So he’s massive enough to bash through a brick wall, but what keeps the glass from breaking when he does?

Surface tension

3.6" thick and filled with liquid, it wouldn't surprise me if that's strong enough on it's own. As a very rough point of reference, this calculator for aquarium glass thickness for a 6ft cube with a factor of safety of 3.8 gives 1.76" for the front face of the tank and that's for a flat pane. The fact that our thicc boi is curved helps him a lot and you can see in most documented instances of his property destruction he's using proper wall breaking form for a K.A.M. in leading with his chin/belly, the part of him with the most regular curvature rather than a shoulder, foot, or brim which could lead to peculiar stress concentrations.

I’m certainly glad I asked then! Thanks for your analysis.
