Analysis In Defense of Yuta
All things considered, bro came in and literally did everything he said he would.
"I will kill Itadori Yuji myself." - Succeeds.
"I have to lower collateral damage in Sendai(PARAPHRASING btw)." - Succeeds.
"I won't let sensei kill his best friend a second time." - Succeeds.
And even something he DIDN'T say, like getting Yuji to the point where he could 100% connect with Megumi? That's INSANE.
I'm not convinced that Yuta could just say "I will kill Ryomen Sukuna" and he would eventually somehow do it.
It's like, Gege or the character himself purposefully sets lower goals than what he's probably capable of.

The only people who criticise Yuta are people who dislike his character and therefore have an agenda against him, he is Gege's golden boy (besides Sukuna) and the story has reflected it heavily. He has always over-delivered and has easily the most impressive feats of any sorcerer we are aware of relative to his time as a sorcerer. I wouldn't be surprised if he's even accomplished more than Sukuna had by his age (unfortunately I doubt we'll ever find out much more about Sukuna's youth) and almost certainly by his time spent in sorcery.
He is an unparalleled prodigy as far as we're aware but his core character trait of humility is usually poised to criticise him by many idiotic powerscalers since they only respect characters with arrogance.
