He was hesitating to finish off orochimaru as he loved him like a father, He's literally seen crying during the fight cause he didt wanna face his student and orochimaru even points out that he was hesitating

enma at one point even points out that this is not your usual self

Same emotional restraint applied to the two other hokage too

The anbu watching tried to reassure him that they were not real knowing this emotional restraint

and just to note, the intent of this fight was always to have them be as strong as ever

So hiruzen in part 1 even as a emotionally conflicted nerfed old man was able to keep up with the first two hokage who quote had the same mighty strength as always

More evidence of him being constrained
literally asking forgiveness for preparing to seal their souls away

Gets called soft

To hammer the point home more look at how enma attacks
orochimaru, he tries breaking his neck

Where hiruzen tries merely kicking him

That's not even considering
the your old nerfs

And as much as sarutobi says he couldt pull out orochimaru's soul due to old age

it's pretty clearly shown even deep down, he couldt bring himself to hurt the kid he raised as he sees kid orochimaru not tainted by the darkness of death as he passes

This is what hiruzen sees, the young kid he raised

and this is the reality

It's made pretty clear that hiruzen cared alot for him
When his parents died, he was the only one to comfort him

It kinda explains why he's so closed off to naruto, didt wanna get hurt again

This youtube commenter, 100 percent got it right
Hiruzen both was so physically out of his prime and even mentally could not stand to fight his favourite student
how can rando commenters understand the narrative so much better then people who spend years talking about it?

This is a consistent theme for hiruzen's character, He even notes in the war arc
Danzo had to act and do the more shaddy things which hiruzen could not handle doing

Anyways in closing, The orochimaru fight is not a outlier for prime hiruzen as he was emotionally and physically nerfed
We see how well a non mental nerf hiruzen can do in war arc, statemating guruguru who bodied the kages

Your using Anime as proof? Naruto has ended. It is evident that Harshriama is written as the strongest shinobi, thus giving the name of the God of Shinobi. [Chapter 619] The Third Hokage's title was the Professor. A lot of changes have been made since the earlier chapters of Naruto. Nonetheless, no one said they can both hold the title same as both Minato and Tobirama who held the fast shinobi title.
