Not sure if they have better development but these characters are written pretty well:
Doflamingo
Franky
Luffy (pre-G5)
Zoro
Sanji (if you ignore the pervert gags)
Enel
Kuzan
Akainu
Kaido
Blackbeard
I don't know if all of these characters are above or equal to Sasuke in terms of writing, but they're top notch for me and a few of them are definitely some of the best in Shonen imo.

Care to explain is Kaido writen pretty well?
 
Zoro is my darg but he can’t compare to sasuke, he was an actual deuteragonist that got fleshed out and who’s journey and choices was central to the plot of Naruto.

Zoro is a support character, who’s pretty much static. There have been glimpses that made us a fan of his, but overall he’s suffering from the same problem as every strawhat but Luffy.

But then again being immortalised as a static stoic tough guy is probably the safer route because this what happens when we let Oda cook:

If Oda was still capable of writing like his prime self, Wano Egghead and Elbaf would have all been amazing, 10/10 arcs. But he just doesn't have that sauce anymore.
 
Fair enough. I'm indifferent towards Sasuke, and I severely dislike Zoro and how Oda treats him is outright criminal, so I'm siding with Sasuke nevertheless.
So you're the Chrono of Zoro fans aye.

It criminal how misunderstood Sauske is

It really is true that some folks consider him the best charcter or the most overrated... Damn

Like what would you except for someone who the author treats his entire existence as a Whack a mole of plot twists

From him hating itachi to him realizing his truth.. From being a mere outcast deserter to an actual criminal.. From an avenger to.. The hokage.

Like can you blame him?

I would give credit tho.. Kishimoto made that transition narratively sensible and rational..which is why I think he is misunderstood.

Sauske is not Zoro..

Zoro is simply cool

Sauske is much is just more

Sasuke, if a character is only made to be stoic and bad ass then they should have cool fights to make up for their lack of character, Zoro doesn't have cool fights. His last good fight was against Mr. 1 which was only good because of the narrative not the choreography
 
Sasuke is a good character if you're 12 years old and then you grow out of it. Zoro is someone you wouldn't be embarrassed as an adult to rep.
The worst thing about Zoro is that he just doesn't get attention he used to get Pre Time Skip

Sasuke is literally an imo fucktard whose mind plays gymnastics 24/7

End of Alabasta alone cemented Zoro as better character than Sasuke's entire character arc.
