For the video game, see Ranma ½: Hard Battle . Cover of the DVD box set by Viz.
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 closing song, "Present " by Tokyo Shōnen, was used in the 39th to 54th Nettōhen episodes; it was never heard in Viz's Hard Battle VHS or DVD sets. The closing song used in Outta Control , "Friends" by YAWMIN, was mislabeled as "Present" during the first eight episodes of that season.
