1. Gohan did not give up after losing goku to raditz
2. Gohan did not give up after watching all the namekiens die
3. Gohan ALMOST gave up after losing goku to cell but still pulled through
4. Gohan DID NOT give up against super boo after all his friends and the whole earth got eaten
Gohan is not this much of a quitter, plain and simple. His saiyan pride would never let him become a nihilistic, emo high school student.
There is no legitimate reason for this to happen. Baba helped bring goku back for a day in Z and with grandpa gohan. Goku and gohan saving the galaxy from freeza deserves some more credibility than this. This kind of writing oozes depression and nihilism.

I guess Gohan fucking hates his mom because I'm fairly certain that she's not dead here, at least going by the History of Trunks OVA. Also incredibly OOC for him to say anything like that at all, ever. Gohan doesn't get sad, he gets MAD.
I do not agree with these comments. Gohan at the end of the day is a kid who lost almost all of his family and friends (for good), whose life has now mutated into this insane killer cyborg apocalypse, and has had the slightest glimmer of hope ripped away from him by Baba. So of course he isn't thinking rationally here; who would? Also why can't he be both sad AND mad simultaneously? Emotions don't exist in a vacuum, especially under stress.
Hot take: moments like these are way more interesting than a lot of the original DBZ's character work. One of my biggest issues with the original DBZ story is the lack of this kind of deep introspection. Of course that isn't Toriyama's style and part of it is my personal taste in the media I consume. But I think that the writing has been such a constant and crucial aspect behind what has kept me coming back to DBM for this long - call it emo and nihilistic writing, but instances like this page are visceral and revealing, so emotionally raw and IMO deepens the reading experience altogether. This comic keeps surprising me and I love it.
