Yes and no. Reflective abilities can be and often are considered defensive abilities. The nature of Absolute Attack ignores any defense, regardless of its properties, except an Absolute Defense. Even if the power was not originally meant to be used defensively any defensive application of it would be considered a defense and thus fair game for Absolute Attack's automatic bypass/overpower trait. The only exception would be a reflective technique that can reflect any attack regardless of nature or characteristics (such as the Mirror Force Trap Card from Yu-Gi-Oh!). A technique like that would qualify as an Absolute Defense since it would block the attack by reflecting it, so an Absolute Attack would not be able to penetrate it, at least not without losing a lot of power.
