See, here's the issue thoPeople out here waiting for the 5th season of MHA, yet I'm out here waiting for One for All itself to roast Midoriya into next week. The 5th user of One for All gonna be like this:
Like, Midoriya. Deadass, stop trying to break your bones every chapter. Against Shigaraki? Understandable, however. Literally maiming yourself on live television for the sake of forcing someone to use their full power so you can lose, and then further risking injury by forcing your body to go after Shigaraki despite knowing full damn well you're ass would be grass if he came after you again... In the words of Shoto Aizawa, that is Irrational.
And here we are wondering why U.A isn't attempting to teach Midoriya the importance of self-preservation.
OFA ENABLES this behavior from Midoriya. It is because he is irrational and breaks all his bones for no reason and nearly dies all the time that OFA stays with him. It ******* loves Midoriya for acting this way, like a "true hero." The predecessors will definitely chastise him for losing control of his emotions and going into a rage, as well as not beating AFO in the end, but on the whole, I doubt they will want him to change his behavior. Do they want him to master the power so he can do what he just did safely? Yes, but him willing to do it when he doesn't have control isn't exactly a deterrent for the quirk. They need someone with such a ridiculous high, near suicidal urge to do good in order to complete the quirk and end AFO.
That's why OFA is probably the stupidest, most ridiculous quirk Midoriya could ever have. He's a perfect fit for it in the best and worst ways possible, and the only person that could even potentially get him to calm down is himself or the users inside going against their main purpose to care for his health.
The worst part of all of this is that him breaking his bones has yet to truly fail him when he needs it. He obliterated Muscular, he beat Overhaul to a pulp the second he was free of consequence, Nine got his ass handed to him on a platter, and he beat the fear of god into Shigaraki while remaining untouched and controlling 3 quirks for the first time ever. When Deku goes all out, it works for his goal, so all he sees is that he needs to last longer. His body is the only thing holding him back.
Its not that no one teaches him self-preservation. Its that, when things are bad, he will never not see a reason to go all out and risk himself. Killing Shigaraki is essentially his life's goal right now, so he likely sees no issues whatsoever with what he did.
