1. The Preta Path can absorb any technique regardless of direction. It just so happens that multiple people never attacked the user from multiple directions. lus it's easier to face the direction the jutsu is coming from and simply absorb it.

2. Frog Kata is natural energy, not chakra.

3. Chakra Absorption is limited by one's ability to MOLD CHAKRA, not chakra reserves. If you have no chakra, you can still use the technique because it doesn't require chakra to use, just the ability to mold it by rotating it counter-clockwise within your body. Nagato's Preta Path's body turned into stone. It was inanimate at that point.

4. That may be true, but we can't exactly prove that. In Momoshiki's case, he should have still been able to absorb chakra, but since chakra was absorbed into the eye itself, that's likely why he couldn't absorb chakra after it was stabbed.

5. The Preta Path is far superior to Samahada. It can absorb chakra regardless of nature with no harm to the user. I'm sure Amaterasu would kill Samahada. If the user of the Preta Path touches a Taijutsu user's body, they can absorb chakra directly from their body with contact.
