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.
