I wouldn't mind seeing Warren Ellis tackle Ninja Gaiden. His work on Moon Knight and Karnak reminds me of how Ryu should be handled.
I think NG3 was going for a more reflective and sincere vibe that the games hadn't earned. Mostly because the Itagaki era didn't really care about storytelling.
So maybe something similar like a Buddy cop comedy between Ryu and another character would've worked better. You gotta crawl before you could run.
Bringing over the DOA cast would've been perfect. They have more bombastic personalities and they would play off Ryu's restrainted demeanor well. Plus just making the DOATeC company a front for the Lords of Alchemy is potentially interesting.
Bring back Eric Roberts as Donavan and just let him work his magic.
If you wanna keep the introspective character work, just swap Ryu for Kasumi. She is a more reluctant fighter so forcing her to kill to save the world is a more interesting plot.
Hayate also works.
