Lmao whoever edited that in is incorrect. The wiki is generally reliable but people can randomly edit in incorrect info. My facts on the yata mirror come from the databook and manga only. What I said about the yata mirror comes from those sources. The yata mirror in its base form is just a regular ethereal shield but it can change its properities to adapt to an attack. The fact that it deflected the sword without applying any nature transformation should tell you the shield isnt limited to deflecting elemental attacks.

Thats what I said from the beginning there is no evidence the rinnegan is immune to visual genjustu or even has a resistance to it. There is no evidence he would be immune to tsyukyomi, itachi's finger genjutsu etc

They should be starting at standard battle distance. Even at the distance you start them at itachi has the speed to move towards nagato, start casting genjustu and a bunch of other stuff. Itachi was not close to orochimaru he was a good distance away. Orochimaru was still hit in between words and his strength is irrelevant because totusuka is a one shot kill. Itachi bodied orochimaru when oro was at full strength anyways with one genjutsu. Nagato has to do summoning jutsu, then get on top of the birds and thats not happening instantly. Even if he gets in flight itachi can still close the horizontal distance to a good degree then the totsuka blade can seal. Nagato isnt getting off all those techniques in under a second. Shinra tensi and missles etc countered by yata mirror

There is no evidence of what the minimum damage needed to destroy chibaku tensi is so all those who say itachi cant beat it himself have no basis. He had too jinchurki who needed to break it so they fired their strongest attacks to destroy it quickly. 0 evidence he can't do it by himself with multiple yasaka matagma and shadow clones if needed.
