First off, I think it's pretty safe to say that Yata Mirror can defend against any full-on, front attack.
However, it's also pretty safe to say that Yata Mirror can be maneuvered around.
Think about these three examples.

1. Kimimaro's Bracken Dance. I'd post pics but I'm on my phone. It's his Jutsu where bones erupt from the ground and stab and impale the victim. It would spawn under Yata Mirror, so I wonder whether or not Yata Mirror could block it.

2. Kakashi's Kamui. The databook describes this as an unblockable attack, and Yata Mirror as capable of blocking anything.
Here's the thing. Kamui would either target Yata Mirror, in which case I doubt Kamui would work, or it'd target Itacji himself. In that scenario, Kamui basically bypasses Yata Mirror. Do you think this is possible?

3. Tobi's Kamui. In this scenario, Obito would basically warp inside Itachi's Susano'o, grab him, and warp him into Kamuiland. I think this method is the most sure-fire way in countering Yata Mirror, as it basically becomes a non-factor.

I'm not taking a stance one way or another in the OP, I'm just interested in what some people have to say.

I don't know what that jutsu called but gaara's sand jutsu while he was fighting with madara with the help of naruto fuuton : Rasen shuriken which thrown Madara out of his susano'o, i think that might be another counter to Yata mirror :win:

I only disagree with Kakashi's Kamui being capable of bypassing the Yata no Kagami because it can expand and basically create an orb around the Susano'o.

This means that any Doton user/Gaara can counter it ? Possible,but I highly doubt it .

It is possible IMO , since Susano'o/Yata does not protect the user from inside . I completely agree
3. Tobi's Kamui. In this scenario, Obito would basically warp inside Itachi's Susano'o, grab him, and warp him into Kamuiland. I think this method is the most sure-fire way in countering Yata Mirror, as it basically becomes a non-factor.
This is obvious .

Itachi already countered Sawarabi no Mai with Susanoo. He doesn't need to defend.

Kakashi's Kamui not necessarily, if we go by how the ability of the Yata mirror was described.

Obito's Kamui, I doubt it. Since the user of Susanoo is surrounded by the protective Chakra. He can't just walk through it, go tangible and touch Itachi, to absorb him.

this
gaara in a desert>yata
he could use the sand under his feet and use sand burial, sand coffin, or simply fill the hollow susanoo leaving no room for the user inside the susanoo

theres also yoroi's technique

1. Yes, it can counter Yata Mirror.
2. No it will go and absorb Susano'o, so it will fail.
3. Yes it can counter Yata Mirror.

You can either tire the user of Yata until he cant keep it up, or you can attack him with powerhouse attacks, or go underground and take him out.

Kamui is obviously > Yata since it's hype is above that of yata(any defense is useless against it and yata is a defense)

Evil little bugger. No one is takin' you seriously with that Sakura set.

@On-Topic. Basically any attack from underground can counter it, unfortunately.

I strongly believe that Senjutsu would shatter that mirror.
