Damn, always good to be reminded of Inception's awesomeness.

"Yo, Gohan, I see you like to use the Super Saiya-jin transformation. I'd like to teach you something valuable. I'll teach you to transform into a Super Saiya-jin whilst being a Super Saiya-jin after you've already transformed into a Super Saiya-jin, and right after that you'll transform into a Super Saiya-jin yet again. You will become the Ultimate Warrior!" - Old Kaioshin if he was in Inceptionball Z.

On topic, isn't it an inconsistency that Tenshinhan doesn't recognize Ma Jr.? I mean, sure, he has changed in the face, but he still has the same green skin, the same pointy ears, the same eyes and lack of eyebrows, and the same textures on his arms (as well as the same preference of purple clothing). Either Toriyama briefly forgot that Tenshinhan helped out in Goku's fight against Piccolo Daimao, or he wanted to make him to look like a fool.

Tenshinhan thougt Piccolo Ma Jr. was Piccolo Daimao's henchman.
Goku has spotted a green guy with pointy ears, a turban, and a mantle -- Piccolo's offspring, and he's already grown to adult size. Yamcha and Krillin ask Goku if they know this guy, but Tenshinhan recognizes him

Piccolo's offspring and Goku smirk at each other, and then Piccolo's offspring coldly walks off. Tenshinhan asks if one of Piccolo Daimao's henchmen had survived, and Goku tells him to keep this quiet, as not to cause a commotion. Yamcha, Krillin, and Chaozu wonder what's up, and Goku tells them they were just saying that guy was strong.

It's in volume 16, it's clarified by Goku, who Ma Jr. really is.

And it seems like everyone had trouble recognizing Piccolo before he lost his turban, even though his father was on TV.

In a world with talking animals, a green skinned guy doesn't call for attention. :lol:

Personally I think Piccolo Daimao blew himself up on purpose. He had a huge hole in his stomach and now that he had given birth to his final son, he decided to use his remaining energy to self destruct to avoid having to die slowly of his wound.

I believe that Piccolo Daimao blowing up was the final act required for him to be able reincarnate his soul into his son's body, mixing it with his son's soul.

But Goku and Krillin saw Ten perform that attack,I dont think Cell did,so mayxbe he is suprised that Cell could use it without anyone showing him how?
But he exclaimed, "I thought the Taiyo-ken was Tenshinhan's move!" And he's only seen it being performed at the 23rd TB, when Goku used it.

Someone seriously needs to make this. Now.

And Inception seriously was a mindfuck. I really need to watch it again.
