It was a story where the entire second act didn't work for me, because there was no surprise or tension.
That's the "show, don't tell" rule though. I don't think Koutarou or Miku saying "I took my loved one for granted" would add anything to the plot that wasn't already heavily implied.

It was trying to evoke similar feelings from the Den-O TV series, but that just reinforced for me how hollow and repetitive the movie's story was. It missed trying to warp or twist any of those beats in a clever way, instead leaning into the trope of People Being Jerks To Teach A Lesson, which always comes off as unimaginative and lazy to me.
That's a fair criticism and I'm not going to deny that the moral was totally unoriginal and borrowed from several other Den-O plots. Even if it was deliberate, I get that it's not the most compelling premise. So maybe you were looking for something more unique to Koutarou's own flavor of Den-O, to make him distinct from Ryoutarou as a hero, rather than seeing him go through basically the same story we've already seen?

Synopsis: Future Sakurai Wakes Up from the dead as a Neo Fangire and everybody starts forgetting about Yuto's existence again. Suddenly, a white Rider appears, demanding Sakurai's button!

Maybe you should consider skipping that one?
