It made sense for Gohan to not call Goku out there. Gohan willingly put his life in danger before and after that. .
That's true, but I'd imagine the cell games was the worst thing goku ever did to him (not intentionally ) and he didn't care (which is in character for Gohan), so if the worst thing Goku ever did to him, didn't cause any anger, this probably won't either. I personally would love for Goku to get called out, but who could?

Edit: The fact that Gohan likes Piccolo at all proves that he is a saint that can't get very mad at anyone who isn't blatantly evil.

I think Gohan would care more about this because it puts Pan in danger. When someone does something bad to Gohan he doesn't care half as much as when someone does something bad to his loved ones. I don't think he's going to call Goku out for it though. I don't think Gohan's ever done that to someone he likes off the top of my head. Beerus almost definitely will. Maybe Piccolo and Vegeta ?

I made a bet with Alee9977 that Vegeta won't be beaten quickly by an opponent. If I lose, I switch my avatar to Vegeta getting beat by hit. If I win, he switches it to Vegeta holding Black by his hair. This will last a month.

If Gohan didn't punch Goku's teeth out after F where he moronically lets Freeza go (after stating Freeza would've killed him for sure if he mastered Golden) he's not gonna care now when it would be equally justified.
When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

I think Vegeta will point it out, but not have the biggest reaction due to the fact that he's done basically the same thing, except knowingly.

Like I said, I don't think Gohan would ever have that drama with someone he likes. Even in this case. Although I think this case is even worse even if we assume that Gohan heard that line because it puts pans life in immediate danger, destruction of massive amounts of life is guaranteed, and no Whis or Beerus to save them.

Also I don't think Vegeta would care Kanassa. Vegeta doesn't seem like the type to worry about being a hypocrite and at least he can say that hes changed.

Still, family can fight and argue, it seems really weird that Gohan is just as emotionally stunted in many areas like his dad is but he's supposed to be more intelligent. I know emotional intellect and general intellect can be mutually exclusive, but I feel like he shouldn't be okay with Goku just letting Freeza go which chain reacts into Gohan's wife, daughter, mom, brother and dad-in-law dying. Even with Whis reversing things, in the long term this shouldn't get handwaved away.

Yeah, but to be fair no one else said anything either. It could be a variety of things like they might be too irrelevant, the characters might respect Goku too much, they don't want Goku to look bad, or they think something like that's too serious for Dragonball. I don't know tbh.

Goku had won the fight at this point and then had a dirty tricked used on him, yeah its Gokus fault for letting his guard down, but in the end its not like Goku sat there and let Freeza blow up earth on purpose, besides it was undone and Goku did Kill freeza.

Hit agreed it wouldn't work and didn't try to use it to avoid Goku's Kamehameha. If Hit could have simply froze Goku in that moment to avoid impact, why didn't he? He sure in hell used it during the tourument to avoid the Kamehameha.
Because probably he cant use tokitobashi and his dimension abilities at the same time(He was focusing on not letting his dimension portal being destroyed, practically leaving himself wide open), I bet they will explain it once Hit gets to face the Alien guy.

You've oversimplifying it. The scene where Beerus threatens to destroy Goku wasn't placed in the episode for no reason. Goku is getting some character in development in regards to his reckless and naive nature for sure.
I really hope you're right Doctor. I love me some Goku, but this is honestly the perfect time to have him develop further.

Honestly, Gohan and Kuririn calling Goku out (which is really the most unlikely scenario would be pretty cool if it happened, especially with the last two episodes highlighting Goku and Kuririn's contrast to fighting.

We might get Krillin calling Goku out actually. We saw him sticking up to Goku in 76 after all.

Probably because Vegeta threatened Goku so many times now that it comes across as just another empty threat.
This and that I want Goku to be scolded by everyone not just Vegeta. This would be a great opportunity for a true reveal of his character, stating that he don't care about anything than fighting and his lust for power made him blind enough to ignore those harmed by this tournament.

I'm just saying if this scenario happens then how the fandom will react
    is highly unlikely that these 8 fighters will get jobbed since they have been in poster, in the op and heck they got their own eyecatchers

      In that case expect a LOT of anger and people saying they'll never watch Super again. Although they'll be back for the next live stream.

        Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.

        If Super shits on all 8 fighters, I am actually done with it.

        I can tolerate Tien and Roshi jobbing, but if even Gohan and 17 amount to nothing, I'm done.

        They won't disappoint though, every decision made after the black arc has been incredible so far. It's in good hands !

          17 will definitely do well. He's been gone for way too long. I want to say the same thing about Gohan but at this point, I simply cant #believe like I used to.

          Pretty much. It just makes no sense to up the teams from 5-man team to a 10-man team if you were going to have all non Goku/Vegeta characters get shafted. 17 has the best chance of any non Goku/Vegeta character of looking good. With Gohan (and practically everyone else too), you got to be wary.

          I feel like Goku is going to be taken out before the finals. He instigated this situation for his own satisfaction, so it would be interesting to see him denied that and having to deal with the potential ramifications of a bad call that he can't overcome through punching and kicking or the Dragon Balls.
