Humans and demons have been waging war for what seems like ages. Neither side has ceded even an inch in their conflict. A recent event could potentially turn the tide of battle. Fiendish demons have kidnapped the Princess of the Imperial Army and stripped her of her armor, though she still retains her sentient magical sword. The demons intend to coax state secrets from her one delicious meal at a time. We’ll see the Princess’s grand meal continue when ‘Tis Time for “Torture,” Princess (Hime-sama “Gomon” no Jikan desu) Season 2 premieres on January 12th, 2026.

‘Tis Time for “Torture,” Princess. I Hope You Have an Appetite
The Princess of the Imperial Army valiantly fights on behalf of mankind against the vicious demons who plot their demise. She has proudly led the third legion into battle and claimed victory numerous times. The Princess stands as a shining beacon of humanity and proof that humans can triumph against the Hell-Lord and his hordes of demons. The unthinkable happens, and the Hell-Horde captures the brave Princess. She was spirited away to the Hell-Lord’s castle to be interrogated by his top inquisitor.
Torture Tortura soon appears in the Princess’s cell and announces her plans to torture the Princess for information. The sentient magic sword Ex warns Torture that such actions violate the Prisoner of War treaty. Torture waves his concerns away and presents her method of interrogation: flaky, crusty toast. The Princess succumbs to the delectable food presented to her and indulges her taste buds while surrendering classified state secrets. Other fearsome methods of torture — such as playing video games with friends and petting cute animals — await her.
