"'''"The Ties of Friendship"'''", known as "'''"The Deadly Shadow Ghoul"''' " in the Japanese, is the forty-second episode of the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (anime)|''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' second series anime]]. It aired in Japan in February 13, 2001 and in the United States on October 12, 2002.__TOC__
==Summary==
The [[Duel]] between [[Rebecca Hawkins|Rebecca]] and [[Yugi Muto|Yugi]] continues, and Rebecca repeatedly accuses [[Solomon Muto|Solomon]] of stealing her [[Arthur Hawkins|grandfather]]'s "[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon (anime)|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 hieroglyphics 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.

==Differences in adaptations==
* In the dub, "Skelengel" is replaced by "Tribute to The Doomed", and "Electric Snake" is replaced by "Stop Defense" in Rebecca's hand. This is a mistake as later, Rebecca draws "Stop Defense" to change "[[Dark Magician (anime)|Dark Magician]]" to Attack Position.
* In the dub, the woman on "Soul Release" is given a dress to wear.
==Mistakes==
* In one scene, Joey's hair appears brown.
