Actually, once in the manga and 2 times in the Databook. The explanation of how it works still suggests that any attack is rendered ineffective, so that stands. That's a total of 3 times in canon.If only those 5 images you posted even began to say the same thing. In reality, only two of those images hype it to be impervious to every single attack while one describes how it works, and the rest show that it has no physical form. Hyped ONCE in the Manga, and ONCE in the Databook.
If you believe Yata Mirror can block things like the Juubi's Bijuu Dama, and Kaguya's World Busting Gudo Dama because the Manga stated it was invincible once, and the DB also stated it, then you need to start using logic. Is Yata Mirror a strong shield? Obviously. But it's lack of feats, it being hyped to be invincible, and it being a spirit weapon isn't justification for you people to be running around here claiming it to be invincible.
At this point it's just "lol Spirit weapon" thus hyperbole can apply to it whereas it's disregarded for every other item/jutsu/ability. One of the biggest cop outs I've ever seen related to Naruto.
I mean what's next? Are people gonna run around here claiming Totsuka can cut down any enemy? Because DB AND Manga have hyped it to be capable of doing so. Zetsu called him "invincible" because he has a sword that can supposedly cut down anything and a shield that can turn back any attack.
If I tried to argue that Itachi solos Madara because Totsuka cuts through PS and kills him what would you say? :lol I know for a fact that you won't agree.
Take a logical approach when saying what Yata can and cannot deflect. Please. :lol
As I said, it shouldn't be taken too literally, but with reason. You can't 100% disregard Kishi's multiple statements that it's invincible, and say it means absolutely nothing. The difference between Yata Mirror and every other hype comparison people are using to discredit it, is that it was stated numerous times by both the manga and databook. Unlike the others, Kishi reiterated it, and then reiterated it again. Even Orochimaru has been searching for it his entire life. Clearly the hype given to these weapons are meant to hold much more weight then the hyperbole statements given to Temari, Kabutowari, etc.Didn't disregard all of it's hype, and I agree that no one should disregard everything stated in the Manga and DB, only anything and everything relating to it being completely invincible and capable of turning back any attack no matter the limits. Given that Suigetsu and B himself can survive direct hits from BD, Yata being able to take one isn't as outlandish a claim as what Apex was saying above with this "tanks all attacks including Juubi level+ attacks" and reflects them because "lol author "said" so" nonsense.
But all that flavor text you are using as argumentation doesn't fly here.
So yeah, you make good points here. Points I can actually agree with. But I have a question. You say that Yata Mirror is meant to be held on a pedestal above the realm of Shinobi, so are you implying that Yata Mirror should be stronger than any defense any Shinobi can conjure up? Any shinobi outside the God tier that is.
No, the explanation of how it works says that it changes it's properties to render attacks ineffective. Never says that it can do that to every single attack.Actually, once in the manga and 2 times in the Databook. The explanation of how it works still suggests that any attack is rendered ineffective, so that stands. That's a total of 3 times in canon.
@bold, but Kishi's word, on multiple occasions, is. Lack of feats really doesn't mean anything on any place other then NB. People excessively care for 'feats', but the author's word holds just as much, if not more weight. Sure, if it was stated once I'd say hyperbole too. But the repetitiveness of it contradicts the claim of it being an exaggeration, so I'll go with the author's word since he's obviously attempted to make these weapons unearthly when he chose to make them ethereal and claiming its defence is not limited to astral attacks (thus it really would be invincible).
That's because everything else only has this statement once or twice, but then none of those abilities or items actually give a reason as to why it can shit on any defence/tank any attack. Yata is outright stated to change all of its properties to render any attack ineffective. Saying something like Kabutowari or Chidori are invincible wouldn't make sense because the mechanics behind those attacks contradicts the 'hyperbole' being made (once).
By cut down any enemy, it's not supposed to suggest shitting on any defence physically. It's supposed to assume that Totsuka bypasses any defence because it's not physical - but metaphysical. It can inflict physical damage without being physically present, given it has no physical form as stated about 3 times. But of course, you're going to deny this too because you'd rather apply logic in a manga then listen to what the author has to say.
