Crunchyroll is the primary streaming platform for Trapped in a Dating Sim Season 2 across the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and most of Europe.

What Happened in Episode 11
Episode 11, titled around the conclusion of the war, wrapped up the long conflict between the kingdom and the Principality of Fanoss. Angelica and Olivia attempted to convince Hertrude to surrender, but their gentle words had no effect. Marie stepped in and shared her own grief over losing her brother, which finally reached Hertrude and helped end the fighting.
Vandel, the strongest warrior of the principality, refused to stand down. He had served the royal sisters for years to atone for his role in the deaths of their parents, and his demon arm had begun to take control of his body. Leon fought Vandel alone and nearly died before cutting off his control over the armor. Vandel died in the battle.
With Vandel gone, only a summoned monster and Hertrude remained. Leon, Angelica, and Olivia worked together to destroy the monster, with Arroganz landing the finishing beam and Luxion delivering its signature line. Hertrude survived the battle and was saved by the same man she had spent her life fighting. The episode ended with a hint that the next story would focus on a wedding, setting up the finale.

Leon Gets a Double Confession in Episode 12
The official synopsis for Episode 12, titled “A World Tough for Mob Characters”, confirms that the war has ended and the kingdom has absorbed the principality as a marquisate. But peace does not mean quiet for Leon. Julius and his friends cause trouble, and then Olivia and Angelica confess their feelings to Leon at the same time.
This development follows the emotional groundwork laid in Episode 11, where both girls fought alongside Leon in the final battle. The teaser from the previous episode also pointed toward a wedding in Leon’s family, which will likely bring the whole cast together for the season’s closing moments. Deirdre and Clarice remain interested in Leon as well, while Bernard is determined to tie Leon to his clan through marriage. The finale is expected to lean into the series’ comedic side rather than the heavy drama of the war arc.
