-In June 2023, Omuatsu and {{Sm|Umeki}} had a negative interaction at a smash tournament, which resulted in members of Omuatsu's sub discord starting a harassment campaign against the latter. The campaign included harassment over Umeki's Daisy cosplay and depression, [https://twitter.com/Umeki_Daisy/status/1680026152864460800 as well as death threats]. As a result of the campaign, Umeki DQd from a tournament that he signed up for that week of, and it was revealed that Omuatsu didn't stop the campaign [https://twitter.com/Stuart98SSB/status/1688234334078242816].
+Ultimately, Omuatsu apologized to Umeki and has since left the ''Smash'' scene, effectively retiring from competitive play.
-Omuatsu would receive major backlash from the Japanese Smash Community and would lose both of his sponsors. He would finally apologize and voluntarily leave the smash scene as a result of the controversy.
