This is what I think of Izanami:

"Izanami was never said to require the user to touch the opponent with an item or otherwise. Is said to require their physical senses, not that it requires touch. Also it doesn't require the opponent to lie to themselves about who they are, to be activated. That's dumb, if that was the case there was bound to be plenty of Uchiha who could use Izanagi that Izanami couldn't work on. There would be no point in this jutsu like that."

"Who Izanami works on, depends on the opponent not accepting the outcome to some situation."
