Hard Battle

This article lists episodes 23-45 and 51 of Ranma ½ Nettōhen (らんま½ 熱闘編), released by Viz as the third season of Ranma ½ or "Hard Battle". Episode 51 of Nettohen was placed in between episodes 44 and 45.

The opening theme of this season is "Full of Memories" (思い出がいっぱい Omoide ga Ippai) by CoCo while the closing theme is "Lambada Ranma" (乱馬ダ☆RANMA Ranbada Ranma) by the "Ranma ½ Choral Ensemble," composed of the anime's original seiyū. In Japan, "Full of Memories" was used as the opening theme for the 24th to the 45th Nettōhen episodes and "Lambada Ranma" concludes each of the 24th to the 38th Nettōhen episodes. A second closing song, "Present" (プレゼント Purezento) by Tokyo Shōnen, was used in the 39th to 54th Nettōhen episodes; it was never heard in the English dub. In fact, the closing song for Ranma ½: Outta Control, "Friends" (フレンズ Furenzu) by YAWMIN, was mislabeled as "Present" during the first eight episodes of that season.
