Ah, so that's where Zayn was from. Felt like his name was familiar, but was never the biggest One Direction fan so I didn't make the connection.

Of all the weirder archetypes I'd have to mention Burning Abyss, which is themed specifically around the eight circle of hell as depicted in Dante's Divine Comedy. This archetype is all about throwing the demons named in the Divine Comedy into the GY to do stuff, with one of the Dante. And yes, Dante's guide from the Divine Comedy is here as well, reimagined as Virgil, Rock star of the Burning Abyss. A personal favorite archetype of mine is the Dinomist one: Pendulum summoning a bunch of robot dinosaurs onto the field, with boss monsters like Rex who can tribute monsters to gain extra attacks that deal piercing damage against defense position monsters, and Spino who can tribute monsters to attack twice, attack your opponent directly or even both. They work through tribute because they're the biggest carnivores you can field, and they gain power through eating others of their kind. They're also FTK capable with either some drawing power or if your opponent does not summon a bunch of boss monsters in one turn.
Rush Duel is sadly not in English outside of the two games, which is a shame since it looks pretty cool. Putting your Ritual monsters into the Extra Deck does sound neat, but A: this would mess with a major number of Ritual support cards and B: this is what Synchro was supposed to be.
Oh, and Zayn Malik is one of the founding members of One Direction, so on top of having 5D's Yugioh also has 1D.
