Hades IS NOT the god of death. He's the god of the Underworld. I'm tired of people saying that. It's way more accurate to say that Hades is the god of the dead. And the same for others that preside over the dead like Osiris. But do not confuse the god of the dead with the god of death.

And if Hades was participating in the tournament it would have been noted in Volume 22. He's one of the Top 10 beings in the world so his participation would create a big buzz like Indra, Surtr, and Typhon participating.

And right now we can't assume that everyone that dies goes to Hades' portion of the Underworld, especially species not part of Greek mythology, We have no idea what happens to devils, angels, or fallen angels when they die. Especially with every mythology existing. So we shouldn't assume every human that dies goes to Hades' portion of the Underworld since there are other mythologies in DxD. Neither should we assume that EVERYONE that dies goes to Hades' portion of the Underworld.
