*If a monster like "[[Dark Ruler Ha Des]]" or "[[Revived King Ha Des]]" destroys a monster by battle, then the monster's effects are no longer negated if the monster leaves the Graveyard.

* This card's effect includes itself, as long as it remains a [[Fiend]]-[[Type]] monster.
 +
 
 +
* [[Flip Monster Effects|Flip Effects]] and effects that [[activate]] in the [[Graveyard]] WILL be [[negate]]d. This includes "[[Sinister Serpent]]", "[[Sangan]]", "[[Witch of the Black Forest]]", "[[Marie the Fallen One]]", "[[Mystic Tomato]]", "[[Giant Rat]]", "[[Masked Dragon]]", "[[Magician of Faith]]", "[[Man-Eater Bug]]", "[[Nimble Momonga]]", "[[Twin-Headed Behemoth]]", etc.
 +
 
 +
* Monster effects that [[activate]] after [[damage calculation]] will be [[negate]]d if your [[Fiend]]-[[Type]] monster destroys the opposing [[Effect Monster]]. Examples include "[[D.D. Warrior Lady]]", "[[Thousand Needles]]", "[[Slate Warrior]]", "[[Ryu Kokki]]", and "[[Wall of Illusion]]".
  
{{Cleanup}}
+
* If an [[Effect Monster]], destroyed by a [[Fiend]]-[[Type]] monster while "[[Dark Ruler Ha Des]]" is on the field, is returned from the Graveyard to the hand or [[Special Summon]]ed from the Graveyard, its effect will be active again. Its effect may be [[negate]]d again if destroyed by "[[Dark Ruler Ha Des]]" or another [[Fiend]]-[[Type]] monster.
  
* This card's effect includes itself, as long as it remains a Fiend-Type monster.
+
* If one of these [[Effect Monsters]] is [[Banish|removed from play]] (by "[[Soul Release]]" for example) and then returned to the Graveyard with "[[Miracle Dig]]", the [[negate|negation]] condition was lost and the effects will now be active.
  
* Flip Effects and effects that activate in the Graveyard WILL be negated. This includes "Sinister Serpent", "Sangan", "Witch of the Black Forest", "Marie the Fallen One", "Mystic Tomato", "Giant Rat", "Masked Dragon", "Magician of Faith", "Man-Eater Bug", "Nimble Momonga", "Twin-Headed Behemoth", etc.
+
* If "[[Kiseitai]]" is attacked by a [[Fiend]]-[[Type]] monster while "[[Dark Ruler Ha Des]]" is on the field, its effect prevents [[damage calculation]], so it is not [[destroy]]ed and its effect is NOT [[negate]]d.
  
* Monster effects that activate after damage calculation will be negated if your Fiend-Type monster destroys the opposing Effect Monster. Examples include "D.D. Warrior Lady", "Thousand Needles", "Slate Warrior", "Ryu Kokki", and "Wall of Illusion".
+
* If "[[Sinister Serpent]]", "[[Twin-Headed Behemoth]]", or "[[Marie the Fallen One]]" is destroyed by a [[Fiend]]-[[Type]] monster when this card is on the field, they will not [[activate]] on any following turn. So during your opponent's next [[Standby Phase]], and each of their following [[Standby Phase]]s, they may NOT move "[[Sinister Serpent]]" to their hand, [[Special Summon]] "[[Twin-Headed Behemoth]]", and they will NOT gain [[Life Points]] by the effect of "[[Marie the Fallen One]]". This [[negate|negation]] continues even if "[[Dark Ruler Ha Des]]" is later removed from the field.
  
* If an Effect Monster, destroyed by a Fiend-Type monster while "Dark Ruler Ha Des" is on the field, is returned from the Graveyard to the hand or Special Summoned from the Graveyard, its effect will be active again. Its effect may be negated again if destroyed by "Dark Ruler Ha Des" or another Fiend-Type monster.
+
* If your Fiend-Type monster battles with "[[Relinquished]]" [[equipped]] with a "[[Sangan]]" or a "[[Witch of the Black Forest]]" and the [[equipped]] card is destroyed instead of "[[Relinquished]]", the effect of "[[Sangan]]", etc., will [[activate]] since it was the effect of "[[Relinquished]]" that destroyed it. It was not destroyed as a [[Result of Battle|result of battle]] with the [[Fiend]]-[[Type]] monster.
  
* If one of these Effect Monsters is removed from play (by "Soul Release" for example) and then returned to the Graveyard with "Miracle Dig", the negation condition was lost and the effects will now be active.
+
* If your "[[Dark Ruler Ha Des]]" or other [[Fiend]]-[[Type]] monster [[destroy]]s "[[Tyrant Dragon]]" as a [[Result of Battle|result of battle]], a [[Dragon]]-[[Type]] monster must still be [[Tribute]]d when "[[Tyrant Dragon]]" is [[Special Summon]]ed from the Graveyard. This is because [[Tribute|Tributing]] a [[Dragon]]-[[Type]] monster is a condition on the [[Summon]]ing of the card; it is not part of the effect. For the same reason, if a [[Spirit Monster Cards|Spirit Monster]] is destroyed by a [[Fiend]]-[[Type]] monster when "[[Dark Ruler Ha Des]]" is on the field, it still cannot be [[Special Summon]]ed from the Graveyard. Also if two "[[Dark Ruler Ha Des]]" destroy each other in battle, neither can be [[Special Summon]]ed from the Graveyard.
  
