1)the invincibility is only in play while he is wielding the yata mirror and totsuka blade as stated in the canon. Was Itachi invincible when he got bisected by kabuto? no. Was the yata mirror and totsuka blade up at that time? also no. So concession accepted.

2) Here is how this works. You make a claim, you prove it. The author has only shown itachi wielding the yata mirror and totsuka blade with his complete body susano'o and up. Where is your proof that it can be wielded by him without it? Nonexistent, just as I thought. You made the claim that it doesn't have a chakra cost, you prove that. You brought up those points, not me. Where was it stated or shown that it does or doesn't have a chakra cost? nowhere. Your other point is debunked because we clearly see him deactivating his susano'o whenever he is specifically working on prepping the izanami.

3) My explanation was just fine. The yata mirror is a shield. Did you see it vaporizing the snakes? did you see the shield attacking orochimaru, did you see the shield killing sasuke when he attacked itachi?  no, it protects and/or deflects attacks, it doesn't actively do any offensive/destructive actions. He activates the yata mirror and he would be protected from chibaku tensei, but the mirror wouldn't destroy the core, it would simply stop the pull from affecting his susano'o and protect it from the rocks. naruto and bee's attacks aimed at nagato would still be disrupted by the gravitation, so the core needed to be destroyed. The Yata mirror would simply protect itachi, it doesn't do anything to stop the core from disrupting the terrain as a whole and attacks that are thrown toward nagato. Destroying it was common sense. After that, we clearly see itachi elevate to the his final susano'o form, and for all we know he used the yata mirror to protect himself and his allies from the explosion. You simply grasp at straws. Hiruzen is irrelevant because it was clearly explained the only reason he was considered a god was because people considered hashirama to be a fairytale. Kirin is also irrelevant because it was shown not to be unevadeable, while the yata mirror has not yet been debunked.

4) Rofl, the shield was clearly seen moving on it's own accord when it changed in size, moved to cover the side of susano'o, etc etc, all in response to attacks. Even on Chapter 393 pg 6, you can clearly see the shield expanding in size upward. Then the sfx: whoosh, is defined to be "movement through the air" according to the sfx guides, so that clearly means the shield was returning back to it's normal size. So the shield is capable of movement, so concession accepted. If the shield only changes for attacks that  make "contact with it", then why is it moving/expanding to protect the side of susano'o, when the shield originally only covers the front? Last I check, momentum is a property of an object. The mirror can change any of it's properties in accordance with an attack to render it ineffective, so it can change it's velocity, period. More grasping at straws, those other hyperbole were debunked because they were shown to be countered in the manga, while the yata mirror has not been debunked, and there is a stated mechanic for it's invincibility. No one is harming itachi as long as his stamina lasts and as long as the shield and blade are being wielded, as per canon. Kishimoto>you. when his stamina runs out, then sure he dies, but the condition for invincibility was terminated at that point.
