Probably because All Might told him not too and he respects him too much to go against his wishes. Plus, the less people that know means it's less likely that the secret gets out.

It isn't clear how many of the faculty know, but we know that at least the principal and Recovery Girl know about the transference of the quirk. Eraser and some of the other faculty also at least were aware that All Might was on his last legs as well. Several of them at least have suspicions about All Might and Deku. Some of the students are also aware that All Might and Deku have some sort of relationship. So there's varying levels of knowledge of what's going on, ranging from being in the know to having a suspicion that something is up. Though I'm sure several people probably think they're related somehow.

Yeah it's much better to not tell anyone so the only people that can help with the unknowable and infinite power you have inside yourself are: A) You idol the world's worst teacher B) HIS backup teacher an old man pretending to be senile half the time C) You we're love/hate best fremeny who can all shout and blow things up. Kids if you get super powers tell your parents.

Rhonne posted:If Funky Jack here is really based off Hellboy as people say, then I expect Deku to get some kind of giant fist based power up. Like, that black lightning forms around his hand and turns into some kind of energy fist or demon hand or something so he can punch people again without ruining his arm. If this happens, I expect people to compare that to Naruto and his tail-forms or, god forbid, Sasuke and his chakra armor thing.

I'm a little apprehensive about the protagonist receiving yet another powerup when at 20% he was already strong enough to overwhelm mid-tier villains with relative ease.

Gentle and LaBrava combined were capable of taking out a group of heroes who would have had to have passed the hero licencing test and had initiated the confrontation (meaning they were at their maximum readiness to fight). He wasn't a minor threat.

Yeah, but Deku isn't gearing up to take on a mid-tier threat. He's gearing up to take on all of them. Shigaraki is never gonna let Deku 1v1 one of his crew again.

Yeah, but by that same token I think Horikoshi is really gearing up to push hero teams as a thing to contrast against the whole All Might / Endeavor working on their own. In fact that's pretty much exactly what this arc has been about, about how these hero students are trying to work as teams instead of individuals. Deku getting another powerup makes everyone else pale in comparison, and I think it'd also be kind of weird if it ended up being something like "Deku is extra strong now but needs Ochaco and Shinso as sidekicks to properly control his power" since the obvious endgame there is "Deku learns to properly control his power on his own".

PMush Perfect posted:Not if we reach the "One for All is becoming too much for one person" endgame that people have predicted. Hell, maybe the singularity already passed a long time ago and the only reason All Might didn't explode is because he's such an idiot savant that he could tap into one power and be completely oblivious to the rest of it. A reverse Korra, as a comparison that makes sense to a dozen people in here.

He wasn't a minor threat. The children have repeatedly been show to handle threats that low rank street walking pro-heroes haven't been able to. There's been a lot of real no-hopers as low rank heroes. To the point that the top 3 students at prestigeous UA were repeatedly touted as "Better than a lot of pros already". Taking out a group of nobodies doesn't make Gentle a threat to Deku in any real way. For evidence see: Deku trouncing Gentle even with his big secret ace in the hole move.

Someone who, with no powers, protecting an injured girl, and still recovering from getting shot, lasted five minutes against one of the most broken quirks in the series. Mirio was and still is Some Bullshit.
