Yuji has come a long way since gaining Cursed Energy

Over time, Yuji has developed powerful techniques like Divergent Fist, enabling him to fight against numerous impressive sorcerers. His growth in knowledge and abilities, combined with his ability to learn from Gojo and Sukuna’s finger, has made him an impressive sorcerer.

Yuji actually became a very good user of reverse cursed technique. This is evident from the fact that he was able to take several of Sukuna’s attacks, some even at point-blank range, and heal from them efficiently.
