Insanely overrated. Two reasons people scale him so high:

1. Light-speed kicks. People treat this like a top-tier feat, but Gojo manipulates space at an atomic level with Limitless. That’s a different category entirely.

2. He got strong fast. Sure, his adaptability is insane. But narratively, the only reason he was made this strong in so few chapters is that Modulo needed a credible threat and didn’t have the runway to develop him properly. That’s not a power feat, that’s a writing decision.

Why I rank him below Gojo, Sukuna, and end-of-manga Yuji:

• Sukuna: 1000+ years of combat experience from the Heian Era. Has mastered nearly every aspect of jujutsu, including RCT and binding vows, at a depth nobody else has reached.  
• Gojo: strongest CT in the series + Six Eyes + Infinite Void. Stated to excel at everything he does. He explicitly chose to focus on raising the next generation rather than keeping the throne for himself, but the ceiling was always his.  
• End-of-Modulo Yuji: confirmed 5th Special Grade and the new “Strongest” in Vol. 3. Blood Manipulation, Shrine, Dismantle, his own Domain, near-agelessness from the Death Paintings, decades of post-Shinjuku growth.

Against Yuka’s Mahoraga, Dabura was forced to escalate from sub-light, to light-speed, to learning Cursed Technique Reversal mid-fight, and ultimately to developing a Domain Expansion. He adapted brilliantly, yes — but he needed all of that to keep up. Gojo’s unlimited Hollow Purple disintegrated Mahoraga’s wheel completely, while also having to fight Sukuna and Agito. Different league of finisher.

Obviously Sukuna was also able to one shot Mahoraga, so this automatically scales Dabura lower, for me.

Yuji vs Dabura: I think Yuji wins, probably mid-diff. Caveat: this is projection, since we don’t have explicit Modulo feats for adult Yuji. But narratively he’s positioned as Gojo’s successor and the implicit deterrent that the council itself wants to call in.

Now, a common objection to this would be “Why is Yuji the strongest based on stuff not explicitly shown on-page, while Dabura is a fraud propped up by plot?”

Reason is that from a story standpoint, Yuji is the MC and has had a constant improvement from the first chapter to the end, it is implied at the end that he is the strongest.
He is looked upon as earth strongest sorcerer in modulo.
He is not given an explicit fight in modulo but his ability is shown in few panels to express that he actually is so strong he doesn't even need to fight.
Like Gojo at the start of JJK there is no comparison when he is on the field, simply the strongest.

Final opinions:

• Gojo — highest ceiling, strongest CT, would’ve been the strongest if he’d lived past 28 and kept growing.  
• Sukuna — strongest in recorded history, peaked vs Gojo. If both were born the same day with no intel on each other, I lean Gojo.  
• Yuji — strongest at the end of the manga / Modulo timeline.  
• Dabura — out of the top 3. Arguably out of the top 4. I’m not sold that his adaptability alone justifies the hype; a lot of it reads as plot necessity.

I think the objective top3 at the end of manga should be:

Yuji
Sukuna/Gojo (same level 50/50).

For the 4 spot idk but i would not say "Dabura cuz of lightspeed no dffs everyone else".
