Is it safe to eat sushi with different toppings (cooked and raw) after 24h? [duplicate]

I have been reading posts in the internet, but it just made me more confused. My conclysions after reading several posts of different websites:

Some say that sushi (the rice) with sashimi (raw fish) should be safe, but the cooked food shouldn't (this fact shocked me a little bit as I would expect the opposite).
Others say completely the opposite, as I was expecting. Even like 16h after storing it in the fridge, if it has sashimi (raw fish) it should be thrown (depending on the freshness of the fish. If you ordered it, its impossible to know).

Context:

I went at a friend's place yesterday at about 22:00. We chilled (using this verb in the cooking exchange just sounds weird, sorry) for a few hours and then I went home, not without taking the enormous sushi tray that was leftovers from a few hours before I went there.

Some info:

The sushi tray was on the table, not in the fridge. So my friends probably ate and then went to the living room without putting it inside the fridge. Let's say 5h passed.
When I got home, I immediately stored it inside the fridge.
Some sushi has raw fish (sashimi), some has cooked stuff (like japanese omelette) and I think there are some vegetarian or vegan ones.

What matters is time in the Danger Zone. If your sashimi heated up to room temperature it should certainly not be consumed: for instance E. Coli doubles in between 15 minutes and 1 hour in warm conditions. (Sushi on the same tray is likely to get cross contamination.) Chilling it later does not help: the bacteria have already grown.

A very cautious recommendation is that any food that has spent more than 2 hours above 4C should not be consumed. This is particularly important for raw fish and meat that will be contaminated with bacteria.

Can I eat cooked sushi the next day?

Even if it is cooked, you should not eat the sushi more than three days after it was prepared because the quality deteriorates as the moisture is lost. Also, the taste is not going to be as good as when you first had it. You will know that the sushi needs to be tossed out just based on its smell.

Can you eat leftover sushi 2 days later?

Raw sushi can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 hours and in the fridge for 1\u20132 days, but cooked sushi can be stored for 3\u20134 days in the fridge.

Can you get food poisoning from day old sushi?

If your sushi has raw fish, it should be consumed within 24 hours. Consuming raw, fresh food may increase your risk of food poisoning, which can cause nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps, and diarrhea.

Can sushi cross contamination?

Cross-contamination is another risk associated with eating sushi. Cross-contamination occurs when the people working in restaurant kitchens use the same tools to prepare cooked and uncooked fish. People who order cooked fish may get sick due to bacteria and pathogens that have transferred to their meal from raw fish.
