That's because it just said on the same page above that it repels any attack. Now in the continuation and elaboration of this weapon, it merely uses the word 'attack' in general, implying that any attack is rendered ineffective. Unless of course, you're going to deny that them being on the same page doesn't mean anything lmfao.
No, to anyone who can properly read, that small panel for Totsuka and for Yata explains how the jutsu itself works, while the above is flowery language that people love to eat up and use to make nonsense claims like "Yata tanks all". The fact that they both start off introducing the weapon despite the weapons being introduced in the first paragraph of the page only begins to prove my point.
It uses the word "attack" in general because it isn't referring to a specific attack. :lol Not sure where you got the bold from, but it's obviously false.
Actually, it very much does. If a jutsu is stated to capable of shitting on anything and then 100 chapters in the manga it fails, then it was either a 1. Hyperbole or 1. Rectified. Then you ALSO remember that it was always limited in potential. If Chidori is going against a defence which is much more durable then what it can penetrate, or it's is going against a Futon, it loses by default. Kabutowari has the same limited potential. This is how it works [

]. The hammer is required for the blade to go through, and the hammer's power relies on the user's strength, and then there's also the metal's durability not breaking. When it comes to Yata Mirror there is NO limited potential. The shield breaking because there's too much force? But it has no physical form, so that's not happening.
Too much energy? Again, not happening since Yata changes every one of its properties to deflect any incoming attack and render it ineffective. Then there's the 2 Databook and 1 manga statements reinforcing this. Bias is not a reason to separate Yata and Totsuka from every other hyperbole. Nothing else in the manga has 4 hyperboles, and nothing else in the manga was made unearthly by Kishi when he chose to make them within metaphysical/astral realms.
-Chidori going against a Fuuton does not mean that it loses by default. What in the world are you even talking about? Elemental advantage only makes it harder for an attack to overpower another. Period. DB hypes Raikiri to be capable of piercing through anything, thus it would pierce through any Fuuton attack, or rather overpower, if I didn't use my brain and separate hyperbole from literal fact.
-Raikiri going against a defense that is too strong for it to penetrate isn't a limiting factor when DB says it can pierce ANYTHING. Lol I can turn around and use the same logic on Totsuka, and no, it doesn't "phase through" it's targets to cut them. It cuts them like any other sword would cut them. Everything and anything else is unsubstantiated. Simple as that.
-Kabutowari needing a strong enough user isn't a limiting factor that proves your point, because then if someone strong enough gets it, that limitation is completely erased.
-And the "metal's durability not breaking" goes back to the same statement of it being able to smash any shield.
Bold is completely unrelated to the question you are asking, something stated over a million times now.
Yet you keep saying once in manga and once in DB. It's 3 times in canon as a whole.
Yet I clearly stated
TWICE in my last post, this post and the post before my last post. Once again, I suggest you read.
Didn't realise that, my bad. But no, Yata is hyped 3 times in canon. And then there's the unearthly portrayal aspect that is mentioned in both the databook on several occasions and the manga. It states its function RIGHT after it states that Yata can repel any attack and is a perfect defence. You can keep saying the follow-up statement doesn't insinuate that any attack is ineffective, but you're clearly in the wrong given the context.
-Once by Zetsu.
-Once by Databook.
I'm just going to say this one more time.
It's been hyped
TWICE. Not 3 times. Though using the amount of times it's been hyped to determine it's validity is ridiculous in itself.
It being stated more then once means Kishi intends for this to be believes. Yata can change all its properties to make any incoming attack ineffective. That's more then enough reason to believe that the mechanics of it substantiate its hype. And again, it does when the statement is made right after the claim that Yata can repel any attack.
Which is based on nothing but your own baseless opinion. Guess I should go tell everyone that Amaterasu is as strong as Kishimoto claimed it was, considering he's hyped it's attack strength more than once.
But that would apply to things like Preta and GSB. The only thing limiting it is the speed of absorption, anything else is irrelevant.
I have 3 different Wall of Fail worthy quotes from this post alone. :lol
But those weapons have no unearthly portrayal, they aren't put on a different pedestal, they don't have comparable hype or statements made by someone who knows about Kaguya, etc. You clearly lack the ability to differentiate between a regular hyperbole and a weapon the author intends to put on a different level. Raikiri is just a ninjutsu with nough shape manipulation to apparently go through any defence. Kabutowari is merely a special sword with a hammer reinforcing it stated to shit on any defence. Yata Mirror is a metaphysical defence that is named a spirit weapon with the hype to be invincible because it can change every one of its own properties in accordance to the incoming attack's. There's clearly a difference here, I wouldn't be surprised if the likes of River or AZ could spot this.
Which is once again, irrelevant. You keep repeating the same tired and beaten argument of "it was said more than once, thus it's true", "it is an unearthly weapon, thus it has no limits" as if it's corrected. Kishimoto hyping the weapons to be unearthly means that they are on a higher pedestal than most other things point blank period. All this extra nonsense about that being a cause to take it's hyperbole as literal fact is nothing but nonsense. Who wrote the rules for "regular hyperbole" and "hyperbole meant to be taken literally"? Definitely not you, assuming such nonsense even exists.
And the bold is you still trying to hold on to things that we all know aren't true since your argument barely has any legit support.
The only ones who'd be dumb enough to agree with what you are saying here tbh would be people like River and AZ. :lol
Actually, you simply don't understand how Amaterasu works. Amaterasu works by intended target. The flames true potential only burns whatever the eye focuses on [

