The JSA acknowledged his request and announced he was no longer a member later that same day.

On July 20, 2023, Hashimoto was arrested a third time, this time for suspicion of attempted murder after breaking into the house where his ex-wife was staying and trying to kill her and her father with hoe-like weapon.
