The voracious energy-eating Cell reveals that Androids 16 and 18 are part of his strength -- bad news for Piccolo, who is in the midst of battling both Androids. As Piccolo further learns that his newly acquired Super Namek powers may not be enough to emerge victorious, fellow Z-Fighter Tien stands on the sidelines, apparently noncommittal. Tien's curious hesistancy has horrific consequences when Piccolo is defeated -- and killed. First shown in Japan in 1992, "Up to Piccolo" was telecast in the U.S. on October 18, 2000.