* If "Kisetai" is attacked by a Fiend-Type monster while "Dark Ruler Ha Des" is on the field, its effect prevents damage calculation, so it is not destroyed and its effect is NOT negated.
+
* "[[Dark Ruler Ha Des]]" cannot be [[Special Summon]]ed from the Graveyard even if you try to [[Special Summon]] it [[face-down]] by the effect of "[[Spear Cretin]]" or "[[The Shallow Grave]]".
  
* If "Sinister Serpent", "Twin-Headed Behemoth", or "Marie the Fallen One" is destroyed by a Fiend-Type monster when this card is on the field, they will not activate on any following turn. So during your opponent's next Standby Phase, and each of his/her following Standby Phases, they may NOT move "Sinister Serpent" to their hand, Special Summon "Twin-Headed Behemoth", and they will NOT gain Life Points by the effect of "Marie the Fallen One". This negation continues even if "Dark Ruler Ha Des" is later removed from the field.
+
* You can [[activate]] "[[Return of the Doomed]]" to return "[[Dark Ruler Ha Des]]" to your hand during the turn which it was destroyed, because this does not [[Special Summon]] it, it merely returns the card to your hand.
  
* If your Fiend-Type monster battles with "Relinquished" equipped with a "Sangan" or a "Witch of the Black Forest" and the equipped card is destroyed instead of "Relinquished", the effect of "Sangan", etc., will activate since it was the effect of "Relinquished" that destroyed it. It was not destroyed as a result of battle with the Fiend-Type monster.
+
* The effect of "[[Fiber Jar]]" will shuffle "[[Dark Ruler Ha Des]]" back into your Deck even if "[[Dark Ruler Ha Des]]" is in the Graveyard and cannot be [[Special Summon]]ed.
  
* If your "Dark Ruler Ha Des" or other Fiend-Type monster destroys "Tyrant Dragon" as a result of battle, a Dragon-Type monster must still be Tributed when "Tyrant Dragon" is Special Summoned from the Graveyard. This is because Tributing a Dragon-Type monster is a condition on the Summoning of the card; it is not part of the effect. For the same reason, if a Spirit Monster is destroyed by a Fiend-Type monster when "Dark Ruler Ha Des" is on the field, it still cannot be Special Summoned from the Graveyard. Also if two "Dark Ruler Ha Des" destroy each other in battle, neither can be Special Summoned from the Graveyard.
+
* "[[Dark Ruler Ha Des]]" may be [[Special Summon]]ed by "[[Dimension Fusion]]" or "[[Return from the Different Dimension]]" if it was [[Banish|removed from play]].
  
* "Dark Ruler Ha Des" cannot be Special Summoned from the Graveyard even if you try to Special Summon it face-down by the effect of "Spear Cretin" or "The Shallow Grave".

TCG Rulings

Mentions in Other Rulings

OCG Rulings

  • If a monster like "Dark Ruler Ha Des" or "Revived King Ha Des" destroys a monster by battle, then the monster's effects are no longer negated if the monster leaves the Graveyard. Thus, if "Summoner Monk" is destroyed by battle with "Dark Ruler Ha Des" and is then Special Summoned from the Graveyard, its effects are no longer negated, so you can Special Summon a Level 4 monster from the Deck.[1]

Versus Specific Cards

Previously Official Rulings

  • This card's effect includes itself, as long as it remains a Fiend-Type monster.

Mentions in Other Rulings

  • D.D. Scout Plane: If "D.D. Scout Plane" is destroyed by "Dark Ruler Ha Des" and then removed from play to Special Summon "Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy of the End", "D.D. Scout Plane"'s effect activates and it will be Special Summoned.
  • D.D. Scout Plane: If "D.D. Scout Plane" is destroyed by "Lesser Fiend", "D.D. Scout Plane"'s effect activates and it is Special Summoned even if "Dark Ruler Ha Des" was also in play when it was destroyed.

This effect works the same as the effect of "Dark Ruler Ha Des"; see that card's rulings for more details.
  • Gyroid: If "Gyroid" is attacked for the first time in a turn by "Dark Ruler Ha Des", "Gyroid"'s effect is not negated because it will not be destroyed.
  • Heavy Mech Support Platform: If "Reflect Bounder" equipped with "Heavy Mech Support Platform" is attacked by "Dark Ruler Ha Des", during damage calculation "Heavy Mech Support Platform" is destroyed instead of "Reflect Bounder". Then, after damage calculation, "Reflect Bounder" will destroy itself by its own effect. Its effect is not negated, because it was not destroyed by "Dark Ruler Ha Des".
  • Question: If a monster is named with "Question" that could not be Special Summoned, "Question"'s effect disappears and the monster is neither Special Summoned nor removed from play. So the effect of "Question" disappears if the bottom monster is incorrectly named and is..."Dark Ruler Ha Des"...
