Trivia[]
- The "Hard" in the title is actually a shortened word for "hardware". Since the series was never localized before the crossover with the Neptunia series, it was always referred with its named, often being mistaken by most people as something sexually perverted or make jokes surrounding the name.
- The series remained a Japanese exclusive until the crossover game, Superdimension Neptune Vs. Sega Hard Girls, was localized and published in 2016 for the international audience, making it the first time that the series has been localized as "Sega Hard Girls".
- In Superdimension Neptune Vs. Sega Hard Girls, it is slightly implied that the Sega Hard Girls might actually be some sort of machines or robots as they possess features like being technologically advanced, having a power switch, having technology specifications that can improve when leveling up, encounter freezing issues or system errors and crashes, similar to the Neptunia character, Histoire, who is implied to be an ancient tome that seems to be a robotic or mechanical fairy. Although, it is possible that these are just references to Sega consoles due to the Neptunia series' nature of being a parody of the gaming industry and frequent references.
- Also, within Superdimension Neptune VS Sega Hard Girls, there’s a scene where Segami explains the origins of the Sega Hard Girls and the CPUs. It basically implies that the Sega Hard Girls are the progenitors or surrogate mothers of the CPU goddesses, since it’s mentioned that CPUs are a byproduct of the Sega Hard Girls. However, this detail seems to be forgotten as the story progresses.
- There is another division related to SEGA Hard Girls that focuses on SEGA arcade history, called SEGA Arcade Girls. Unfortunately, there is little insight into their personalities, as they were scrapped from the franchise because the developers felt there were too many characters. Their most noticeable and sadly final appearance was in the Samurai & Dragons collaboration in June 2013. Since then, their existence has not been acknowledged.
- The SEGA Hard Girls franchise generally shows a tendency for Sonic the Hedgehog, or a personification of him, to appear in each major installment. Sonic appears multiple times in the Hi☆sCoool! SeHa Girls anime. In the novel, Sugawara Isao is portrayed as a personification of Sonic the Hedgehog and Hatsune Miku. Additionally, Hatsumi Sega, also known as Segami from the Neptunia franchise, is a personification of Sonic the Hedgehog, Hatsune Miku, and SEGA as a whole, and is canonically depicted as the creator and mother of the SEGA Hard Girls.
- It is usually speculated by the community that the SEGA Hard Girls are descendants of Sonic the Hedgehog and Hatsune Miku, originating from Hatsumi Sega, if the daughter theory is true.
- There is no single canonical timeline in the Sega Hard Girls franchise, as there are many interpretations of the characters across different works. However, in Superdimension Neptune VS Sega Hard Girls Drama CD "Gakuyaura no Girls☆Talk", there is a brief direct reference involving Game Gear made by Dreamcast and Sega Saturn recalled that only makes sense if the events of the Sega Hard Girls light novel occurred first, since in this game Sega Hard Girls are seemly reintroduced to each other.
- The status of the Sega Hard Girls’ relationships with each other changes depending on the type of media. In the light novel, all of the Sega Hard Girls treat each other as sisters or sister figures, although some of them are actually related. In the anime, the Sega Hard Girls have individual families, but this is not brought up again. Lastly, in Superdimension Neptune vs. Sega Hard Girls, the Sega Hard Girls are restated as being blood-related family members.
- It should be noted that the Sega Hard Girls are canonical goddess personifications of their consoles (and various other things) since their debut. However, their divine status has seemingly been downplayed, with little to no mention of it in later appearances.
