Is Dark Ruler Ha Des considered to be an archfiend?

Question

Im very confused about this matter because most archfiend decks that i have seen all have him in it but on upperdeck he is not listed and i am not sure if that is because he is a given or because he isnt considered one. I just think that he should be because he is on almost all archfiend or evil looking magic/trap cards hes there so it makes since that he would be considered one but i would like to be sure that he is one before i start playing with him like hes one.

Answer 1

No, he is not. The link in my sources will tell you a few cards that are considered archfiends but don't have it in their name.

Answer 2

You answered your own question. He is not an Archfiend, but doesn't matter. he's still good in an any fiend deck.
