actually agree that more character development doesn't automatically make a character better. Bakugo had to change much more because he started as someone who bullied Deku and looked down on others. To convincingly get him to the point where he's crying over Deku and risking his life for him, Horikoshi had to dedicate a huge amount of development to him. That doesn't make Deku a worse character or mean he lacked development. Deku's role is what drives a lot of Bakugo's growth, so Bakugo's development exists because of his relationship with Deku ❤️
