''[['''Freezing]]''''' is a [[Mangamanga]] from the team of Dal[[Dall-young ImLim]] (author) and KIM [[Kwang-hyun HyunKim]] (artist). It is published by Comic Valkyrie in Japan and by Haksan Pub in Booking magazine in South Korea.
 
Beings from a different dimension, called Novas, have started a war with mankind. To counter this threat, mankind has manufactured tissue called "Stigmata" and fuses it into the bodies of young women to create [[Amazon Brigade|female warriors called "Pandoras,"]] who can wield special weaponry and armor. [[Battle Couple|Taking younger boys called "limiters" as partners,]] these warriors fight in two-person teams, which can be expanded into small squadrons. "Pandoras" are also the only power on earth that have the power to resist the Novas' freezing effect.

* [[Above the Influence]]: In one chapter, Satellizer goes on a [[Drinking Contest]] with Elizabeth. After Kazuya takes her back to her room, she drunkenly tells him to strip some of her clothing off, which he does with great difficulty. In the morning after she sobers up, she wonders if Kazuya took advantage of her, but then concludes that he didn't since she still had most of her clothing on, as well as her makeup.
* [[A-Cup Angst]]: Atia in episode 8 is visibly shocked when she sees Satellizer and Rana's busts.
Line 96 ⟶ 80:
* [[Cowardly Lion]]: Cassie Lockheart has a [[The Ace|top ranked simulation record]], but a fight with [[Ax Crazy|Satellizer]] [[Blood Knight|el]] [[Determinator|Bridget]] left her questioning whether she's fit for combat.
* [[Crapsack World]]: {{spoiler|Only infecting humans with the tissue of [[Eldritch Abomination|Eldritch Abominations]] }} gives mankind any hope of fighting the Nova, and the organization that's funding these front line soldiers trains them through free-for-all gladiatorial tournaments. The student 'rankings' determined through these tournaments are mostly immutable and enforced through rampant vigilantism on part of the students--in the name of keeping [[Irony|unit cohesion]]. In a world that's already effectively reached the [[Godzilla Threshold]], the people setting up things make the world a perfect place for many gratuitous [[Let's You and Him Fight]] moments amongst its best and last line of defense. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot. And the people in charge of the Pandoras ''still'' care more about politics than about the monsters hellbent on wiping out humanity.
* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: The few battles we see against Nova are [https://web.archive.org/web/20110311185007/http://www.mangatoshokan.com/read/Freezing/Ala-Atra-Scans/27/13 brutal affairs with crippling injuries and deaths] being a given. It gives some justification for the [[Lawful Stupid|absolute insistence on discipline]]: everyone works together or [[Everybody's Dead, Dave|everyone dies]]. But beating Satellizer into submission is still [[Idiot Ball|a stupid, stupid decision.]]
** The mock battles which pitted three of the best of the traditionally trained Genetics Pandoras against the E-Pandoras, who were regular human beings with low aptitude for traditional Pandora training. The E-Pandoras never stood a chance.
** Rana, during her introduction fight in episode 5, effortlessly defeats 3 sophomore girls.
Line 126 ⟶ 110:
* [[Expository Hairstyle Change]]: {{spoiler|After Chiffon dies her appointed successor Ticy cuts and styles her hair to resemble Chiffon's; she also goes from a very unconfident girl to an ice queen who curb-stomps "Mad Dog" Arnett, declares that she'll enforce a ''stricter'' sempai/kouhai code, and warns Satelizer she won't go easy on her like Chiffon used to.}}
* [[Eyes Always Shut]]: [http://www.mangatoshokan.com/read/Freezing/Ala-Atra-Scans/1/13 Student President Chiffon].
** Now with {{spoiler|[[Slasher Smile]]:}}[https://web.archive.org/web/20120430102048/http://mangafox.me/manga/freezing/v12/c078/16.html Enjoy.]
* {{spoiler|[[Face Death with Dignity]]: The E-Pandoras stage a coup in order to escape the facilities, even if they'll most likely get killed in the process, rather than staying and be subjected to some questionable experiments that have an insanely high mortality rate.}}
{{quote|{{spoiler|'''Amelia''':'' And if we can't avoid death, at least how we die will be our decision}}.}}
Line 189 ⟶ 173:
* [[Joshikousei]]: Pretty much all the Pandoras are this.
* [[Just Think of the Potential]]: {{spoiler|Scarlette O'Hara tells this to Amelia regarding Type-Maria clones.}}
* [[Kick the Son of a Bitch]]: [[Smug Snake|Miyabi]] tried to take Kazuya as a limiter by force and [https://web.archive.org/web/20110208080558/http://www.mangatoshokan.com/read/Freezing/Ala-Atra-Scans/4/9 oh holy shit did Satellizer make sure that will never happen again.]
* [[Large Ham]]: Second year's second best student, Ganessa Roland, starts ''monologuing'' about how amazing she is. Shortly before Satellizer beats her silly.
* [[Last-Episode New Character]]: Eugene and Abel, limiters of Chiffon and Ticy, that is pretty much their only appearance in the anime.
Line 263 ⟶ 247:
* [[Scarlet Fever]]: Dr. [[Shout-Out|Scarlette]] [[Gone with the Wind|O'Hara]].
* [[School of Hard Knocks]]: Interestingly, the student council president or teachers only seem to step in when Satellizer has beaten down her opponent to within an inch of their lives. But they [[Double Standard|don't do anything while she's getting beat down...]]
* [[Sempai Kouhai-Kohai]]: '''[[Serious Business]]'''. It's both built into the typical Pandora/Limiter relationship, and it's the entire reasoning behind the outrageous, criminal abuse the third years pile upon the heroine.
* [[Ship Tease]]: The Pandora/Limiter pairs are pretty much automatically assumed to be dating, to the point that when they're away from school, they're usually put in the same room. There's also an offhand mention that a very high percentage end up married.
* [[Shower Scene]]: Satellizer has had two so far. (Well, one of them was just a bath.)
