Freezing/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Complete Monster: Satellizer's half-brother Louis definitely seals the deal spoiler when he forces his Pandora into his fetishes solely because she reminded him of Satellizer, so he decides to play out his sick fantasies.
    • Worse, the reason Satellizer hates being touched? Yeah, that's his fault.
    • Louis is evil on a minor scale compared to |Mark Spencer, the head of the Chevalier and overseer of the E-Pandora project who sees all members as mere pawns that can be sacrificed at any cost and will crush and torture anyone who goes against him. He refuses to stop the experiments and plans to put all the blame on Dr. Oohara. As with Louis, he gets a backstory excuse for why he condones this, involving his adoption of Charles.
  • Faux Affably Evil: Louis
  • Game Breaker: The Aoi siblings, both of them. Normally a Pandora is supposed to be only capable of holding up to six Stigmata at a time – Kazuha had twenty. Kazuya's body is explicitly stated to be over 30% Stigmata tissue, such that he doesn't even need to partner with a Pandora to use Freezing. However, Kazuya only displays Freezing without a partner when he's sufficiently enraged, and Kazuha... well, if you paid close attention to the backstories, you know what happened to her.
  • Informed Wrongness: Dr. Scarlett O'Hara gets chewed out and slapped by her superior, Dr. Aoi, for trying to advance their understanding of how the stigmata works, and how to grant Pandora abilities to those not innately born with the talent for accepting the stigmata. The only reason Dr. Aoi gives is that doing so would be 'tampering in the realm of God' and that they should be satisfied with what they've been given. Of course, it does go horribly wrong later on, but only because the higher-ups are desperate for results, and push Dr. O'Hara and her test subjects much faster than she wanted to go.
    • And as an added bonus, he has a project of his own that is essentially the same- Valkyrie

Thirty-Sue Pileup: The story has very blatant examples here.

    • Chiffon: Sides with the villains. Defeats the two female leads in battle because she's "just that strong" and is given powers out of nowhere to solve an entire arc when Nova show up and transformers back one E-Pandora who is turned into one.
    • Louis is basically a Lemon Stu and makes two female character his personal sex toys at one point or another. He and Holly are Relationship Sues for each other. Plus the way they got Easily Forgiven for the shit they pulled.
    • Satellizer is basically a cliche Shoujo Sympathetic Sue and she doesn't have much that defines her as a character other than her abuse and her relationship with Kazuya. Even after 150 chapters. She also is overshadowed by other Mary Sues at this point. Though she did get Deus Ex Machina healing powers to save Kazuya at least.
    • The biggest Mary Sues are the Legendary Pandora. As they have powers other characters don't & are related too over three existing characters. Much like their sisters they solve the problems of an entire arc in less then a few pages. One even has an ability to heal people in mass that can save them from death.
    • Gingo is a pretty big Gary Stu as well. The Chevalier pretty much allows him to do what he wants. He created both Legendary Pandora and the Valkyries. Is always in the right and anybody who opposes or disagrees with him are eventually shown to be wrong or evil. Characters such as Mark Spencer and Scarlet O-hara are introduced to so how great of a person he is compared to them.
    • The Busters as well. They Worf Effect the main cast and are nothing more then evil counterparts and foil too the Legendary Pandora.
    • Ouka is well on her way to being one. She already has a power set superior to both female leads. Other then being Kazuya's cousin , has an arranged marriage to him being a Valkyrie and generally acting like a Spoiled Brat she has very little to define her character.
  • Karma Houdini: Most fans feel that Louis fits the bill here, as Satellizer forgives him for years of physical and emotional abuse, and saves his life on top of that. He is also given a very shallow Heel Realization that convinces all but a small group of people of how he is actually a good person.
  • Les Yay: The OVAs.
    • In the manhwa, there's Roxanne Elipton, who literally just gropes Satellizer in the middle of a conversation. Doubles as a Crowning Moment of Funny due to everyone's reaction, since she doesn't stop until Chiffon pulls her off.
  • Nightmare Fuel: Louis el Bridget shows the audience just why Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil in Volumes 7-8 of the manga... Shiver.
  • The Scrappy: Louis is universally reviled by the fanbase because of his misogyny and inhuman treatment of both Satellizer and Holly, and his despicable Karma Houdini status.
    • Kazuya is seen as a terrible protagonist by much of the readers. As he becomes an abuse apologist for the sake of a character preferred by the author. Nor has he received any character development at all even in 150 plus chapters.
  • Shocking Swerve: Louis' survival at the end of his arc. As is the back story for Mark Spencer in Chapter 75.
  • Stupid Good: Violet thinks that Louis and Satellizer can get along happily.
  • The Woobie: Satellizer. Kazuya is pretty much the only person who treats her like human being rather than a wild animal, and because of that, he sees the adorable, softy side to her.
    • The E-Pandoras
    • Ticy in the First Chronicle.
      • Iron Woobie: Satellizer and Cathy, but the entire E-Pandora team deserves special mention. One signed on to the project to avoid starving to death and one was sold by her parents. The rest of them are implied to have even worse pasts.
