Are gladiator beast contact fusions considered fusion summons?

Question

in other words can they be negated by non-fusion area?

Answer 1

"Fusion Summoning is the act of Special Summoning a Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck using "Polymerization" or any other card effects which explicitly state the Summon is a Fusion Summon."

In other words, the card text indicates "This card can only be Special Summoned..." is NOT a Fusion Summon, therefore Gladiator Beast Fusion Monsters can still be Special Summoned on the field if Non-Fusion Area is face-up on the field because it is not a Fusion Summon. However keep in mind that if they are Special Summoned properly and is sent to the Graveyard or Removed from Play (except when returning to the Deck) they can still be Special Summoned with another card effect (D.D.R. - Different Dimension Reincarnation, Premature Burial, etc.).
