[edit] Itadaki Street Portable
Bismarck appears in Dragon Quest & Final Fantasy in Itadaki Street Portable.
[edit] Final Fantasy: Unlimited
In the anime Final Fantasy: Unlimited, Bismarck makes an appearance as a summon. The Soil Charge Triad (Soil is like the colored bullet of a Magun, used to summon creatures) needed to summon Bismarck is:
- The one who tears apart boulders with it's teeth, Shark Gray!
- The one who envelopes all thirst, Water Blue!
- The one who feeds on emptiness, Crusher White!
Followed by saying: "Cry! Summoned Creature! Bismarck!"
In the English audio version, the Soil Charge Triad was changed to:
- Grinding and devouring rocks, Shark Gray!
- The soil that drinks thirst, Water Blue!
- That which can even feed on empty space, Crusher White!
Followed by saying: "Roar! I summon you! Bismarck!"
[edit] Etymology
The Esper is likely to have been named after the famous Second World War battleship, the Bismarck, which in turn was named after the German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck.
