bakugou's character for most of the manga has been about being the best and not really being the hero. you can see this during the hero licensing arc where the reason he doesn't pass is bc he isnt really used to the act of saving people, he usually prioritises defeating the villains. it would make sense that a more well rounded version of his character would learn to "save" people rather than just "defeat villains". rather analysing the point of bakugou jumping to save midoriya, i saw the scene as a development of his character! however all this is just based on what i observed and inferred. I would love to hear your take on this :)
