Most people are disappointed because they expected it to be some new character that would join Issei's peerage and his harem after all this. It being Grayfia kind of ruined it for most people and the mystery behind her mask makes no sense to most people now. Why would they have that mask if it was just going to be Grayfia? While it does make sense to an intent, it just ruined the mystery. Most of us were expecting a new character and I thought so because Issei addressed her as shi which refers to being unfamiliar with the person. What a letdown.
