In 2001, while living in the United States, I encountered energy drinks through the dance scene and was deeply impressed. After returning to Japan, I found that energy drinks were considered novelty beverages, so I established a comprehensive website in 2013 to share the true appeal of energy drinks. As an energy drink enthusiast, I began drinking them seriously again, collecting over 7,000 varieties of energy drinks from various countries. I am also active as a critic and expert, receiving media interviews.

Godzilla Energy 2: Type 3 Mechagodzilla Flavor

The scent isn’t much different from the Burning Godzilla. The color is a vivid clear blue, matching the can’s design. It’s the exact color that screams “unhealthy” for energy drinks.

Let’s try it. The first impression on the palate is very similar to Burning Godzilla— a subtle sweetness with a slight chemical scent reminiscent of Oronamin C or similar drinks. Oh, this is the same taste as Burning Godzilla...

The chemical-like flavor, scent, and color make it an easy and recognizable taste. It’s a flavor that even Godzilla fans who don’t normally drink energy drinks can enjoy without feeling out of place.

With such a distinct color difference, one might expect subtle flavor differences based on sight, but it’s clearly the same flavor. This is beyond a doubt.

I confirmed with Cheerio, and they mentioned that both the Type 3 Mechagodzilla and Burning Godzilla share the same flavor, with only the design and the color of the contents differing. I was hoping for a unique Mechagodzilla flavor.

All Three Godzilla Energy Flavors

Since there was the original Godzilla Energy, I thought I’d line up all three. The colors are amazing!

For those used to energy drinks, the flavors aren’t anything groundbreaking, but the combination of these colors and the Godzilla collaboration leaves an impact.

Godzilla Energy 2: Type 3 Mechagodzilla Energy Ingredients

It contains 210mg of caffeine, 680mg of arginine, guarana, and maca. This is one of the highest caffeine contents in Japan, perfectly matching the intense image of Godzilla.

The recommended daily caffeine intake is 400mg, so after drinking one Type 3 Mechagodzilla, it’s important to avoid consuming too much energy drinks, coffee, green tea, or black tea.

Although I knew Mechagodzilla from childhood, I’d never heard of the "Type 3 Mechagodzilla" until now. After researching, I found out that “Mechagodzilla” is actually referred to as “Kiryuu” in Japan, using a naming method from the Self-Defense Forces.

Mechagodzilla has been featured in multiple movies, and the first appearance was in 1974. Wow, that’s quite a long time ago! This Godzilla Energy 2 Type 3 Mechagodzilla product is inspired by the 2002 movie "Godzilla × Mechagodzilla."

Finding Godzilla Energy 2: Type 3 Mechagodzilla on My Trip to Osaka

During my trip to Osaka, I searched for Godzilla Energy 2 in vending machines.

I found it, but apparently, either the Burning Godzilla or the Mechagodzilla would come out randomly from the vending machine... Σ(´∀｀；) I was hoping for the fun of discovering it while looking around, but I’m not a fan of random gachas, so I decided to go to a shop instead.
