===Yu-Gi-Oh!===
====Duelist Kingdom====
Kaiba wants the "[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon (anime)|Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]" and decides to challenge Grandpa to a Duel. Grandpa loses and his card is torn, because Kaiba has the other three "Blue-Eyes White Dragons" and unable to have a fourth copy, in his Deck, the card could only be used against him. Grandpa is sent to the hospital as Yugi duels Duels Kaiba. His soul is later sealed inside a card by Pegasus and freed after Yugi defeats Pegasus.

====Battle City====
When the Battle City tournament started, Solomon was eager to see the event. He was present for [[Joey]]'s three duels Duels against [[Espa Roba]], [[Weevil Underwood]], and [[Mako Tsunami]], along with [[Tea]] and [[Tristan]], offering support and advice for Joey. When [[Bakura]] was found injured, Solomon took him to the hospital. He got knocked out by [[Yami Bakura]] later on.
====Grand Championship====

Grandpa competes in Kaiba's [[Grand Championship|KaibaCorp Grand Prix]] tournament under the alias "'''Apdnarg Otum'''"/ "''' Grandpa Muto (Backwards)'''" ("'''Mask the Rock'''" in the Japanese version), yet Joey manages to defeat him. The English name is "Grandpa Muto" backwards. The Japanese name is a pun of "''Mask the Roku''". Roku is six in Japanese, and "Sugoroku" means "double-six". The deck Deck used is an '''Ancient-themed''' deck Deck with consisting mostly of [[Rock]] monsters.
====Dawn of the Duel====
== Personality ==
Solomon Muto is Yugi's grandfather and with his father's absence, he is is Yugi's ultimate provider. He is smart, kind-hearted, funny, silly, loving, resourceful, gentle, and of course grandfatherly. He is also the one who taught [[Yugi Muto|Yugi]] and [[Joey Wheeler|Joey]] how to duelDuel. When he taught Joey he was strict, giving all sorts of lessons and usually being tough on him, but still encouraging him on how much he has grown and is proud of him. Chances are he was the same on Yugi when he taught him.

Yugi's ''[[Duelist Kingdom]]'' Deck was once Solomon's, passed on to Yugi. In the manga, he uses one card that Yugi does not later use, "[[Hobbit]]".<!-- Do not list Yugi's Duelist Kingdom Deck here. The link is enough.-->

During his participation in the [[Grand Championship]], Solomon uses an '''"[[Ancient]]" Deck''' based around the "[[Ancient Dragon (anime)|Ancient Dragon]]", which can be revived whenever it is destroyed as long as he has "[[Ancient City]]" in play. However, the card is very difficult to play, requiring a set of six other cards and several turns to set up. According to [[Arthur Hawkins]], the Grand Championship was the first time Solomon was able to call the "[[Ancient Dragon (anime)|Ancient Dragon]]", and in the dub is implied to be the only person Arthur knows to have ever done it. Besides his "Ancient" cards, Solomon tests [[Joey Wheeler|Joey's]] reliance on luck with "[[The Legendary Gambler]]" and "[[Ordeal of a Traveler (anime)|Ordeal of a Traveler]]".

====World Championship 2004====
Solomon is the first opponent available to the player who uses an [[Exodia]] Deck (the other opponents are [[Seeker|Rare Hunter]] and [[Shimon Muran|Simon]] whose Exodia Decks are much more potent). However, since he is a tier one duelistDuelist, his cards are very weak, and he doesn't have many cards that enable him to draw, presenting himself with a very difficult challenge of acquiring all five Exodia cards in his hand. Still, he uses 1 copy of [[Blue-Eyes White Dragon]], although he makes a habit of tributing Tributing even this card to summon his [[Giant Turtle Who Feeds on Flames]].

==Trivia==
* Prior to him settling down in his game store, Sugoroku was a world class gambler and sported a hairstyle similar to Yugi's (although with a fedora). After acing every game of chance he ever competed in, he made a bet with himself. If he should ever lose a game, he'd retire, open a store and wear overalls for the rest of his life. That said, it would appear he eventually lost a game.
* The man displayed on Sugoroku's "[[Legendary Gambler]]" is Sugoroku himself as a young man, meaning that Sugoroku is playing a card that refers to himself as a legendary gambler.
* In the English version of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, Grandpa has a "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" in his shop despite the fact that Seto Kaiba ripped his only "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" in the first episode of the second series anime. However, this is not a mistake, as that same card was shown taped back together following Yugi's duel Duel with [[Rebecca Hawkins|Rebecca]] in [[Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 042|episode 42]], and was also later seen restored at the end of the episode.* A running gag in the series' English dub is Solomon muttering "not again" when he is attacked before he faints. He mutters this line when attacked by [[Yami Bakura]], and in [[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]] when he is attacked by [[Thunder (character)|Thunder]].
* Because Maddie Blaustein died in December 2008, Wayne Grayson replaces her in the role of Solomon in Yu-Gi-Oh! 3-D Bonds Beyond Time! (Grayson also portrays Lyman Banner in the same movie).
* When "Apdnarg" is introduced in season 5 Yugi says "Don't we know him". Yugi also knows who he is before he gets unmasked.
