One, two - Pon, pon, pon! VGMP and Cyberpunk Studios have completed the only English translation of Sega Hard Girls' Japan-exclusive OVA episode - aka Episode 14. This serves as the last of our COVID crackdown series in collaboration with VGMP.

We've finished the series proper but WAIT... there's just one more... Sega Hard Girls returns in a one-off special called (among other things) Hang-On. You'll have to forgive the image quality on this episode, the full series was released on Blu-Ray by Diskotek Media but it didn't include the final episode. The Bonus Episode was only on the Japanese DVD release in 2016 (after the release of the Blu-Rays in Japan) and as such there is no HD version (or translated copy) available officially yet. Having said that, we've been translating the episode and will release it when it's ready.

You've returned to see how this crazy ride ends, huh? How many more references can they shoehorn into a single production? Is there anything we've been unable to recognise hiding in the series?

We return to the vast well of references that is Sega Hard Girls. We've already seen so much, Episode 8 was basically a cheap showcase of 29 female Sega characters (and I omitted the Sega Hard Girls characters, as they had their own article at the beginning of this).

Remember him? No, me neither...), before swinging into the world of Jet Set Radio and finishing in a crossover of Phantasy Star Online 2 and Shining Force Cross Exlesia Zenith ("And the award for the longest, most tongue twisty title goes to...").

So we return to continue delving into all the references within Sega Hard Girls (2013). This will certainly be packed with a lot of references, especially Episode 8 which goes through a smorgasbord of female Sega characters from throughout their history.

It is absolutely no exagguration to say this is the most reference packed sho w I have ever seen. As such, I'm only going to go over the first four episodes of the series, but don't worry there is more than enough here to whet your appetite for more.

The references in this article will only be episode-specific references.

How, how, how high does your high score go? Sega Hard Girls' classroom is an incredible vault of Sega references, from the obvious to the very niche. This is further expanded when you realise the room not only changes over time, but also that the whiteboard contains unique drawings and references every episode. But before we get too ahead of ourselves, let's have a look at the general room layout.

Power On! Let's get started! In Part 1 of this article series, we looked at how all of the characters reference various Sega franchises and console designs, now let's continue with the Sehagaga Academy Atrium - quite possibly the smallest of references occur here and it's still jam-packed.
