I just wanted to say this, Yuji was NEVER weak.: Even without using CE he was already stronger than most rank 2 fighters, but unfortunately he faced a special level opponent (finger wielder). If you catch the Itadori post-hanami, he would give the finger bearer A BEATING.

His next opponent? Mahito. Arguably the strongest disastrous curse, even with Yuji's immunity Against the Mahito technique, Mahito Aida could heal himself, create transformed humans, and even attack Yuji's friends to destabilize them. (Besides the fact that Yuji was tired and had no desire to fight Because of the deaths that Sukuna caused.)

The next opponent... YUTA. Simply the second most powerful active opponent at that moment. (Only behind Kenjaku)

Next opponent: Higuruma. Besides Yuji not fighting to kill, Higuruma He simply removed Yuji's cursed energy (and even then he still had difficulty keeping up with Yuji).

Yuji's last opponent is simply THE FUCKING SUKUNA, THE KING OF CURSES AND THE The strongest sorcerer in history up to that point. No comment. (And remember that Yuji, besides managing to "tank" Sukuna the entire fight, also faced and killed Sukuna completely healing .)
