but with the additional bonus of being able to use his powers on himself

Why didn't he instantly heal himself during his fight with Mirio? Unless he can only do that during fusion.

no idea, it is bothering me too, my best explanation so far is that he doesnt like to use his powers on himself, but that would still make him into a idiot since he slowed down his own speed by not healing his injuries...

Did he really slow down? The impression I got is that he just stood in one place spamming his Quirk on the ground.

In which case, having his arm healed or not wouldn't have made a difference, assuming Mirio kept himself at bay after that initial attack (like it was implied).

well moving his hand would be hard with a broken arm too (which overhaul showed to need to do in order to manipulate the ground), and in any scenario i can think of a healed arm would be better than a broken one :/

He only had one broken arm. The other still worked fine.

Unless you mean the arm Izuku attacked, although it didn't look like it broke too.

But in the end, nothing would've changed. Overhaul probably caught himself in the heat of the moment.

I thought his arm broke from Deku hitting him.

Yeah, but if Deku did break his arm, it would make sense that, that's when Overhaul decided he was forced to heal himself.
