Btw, the genki thing would just work in Gohan's favor, we are told, flat out, even after Goku told him to get his ass in gear (aka the "motivation"), that he was still holding back out of fear and not using his full power.
The whole genki mind concept not only is shot down as being in play, as if it was, he'd have gotten a boost, and not still below his normal peak. That did not happen, the Kamehameha we see clash with a 4-B attack, was still well below Gohan's full output, let alone above it.
But the fact right after Goku notes and explains what's going on, and pages later he stops and oops Cell dead, outright tells us the only thing that actually changed, is Gohan stopped being a bitch.
