YMMV / Summer and Winter

---

Warning: Spoilers from Fire and Ice are unmarked.

---

• Alternative Character Interpretation: How many of Pitch’s kinder actions were fake and how many were genuine because of Kozmotis?
• Angst? What Angst?: Averted. Characters react appropriately to the trauma and grief they experience, ex: Ace suffers PTSD from his death and torture at Pitch's hands, Sabo feels guilty about not saving Ace, etc.
• Catharsis Factor: Ace burning Akainu to a crisp, killing his killer.
• Fridge Brilliance: Pitch Black gets stronger when someone fears him. Despite sharing dark powers with him, Blackbeard never stood a chance.
• Harsher in Hindsight: Jack promises to never leave Ace's side. Jack is separated from Ace, leading to the Marineford debacle, and again when Ace is captured by Pitch.
• Nausea Fuel: The descriptions of the Black Sand moving under Ace's skin.
• Shocking Moments:
  • When both the Man in the Moon and Mother Nature resurrect Ace, turning him into the Spirit of Summer.
  • The moment when Ace is captured by Pitch.
  • Law's escape from Pitch's shadows, something that was thought to be impossible for a human.
