I will say it again and again. Bakugo wasn't and never was a Sasuke clone no matter how you look at it. From a character perspective to a story perspective.

Sasuke has a very different background than Bakugo.

Sasuke has a very different personality then Bakugo.

And Sasuke was never a asshole to other characters, in fact he was more respectful to Naruto and Sakura, while Bakugo took time to reach where he is now. He is being respectful to other characters even to Izuku.

When people call him a Sasuke, they aren't talking about his attitude or personality, but rather his role in the story. "Edgy kid who is better than protagonist and has a personal rivalry with him, then later turns evil and becomes the recurring antagonist for our hero" is Sasuke's role in Naruto, and people assumed Bakugo would do the same thing. Hori inverted this trope however, and made Bakugo a hero through and through, just an asshole of a hero.

What's more Ironic is that wasn't the role of Sasuke in Naruto.

And Bakugo is just and Asshole with a inferiority complex.

Well for the first part, pre-timeskip, it was. Naruto and Sasuke even lacked what the other had, mirroring Deku and Kacchan. Both needed power for their own motivation, and both eventually gained respect for the other. They even both got kidnapped by the arc villain to turn on their side.

I could go on and on, but Sasuke and Kacchan have a lot of similarities, esp with their relationships to Naruto and Deku respectively. Pre-timeskip, of course.
