There's nothing outright calling him a zombie yet, though he does fit the look with that decaying mouth and whatever the hell is wrong with his chest. Until then, as far as I am concerned, he's a bloody living thing. And even if he was a corpse, I don't think that protects him from sub-zero instantaneous freezing. Did you see how he broke out of it? Kubo treated this like he was encased in a sheet of ice; his ENTIRE BODY should have been frozen down to the cellular level, blood, hair, all that stuff frozen, the liquid in his lungs by this point should be frozen, screw breathing, screw thought process, he should have been deader than dead.
