Caveman encased in ice skin#

Definitely subverted, however, in the Galuna Island arc, where Leon's attempt to revive Deliora completely fails when Deliora shatters because he was frozen in Ul's Iced Shell for too long.

Used to some extent, though Leon and Gray don't usually freeze people directly (opting to make ice weapons/containers instead).

Caveman encased in ice skin#

Grimmjow: 'Did you really think merely freezing the top layer of my skin would be enough to kill me!?' There are ways of minimizing ice damage to frozen organic tissue (usually by making sure the water in most cells includes special chemicals that prevent the water from expanding so much when it freezes), though whether it will be of any help to future scientists that try to revive the person is a matter of debate (one of the primary problems with this method is that all known suitable chemicals are extremely toxic). When it thaws out, they die and the body's soft tissue turns into mush. Unless you take special precautions when you freeze organic tissue (which can be assumed to be the case when making human popsicles, especially if Applied Phlebotinum is involved), the water in each cell will freeze and expand - bursting the cells and dealing them mortal wounds (frostbite). If the character's body itself is frozen, the situation is even more unrealistic. which must mean that you can freeze and thaw people out with no problem. After all, microwaving frozen food works! And there's all this buzz about 'cryogenics,' note Suspended animation via extremely low temperatures is actually called 'cryonics' 'cryogenics' is the study of the creation of extremely low temperatures and their effects on materials. Sure, they might shiver a bit, but they have absolutely no problems with hypothermia, frostbite, shock, or, with the covered in ice version, suffocation. Then shortly after, they thaw out, and they are mostly unharmed. This can be in the form of encasing the character in a giant ice cube or simply freezing the person.

A character is frozen solid by superpowers or some sort of futuristic weapon.
