John's Admired Knight, Who Rides a Wooden Horse.
I am the hero of la Mancha, Don Quixote-sama!
(Note: “Don Quixote” is a 17th century novel by Miguel Cervantes. Its hero is a deluded landowner who believes he is a knight errant.)
I bravely fight any enemy who crosses my path!
Such impudence! I will slice that armor in twain!
What is this?!
Ouch.
Such impudence.
Where did Peter Pan go?
He keeps running off somewhere with Tink.
Peter Pan watches over us to make sure we’re safe.
That's right! What if enemies were to attack suddenly?
Distant people, hear my voice!
Those nearby, also turn your eyes to me!
It's a knight.
Who are you, mister?
Mister?
I am the best knight in the world!
I am Don Quixote!
Don Quixote?
Quixote-san?
Princess. I have come to rescue you.
What are you doing?!
Villains who kidnapped the princess, I will punish you and send you to the next world!
Wait, Quixote-san.
I’m not a princess, and these boys aren't villains.
She's my sister.
What?
I apologize.
I must still be weary from last night’s battle.
Battle? With who?
Did you battle the windmills?
There's nobody here.
Just now I finished a battle with the pirates and Captain Hook.
With Captain Hook?!
Indeed.
I don't believe it. There's no way Captain Hook would lose to this old guy.
Yeah.
Quixote-san, how exactly did you fight him?
That is an excellent question.
Never, in my thirty years as a knight, have I experienced a battle more fierce than this one.
My long affray with the pirates turned quickly into a one-to-one against Captain Hook.
The moon rose and sank, and the match did not end.
And when the sun rose...
Too bright!
Take this!
I've lost...
Did Captain Hook die?
Even though he is evil, I may have dealt with him too harshly.
Is that the truth?
He says he defeated Captain Hook.
I don't believe it.
This is the proof.
What is this? There's something inside.
The Captain's hair!
Wow.
Peter Pan will be very surprised when he sees this.
I've been listening all along.
You were here, Peter Pan?
If you talk that loudly, we can hear you from far away.
Oh, here is a master.
l am…
The famous Quixote-san, right?
Yes, Quixote.
You know him, Peter Pan?
Yeah, I just recently heard a rumor about him.
That is very flattering...
Quixote-san's stomach growled.
I have not eaten since yesterday.
I can no longer go on.
My life has been one continuous battle.
One more person would have made exactly a thousand.
One thousand people?!
That many people?
Indeed.
And you’ve never lost?
Unfortunately, I did lose one time.
Who did you lose to?
That person’s name was…
That person’s name was?
That person's name was... mother.
It was your mother?!
Why did you fight with your mother?
Well, I forgot her birthday present, and she whacked me on my bottom.
His stories sound full of lies.
Real stories always do sound like they're full of lies.
But he said he defeated Hook…
I believe Quixote-san’s stories. I want to become stronger.
In that case, why don't you fight with him as his apprentice?
lt’d make you less of a coward!
I am not a coward!
My boys.
Do you know why I have never lost a battle?
Because you're strong?
No.
Because I am a coward.
Although I am sometimes referred to as an "all-time hero",
in fact,
l am also a coward.
Now that I think about it…
The late Captain Hook was kind of a coward too.
He always freaked out when he heard the clock sound from the crocodile’s stomach.
It’s outrageous!
He's spreading rumors that he defeated me!
I hope he's prepared to die!
It seems to be a knight called Quixote.
What an unbelievable guy.
In any case, he's just a braggart who can’t do anything but talk.
Ignore him...
Ignore?!
Aye aye, sir!
I hate braggarts and cowards!
Y-Yes.
Go bring that braggart to me immediately!
What will you do to him?
I’ll rip his tongue out with my own hand, so he won't be able to brag like that ever again!
I am the best knight in the world, John Quixote!
That was good, John. Keep it up.
Why is this good?
Those flaming bright eyes. Those eyes are precisely what a knight heeds.
Mister, how are my eyes?
Michael, you should worry about becoming taller before you worry about your eyes.
Why?
Small people cannot hold a lance.
I can hold it!
Quixote-san, teach me next!
There is nothing I can teach you.
Yeah, because Curley is strong.
You lack the qualities to be a knight.
What?! I do have the qualities!
Knighthood is not merely about strength.
I am sorry, but among you only one can become a knight.
Only John.
Congratulations, brother.
I’m flattered to hear that from Quixote-san...
What…
I can't believe that cowardly John is best suited.
I think it's strange.
It is strange.
The next one will be big, so make sure you catch it!
Okay.
Huh?
Geez, Peter Pan, you always lie!
Look how small it is!
Work can’t be done without playing!
Peter Pan!
Tink.
Trouble, trouble!
What happened, Tink?
If we don't make that man leave soon... the pirates will come attack us!
Did Hook find out already?
Find out what?
Well…
Defeating Hook was a complete lie!
Oh my!
I thought he was suspicious!
That hair was fake as well?!
So, where's Quixote-san?
He was showing John how to ride his horse.
John? Where?
John!John!
John!
Where are you?
Where is he?
