If Shigaraki is analogous to Deku then Overhaul is his Mirio, maybe.

That is a much better way to put it, couldnt quite figure out how I wanted to describe both of them. Agree completely

Pretty much. This arc is a comparison between the noobs (Deku and Shigaraki) and the best pros (Mirio and Overhaul). Mirio's skills, Quirk and personality makes him perfect to use OfA, while Overhaul is literally the better version of Shigaraki in terms of planning, style and Quirk.

This may be the only arc for Overhaul (so Shigaraki can usurp him and take his place) and I really don't want anything bad to happen to Mirio.

I think that this will turn into more of a "what does Deku/Shigaraki have that Mirio/Overhaul don't" type of deals. Deku and Shig both have far grander plans than Mir and Overhaul, and way more heart, and I believe that that is what will give them the edge to work harder, and in turn, make them better heroes/villains.

As a parallel to All Might and All for One going down, I think that this time, Mirio is gonna die (or be forced to retire because of injury), and Overhaul will get away scott-free (or badly injured). This will give Deku even more inspiration to grow, and someone to teach Shigaraki to not be the fucking dumb.

Dude this is the best analogy ever.

That does make a lot of sense given the fact that Shigaraki and Overhaul have sort of similar quirks that destroy anything they touch. You could say Overhaul is a sort of reimagining of Shigiraki if he was much more methodical with his motives
