Disclaimer: This a serious thread, not an Itachi wank/hate thread indisguise.

You must be registered for see images



Note: This thread will be made to look for an unbiased and (hopefully) final setlement for this infamous tool.
I will starting off this with what I hope can be considered common ground:
The Yata is at least as strong as a v4 Susanoo (if it isn't what would be the point of even having a shield weaker than the construct itself?)
The Mirror tanked: The heads of Orochimaru's Yata noJutsu, a string of paper bombs and Sasuke's katana
The Mirror did not tanked: Demonic flute (it could be argued that Itachi did not have the time to activate it)
Now on the arguments (I will be editing this part with your inputs)

Arguments in favor of Yata's invincibility:

Databook hype/definition:
You must be registered for see images


Black Zetsu's (Kaguya's will itself) hype:
You must be registered for see images


The fact that it actually managed to defend against all phisical/ninjutsu attacks that it have faced so far

Arguments against Yata's invincibility:

The no limits fallacy:

The fact that the mirror didn't reacted to any top tier attackattack (a.k.a. "no feats to back up the hype")

Itachi's own quote:
You must be registered for see images



So... Discuss!

Sakura's punch easily wrecks Yata Mirror.

The PS Slash is stated to destroy all Creation.*

Yata Mirror is a Creation.*

PS Sword obliterates Yata Mirror.

The arguments against it prove that it isn't, he had a chance to use either of those weapons but didn't. He then proceeded to say everything has a weakness so it also applies to his weapons.

Kabutowari breaks every shield/defense because the Manga said so, and nothing contradicts it. So I'm pretty sure Kabutowari one shots Yata Mirror.

At the very worst what the mirror and final susanoo can collectively allow itachi to survive is an attack with as much destructive force as kirin. They didn't completely block it as itachi was on the ground with his cloak off but he survived.

The mirror itself was introduced to explain away itachi escaping kirin.

However several jutsus which work differently than just pure destructive force woud till get itachi like, the gravitational pull of chibaku tensei, space time jutsu, sound genjutsu, attacks directly below his foot etc etc. And of course attacks with more power than kirin

We saw few jutsus countered by Yata , that's all it was proved to do.

Title answer: We don't know , but I'm sure Itachi is right in your quote.

Yup, pretty sure that it is.

No, it's Jinin Akebino's. Ameyuri Ringo's swords are the Kiba. Not that it matters much.

Anyways, Raikiri pierces Yata since the databook says that it can pierce through anything.

This should tell you how valid the arguments for Yata's potential are.

In no way shape or form do we have any semblance of proof that it can tank attacks like Bijuudama or even Jinton.

I really don't care about what Black Zetsu said. In debates, feats hold more water than hype; hype is only meant to be a supporting detail to an argument at best. When hype becomes the main point of an argument without feats... Then the argument has failed.
