@MIGshinobi: You're claiming that Yata Mirror can withstand Truth Seeking Balls as well? And yet you feel offended when others label people like you as "Itachi wankers". Thing is, the MANGA claims that TSB's can NULLIFY ALL NINJUTSU. They're so potent that even Edo Zombies can't recover once they're hit with it. And yet here you are, citing some old databook and claiming that the Yata Mirror can nullify the TSB's as well. Sorry to break it to you, but the onus is on YOU to provide evidence that the Yata Mirror can withstand TSB's. As others have already pointed out, the Yata Mirror has very little feats. TSB's have a fuck lot more. And the latest infos given by the manga about TSB's contradict your claims.

Also, seeing how Kishi handled Hiruzen's hype and feats, both in the manga and in the databook, it is quite reasonable to take databook hypes with a pinch of salt. Manga feats trump Databook hypes. Later Manga retcons trump earlier manga claims. Black Zetsu said Itachi was "practically" invincible. Yet Itachi hasn't shown any feats that says he actually is invincible. In fact, the manga as a whole contradicts that statement.

Another interesting observation is Juubito's Sword of Nonoboku or whatever that DNA shaped sword is called. Juubito claimed that the sword was so powerful and incomparable that Hagoromo fashioned the world to a certain degree with that DNA Sword. Yet a mere Senjutsu-enhanced Susanoo-clad Kurama Mode chakra chakra sword was able to break that "incomparable" DNA Sword of legends. The look in Juubito's eyes when that happened is really precious.

So if Black Zetsu can exaggerate Itachi's powers, and Obito can overestimate his OP Six Paths power, and if Kishi's manga and databook statements have been retconned with the passage of time, then why should any of us in the fandom take the claims about the Yata Mirror seriously? Face it, the Yata Mirror's only feats are blocking paper bombs, Sasuke's sword, and a mere half-a-dozen Orochi snakes. Miserable feats, if you ask me.

So why should we believe in the featless hype of the Yata Mirror. The TSBs have feats. Madara and Sasuke's Perfect Susanoo have awesome feats. Hashirama's Wood Release has MONSTER feats. Narujesus's Six Paths Sage Mode also has great feats. The Yata Mirror doesn't have any memorable feats. Neither does Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Which is why the rest of the fandom avoids talking about the Yata Mirror and Hiruzen as much as we can. But usually there's always someone who inevitably ends up shouting "DATABOOKS, bitches!!", while the rest of us hang our heads in despair because the databook claims lack manga feats. Sigh.....
