I would say that Reinhardt's mana-disrupting ability doesn't explain his own immunity against the hypnosis, and also isn't the basis for why he snaps others out of it by touching. It's something else.

But yeah, I'll agree that there's not enough information for us to make sense of everything and the timing as it stands is inconsistent. To me, most hypnosis stuff comes down to willpower, which gets written into the "whatever goes" power scaling.
This is what I thought, too. The effect of the gospel is not just mere magic, it's something different, but somehow Reinhard is immune to it. Therefore I think Subaru should try to find out why and if he can be immune, too.

Btw. something completely different and unimportant, but: After seeing Subaru's training parcour, I wondered whether Subaru can actually grow as strong as Reinhard or Wilhelm, or at least somewhat superhumanly powerful physically OR if his body is bound to the laws of his original world. Like, can he train enough to jump 5 meters high or is that simply impossible for someone from our real world? Would love to find that out.
