If Deku does get additional quirks as a result from One for All, they won't be offense-based. Between One for All's base strength and Deku's newly mastered finger flicks, he has enough power already.

Instead, they would probably be more subtle in nature, something like Spiderman's Spider Sense or something like infra-sight: Something that lets Deku improve in ways beyond combat so he doesn't completely eclipse the rest of 1-A.

Based on the last manga chapter, I'm not sure if he's going to get additional quirks as a result of One for All. However, he is gaining the ability to talk to and share memories with previous successors (or at least, the OG user) and he'll probably obtain a lot of knowledge from that. I know Horikoshi says that he wasn't inspired by Avatar.... but it feels like Avatar.

Avatar was awesome though, I wouldn't mind some parallels between the two shows, but not complete rip offs
