As the world becomes increasingly digitized, it’s no surprise that businesses are looking for ways to keep their customers’ data safe. One such business is Glass, which is a company that provides a secure way for businesses to store and access customer data. Glass was founded in 2013 by two entrepreneurs, Jason Calacanis and David Wehner. The company has since been acquired by Microsoft in March of this year. What is Glass? Glass is a secure way for businesses to store and access customer data. It uses technology to create an encrypted connection between the business and its customers, so that any data stored on Glass can only be accessed by those who have been authenticated and authorized by the business. This allows businesses to keep their customer data safe and secure, without having to worry about losing or mishandling it. How does Glass work? The process of storing customer data on Glass begins with creating an account with the company. After creating an account, customers can use it to access their information, including contact information, financial records, and other important information. They can also share this information with friends and family members easily using the app or website they are using. Once customers have stored their data on Glass, they can use it to protect themselves from cyber-attacks or other threats. They can also use it to stay up-to-date on changes in their industry or around the world. In addition, companies can use Glass as a way to collect feedback from their customers about how they’re using their products or services. This feedback can then be used to improve the products or services of these companies in the future!
APPEARANCE
Glass is a young lady with long black hair, styled like a traditional Japanese princess (Ji Hise ?). A jet black kimono is worn by Glass with silver embroidery, much like funeral robes. Due to her Spirit Person racial characteristics, her skin is pale and translucent.
During her third visit, Naofumi noticed that she was wearing European-style clothing. This, according to L’Arc as well as Naofumi didn’t suit her.
Personality
Glass is serious, serious, and stern. Glass is a strong loyalist when it comes her world and Kizuna. She also takes pride being a Vassal Wielder/Hero and has high expectations for other heroes, friends and foes from her world.
She was loyal to her world and would even sacrifice her life to save it.
She takes her mission seriously and doesn’t like to be criticized by her friends. Later on in the series, her serious expression changes to become more friendly and joyous when she’s around Kizuna. Naofumi thought it strange that someone with a calm, cool expression would have such an expression.
Background
Glass is a descendant of a race called Spirit People. In the ceremony to determine who would be the Vassal Fan holder, the disciple of the famed martial art school was present. The selected person must fight the Demon Dragon Emperor who has ravaged her country’s people.
Glass was initially denied entry to the ceremony due to her birth. However, after all the other disciples were turned down by weapons, she was selected. Glass was chosen over them by the disciples, and they reacted bitterly and asked her to not return. Glass was likely to die during the task, so the disciples hoped they would be the next ones to use the vassal weapon. They fought each other.
Kizuna was summoned to her world as one of the legend heroes in her country. She also aided Glass during her adventure. They fought the Demon Dragon Emperor together. They became close friends later and Glass moved to the country that summoned Kizuna.
After many events, Kizuna became trapped in an unavoidable labyrinth. Glass’ world was at risk of destruction due to the inability of one of the cardinal heroes and the ignorance of other cardinal heroes.
She didn’t know how to save her world so she researched L’Arc’s ancient text. It depicts waves as a phenomenon of merging of multiple worlds. L’Arc’s text also states that the vassal weapons wielders must kill cardinal heroes of the world on the other side. This will ensure their destruction and extend the existence of this world. Glass and her companions set out to find Naofumi’s summoned planet to kill its legendary heroes.

The Rising of the Shield Hero – The Other World’s Heroes Explained
The Cardinal Heroes were summoned to a specific purpose. What do Shield Hero’s otherworldly fighters with this world want?
The Rising of the Shield Hero has been called one of the most interesting isekai anime. It might be tempted to fall prey to the standard trappings of an isekai every so often, but the idea of a story where the summoned hero are not treated with reverence or respect, but instead with disdainful and disgust is an intriguing one.
This is not the only way shield Hero gets away from the standard isekai. Naofumi and other Cardinal Heroes weren’t summoned to this planet for a specific purpose. Other heroes are also present — but they aren’t out to save the world; rather, they are there for their own good.
Glass’ World Explained
Glass, L’arc Berg and Therese Alexanderite hail from a different world. Although they are heroes in their own country, they are also antagonists to Shield Hero’s unnamed world and are determined to prevent Naofumi from achieving his goal. This may seem an awful thing to do in a world that is already at the edge of destruction, but these otherworldly beings have a good reason to stop Naofumi.
Glass’ world was created by several battles with the Waves of Calamity. This is the same phenomenon that threatens Naofumi’s world. The Light Novel series shows that when two worlds try to fuse, the Waves summon monsters until the calamity is over. The worlds that are weaker than the other are destroyed and left a barren desert, unable to support life.
It turns out that Naofumi and Glass are trying to merge, with the latter quickly becoming weaker. Although it is possible to repel both the Waves and save both worlds from destruction, it is unlikely. Glass and the other members consider this a waste of time. They believe that their only choice is to stop Naofumi fighting the waves, so his world can be weakened and their world can survive fusion.
How the Vassal Heroes Do Business
The Vassal Heroes, as they are known in their homeworld, come from a different world than ours. They work in a different way to the Cardinal Heroes. The Vassal Heroes are a unique group that uses new techniques and new weapons, as well as races not normally seen. They have very little in common with Cardinal Heroes who are only chosen for their weapons.
Glass appears to be a normal, powerful woman but she is actually part of a group of spirit people. Spirit Power is what she uses to increase her attacks and stats. Her Attack and Defense will rise with more Spirit Power. She can use the Vassal or the Fan’s pair of hand fans to make powerful attacks when she has enough. However, this comes with a drawback: she can use Spirit Power to lower her stats in return for powerful attacks.
Similar to Therese Alexanderite, Therese is part of the “Jewels” race. A jewel is a person who was born with a gem embedded in their bodies (Therese has it on her forehead). Jewels have the ability to harness power from different gemstones and cast powerful spells. A Jewel’s ability to cast magic depends on the type of gemstone they have.
Reluctant Antagonists
The Vassal Heroes, despite being presented as antagonists after their goals are stated, aren’t out to destroy Naofumi’s world just for the sake. They wouldn’t attack another world if they had the option. They have been forced to choose between Naofumi or their world because of circumstances beyond their control. They feel terrible about attacking a world trying to survive. But their world is doing the exact same thing. If they can help their world buy another day of survival they will.
Shield Hero’s second season will air in October 2021. It’s expected to bring more conflict between the Cardinal Heroes, Naofumi and Vassal Heroes as they fight for their worlds.