The Captain should’ve just left that braggart alone...
Someone like that can't possibly be strong.
Are you feeling sorry for him?
Hey, look!
That's the trail from his wooden horse!
Yes, yes, like that. You are doing well, John.
But isn't this wooden horse slower than walking?
I do not ride a horse for speed.
Then why do you ride it?
Because I am a knight.
Good, John.
That way of falling is a knight’s way of falling.
They have a set way of falling?
John, you were born to become a knight.
Ha ha, no way...
Will you become my retainer and defend chivalry?
Retainer?
That is right.
Riding the air from windmill to windmill, chasing the clouds.
And battling enemies.
And falling in love.
Love?
Lily...
Yes, yes!
From your face, I can see that you have fallen in love before.
Well, I wouldn't say “love”…
For a knight, it is worthwhile to risk your life for love.
Now, John-kun. I think you have mastered all that it takes to be a knight.
Thank you very… Wah!
Qu-Quixote san…
Oh, who are you?
Are you the one who said he defeated Captain Hook?
Indeed.
They've come here to avenge their captain...
Now, where’s your proof?
Quixote-san is as strong as Peter Pan.
All of you have eyes that lack the dignity of a knight!
What?!
John, observe a knight’s way of fighting.
Yes!
Get real! Lying bastard!
What's the problem, you braggart?
Is that thing you're wearing too heavy for you?
Quixote-san…
First you fall into a nearby lake to measure the enemy's strength.
The enemy's strength?
Ouch, my hands…
What's wrong with him?
If you hit my left cheek, I still have my right, and if you hit my right, I still have my left.
I see. So the loser wins.
Take this.
Quixote-san!
Quixote-san, you can do it!
John!
Mister!
John!
l am…
A braggart!
The best knight in the world...
A good for nothing!
Don Qui...
Quixote-san, isn't it time to fight seriously?
He said "seriously"!
What's funny?!
This guy is just a bluffer!
Quixote-san defeated Captain Hook!
The Captain is quite alive.
Huh? No way!
Then do you want to go see him?
Tie this stupid braggart up!
Ah, wait!
What are you going to do with Quixote-san?!
Let me go!
Captain Hook will decide on that.
He probably won’t let him live.
C-C-Captain Hook...
Captain Hook?
Are you the one spreading nonsensical rumors about defeating me?
Are you prepared?
Of course. I am the best knight in the world, Don Quixote...
Shut up! Die!
What's that?
John, now.
Wait!
Hey, catch him!
John-kun, escaping is victory.
Wait!
That's right, we'll escape and wait for the time to strike.
Just a little further.
John, do your best. The time to strike will come.
I'll make sure I'll never hear your voice again!
We've almost escaped, Quixote-san.
Die!
Take this!
Damn it!
Die!
Help me!
That's right, kid.
Quixote-san...
Quixote-san... when will it be time to strike?
You’re going to become food for the monster in the lake.
No!
Captain Hook!
It’s here!
H-H-Help me!
Hurry up! Someone!
Captain!
No! Let me go!
Yay, we did it!
Quixote-san!
Wh-Why is he helping Captain Hook?
I am the best knight in the world!
Quixote-san! Someone help him!
Captain, are you okay?
Shut up! We'll come back later.
Yes!
Why? Why are they leaving?
What should I do?
Peter Pan!
Why doesn't anybody come?
Peter Pan, did you hear a scream just now?
Peter Pan!
It's from over there.
Peter Pan!
No, it's okay, I don't need help!
Are you sure?
Peter Pan, you should help anyway!
Quixote-san has no weapon!
Okay, I'll save the knight.
No need to save me!
Sorry for assisting!
Look at my eyes.
I thought he was weak, but I was totally wrong!
The light in Quixote-san’s eyes is completely different from the pirates around here!
Right, Quixote-san?
Johh!
Brother!
Thank goodness you’re okay!
This guy made us worry.
We looked for you everywhere.
Where'd he go?
Huh? He was here a second ago.
Everyone is trying to make fun of me!
Just watch. I’ll tear him apart!
Men, hurry and power up this ship!
Yes!
Peter Pan, children, just you wait...
Captain Hook is alive?
And when Captain Hook was about to get eaten by the crocodile,
Quixote-san saved him.
He saved Captain Hook?
I don't believe it.
Quixote-san really is the best knight in the world!
You say that because he praised you for being a coward.
John isn’t a coward.
He stood up against the pirates, and he jumped in the lake to save Quixote-san, right?
I wasn’t trying to…
Even if you weren't trying to do it, you couldn't have done it without courage.
Quixote-san is the one who taught me that.
There's nobody as brave as him!
Quixote-san!
Now that I think about it, he wasn't such a bad guy.
Yes. I wonder what Quixote-san is doing now.
I have been a knight for thirty years, and just recently I saved Peter Pan from a crocodile.
And I lost my right hand.
Here is some of the crocodile's hair.
What's wrong, Peter Pan?
What?! Wendy suddenly turned into a demon!
How did this happen?
Next on Peter Pan no Bouken:
Wendy Became a Demon.
Watch it!
