The enemy of my enemy is my enemy.
Ochaku's outfit is already pretty skimpy, she's in the same vein as Mt. Lady and Midnight where it's full cover but form fitting.

There's dozens of ways this particular thing could go but if past experiences are anything to go by Horikoshi is both going to follow expectations and subvert them entirely (prime example: the Hot Springs gag.)

I don't know how you think ochako getting jealous in any way progresses the romance. If anything that sets it up for standard shonen romantic stasis blueballs for hundreds of chapters, especially if Mei shows interest too.

Granted I give horikoshi a lot more credit and benefit of the doubt than other mangaka, but it's still a shonen and those...do not have a good romance track record

If it was any lesser manga I'd agree with you but Horikoshi has continually knocked it out of the park so I don't see any reason for him to stop now. Like she might not confess next chapter but I get the feeling this is gonna lead to some kind of breakthrough

Why is everyone assume she will fall in love with Deku. I have not gotten that vibe at all.

If she crushes on anyone, it's the dude with engines in his legs. That's got to be all kinds of sexy mad science to her.

The most obvious uniform upgrade is for Ochako to add small thrusters to her armor. It's a very easy way for her to have mobility while weightless, and wouldn't need to use much fuel at all since, well, she'd be weightless.

I can't really think of how technology would help Deku, though it's obvious they'll figure something out. It seems like his power tears his arms up from the inside, so merely absorbing shock wouldn't help much unless he's applying his force to something.

They should just replace Deku's skeleton with adamantium.

edit: Honestly, a completely reasonable thing for Deku (that I'm pretty sure won't happen) is to give him some kind of melee weapon. He can safely use enough OfA to become at least several times as strong as a normal human, so he should be capable of wielding something much heavier and stronger than a normal person.

Deku needs a pile bunker.

And Ochako definitely needs SAS and RCS systems built into her suit.

Ochako definitely needs thrusters, maybe combo it with an incredibly hard helmet so she just rockets head first into enemies.

The most obvious tech for Deku is some sort of power limiter, helping him not blow up his everything. If he does want to differ form All Might though, using a weapon would do that. It'd have to be something that's effective both normally and when using super Strength though, maybe something as simple as throwing stuff like shurikens/marbles at insane speeds?

He doesn't break his arms just by using one for all it's that his body can't handle the recoil from hitting things with that much force.

That sort of makes me wonder why Bakugou's explosions don't obliterate him with recoil too, but I'm pretty sure the answer is simply "Because Quirks."

It is a matter of scale. Bakugou's explosions are powerful, but compared to what One for all at full strength can do, they are nothing.

I dunno, some of the explosions that he produced during the Sports Festival and the End of Term Exam probably should've broken his arm at least if they followed the same rules as OfA.

the thing with one for all breaking deku's bones is because it's a quirk he acquired late in life, rather than something he was born with

he didn't get how to use it safely, so he didn't; that led to him hurting himself. bakugou has years of practice on deku

rather than getting some power gloves or whatever i think what deku needs is a weapon, like a staff. something that lets him use his super strength without directly risking his body and maybe gives him some additional range. if mei can make something that's sturdy enough to withstand One For All-enhanced swings without shattering, that is.

If that's the case then my "throw or flick marbles at foes" ideas is starting to add up. I know he wrecked his fingers early with a flick, and wrecked his arm doing his version of a DETROIT SMASH, so just hitting the air can harm him. Maybe he hits or propels a material that can absorb an disperse a large amount of force? Basically turning extra absorbent ballistic gel into gel projectiles? All Might definitely didn't do anything that goofy, and I want the greatest hero of all time to have gotten his start using super-strength to basically throw goo-nets at people.

The enemy of my enemy is my enemy.
Deku has a lot of toughening up to do that can't be accelerated. With Bakugo, he's had a ton of years for his hands to get explosion/napalm resistant and for his body to adapt to the force it can bring to bear.

Equipment wise there's only three things that can actually help Deku though: a limiter (obvious,) a shock absorber (like a limiter but can also be tied to other things,) or an energy converter (kinetic to electricity, super lightning smash, super tornado smash, etc.)

Deku copying Bakugo's fighting style has been a running theme throughout, so I predict he gets equipped a shock absorber that safely stores excessive, potentially harmful kinetic energy and allows him to release it as a shockwave

Everything except the teasing is what sells the crush. Her getting flustered about it sells that she doesn't want anyone to know about it.

Deku is gonna want to learn how to wrestle and grapple and he asks Ochako for help and she's like "wow um ok" and then they train for a bit and then she confesses to him and he's like "wow I like you too" and so they start going out

This is my theory.

That's a good theory, but she should trivially beat him at wrestling first.

Also her equipment upgrade should be a gun with the handle filed down so she can hold a knife at the same time.

Weighted training clothes then? Then when the fighting gets serious he can throw his purple turban to the ground and amaze everyone at how high his power level gets.
