History TearJerker / ShinyaHashimoto

** Masahiro Chono only could meet Hashimoto's family and send his dues before having to leave as well.

** Tatsuhito Takaiwa was even more heartbroken, as he had been one of the NJPW wrestlers who had followed Hashimoto to ZERO-ONE and had even asked to face him in a match upon winning the Tenkaichi 2004 (it's stipulated that the winner of said tournament can ask a wish under the terms of puroresu).
** Another loyalist, Wrestling/ShinjiroOtani was crushed by the fact that his friendship with Hashimoto had become strained since the original ZERO-ONE folded, as it meant he couldn't be there for him before his death, or even be one of his pallbearers.
** Even MIKAMI, a junior heavyweight who never worked with Shinya, wrote a heartfelt necrology and stated that when he was a kid and Hashimoto's aura left him in awe every time he saw him.

** Yoshihiro Takayama, who had had cerebral problems as well over the years and had beaten death a couple of times, lamented that Hashimoto could not do the same and that his desired singles match against Shinya would never be realized.

* The comments of many wrestlers after his death. Friends and enemies, from NJPW and AJPW, NOAH and PRIDE, major and indies, all of them felt the loss. Kazuyuki Fujita was shocked upon hearing that his big brother mentor had gone; Keiji Muto had to leave after hearing the news due to sheer shock; Chono only had strength to meet Hashimoto's family and present his respect before similarly leaving; Seiji Sakaguchi broke down and recalled how Hashimoto's wedding was the happiest day in his own life; and Naoya Ogawa, characteristically, couldn't believe that his best friend was dead and admittedly intended to storm Hashimoto's house pleading for someone tell him it was a lie.

* Shinya's death.
** After being told about his death, Naoya Ogawa couldn’t believe that his best friend was dead, and supposedly wanted to storm Hashimoto's house pleading for someone tell him it was a lie. Later Ogawa said that despite having built his own career over Hashimoto's, he enjoyed more his partnership with him than all his individual trajectory, and swore that the rest of it would be dedicated to the memory of his friend.
*** Years after, Ogawa implied that the reason he didn't wrestle in Wrestling/ProWrestlingZERO1 again is Hashimoto's absence from the promotion they built together.
