The gap with Chidori just isn't that big lol
ur right, that's my bad, was too locked in by Sarada's base AP
It's still a pretty solid gap tho, 3.2 Petatons vs 4.56 Petatons, it's still rather significant
Why wouldn't it? If she's knocked out she'll go back to base, but like I said, her Chidori is still fully capable of harming her.
cuz pretty much every other zoan user doesn't
there are several characters in One Piece that have their transformation on all the time, like Chopper, Smiley, the zoan Dwarves, the Jailer Beasts, and Morgans, to such an extent that for some of these, we never even see their non-Zoan forms. Chopper especially doesn't cancel his Zoan transformations even after losing battles or getting knocked out/defeated, or after using Monster Point.
You need to either attack them with something FAR stronger than they can handle (Kaidou vs the Bajrang Gun), straight up kill them (Smiley), or use something like Conquerer's (Joy Boy's knot) in order to forcefully undo Zoan transformations, as those are the only examples of forced cancellation we've seen. Sarada isn't capable of doing any of these unless she spams several of Chidoris in a row, which... frankly I don't know if she can do cuz I didn't finish the Code's assault arc and in that arc her stamina is shit but if she can then she prob wins but if she can't she's kinda screwed
even if she launches the Chidori, any amount of severe pain (which the chidori can cause) can break standard Sharingan genjutsu anyways, so after a single use, Yamato breaks out, gets pissed, blitzes with Thunder Bagua gg, or just blast her with ice gg
speaking of the ice, I'm pretty sure Yamato being under Genjutsu doesn't cancel his passive Ice Armor so she's not hurting Yamato anyways until she breaks through, so she likely needs more than 1 Chidori to take him down anyways
Even if I granted this (which is dubious), this is under the assumption that:
1) Observation Haki can see through Genjutsu (which is ehhh)
2) Yamato always has Observation Haki active (which hasn't been proven so far)
3) And even if she does always have it active, you'd have to assume she has prior knowledge on how Genjutsu mechanics work - which she doesn't.
Observation Haki is described as "sensing intent" so maybe Yamato can try dodging it, but you're right, it can't block it at all, and even dodging it is purely speculative
1. You're right, it can't
2. You're right, he doesn't
3. that's true, he doesn't
but again, none of this really matters as natural durability + Ice Armor allows Yamato to survive a Chidori, break out of genjutsu, and just hit her once and Sarada dies
