I am a huge fan of Tochinoshin, but I am not very upset by this loss. I think it is just a slip that my happen to anyone and it doesn't spoil my impression of his excellent shape this tournament. Besides, he remains in the lead position with Kakuryu and Asanoyama. I think he is capable of winning this tournament and I am more than sure that he will recover his Ozeki title.
