Godzilla attacked in an alternate 1996 in search of Plasma energy to feed on (since nuclear isn't there anymore) in Godzilla vs Megaguirus, which lead the G-Graspers to formulate a plan to kill Godzilla by Dimentional tide because they think its the only way to be rid of his rampage for good, Tokyo's status as capital was replaced by Osaka in the movie as a trivial info.

This established Plasma to be a possible and plausible energy of interest for Godzilla. Given with this, if such a huge amount Plasma like Gamera's beam ever thrown into Godzilla with him prepared with his manipulative capabilities, it would surely load him with excesive energy to utilize a lot of his perky power moves and upgrades, among them are his growth and the ability to backfire the energy in full power. With that, the theory that says he absorbed the energy has more indicator in and off the screen than the theory that says he only uses "his natural power". When did Godzilla got charged with power like he did in the video without external energy anyway? Don't say Burning Godzilla, that one was caused by his rising radiation level coped with a broken heart. No catalyst needed. As seen in GvsSG, he didn't need to absorb any further external source to use the Spiral Ray. Once he gets powered up, he keeps it, thus it's a part of his listed abilities. In the recent Ryu VS Scorpion, Ryu has access to Evil Ryu, despite it supposedly being locked away in SFIV by Gouken. As well, if they actually said that Godzilla was gonna use the plasma energy, I'd accept that explanation.

But he merely attacked. If there was some scene that said he absorbed the plasma, or a visual cue of it happening like when Godzilla absorbed electricity, nuclear energy, or Good King Ghidorah's Gravity Beam, THEN I'd recognize the whole plasma-absorbing thing. But there isn't. Merely him attacking the power plant. I will consider it a possibility, but if not elaborated in some media, be it film, comic, book, television, etc., I don't see it as being a reliable stat for future debates and analyses.