The only thing that I could possibly see being exempt is the Juubi or Kaguya, and that's only because they are the origins of chakra and it's more then likely that they/she created these weapons, and the weapon would logically not have more power then its creator.
Read again. It says change every one of its properties.. with the attributes of the attack, rendering the attack ineffective. Thus it means any attack given the context it is in.No, the explanation of how it works says that it changes it's properties to render attacks ineffective. Never says that it can do that to every single attack.
Except that claiming it's hyperbole is completely retarded. 3 times in canon is not hyperbole, not even close. And wait, here's the 4thExcept Kishimoto's hyperbolic word isn't meant to be taken as literal fact. Period. It being stated once in the Manga and once in the DB doesn't automatically make it evolve from hyperbole to literal fact. Your whole argument is "it was said more than once (twice :lol) so it must be true" even though that line of thinking is hilariously ridiculous and cannot and should not be taken seriously.
The name could be the reason. It changes its attributes in order to deflect any attack. That's all that we need to understand that the mechanics behind it is viable. If it states that it tanks any attack by being an unmovable or extremely dense defence then it's obviously limited. In the same way, Chidori's sharpness and the Kabutowari's momentum are clearly limiting factors for their potential to live up to their hype.Yata Mirror gives no reason why it can turn back any attack. It only says that it changes it's properties to render an attack effective. Mentions nothing that'd lead you to believe that it can turn back any attack. These weapons are easily the most wanked things in any Naruto forum. You complain about people disregarding them due to lack of feats, but then you use that same lack of feats to try and make hyperbole fact based on "author's word" when anyone who can read can pick out the literal fact from the obvious hyperbole, and once you've done that as I know you can do that, you present this weak cop out argument, telling me that Yata is true because "it was stated more than once".
Chidori and Kabutowari's mechanics don't contradict their hype. They are attacks, attacks deal damage, hype says that the damage dealt is so great that no defense can block it. Period.
Lol, what? There's 3 instances of it being stated to possess no physical form, and then the side note which Kishi put in for an OBVIOUS reason; to explain what spirit weapons are. Yet when he says they have no physical form you once again know best and deny it. Also, the VIZ translation is no physical form lmfao [Then we have Totsuka. I die a little inside every time I see someone claim they aren't physically present when Zetsu states that they have it has no real physical form. Keywords being "NO REAL". Meaning Totsuka doesn't have an actual physical shape of it's own, doesn't change the fact that the object is obviously present in the physical word, and thus can be blocked by physical shields just as it can cut through physically present beings and objects. What's worse is that you completely assumed everything in this part of your post, when DB says one thing and only one thing "cut down all enemies". Anything else is unsubstantiated extra stuff added since you know that Totsuka being powerful enough to cut through anything is a load of crap.
Restate your question then, I must've missed it. Then I'll argue that Yata survives, I was simply suggesting that it's the only possible thing I'd exempt in the case somebody wants to argue that it was created via COAT.And I liked how you dodged the question.
Lol no. Nothing even begins to imply that they are the weapons creators nor can you claim that it repels all attacks because Kishi said so, but then turn around and say that it can't block the Juubi or Kaguya's attacks. At the end of the day, Kaguya is an alien who obtained the origin of chakra. How does that put her above a supernatural spirit shield that is stated to be a God's power and can turn back any attack no matter what kind?
I recently found some cracks on Yata mirror after Sasuke attacked it with paper bombs. Imma post ever single panel with Yata in them during Sasuke vs Itachi

Highly doubt those are cracks. They seem more like the outline of rocks/boulders... We can't even see the body of susano'o through Yata like we normally can in that scan, due to the smoke caused by the explosion. We see no cracksYou guys are posting damn paragraphs, but not one of you bothered to address the cracks I showed you on Yata mirror.

rest of the susanoo is irrelevant as everytime we've seen the fully formed yata mirror, it has looked solid.Second, are these all "You must be registered for see links" we see all over Susano'o that hasn't even been touched?
