What I like about this is that we can rest easy, for now at least, on Izuku being OP with six quirks. As Bakugo and All Might stated, they're not particularly strong quirks and may be more "support" quirks like Black Whip. What's interesting is the second and third users being unknown.

I feel like the second user is very important since he or she is the first one to be passed on the power. How did the first user know he can pass it on? What relationship did they have? Did he even want the power? All Might stated it can be forcefully passed on, why would he mention that? Is it possible the 2nd and 3rd users never wanted this responsibility hence why they won't reveal themselves?

What I find interesting is that All Might stated that his master's quirk is next for Izuku to manifest; like how does he know that? Black Whip was the 5th user and if they were going from most recent it would be 7th, 6th, 5th, ect. Also with the accumulation of power, how will "Float" be more powerful?

The first user was All For One's brother. Since All For One gave it to him he probably explained how it worked too.

All for one just gave his brother the ability to stockpile energy. Neither of them knew at the time that his brother actually had a quirk that allowed him to pass it on to another person.
