper back-print coloration. Reprints or counterfeits often show blurry text, incorrect foil patterns, off-color backs, or poor cut alignment. For graded copies, verify the slab serial and certification on the grader’s website. Special stamp references of 104 and 500 should be treated carefully; confirm any claimed special-stamp variant with authoritative photos and seller documentation because stamped promos/variants can be misrepresented.
