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.”


The instant she came into contact with the light, a voice echoed directly into her consciousness. Simultaneously, a powerful, reddish scene leaped toward her.

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.

Unknown Emilia ?
“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.”


“In that case…”

“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.

Unknown Subaru and Reinhard ?
“――Without that, have you not even a sword to swing, thief!!” Unknown Wilhelm ?
“Subaru, Emilia-neesama, I know you must be so tired. I’m sorry. And yet, even I’ve become a burden on you. I’m sorry. All the thanks I’d wanted to say could never be enough…” Unknown Petra ?
“Yes, yes… my precious granddaughter… has grown to be a good child…” Unknown Rom ?
“I’m sorry. I’m sorry for being so weak. I’m sorry I couldn’t make the kill. Now ―― will always be alone forever. I’m sorry I’m so weak…” Unknown Aldebaran ?
“Does this make you feel that you have seen your promise through? If it does… if it does, then I should have just been wrapped up in that cave and left for dead! If… if I was going to see this dawn, then I should have just offed myself sooner! Damnit, damnit!” Unknown Otto ?
“Under no circumstances shall I perish to something as nonsensical as a curse!” Unknown Crusch ?
“There, you see? It is my victory again.” Volume 38, Curtain's Close, Section 7. Priscilla No
“To think that someone I wanted to kill so much was actually a kind person; what an incredible nightmare.” Unknown Ram ?
“If I bend my knees before irresistible despair, and lose even my sword… just what is it I still cling to?” N/A, future averted[Note 1] Julius N/A
“Am I really that greedy? Do I really ask so much? I just don’t want to be alone, I don’t want to become alone… is that so hard to understand?” Unknown Anastasia ?
“I’m gonna kill you, just like I promised! Aah!? Natsuki Subaruuuu!!” Unknown Garfiel ?
“It’s simply that I realized something. That for all these days, I haaad~ not been walking alone.” Unknown Roswaal ?
“After all, we must shed every last drop of our blood to atone, yes?” Unknown Frederica ?
“Why… the soul won’t take hold!?” Unknown Ferris ?
“Right and wrong and good and evil’s all a bunch of bullshit. You’re stopping right there. Say it’s the Dragon or say it’s the Witch, if anyone’s blocking the way then I’m… then we’re, gonna crush them.” Unknown Felt ?
“――I believe that to pray for favour is arrogance. Prayers are for seeking forgiveness.” Unknown Rem ?

Actual Quotes

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.

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.

Actual Quotes

  • “I won’t leave any of those humans… any of those rotten fiends alive. I’ll make sure to purge their very roots and throw every single corpse off the Great Waterfall!”
    Re:Zero Ex Light Novel Volume 2, Third Stanza, Section 2, spoken by Rom.
  • “Sorry about that. It’s a family tradition at the Natsuki household to take off our shoes when we enter a house, yet barge into people’s hearts with muddy feet.”
    Re:Zero Light Novel Volume 13, Chapter 7, Section 1, spoken by Natsuki Subaru.[Note 3]
  • “Ha ha ha, there there, I can hear it. Your crying, groveling voice saying you want me to be your bride.”
    Re:Zero Light Novel Volume 38, Curtain's Close, Section 7, spoken by Priscilla Barielle.[Note 4]

Notes

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. In the actual scene where the quote was spoken, the word toki in kanji (時) was replaced with toki in kana (とき).
  4. 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.
