This card is designed to simulate the acquisition of a Power Capsule from Konami's Gradius series, which would upgrade the player's ship in one of various ways. The effect of Victory Viper XX03 covers that enemies randomly drop Power Capsules.
The background artwork for this card very heavily resembles the background during the first boss rush of Gradius V. It is quite likely that this card was meant to be a simulation of the pre-boss rush Zub Rush in which innumerable smaller enemies will appear that drop power capsules upon being killed.
This is supported by the fact that these capsules appear in the artwork of Boss Rush.
