*YOUR OPINION* Can Yata Block Any Attack?

[Europa]

No, and yes. It can block straight forward attacks. But not Kamui

 

[-Best-]

actually it can block all the attacks..but i think there is a week point for that too..I guess it can block the attack if and only if it faces it directly...attacking the yata mirror's backside..of from inside may damage it..every weapon must have a weakness..

 

[Sabuto Hayashi]

It's a tough question, depending on whether one reads the databook as pure hype or complete fact. I'm honestly not sure, but I take the databook statement with a pinch of salt. Most of the descriptions sound like mythical exaggeration rather than a detailed analysis.

Since it took no visible damage from Kirin - arguably one of the strongest jutsu in the entire series - I'd guess that it can probably block most techniques. To most shinobi, they would not have anything strong enough to bust through the Mirror, hence the large majority of characters would believe the statement that it can 'block any attack'. That doesn't mean that perhaps a rare, large-scale or unimaginably powerful technique could at least make a dent in the Yata Mirror. After all, Itachi himself claimed every jutsu and the like has a weakness.

It's a spiritual item.This is what people forget... the item is legendary. It's not insane or unbelievable for it to block any attack because it's a godly item, it's legendary.


I don't see why not. It can block any attack, renders any attack useless, changes any of its physical attributes which includes size (so it can block from behind and below as well)

Until this is contradicted, the Yata mirror will remain impenetrable.

Regardless of how powerful a weapon is, it is only as strong as the person wielding it. Now as T Bogard so nicely put it, unless the Yata mirror is a living entity (like Gaara's sand) then it mainly depends on Itachi to change its properties according to the attack used against it.

If this is the case then this is the Yatta mirror's greatest strength and weakness.

no it cant block everything. it can block the most powerful physical ninjutsu and taijutsu, though it has a weak spot in that it only blocks from one ditection. it also cant block indirect attacks that involve natural forces of the universe such as light, magnetism and s/t distortions

it can change its attributes which include its element composition, but not its basic form.

only yata mirror tanked kirin, not susanoo. susanoo appearing was just to show the different stages as itachi presented it to sasuke.

 

[RasenUchihaChaos]

till its proven if i can be defeated it remains unbeatable

 

[Naijakid]

It can stand against flower tree world

 

[Multiply]

I don't see why not honestly.

 

[snake orochimaru]

in theory, it can block anything.

a Juubi dama??

I have my doubts...

What was said and shown by this supernatural item, makes me suppose it can indeed repel anything what directly hits the shield.

@Bogard, the shield makes it by itself, Itachi can't determine the exact properties of an attack. The databook also refers to the shield to be the one changing its properties. It doesn't say that the wielder changes the properties of the shield to repel the attack, but that the shield does it.

Don't try to go by a logical way, asking how it's going to react at the attack by itself. This is a point where one shouldn't search for a logical answer in a Manga. The shield simply does it.

 

[Hafiz Dembos]

I don't think so. There are other hypes around like this, e.g amaterasu is as hot as the sun.

 

[Xāvî1]

Yes offcourse it can

 

[ShishaMastah420]

I came for the databoobs.

 

[slaton02]

Yata mirror vs totsuka blade which wins? I think the mirror loses

 

[fastrthnwind]

till its proven if i can be defeated it remains unbeatable

one of the most common logical fallacies

i could easily say "till its proven that it can tank a certain attack in the manga, it is possible to defeat it with this attack"

completely reversed logic of the same fallacy

 

[OWanime]

yata mirror can block any thing that's s-rank and below (like kirin) but dust release, kamui, or enton or pure blunt force from like a kurama or juubi tbb should overwhelm the susanoo xd

 

[Blunt]

we all know Susano itself is not very strong unless we're talking about Perfect Susano which has really strong armor.

^notice the back and sides of Susano unprotected by Yata Mirror, which are clear open spots to lay a hit. xd

Actually, any level above V2 is damn tough, Madara's skeletal Susano'o tanked Juubi's tenpachi, or w/e it is called with minimal effort. Ribcage took a complete Liger Bomb from Raikage, which decimated everything around it, with just a crack on it. He also tanked the combined efforts of Darui, Gaara, Temari and Kankuro with no trouble. Sasuke's EMS Susano'o has tengu armour on it, even before he got PS.


There are very few people that can hurt Susano'o past v2/v3. Yata or not, Susano'o is the strongest defense in the series, it is a manga fact and it would be silly to believe Susano'o is not tough unless it is PS, it is clearly durable before PS as well.

 

[Mellanoma]

Concerning the yata hype there are some questions that need to be ask

1- How does it actually change its attributes according to an attack? Is it automatic? Cuz i don't think the shield possess eyes or some sort of detector to notify the opponent attack in question and act accordingly? Or does it?

2- If the shield in question doesn't change it's properties on its own(meaning it doesn't have a sort of detector to notify the opponent attack first), does it mean it's the user of the weapon who changes its properties manually?

If it's the case, does it mean that if the user himself fails to analyse an attack in time or doesn't change the properties in time according to the opponent attack, would it fail to protect him against said attack?

It's a spiritual item lol.. Also it is a mirror meaning it reflects and adapts... putting too much logic into it bro

It does it yes, but the means to do it is important to possibly notify the mechanism of the shield because it's hype doesn't clearly gives us a hint concerning its mechanism. If it does via direct physical contact with the opponent attack for example(the most likely), then this following question

- How much time does it take to change its properties? After all according to Hiruzen, there is a limit in which Obito's onmyodon for example could stay in a particular form, so it's not totally impossible that it's also the case for the mirror

 

[Shinobi2012]

Our opinions hold not value.

Kishi said it can,so it can.
Its as simple as that.
