Monster Strike Super Energy Wakuwaku no Mi MIX
On December 10, 2019, Monster Strike's energy drink "Super Energy Wakuwaku no Mi MIX" was released in limited quantities.
The 300ml bottle can is priced at 239 yen (including tax), which is a bit on the expensive side. However, with the main Monster Strike campaign being held at the same time, it seems like a great merchandise item for fans.

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.
Flavor of Monster Strike Super Energy Wakuwaku Fruit MIX
When poured into a glass, it has a slightly cloudy pink color. I was expecting a yellow tropical fruit color, so I was surprised by the unexpected color of the "imaginary fruit" (as described later) – a fun touch.
The scent is a synthetic fruit and chemical mix, so it's easy to imagine the taste right from the smell Σ(´∀`;)
Let’s drink it right away.
The taste is just as expected, with a light sweetness mainly from a mild peach flavor, mixed with guava and apple that have had their acidity toned down, creating a refreshing fruit mix. Along with the fruit flavor, there's a gentle chemical flavor that spreads, giving it a taste like children's medicine.
There’s almost no acidity. The fruit flavor itself is mild and gentle, so it might feel lacking in punch, and overall it may come across as a bit unsatisfying. If you're expecting the strong, intense flavors typical of energy drinks, you might be disappointed.
That said, it does use plenty of sugar, so it’s not tasteless, and the refreshing flavor doesn't leave a sense of dissatisfaction.
Energy Ingredients of Monster Strike Super Energy Wakuwaku Fruit MIX
With 96mg of caffeine and 300mg of arginine, the ingredients are pretty standard. There’s nothing particularly special or unique in the mix.
I thought that if the average player age of Monster Strike was younger, the caffeine content might be lower, so I looked it up and found that the average age is in the 40s. It seemed like a perfectly reasonable amount of caffeine.
This Wakuwaku Fruit MIX contains zero fruit juice. I thought adding fruit juice might deepen the flavor, but since the "Wakuwaku Fruit is an imaginary fruit," it makes sense that it wouldn't contain any real fruit juice. The artificial taste seems to be the right choice, even though I didn’t expect to see such a line.
Design of Monster Strike Super Energy Wakuwaku Fruit MIX
The can features the Monster Strike logo on the front.
By choosing a bottle can instead of the usual pull-tab type, it stands out more in stores, setting it apart from other products. The bottle can is also easier to carry around while drinking, making it a big plus in terms of visibility and practicality.

Even if you’re not a Monster Strike fan, the flavor might still catch your attention.
I’ve never played Monster Strike, so I’m completely unfamiliar with it, though...
While there are energy drinks with intricate ingredients or mysterious poems written on them, a playful product like this one can be just as enjoyable.
The energy drink label is in a rare vertical writing style.

I didn’t feel the intense "super energy" effect, but surprisingly, the taste was balanced and quite pleasant. It would be interesting if they released more limited edition energy drinks with different can colors and flavors for promotional campaigns.
