Soft Glass: Difference between revisions

* Aversion in ''[[Naruto]]'': Kabuto does the preventive glass-breaking thing using shuriken when escaping Kakashi through a hospital window.

* So does Spike in the ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]'' movie in a subway.

* ''[[Futaba-Kun Change!|Futaba Kun Change]]'': Futaba goes through glass windows several times, including once nearly-naked, without so much as a scratch. The Justicemaker, on the other hand, can get plenty of shards in his huge head along with comical spurts of blood.

* ''[[Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex]]'' has a few scenes where the Major either busts through or is tossed out a window without acquiring any serious injuries, but this is justified since she's a full-body cyborg. The trope is also averted when the Major has to track down "Angel Feathers", a terrorist who's infamous for bombing glass skyscrapers and causing heavy casualties from the glass shrapnel.

* Averted nice and hard in ''[[Honey and Clover]]'': {{spoiler|a pane of glass breaks over Hagu's head and results in a [[Game-Breaking Injury]] that leads to her being [[Put on a Bus]] at the end of the last book.}}

* Somewhat averted in the ''[[Fruits Basket]]'' manga, in that when Kyo punches a school window in anger, it does break, but he also is visibly injured by it.

 

== Comics -- Books ==

* In an episode of ''[[My Family]]'', Ben and Susan house sit an extremely hi-tech apartment, where they do not know how to operate anything or open the windows. A fire starts and they break the glass (which looks pretty damn thick) by throwing a DVD player at it.

* A version of this happened on the ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]'' episode ''Puma Man'', where the title character effortlessly punches his way through a roof. Mike comments "Thank goodness they made their house out of peanut brittle!"

* Averted in the ''[[Pushing Daisies]]'' episode "Pigeon": Bradan Caden is killed by glass shards upon crashing into a building.

* ''[[Scrubs]]''
