- Adventures of Mini-Goddess DVD Volume 3, The Urd Files, covers episode 25-36.
  EDIT SHARE
- Character Introduction: First appearance of Marla, the first-class demon from the Ah! My Goddess series, who also assumes chibi (mini) form. The spelling for Marla comes from the Japanese subtitle translation, but she can also be spelled Mara according to the US Graphic Novels translation, or Marller as shown in a few of the US DVD credits.
  EDIT SHARE
- Alternate Title: According to the US DVD, Chu Hard translated to Squeak Hard.
  EDIT SHARE
- Opening narration: Starting with this episode, the verbiage is the same but we get a new set of video clips.
  
  Closing credits: They are all in Romanized Japanese, including their titles so I can't tell who's the director or writer. The voice credits are spelled out in English but in the asian (Lastname Firstname) format.

ADD ALLUSIONS
- Die Hard references:
  1. The title Chu Hard is formatted in a similar font as Die Hard.
  2. The terrorists hold hostage a group of rats playing. In the movie, the terrorists hold hostage a group of people at a company Christmas party.
  3. One of the terrorists is a computer hacker trying to unlock a safe.
  4. Gan-chan jumps off the roof, bounces off a tree, and breaks through a paper wall. In Die Hard, John McClaine jumped off the roof and crashed through a window.
  5. Gan-chan hides out and is on the defensive while the other terrorists look for him.
