The ability to freeze and later revive some simple organisms -- including human embryos -- has existed for some time (one motivation of cryonics is that some animals have an innate ability to survive a similar naturally induced state), but there are many technical problems with applying this to a fully grown human[[note]] Namely, not all of your organs "freeze" at the same temperature, some react well to freezing while others react poorly, and unfreezing someone is an iffy proposition at best, usually resulting in significant organ damage[[/note]]. And the law does not allow people to be cryonically suspended until they are pronounced clinically dead (or if they aren't legally alive yet, like the aforementioned embryos), which could cause problems if brain damage occurs due to anoxia. For the sake of television, we just assume that whoever does the thawing has the technology to [[HarmlessFreezing overcome this]]. Sometimes this problem is HandWaved by claiming that what's actually going on is some sort of localized time stop (TimeStandsStill, except inside out), although all other aspects of the trope remain the same.

* In ''Manga/OnePiece'', Nico Robin and Monkey D. Luffy were shockfrozen solid by Marine Admiral Aokiji. Unlike other cases of this trope, though, their conditions were treated seriously, and there was panic about how they were defrosted. A more comical application occurred back on Drum Island when Karoo jumped into an ice-cold river to look for Zoro. When the crew comes back, Vivi is understandably upset to see her duck frozen solid and half-submerged in the river.