]. When the eye focused on Hachibi, it destroyed a few of its limbs even though Hachibi survived its own TBB. When it was intended to burn the Fire Toad's stomach, it did instantly. When Itachi aimed Amaterasu at Sasuke's body and Sasuke's Katon, they all burned instantly. The only times it failed with an intended target was when it was either absorbed by Madara and Kaguya, or nullified by Obito. Enton does not have an intended target and burns extremely slowly. Even v1 Susano does not feel that shit. Yet we go back to when Ama has an intended target like the Cereberus and it one shotted him, despite him taking 0 apparent damage from FRS hitting him throughout its entire duration. And now we go back to unintended targets; the samurai, Karin, etc. They only felt the regular heat of Enton. It being as hot as the sun is clearly hyperbole, but it does stand to its hype as an offensive ability, being hot enough to revert the entire cave against Kabuto and melting through Kido's webs instantl
y. And then we also have the fact that.. Amaterasu was never portrayed as an unearthly attack, it was never made a spirit or etheral attack, it doesn't have the same intended 'look' that Yata and Totsuka had.
All of this is completely irrelevant, though I applaud you for dodging the original question. Amaterasu is hyped to be the STRONGEST physical attack and it is hyped to BURN AS HOT AS THE SUN. Am I supposed to believe that nonsense? Yes or no. You say "no", it's hyperbole, but Kishimoto has hyped it's offensive power twice now. The bias is clear, and the bias is because you think a Spirit Weapon is reason enough for you to make ridiculous claims with no real evidence behind them.
Bold is completely irrelevant, and proof that your argument can be summed down to:
"It's a spirit weapon thus I can say it has no limits"
Which is a terrible argument.
Stop playing stupid. It can't be blocked unless the defence can block metaphysical attacks, something which only Yata can do. Until you give me a reason as to how PS is stopping a metaphysical attack, you can drop this argument. It can destroy things in the physical realm without being present in it, that's what being metaphysical allows it to do.
This is what metaphysical things are:
the branch of philosophy that deals with the first principles of things, including abstract concepts such as being, knowing, substance, cause, identity, time, and space.
abstract theory or talk with no basis in reality.

Anyone with half a brain realizes how stupid this sounds, claiming that Totsuka has no physical presence in this world when it is shown to PHYSICALLY CUT THROUGH OROCHIMARU'S SNAKES. None of this "its there, but it's not there" BS you are trying to push in this argument. I'm 99% sure you pulled this out of your rear end anyway.
This is what an ethereal being has already done in part 1 [

]. He went through pretty much everything, the same applies to Totsuka. It can go through anything and hit the opponent within said defence. And being metaphysical does not exist in the same plane as thoughts and time, depending on how you define metaphysical. Regardless, Doki should pretty much prove that Totsuka ignores durability and fūcks shit up.
Lmfao. Terrible comparison considering Totsuka was shown to physically interact with it's target while Doki did not in any way, shape or form. Totsuka CUT through Orochimaru's heads physically. It didn't phase through them. This comparison is completely ridiculous and you sound silly saying "Totsuka is the same" when Totsuka was shown not to be the same.
I've brought definitions from the internet that define metaphysical things as things that exist, but aren't tangible, and the examples given are the same ones shown below. I suggest you bring proof for anything relating to this metaphysical stuff considering I've yet to see a shred of it.
I believe that it can interact in both physical and non-physical realms. I haven't put thought yet into whether it can cut through it or not.
"You believe" but Manga only shows one thing, it
physically cutting it's targets. As for the rest, whether you want to claim it or not or whether you've thought it through doesn't matter since your argument pretty much says that Totsuka bypasses Susanoo and seals Edo Madara. :lol
