Bakougo dying would be absolutely insane and I kinda want it to happen just for the sheer balls of killing off the most popular character. Especially after finally acting like a true hero.

And yes it's definitely not gonna happen but just thinking about how the fandom would react to that make me laugh.

More interesting option - Deku dies after passing the power to Bakugou (who becomes the new protagonist) and lives on inside Bakugou's head like the other OfA holders.

Yeah, that's not an interesting option at all and it'd be transparently a decision made by popularity polls.

Yeah that's dumb, everyone knows Deku will give OfA to Mina when he dies, making her the new main character.

That would probably oversaturate the character at best, but at worst it ends up undermining the dynamic between those two characters. I can't see it happening.

Living the Dream
Provided the interview with Horikoshi about Heroes Rising was right and the end of the story originally had an element where Midoriya passed on/shared All For One with Bakugou for a combo attack I wonder if the whole thing was originally the vehicle for the "true apology" Horikoshi mentioned that Bakugou still needed to give Midoriya.

The manga starts with Deku describing all of this in past tense and saying this is the story how he became the worlds greatest hero. Deku ain't going anywhere.

I honestly don't think this is a very fair comparison. One Piece has a very solid, concrete goal: find the one piece at the end of the grand line. If Luffy isn't near the end of the grand line, or isn't at the one piece, then the series probably isn't ending.

MHA, meanwhile, has a much more nebulous final goal: Deku becomes a great hero, and presumably AFO and/or Shiggy are beaten. Deku fighting Shiggy could easily be the end point for both of those ultimate goals - he beats AFO, and in doing so beats the one villain that even the number 1 hero couldn't, thus making him be widely considered a great hero. There are also other, smaller goals / chekhov's guns set up that need paying off such as the other OFA quirks, the traitor, etc, but those aren't necessarily mandatory to finish the story. They could, in theory, be wrapped up or handwaved away if this was the end of the series. It would be lovely rushed writing, but with shonen jump rushed endings aren't uncommon.

I don't think this is actually the end of the series cus yeah it's still wildly popular, but I also find it very easy to think this is the end.

i mean but by this same token, do you REALLY think the story that starts with deku saying "this is the story of how i became the greatest hero" ends with him going into a berserker, uncontrollable rage as a result of him holding shigaraki mid air hitting him with his crippled quasi arms over and over until endeavor virtually exploded on him leaving a charred husk? that was the birth of the greatest hero?

basically, we're pretty far from one piece.

The story comes to an end with the narration cutting to Bakugo saying "at least, that's probably how the nerd would tell it."

Don't pretend Tokoyami taking over the show wouldn't be great.

Also, even as a big fan of Bakugo, I'd be okay with him dying if it prevents him from the fate of just being a parallel for Endeavor. Anything to shake up the status quo would be nice at this point.

Even worse is that they actually showed off Hagakure and Aoyama doing just that after all the kids got back from their internships just before this War arc.

Tokiyami with OfA will evolve like a Digimon. First it's Pride from FMA:Brotherhood, then it's a shadow version of Obelisk the Tormentor and then finally it envelopes the world in shadow allowing him to wield his full power at all times.
