Description
Mohamed Tabarsi, nicknamed Turbine, features throughout official Shaman King media. Born February 24, 1971, in the Middle East, he served as a child mercenary in war zones, first wielding firearms as a youth. During an Iraqi confrontation where enemies trapped him, Hao Asakura intervened, incinerating the assailants and sparing Turbine’s life. This forged Turbine’s unshakable devotion to Hao, whom he revered as a savior.
Turbine possesses tanned skin, short black wavy hair, and striking yellow eyes. He typically wears a long white thawb robe, paired with a white turban and veil masking his face. His ensemble includes green armbands, a waist sash, black sandals, and a glass jewel held in his right palm as a spiritual medium. At the Star Festival, he adopted simpler attire revealing his torso, accessorized with a golden necklace, armlets, and Persian belt. In casual moments, he chose jeans, green sneakers, a long-sleeved shirt, and a star-patterned hat symbolizing Hao.
As a high-ranking follower of Hao, Turbine frequently led field missions in Hao’s absence, though Brocken Meyer also asserted leadership. Since childhood, he believed his purpose was shielding the vulnerable, yet displayed ruthlessness by dismissing weaker allies like Damayaji’s death as irrelevant to their cause. Under Hao, he found stability, describing their life as "heaven" compared to Middle Eastern strife, granting him dedicated training time. Despite his loyalty, he privately confided doubts about Hao’s objectives to Peyote Diaz shortly before dying.
Turbine’s core spiritual ability channeled his ancestral guardian ghost, Djinn, through the glass jewel. This enabled energy beam assaults and Oversoul manifestations. In combat, he unleashed large-scale destruction, such as demolishing buildings with concentrated blasts.
Narratively, Turbine debuted during Tokyo’s Shaman Fight preliminaries, qualifying for the main tournament by striking a Patch Officiant and securing two match victories. He later joined Hao’s group confronting Yoh Asakura, traveling to America aboard the Patch Jumbo aircraft. In Patch Village, he spearheaded efforts to eliminate Yoh’s allies, notably justifying Boris Tepes Dracula’s murder of Damayaji as culling weakness.
Throughout the Shaman Fight’s second round, he orchestrated assaults against Yoh’s team, including an attack on Team "The Ren" where he targeted Tao Ren with beams. He later joined a hospital ambush, collapsing the structure with his Oversoul. After Gandhara’s intervention revived Ryu, Turbine withdrew with Peyote. During a mission against human warships, Turbine acknowledged shared Hao-related doubts with Peyote, but their exchange halted when Peyote abruptly killed Zang-Ching and Bill. Turbine screamed at Peyote before Tamurazaki Midori fatally shot him in the face. His body suffered irreparable damage, barring resurrection.
Post-death, Turbine’s spirit boarded the Great Spirit’s Soul Train, ascending to the highest commune alongside fallen followers. There, he collectively urged Hao to halt his rampage and restore the lives taken.
In the 2001 anime adaptation, his role diminished, his face perpetually obscured. He fought during the Babylon Gate assault, killing John Denbat by piercing his chest and Archangel spirit, before Tao Ren defeated him alongside other followers. His post-defeat fate in this version remains unaddressed.
