Its Spell Power is 58, and it is unblockable. It costs 50 MP to summon, and it teaches the following spells:

At Level Up, it provides a +2 boost to Vigor.

[edit] Final Fantasy: Unlimited

Bismarck in 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.
