There aren’t any official pull rates for the Japanese game yet but anecdotally I’ve pulled 4 SRs and one ★ per booster box. APs are a case hit ie. one per case and ★★ and ★★★ are even harder to pull than that.

There seems to be enough interest in bringing the game to english. So far Bleach HunterxHunter and Jujutsu Kaisen are releasing first. Demon Slayer and One Punch Man will release in the second wave.
