Solomon tells the story of how he met [[Arthur Hawkins]]. It was at an archaeological dig in Egypt years ago. Arthur was reading some Egyptian hieroglyphics and notice they resemble Duel Monsters, making him believe that ancient Egyptians used these monsters in battle for power and control. Unfortunately, no one believed him, but he never gave up on his research. One day, Solomon and Arthur were in a tomb when the roof caved in, trapping the two men. There was only enough water for one person, so they decide to Duel for it. In the end, Solomon surrenders, even though he could have won, because he knew Arthur would need the water more than him. He notices the duel between Rebecca and Yugi is going in the exact same way as the duel he had.

In the end, Yugi does surrender. Solomon shows the Blue-Eyes White Dragon to Rebecca, which to Rebecca's shock has been taped together. Rebecca rages out of control upon seeing this, but Arthur arrives and tells Rebecca to behave herself. He shows Rebecca the top card of Yugi's Deck, which was [[Soul Release]]. It would have allowed Yugi to remove up to five cards from either player's [[Graveyard]]. This would have dropped her [[Shadow Ghoul]]'s [[ATK]] to 2300, allowing Yugi's [[Dark Magician]] to destroy it to win the Duel. Arthur explains that Yugi deliberately forfeited to teach Rebecca about the [[Heart of the Cards]] and that there is more to life that winning.

−
*Many errors occur during this duel involving Cannon Soldier. For starters, the actual Cannon Soldier has an ATK of 1400 and a DEF of 1300. When Rebecca summons Cannon Soldier, it shows it being summoned with 400 ATK and 1300 DEF. Also, when Rebecca uses Cannon Soldier's effect, it originally deals 400 points of damage rather than 500 as it does on the actual card. However, when Rebecca uses Shadow Ghoul to destroy Dark Magician, Yugi's Life Points are shown to go from 1000 to 800 meaning that Cannon Soldier's effect did inflict 500 points of damage (even though it originally reduced Yugi's Life Points by 400 on the previous episode). Finally, when Yugi attacks and destroys Cannon Soldier with Summoned Skull, Cannon Soldier's ATK is raised to 1400 therefore Rebecca only loses 1100 Life Points, which prevents her from losing with that attack.

<references group="note" />

*There was also a mistake at the end of the episode, when it shows the Ties of Friendship and the Blue-Eyes White Dragon card. During the episode, the Blue-Eyes White Dragon card was always shown as being Taped together. At the end of the Episode, though, when it shows the Ties of Friendship and the Blue-Eyes White Dragon cards, the Blue-Eyes White Dragon is intact, as if it was never ripped apart.

"The Ties of Friendship", known as "The Deadly Shadow Ghoul" in the Japanese, is the forty-second episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime. It aired in Japan in February 13, 2001 and in the United States on October 12, 2002.

Summary[edit]

The Duel between Rebecca and Yugi continues, and Rebecca repeatedly accuses Solomon of stealing her grandfather's "Blue-Eyes White Dragon", getting on everyone's nerves.

Solomon tells the story of how he met Arthur Hawkins. It was at an archaeological dig in Egypt years ago. Arthur was reading some Egyptian hieroglyphs and notice they resemble Duel Monsters, making him believe that ancient Egyptians used these monsters in battle for power and control. Unfortunately, no one believed him, but he never gave up on his research. One day, Solomon and Arthur were in a tomb when the roof caved in, trapping the two men. There was only enough water for one person, so they decide to Duel for it. In the end, Solomon surrenders, even though he could have won, because he knew Arthur would need the water more than him. He notices the Duel between Rebecca and Yugi is going in the exact same way as the Duel he had.

In the end, Yugi does surrender. Rebecca demands her "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" card back. Solomon reluctantly shows the "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" to Rebecca, which (to Rebecca's shock) has been taped together. Rebecca rages out of control upon seeing this as she thinks Solomon tore it up. Solomon tries to tell Rebecca he would never do such a thing, but Rebecca again won't listen to him.

At this point, Arthur arrives and tells Rebecca to behave herself. He shows Rebecca the top card of Yugi's Deck, which was "Soul Release". It would have allowed Yugi to remove up to five cards from either player's Graveyard. This would have decreased the ATK of "Shadow Ghoul" to 2300, allowing Yugi's "Dark Magician" to destroy it and win the Duel.

Rebecca is shocked upon finding out about this, but she asks why did Yugi forfeit when he had the chance to win. Arthur explains that Yugi deliberately forfeited to teach Rebecca about the Heart of the Cards and that there is more to life than winning. Rebecca apologizes and to prove their friendship, Yugi gives her the "The Ties of Friendship" card that he got from Maximillion Pegasus in the previous episode.

Featured Duel: Yugi Muto vs. Rebecca Hawkins[edit]

Duel continues from the previous episode.

Yugi has 1000 LP remaining and controls "Summoned Skull" (2500/1200) in Attack Position and no Set cards.
Rebecca has 1300 LP remaining and controls "Cannon Soldier" (1400/1300) in Attack Position, "Millennium Shield" (0/2500) in Defense Position equipped with "Ring of Magnetism", and no Set cards.

Turn 12: Yugi
Yugi draws "Catapult Turtle" and subsequently Normal Summons it (1000/2000) in Attack Position. He then activates "Brain Control" to take control of "Millennium Shield" until the end of this turn. He then activates the effect of "Catapult Turtle" to Tribute "Millennium Shield" and inflict damage to Rebecca equal to half the ATK of "Millennium Shield", which is 0. "Summoned Skull" attacks and destroys "Cannon Soldier" (Rebecca: 1300 → 200 LP).

Turn 13: Rebecca
Rebecca's hand contains "Electric Snake", "Sangan", "Witch of the Black Forest", "Skelengel", another "Sangan" and "Shadow Ghoul". Rebecca draws "Judgment Blaster" and subsequently activates it to discard five cards from her hand and destroy every monster on Yugi's side of the field. She then Normal Summons "Shadow Ghoul" (1600/1300) in Attack Position. Due to the effect of "Shadow Ghoul", it gains 100 ATK for every monster in Rebecca's Graveyard, and there are eleven ("Shadow Ghoul": 1600 → 2700/1300).

Turn 14: Yugi
Yugi draws a monster and subsequently Sets it.

Turn 15: Rebecca
