Megumi is absent throughout the final battle with Sukuna. He never reached his full potential in JJK.

Yuji's Great Rise in the Shinjuku Tournament
- Yuji practices hard before the confrontation in Shinjuku.
- Yuji awakens his hidden powers.
Yuji grows greatly in the Shinjuku Tournament of Jujutsu Kaisen– in fact His growth came in two separate ways. The first was the training he did before the Shinjuku Tournament. with body exchange techniques Including training directly under Shozo. his younger brother Yuji has gained mastery in many arts. By switching bodies Kusakabe taught him many powerful abilities, such as the Obstacle Technique. And of course, the most important thing is the simple domain. Yuji learns this technique and allows him to protect himself from Sukuna's expanding domain. And later at the end It was used as the basis for Yuji to create a domain expansion. That's definitely not all. Yuji also trains under Shozo after consuming Death Paintings Numbers 4 to 9. This gives him access to blood manipulation. Even though he couldn't control it well.

However, at least Yuji was able to heal more efficiently using blood manipulation. This meant that it greatly enhanced his strength. Yuji can also use powers such as Convergence and Supernova, but these powers require Yuji to enlist the help of his brother Choso to use them properly.
Unsurprisingly, this isn't all Yuji learned. He also trained with Yuta Okkotsu and improved his general strength and efficiency levels with the cursed energy. Yuji also trains with Gojo Satoru, but what he learns from this training is unknown.
Aside from the training Yuji did before the Shinjuku Battle, fans also know that he received a major power boost in the arc itself. He shows off the abilities he learned during the time travel. and is incredibly effective in fighting Sukuna. Compared to the King of Curses His hidden potential was awakened. and gives him access to the Shrine Curse technique. As fans know, Shrine is a deadly ability that allows one to slash and slice a target. And this ability awakens in Yuji as well, although his Shrine version is slightly different from Sukuna's version.
Yuji takes advantage of the great power of domain expansion. And this is where the battle with Sukuna ends. Yuji destroys him within his territory. and tears him from Megumi's body. and get rid of him forever.

This must mean that Yuji Itadori has the same potential as Sukuna! – Uraume
In the end He is the magician who defeated Sukuna. But your boyfriend shouldn't hold you back. It should be clear to all readers that Yuji Itadori probably couldn't defeat Sukuna on his own. In fact All the wizards would have died terribly if Gojo hadn't weakened Sukuna greatly during his fight with him. Even after that Sukuna also fought against many mages. And they kept him busy many times. This allows Yuji to perform two powerful attacks. Yuji can die multiple times during the Shinjuku Showdown. And if Sukuna isn't thoroughly nerfed. Yuji would never win this fight. This matter is clear for all fans to see. Yuji is very strong now. But he's not as strong as Sukuna.
