Neither am I liking Yidhishtir's dialogue delivery
He is not sounding strong . Not sounding like a chakravarti samrat
Yudi was always peace loving, serene, calm, In fact some versions say he was hesitant to do the Rajsuya because he was quite satisfied with IP. Thus, it was the Blue One who had to send Narad to him and say you father's spirit wishes that you perform Rajsuya; even then Yudi was not totally convinced and so the Avatar had to come to Yudi and tell him how he must be the Samrat because India was in need of an emperor as just and as dharma following as him.
Finally, then did Yudi agree to do the yagya.
So Yudi being all calm, nice, not harsh, un-samrat like does not surprise me AT ALL
regardless of being the Samrat, Yudi's biggest problem was that he was a VERY NICE guy; to a fault. and THAT is what was taken advantage of to the fullest extent.
and THAT is why despite staking his brothers and his beloved "most beautiful woman in the world-esque" queen, he could meditate and pray and be absolved of sin because he Lord knew that he was basically a good, trusting, nice, guy. Not the shades of grey guy he was made out to be.
He did not save DPadi that day and THAT was his BIGGEST mistake.
P.S. This is my interpretation of Yudi from the versions of the MB I have read;
