Recently, it went viral on social media when Ismail bin Mail or his nickname Mail who is one of the characters in the popular Malaysian animated series Upin and Ipin actually has a brother.
For those of you who do not follow this animation, Mail is often considered as an only child because he always helps his mother do business alone without the help of other siblings.
The 41-second video caught the attention of many, especially fans, when Mail introduced his brother, Izham, when his friends came to him while doing business in the market. However, according to the website Upin Dan Ipin Fandom, Mail is actually stated to have a brother, but this may be the first time he made a direct appearance in the animation.
Not only did he show up with his brother all of a sudden, Mail in this episode also sells seaweed crackers, in contrast to his usual when he only sells fried chicken. Most netizens who watched the video were initially surprised by the new information but they still responded positively to the video sharing
“Wow, after years of watching the Upin and Ipin series, don’t even know that he has a brother? Other characters have never shown that they have siblings,” commented one of the Instagram users.
Not only has this video received a positive response from netizens, but they are also excited to see the character of Mail’s brother in one of the new episodes of Upin and Ipin.
So far it is not known whether the appearance of Izham’s brother will continue to appear in the animated series or not.
But the latest developments and the addition of this character will definitely add to the excitement in this popular Malaysian animated series.
There will definitely be more funny and touching scenes that will happen with the appearance of Mail’s brother if it is maintained in this animated series.
