Probably just absorbing a lot of the blow, possibly because Neo and Torchwick hadn't made it into the Bullhead yet.

Not sure if they are illusions or actual structures. They appear to act like glass but that could just be part of the illusion. Maybe.

The idea of the end of the umbrella featuring some kind of mechanism is interesting. That being the source of the blue shield could work, if a dust capsule that allowed such a thing was in the end (there seems to be some kind of barrel at the end of it) which could be activated, possibly by an electrical primer and fired off as a shield. Who knows, it may even have some use as a firearm.

Or maybe this is all just rampant speculation to be invalidated in V3. Who knows.
