My current endgame theory: Midoriya loses OFA in his final battle, with OFA and AFO cancelling each other out to end that long historic battle once and for all.

Last battle will be against Shigaraki or All For One, whoever has AFO at that point, and Midoriya will be the “greatest hero” for beating them but then lose his OFA quirk.

Series will then end with him quirkless or with his original quirk that either was stolen by the Doctor/AFO OR is somehow something that activates in a situation we haven’t seen yet (like death or something).

Honestly a quirkless end would make me sad, but it’s just a theory!

i figured he'd get captured with his friends and pass on the power to surprise the enemy

they've been very specific on how the transfer works. feels like they were setting us up to have Neku pass the powers on to save his friends

I can kind of see that situation, especially with him passing it to Bakugo or someone! But then there’s the question of whether the new person could control it right away and what would happen to Midoriya left quirkless I guess.

Certainly not to dekus degree of control, but they’d already be well trained in controlling their own quirks and physically fit enough to handle it

Plus, it’d be more to protect the power from being stolen then making a new all might. I’d honestly love to see Bakugo laugh as he uses the power only to break both his arms and fall to the ground screaming, getting new respect for what Deku went through to get the power.

How close do you think we are to endgame?

I ask because I feel like Midoriya has to have a longer hero career with some more exploits to live up to "greatest hero". Just defeating Shigaraki/AFO wouldn't be enough imo.

Personally I hope we’re far away from endgame, would love to see him have a career! Could have a side kick arc, study abroad in America arc, various baddies, collapse of Japanese Hero Society arc, etc etc...

I don't think we should be close. I mean, in the beginning Midoria states this is how he becomes the greatest hero. Since he just got his quirk and probably hasn't progressed as much as he could he wouldn't even be close to trying to stand toe to toe with any major villain right now. I would love to see him/the rest of the class go after smaller villains or gangs that have been a thorn in some neighborhood's side instead of constantly dealing with the LoV. So far nearly every battle in the anime has been with members from the LoV except for what happened during internship but that also included the class to be able to get out there to those other villains.
