This page is a resource that catalogues each of the future quotes that have been confirmed in either Emilia's Third Trial or by the author of Re:Zero, Nagatsuki Tappei, displaying the points at which the quotes were said, the identities of the speakers, as well as whether or not they are exact.
Future Quotes from Emilia's Third Trial
These are quotes that appeared during Emilia's third Trial at the Sanctuary in the climax of Arc 4, appearing in the 1st and 2nd sections of Chapter 4 in Volume 15. According to Minerva, although all of the futures were negative futures shown by Echidna to upset Emilia,[1] they were not set in stone; some of the futures seen may come true, while others may not.[2] The identities of the speakers of most future quotes were determined with Episode 48 from Season 2.
Up until now, only one future Trial quote has appeared in the story, and there were slight differences between the quote spoken in the simulation of the future within the Trial and the actual quote during the moment it was spoken. In light of this, subsequent instances of future quotes appearing in the story have the potential to not be wholly identical to the Trial's quotes. Furthermore, a future quote can be completely averted altogether, as has been the case for only one quote as of March 30, 2024, per a statement from the author.

“Hate, hate, I hate you. I really hate you. Really. All of it is true. Always, since the moment I met you… I have hated you. I cannot stand the sight of you.”
She had switched spaces, and a moment she had never witnessed played out before her. The sun was unnaturally large. Smoke was rising from the scorched plains, and standing right beside an enormous, decrepit structure, bathed directly in the scarlet sunlight, was a silver-haired girl marred with blood, Emilia. The grown-up version of herself she had only just seen in the second Trial was standing there, blood-ridden. “I’ve thought this many times, and I’ve denied it many times… but the nightmare truly has come, so I will say it.” A smile came over her bloodied face. It was a smile toward the person she hated most in that world. “Perhaps it is true, we should never have met.” At the corner of one of her amethyst eyes, a tear formed a single line as it gently fell. |

“It’s just like you said. That kid was our enemy, and our wounds run deep. If we withdrew here, considering that neither of us can use healing magic, maybe we wouldn’t have been saved.”
“But that kid’s still a kid. ――Isn’t that enough?” The scene differed from the one before, with two figures standing atop sheer cliffs with a commanding view. One of them had his back turned toward the deep forest behind him—she could not see his face. But she remembered his voice. It was one of the people closest to her. Perhaps not as much as the other person, but she definitely remembered him… The person atop the opposite cliff was on one knee, and as he knelt in this position, he was looking down at the other. Though she could not see his expression, Emilia could tell both of them were making terribly melancholic faces. “You’re… you’re a hero. You can’t be… anything but a hero…!” “I…” “Thank you…for saving me, damn it!!” When the other figure reached out with his hand, the figure with his back turned lobbed words of gratitude his way. ――It was a parting of nigh-unbearable sadness. It was a moment of parting marred by indelible despair. |

Future Quotes from the Author
These are quotes that were published on the author's Twitter account in 2015, posted with the intent to reveal quotes that characters from the series might say in the future. The identities of some speakers of these future quotes were determined by their speaking styles, the context of their quotes, and how characters with affiliations in a given group were grouped together, though many of the presented quotes still remain unattributed to a character.
As with the quotes from Emilia's Third Trial, there have been slight differences between the quote spoken in the line provided by the author and an actual quote during the moment it was spoken, and so subsequent instances of these future quotes appearing in the story may also not be wholly identical to the author's provided quotes.

So in the end, what difference does that make to the life dedicated to it? The conclusion you arrive at is that the benefit to humanity, and the fact that the one who offers it cannot benefit from it, are one and the same.

Notes
- ↑ According to the author at a talk show held on March 30, 2024, Julius's future quote had been averted. It remains the only future quote from Emilia's Third Trial that is confirmed as averted.
- ↑ Reminiscent screams of Echidna's name have appeared in the story twice, once with Puck before the future quotes were revealed, and once with Al after the future quotes were revealed. Due to the nature of the quote being easy to replicate, it is impossible to determine if the latter was intended to be the instance where this quote appeared because it is not exact.
- ↑ In the actual scene where the quote was spoken, the word toki in kanji (時) was replaced with toki in kana (とき).
- ↑ In the actual scene where the quote was spoken, Priscilla addresses the target of her words with a different form of a word (そなた, sonata) than the word (お前, omae) used in the original quote. Furthermore, a comma was used in place of a period for a sentence break.
