日本語で読む
アンパンマンは顔がぬれたり汚れたりすると力が出なくなる。ジャムおじさんが新しい顔を焼いて投げ、顔が替わると、アンパンマンは力を取り戻してこのセリフを叫ぶ。
Cultural Context:
This is the turning point of almost every episode, right before Anpanman beats Baikinman. Many Japanese people grew up with this line. It may also be used, half-jokingly, when someone feels refreshed after eating, resting or getting good news.

Grammar & Learning Points

Trap for English Speakers
元気 is not just "healthy"; it means full of energy and good spirits. 〜倍 means "~ times" (2倍 = twice). The sentence has no verb; naming yourself after a strong word is a common hero style.
日本語で読む
「元気」は「健康」だけでなく、気力や活力があることも表す。「〜倍」は「〜の何倍」の意味(2倍=2倍の量)。動詞がなく、強い言葉のあとに自分の名前を名乗るのはヒーローらしい言い方。
