Role in the series[]
Captain Quixote's Shield first appeared in the episode "Captain Quixote". While Jake and his crew were enjoying riding their wave runners, they come across El Blanco, who slips beneath them only to get caught within Captain Quixote's net, who brings them aboard his ship, believing he had finally capture El Blanco. After realizing his mistake, he soon frees the young pirates and introduces himself and explains his quest. Jake and his crew offer their help to Captain Quixote, who was happy to have the extra hands. While sailing, the pirates later encounter El Blanco swimming through some rock beds in the middle of the sea. Jake suggests they find another way through, but Captain Quixote loses himself in the hunt to capture the giant squid and risks his own safety, as well as Jake and his crew's in the chase. Jake informs Quixote that his actions were a little too hasty, and Quixote apologizes to his young friends. Later, Quixote, accompanied by Jake and his forces, come across El Blanco attacking the Jolly Roger as Captain Hook and his crew try to take the golden shield for themselves. Seeing Hook and his men in danger, Jake springs into action, and using Izzy's pixie dust, he manages to distract El Blanco and allow Captain Quixote to reclaim his shield as El Blanco's limbs become entangled. With his shield back in his possession, Captain Quixote soon releases El Blanco back into the sea, scolding the beast to never bother him again. As Captain Quixote hangs his shield back on his ship, he felt empty that his quest was over. Much to the surprise of himself and Jake and his crew, he was not the only one sad, as El Blanco returned whimpering. Izzy comments both Captain Quixote and El Blanco enjoyed the chase. Unknown to Captain Quixote, Captain Hook sneaks aboard Quixote's ship in a last attempt to steal the shield, but stumbles on the painting on the floor, causing Hook and the shield to fall overboard, only to captured by El Blanco once more as Captain Hook and Mr. Smee flee back to the Jolly Roger. El Blanco joyously waves the shield, prompting Captain Quixote to chase him, and Quixote taunts the squid that he will follow him to ends of the Never Sea once more to reclaim his shield. Captain Quixote thanks Jake and his crew for their help before leaving to peruse El Blanco once more.
