Is it a coincidence that the LDS Extra Deck representatives all used Duel Terminal archetypes or was that on purpose?
Intentional I think?
Like. It can't be proven outright, but ARC-V, especially early on, was doing a lot of "Yu-Gi-Oh! is out of the wilderness and we're bigger and better than ever", and to help with that, they chose like 3 Tournament or close to Tournament tier Decks to emphasize Masumi, Yaiba and Hokuto being elites at LDS.
And it was probably to tie in with the fact that Yu-Gi-Oh! was starting a new Duel Terminal storyline in DUEA onwards.
Basically good cross promotion and fan service, and it was sort of done also to set up Reiji's competency with "He's the guy above these three who use Decks you know are good and were big deals during 5D's and ZEXAL!"
