So, I'm 99% sure Tasuku was supposed to be the main character of the show. However, close to release date, Bushiroad changed their mind and made Gao the main character. Here's the evidence:


 * TD03 is a Tasuku Trial Deck. Why? They could've easily put the cards into CP01, as it looks like almost every card in that trial deck will be a reprint. So why make TD03? The answer is that Bushiroad had already made it before TD01 became a thing. When they decided to make Gao the main character, they couldn't market the Tasuku Trial Deck. Instead of scrapping it completely, they decided to postpone it and release it as the third trial deck. The reason I think this is true is because pics of Jackknife Dragon and the Tasuku art Gargantua Punisher were shown at the same time as the spoilers for TD02. However, there weren't any spoilers for Rising Flare Dragon or the Gao art of Gargantua Punisher, my theory explains why.


 * The anime ending only has Tasuku. Bushi had probably already made the opening and ending when they changed the main character to Gao. They probably didn't want to waste too much money, so they couldn't change both the opening and the ending. The opening is obviously more important than the ending, so they only changed the opening. That's why the opening focuses on Gao but the ending focuses on Tasuku.


 * The anime previews we saw made it look like Tasuku was the main character. Why? Because he was the main character. They probably changed the main character to Gao after those previews were released. That's why the previews looked like Tasuku was the main character, but in the actual anime, Gao is the main character.
