I don't really love plotting out better/more appealing stories. I try to keep criticisms to the material, and where I think the material goes astray. I don't... I'm not a fanfic guy. There's what happened, and it's either good or bad. I liked it or I didn't.

That said, I think you can do a story where Tsukasa brings in his friends on his plan, and it still ends up with Natsumi having to physically stop Tsukasa. Looking at how conflicted and betrayed Onodera is in the movie, that's the template for how you include the regular cast for Decade's plan: they hear out Tsukasa's plan, they're all onboard with the ugly necessity of it, and it eventually becomes something that Tsukasa starts feeding off of. Something where we see the shift from Decade to Violent Emotion, and Natsumi realizes that she has to do something about it. (Onodera wouldn't because he'd just lose, and it's not like Kaitou would ever just shoot Tsukasa in the face or anything stupid like that.) There's plenty of scaffolding in place for that story, if the production team had felt like using it.
