[[File:Vlcsnap-2011-05-26-10h40m37s63.png|thumb|left|175px|Solomon Muto, while traveling Egypt]]Solomon visited the Valley of the Kings in hopes of finding [[Pharaoh Atem|the Pharaoh]]'s tomb. He hired two guides , [[Ahmet]] and [[Mushara]] to help him locate and navigate the tomb. The tomb was riddled with traps, which Solomon was able to discover. In one such trap, you had to walk with your left foot forward, as a sign of respect to the statues of the Pharaoh. One of the guides Mushara failed to do so, and was attacked by the statues, and fell to his death. In the final room, the other guide also Ahmet fell victim to a trap and was devoured by a monster. Solomon nearly fell victim as well, but was saved by the spirit of [[Pharaoh Atem]]. It was at the end of this room that he discovered the [[Millennium Puzzle]].

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. Grandpa, Yugi, Tea, Joey, and Tristan later come across [[Rebecca Hawkins]], who accuses Solomon of stealing her grandfather's Blue Eyes White Dragon card. Grandpa denies it, but Rebecca pays no attention. She challenges him to a Duel but ends up faces Yugi instead. Grandpa tries to convince her about what he said and tells her the tale of how he met Arthur Hawkins. She calls Solomon a liar, much to his frustration. When the Duel ended, Arthur reunites with Solomon. Rebecca finally believes Solomon's story and apologizes to Yugi, and he decides to face Arthur in a Duel.

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 way with Yugi when he taught him. Solomon loves games of all sorts, which may be because of his former gambling nature, and is even willing to go to dangerous places, such as during the non-canon Capsule Monsters adventure, to see and experience new games first-hand.

===Grand Championship Solomon used this Deck==={| style="float:right;" border="1" width="30%"! colspan="2" style="background: #00FF00; text-align: center;" | Record|-| '''Opponent''' || '''Outcome'''|-| [[Joey Wheeler]] || Lose|-|} During in his participation in the [[Grand Championship]]Duel with Seto Kaiba. After defeating Solomon, Seto Kaiba took Solomon uses an '''[[Ancient]] Deck''' based mainly around his s "[[Ancient Blue-Eyes White Dragon (anime)|Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]"and tore it in half. In the English dub, his new deck is explained by [[Arthur Hawkins]]. Apparently, Solomon created a competition of sorts with gave his colleague whereby the first person Deck to obtain all seven cards needed Yugi, who used it to summon the Ancient Dragon would get a free milkshake from the loserdefeat Kaiba. Solomon won Yugi then used this bet prior to Deck at the KC Grand Championship, much to Professor Hawkins' chagrin[[Duelist Kingdom]] tournament.

In ===Grand Championship===During the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! Nightmare TroubadourGrand Championship]], he Solomon uses two decks an '''"[[Ancient (DM series)|Ancient]]" Deck''' based around Exodiathe "[[Ancient Dragon (DM 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", 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]]". {{-}}

* Prior to him settling down in his game store, Sugoroku was a world class gambler and sported a hairstyle similar to Yugi's (albeit 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 SugorokuSolomon's Trap Card "[[The Legendary Gambler]]" is Sugoroku himself as a young man, meaning that Sugoroku Solomon is playing a card that refers to himself as a legendary gambler.* In the English version dub of ''Yu-Gi-Oh! GX'', Grandpa Solomon 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 Following Yugi's duel Duel with [[Rebecca Hawkins|Rebecca]] in [[Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 042|episode 42]], it was shown that Solomon had taped the card back together, and was also later seen restored at the end of the episodeit was seen restored.* A running gag in the series ' dub is Sugoroku 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 Solomon Muto's original English dub voice actor, Maddie Blaustein , died in December 2008. As a result, Wayne Grayson (who also portrays Lyman Banner voiced Solomon in the movie) replaces her in the role of Solomon his appearances in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 3-D 3D Bonds Beyond Time]]'' and ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!The Dark Side of Dimensions]]''.*When One of the guides who led him to the Pharaoh's Tomb referred to him as "ApdnargDr. Muto" at one point, indicating that Solomon has a doctorate.* Solomon is introduced the last Duelist to be defeated by [[Joey Wheeler]] in season 4 Yugi says a Duel.* In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie: Pyramid of Light]]'', it is revealed Solomon has a pacemaker ("DonThis thing't we know hims putting out energy waves that are making my pacemaker go haywire!". Yugi also knows who he is before he gets unmasked.)
