Not the same circumstance as Cell firing a Kamehameha. There's literally nothing he could do. He couldn't fight Cell, or he'd self destruct and he couldn't fly him away.

Gohan doesn't have to love fighting to have the will to fight Cell, and he's ridiculously naive if he thinks Cell would do anything other than luagh at his desire not to fight.

The biggest truths aren't original. The truth is ketchup. It's Jim Belushi. Its job isn't to blow our minds. It's to be within reach.

Goku still found something to do. Both of them looked hopeless, but Goku found a way. Gohan gave up in both. We, as the viewer, are the ones who know that something can be done, but from Gohan's perspective what is the difference?ABED wrote:Gohan doesn't have to love fighting to have the will to fight Cell, and his ridiculously naive if he thinks Cell would do anything other than luagh at his desire not to fight.

Goku had a technique that Gohan didn't have.
