I wouldn't say he necessarily lost the upper hand. He lost his invincibility and the two others were able to hit him with two surprise attacks that acutally did damage.

Usually I'd say it's just a minor setback and August will blast them with Fairy Glitter and Crush before they can land more attacks, but with FT being what it currently is, August will probably be either unconscious or incapacitated and on the receiving end of a nakama speech... or have a revelation/reunion moment with his mother.
