He could hand the power over to the police, so individual cops get issued a fragment of All Might's power to carry out their duties with.

Ah, who am I kidding, MHM doesn't have any cops.

I could totally see this series ending with Deku being the last One For All user, either by having the quirk get erased in the end, or him just deciding to take it with him to the grave. I'm not saying he's going to die in the end, just maybe him deciding that with All For One defeated once and for all, the world doesn't need to rely on a single symbol of peace anymore.
If One For All became common knowledge, it'd probably inspire a new wave of quirk marriages in order to make the perfect vessel for it. I'm sure that and the more immediate problem of villains hunting Deku for it will preserve the quirk's secrecy. That being said, it'd be an interesting approach for the Villain Alliance to attack Deku with by revealing his power's nature to the public.

If One for All keeps accumulating power it could be possible that it eventually gets too strong for a single person to use effectively

he can teach the next guy but it's not like he can write down a guide book for the super secret quirk he inherited, so eventually you'll get another all might and his successor will probably explode the first time he uses one for all

Deku writes down things about heroes obsessively, so writing a guide book for the super secret quirk he inherited is probably more of a "when" rather than an "if". It's not like he's done a fantastic job of keeping it a secret already given that he all but admitted it to Bakugo.

Nah, it can keep the name, it just now means "One Quirk For All" because they have to give it to more and more people to not explode the next generation of inheritors.

I'm just going to assume that blowing yourself up is only a problem for people who genuinely do want to be a hero more than they want all their limbs, like Izuku.

I mean, that sort of attitude is why Midoriya was picked as the successor in the first place. You can't really entrust the ultimate single quirk to anyone who isn't selfless to a fault or you end up with another All For One.

Gentle is going to get pushed to the extreme and announce that he's gonna smash that life button

La Brava will stop him because they aren't subscribed to that life style and Gentle will come to his senses and turn himself in meaning Deku won't have to follow them anymore.

Given that all quirks are getting exponentially stronger, I'm sure it's just a matter of time until everyone is just blowing up the first time they use a quirk.

He has been learning to avoid destroying himself since he figured out full cowl. The Overhaul fight notwithstanding (as it was a very unique case of "hey you can literally go all out with no consequences") Deku's not been blowing himself up lately since he's learned that treating every fight as a life or death situation just means you're dead and useless sooner.

That said he does still play with that line a lot still. So I wouldn't be surprised if he pushes a bit too far thinking that his new equipment can handle one more shot and being wrong.

He learnt full cowl then blew himself up against Muscular in his very next big solo fight. Then he fought Bakugou where he didn’t destroy himself (good job Deku), only to be put into a situation in his next big fight where he was forced to destroy his body several times.

In basically all of Dekus major fights throughout the series he blows his own body up. It’s what he does.

I mean, he looks like he's literally made of bombs. There isn't a lot of ambiguity there; while his appearance might be unrelated to his quirk (like Tokoyami's is, except with bombs instead of a bird), it's probably not something he wants to test.

Yes exactly. Most fights Deku's been in he realises everything he's learnt isn't good enough and he resorts to blowing himself up. The end result being he keeps shattering all his bones on the reg and really needs to learn something new, except the last few times he's learnt something new to keep from killing himself he continues to do so.

Like I guess it's not his fault Full Cowl hasn't been good enough but if in fights against actual villains Deku continues to consistently resort to bone mulching maybe he needs to calm down about ruining himself or find a new approach. Which these gadgets might be! But i'm not super confident since the approach of "kicking not punching" didn't really solve the problem an arc ago and it had a similar setup.

Quirks are passed down and get stronger with age, so I can imagine two possibilities:

1) Either parent used their quirk, they're not in this world anymore.
2) His quirk started relatively weak, like...I dunno, creating fireworks by hurting himself, and he realized where that kind of power would end up.

I mean, what it basically comes down to is that the comic keeps flirting with the idea that suicidally throwing your body into the mulcher to help people is bad, but it keeps being seduced by the siren song of "I'm going to give 120% this time!" and coming back to it even though it shouldn't.

Wait, what about the part where they helped Bakugo escape from the villains, doesn't that count? I mean, even if it's not Deku's fight, it's still A fight. All Might even said he was so proud of Deku for getting out of that situation without getting hurt.

Deku jumped up a ramp. That's what he did for that "fight". Deku can be smart and not kill himself unless he's involved in a punch em up, especially a solo punch em up, where he keeps breaking his body.

And he was about to get himself killed anyway until Iida stopped him.

Has the comic had a single fight where Deku gets a clean win, using his own skills and abilities without wrecking himself or getting in administrative trouble afterward? If he doesn't get one soon, then just hold off until the end, and let him be the most broken hero around.

But at the very least, he should be getting less beat up as the story goes, to at least give some idea that he's improving.

He is getting less beat up, though. Ignoring the use of Eri's Quirk as a loophole, he hasn't injured himself since the Muscular fight, and he hasn't injured himself outside of life-or-death situations since he learned Full Cowl.

You're right that he hasn't really gotten a clean win, though.

What are you talking about, it's one of the few superhero stories where the role of cops is explicitly acknowledged.

The duty of fighting villains is given to the heroes, and conversely heroes are not allowed to do other things by themselves. When they were raiding the hideouts, for example, they had cops with them.
