How it's used
Originally borrowed from Japanese media, this term has evolved to describe a person's general capacity to handle tasks or their current mental state. It is frequently used in a humorous or hyperbolic way to describe someone who is either extremely productive or completely burnt out. You will often hear it used to comment on how much work a colleague can handle in a single day.
Examples
His energy level is really low lately; he has no motivation to do anything.

Common mistake
Do not use this to describe actual military or national defense capabilities, as that would sound like a video game translation rather than natural speech.
