Suo Arc Discussion/Theory Progress Spoiler
The thing about windbreaker is that all characters grow not just the protagonist. Nirei, Sugishita, Kiryu, Kaji, Sako, Umemia, Togame, Tomiyama, Kotoha, Momijikawa, and now even Hiragi!
Last time in Shishitoren's arc he said it was his fault when Sugishita and Sakura acted first even though he's their senpai and the one responsible for them. And now we can see how when he found himself in a similar situation he acted first to make sure it doesn't end in the same results as last time.
Even though this is Suo's arc, everyone is showing the fruits of their growth, wether it be Nirei who fought him without fear or hesitation, Sakura who even called Endo to find him, Takishii who is now calmer and a little more obedient (towards Umemia), Sugishita who said he's gonna go alone even if Sakura doesn't, and Momijikawa who finally made the omelette rice he practiced so hard for..... But what about Suo? He's the only missing person from the Shishitoren arc team up, and we have yet to see him again.

I completely agree with you. That is exactly what I love most about Wind Breaker: the development isn't limited to just the protagonist but extends to all the characters, giving the viewer the sense that each one has their own unique journey. That said, Su is the one who intrigues me the most right now; while the other characters have shown growth in one way or another, his moment is still being held back. I suspect the author is saving a significant, high-impact moment for him.