But you kind off do though, if you look closely. I don't know why you expect for Kishi to draw every single individual rock/boulder in the same exact position in every single scan.We don't see kind of rocks with that kind of shape anywhere near Itachi

Not necessarily. Just that the way those lines are drawn they seem to me that they're on the Mirror.But you kind off do though, if you look closely. I don't know why you expect for Kishi to draw every single individual rock/boulder in the same exact position in every single scan.
It's only irrelevant to you because it's debunks your entire claim. Everytime we see susano'o is appears to be solid as well. What we're seeing is the outline of rocks behind it in both scans. Yata took zero damage from Orochimaru's most powerful technique, but somehow the output of damage from 2 paper bombs exceeds it? Doesn't make any sense to begin with.
We've seen YataYata Mirror, right here, seems pretty transparent to me [You must be registered for see links]. Not to mention right after we see that page, we can see Itachi's right behind piled up debris [You must be registered for see links-You must be registered for see links]. The idea that paper tags are cracking or doing any significant damage to a weapon that was just given the praise it was is sorta. . I don't see that ever being a thing. Hype or no hype, paper tags would never scratch it.
Bruh, just use common sense... you're claiming that 2 paper tags cracked Yata Mirror.Not necessarily. Just that the way those lines are drawn they seem to me that they're on the Mirror.
I said Susanoo is irrelevant because Itachi's weapons weren't originally his. Susanoo in Itachi's case has shown with cracks over it, just like you posted the scan. Fully formed Yata hasn't. Not until what I highlighted. And what really did those snakes do exactly? They just hit Yata, and were cut off. The damage done by them is inferior to the paper bombs.
Except, we've seen it can be. And it was in the scan that's mentioned, considering we blatently see a chunk of rubble behind Yata and Itachi.We've seen YataYou must be registered for see linksbeing transparent. I doubt transparency has anything much to do with it.
Agreed butTbh... Even ignoring all the hype, Totsuka and Yata have an impressive feat. The two combined absolutely zero-diffed Orochimaru's strongest technique. An S-Rank technique, from a legendary sannin that devoted his entire life at discovering foribidden jutsu.

Not only doesn't it make sense for Itachi to use a shield that would be weaker than his normal Susano'o to avoid Sasuke's attack, but from a literary standpoint to have what was considered a supernatural tool that, when with Totsuka, made Itachi near unbeatable, to be cracked. Authors can have characters relay incorrect or faulty information, even lie, to get points across. But the fact that no other statements were addressing the damage "done" to Yata doesn't correspond with that.
Some good points. Imma concede for the time being.Bruh, just use common sense... you're claiming that 2 paper tags cracked Yata Mirror.
Itachi's susano'o doesYou must be registered for see links. What you're seeingYou must be registered for see linksis all the outline of rocks/boulders behind Itachi. Even look at Totsuka Blade... It's the same thing. That completely debunks your whole claim. What you highlighted are the outline of the rocks behind Itachi. The strength of those colossal snake heads would obviously produce more output of damage then 2 paper tag explosions, which Sakura took with no significant damage.
I'm pretty sure that 8 Branches is stronger then Orochimaru's incomplete ET at that time. It makes sense, and this is what Kishi said so I'll take it as fact. The DB also say's that the serpent crushes the Uchiha Hideout (pretty much a mountain range) by simply slithering on it. It carries that much mass, which only means the strength of it's physical attack must be extremely strong. Yet Yata Mirror completely deflected it without any issue. TBB blowing up a mountain means nothing, when we already saw it's limitation. It failed to kill Suegetsu, and the Hachibi itself. Meanwhile, we haven't seen Yata Mirrors limitation; which shouldn't by any manga/DB supported means be outdone by Suegetsu and the Hachibi.Agreed but
Orochimarus strongest technique (obviously its Edo Tensei, not this, but this what I'll refer to) is nothing to a TBB. The Hydra only showed physical attacks which I'm sure were very powerful, but still not enough to blow up a mountain like TBB. It being S-Rank doesn't make Yatas hype more valid either. Ranks are the difficulty it requires to preform, not the power of the technique.
