Matthew Vaughn, director of Kingsman: the Golden Circle, has spoken about his disappointment in the film's trailers, which included a major spoiler from the film.

We Trained With Goku and Rode a Gundam in VR

With every event I attend or arcade I wander into in Tokyo, I’m reminded that Japan truly does get some of the best stuff. That certainly applies to Bandai Namco’s virtual reality arcade, VR Zone Shinjuku.

We didn't have much time at VR Zone, though, so my team stuck with the licensed anime experiences. Though these were all in Japanese I did receive English instructions.

Side note: If you happen to have a short skirt or dress, the VR Zone team will kindly provide you with a blanket or longer skirt if you're at an attraction that requires you to sit or squat. VR Zone has excellent service.
