Yes. Zantetsuken literally does the target's max HP as damage. It isn't affected by damage down, vuln up, etc. It's like the inverse of White Wind.

It *is* affected by shields - shields function normally and block damage until they are exhausted - but is otherwise not affected by buffs or debuffs. As long as you have full HP and have at least 1 point of shielding, you will not die to Zantetsuken. But you'll be nearly dead and pretty much any follow-up will finish you off.
