Just a few questions I was hoping I could have answered:

1. Why did Frieza require a third form?

Frieza's first three forms were all designed to suppress his power, right? But he said in his fight with Goku that he was only using 1% of his full power. Frieza's Full Power in this form was 120,000,000, so 1% of that would have been just 1,200,000. His power in his second form was already easily over 1 million, and he could control that without any difficulty. So why did he have to condense his power into another form after that?

2. Why does SSJ3 give Gotenks such a minor power increase?

Super Saiyan 3 was shown to surpass the previous levels of Super Saiyan by some distance when Goku used it. Majin Vegeta, who was of the same strength as Goku in his SSJ2 state, was inferior to Majin Buu by some distance, whereas Goku in his SSJ3 state was probably stronger than Buu. Gotenks, on the other hand, was able to keep pace with Super Buu in his Super Saiyan form, but was still only equal with Buu or at best a little stronger in his SSJ3 state, and it may be worth noting that Gotenks was fighting more seriously in his bout with Buu near Kami's Lookout than he was in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. So why did it make such a small difference then when it had helped Goku so much?

3. Couldn't Olibu have saved Earth from the Saiyans?

Since Baba had the power to revive people for one day, couldn't she have brought back Olibu to fight the Saiyans? Judging by the fights in Other World he would have had no trouble beating Nappa and Vegeta at that time, right?

Firstly, i can't remember Frieza saying he was only using 1% of his full power against Goku... I remember him saying he wasn't using his full power but i don't think he specified that he was using just 1%. Maybe i'm wrong, i would have to go back and look at the manga/watch the anime again.

Second question, you could blame this on how badly the power levels throughout the Buu Saga were portrayed, they are loads of inconsistencies and things that don't quite make sense. Otherwise, the only other alternative i could give is because Gotenks usually messes about during a fight and that is why the full potential of his SSJ3 power isn't shown, he probably could have quite easily destroyed Buu if he was a serious fighter like Vegeta or Goku... Again, another one of those things that doesn't quite make sense, possibly it might just have something to do with the plot of the Buu Saga.

Yeah, he could have, but, correct me if i'm wrong, Olibu is a filler character and doesn't appear in the manga? Regardless, i highly doubt Toriyama was thinking that far ahead when creating DBZ, and most likely Olibu was created (if he is in the manga) not long before his actual appearance.
