The biggest mystery in The Quintessential Quintuplets is who the future bride is! Her true identity has not yet been revealed, but her future appearance has appeared several times in the story, and it is certain that she is one of the five sisters. Who among the five is the future bride? This time, we will take a closer look at this.
Is the favorite really the girl from memories?

The most likely candidate for his future bride is a girl named Rena, as Futaro cherishes a photo of her from their childhood. She calls herself "Zero Rei," so it's almost 100% certain that she is one of the five sisters whose names begin with the numbers One through Five, but her true identity is unknown. It is thought that there is a very high possibility that she is the future bride.
Rena says goodbye without revealing her true identity

Rena suddenly appears in front of Fuutarou and gets on a boat, then says "goodbye" and leaves. At that time, she takes away the photo of the past that Fuutarou treasured, which can be interpreted as meaning that she is not bound by the past and is looking forward. The same nuance can be felt from the words, "I'm sure you've become someone who is needed by now."
If we go the traditional route, will May be the bride?

As far as we've seen so far in The Quintessential Quintuplets, it seems like a lot of it revolves around May. The first volume also has Satsuki at the center of its cover, while the second volume has its sisters on the cover, so there's no doubt that it's considered special. When you think about it, Satsuki's sense of justice is just as strong as when they first met five years ago.
Let's consider the bride's appearance

In The Quintessential Quintuplets, the bride's true identity has not been revealed, but her appearance has been revealed. Judging from her appearance, the person who looks the most like her at the moment is Ichika. We can see that her hair is tied up inside the veil, but if her hair is long it would be difficult to pull off a hairstyle like this. In that case, Ichika with short hair that has just grown out a little would look the best.
Ichika's past personality was that of a mischievous bully!?

The reason Ichika has never been a candidate for bride until now is because her personality is so different from the girl she was five years ago. However you look at it, she's the type who always wants to step forward and always pushes herself forward, so she's very different from Ichika... but recently, it was revealed that Ichika had a bully-like personality as a child. What bothers me the most about her is her ability to quickly become friends with anyone. In other words, it's not strange that she would suddenly start talking to Fuutarou when they first met.
Something that looks like earrings in the bride's ears

When you look at the bride at the wedding, aside from her hairstyle, you can see something that looks like earrings in her ears. Speaking of earrings, there was an episode in the past where Nino said she wanted to get her ears pierced, and when she was heartbroken by Kintaro, she cut her hair short, which also fits the hairstyle of a bride.
Reactions when she saw Fuutarou from five years ago

When Nino first saw the photo from five years ago, her first reaction was, "He's my type!" But if you think about it rationally, the other person was Fuutarou, who was an elementary school student at the time. Would a high school student say that he was her type when she saw an elementary school student? It seems that Nino was acting like she thought there was a connection between Fuutarou and the boy in the photo she met in the past, and was trying to get him to introduce her to her.
Is it unlikely that Miku was the girl from the past?

No matter how much her personality may have changed, I don't think Miku would be as aggressive in following him around as that girl. Also, Miku was the first to fall in love with Fuutarou in this work, and if she remembered meeting Fuutarou in the past, she would have said so.
The past is the past. Miku is the closest to being a "legal wife" at present.

I wrote that the possibility that the girl he met in the past is Miku is low, but of course it's not zero. Furthermore, there is no 100% proof that Futaro's marriage partner is the girl he met in the past. It's possible that he won't marry the girl he met in the past, but will instead deepen his relationship with Miku and get married... (although this is highly unlikely)
Is Yotsuba the favorite?

Although Yotsuba has a playful image and seems to be less familiar with romance than her other sisters, there are even rumors online that she may be the girl from the past (Reina). The biggest reason for this is her drive! It was typical of Yotsuba to meet Fuutaro alone as a child, wasn't it? It seems like Yotsuba to have bought five charms for each of his sisters.
Was Futaro in love with her in the past? A girl with Yotsuba's hairstyle

There is a girl who Futaro seems to have had a crush on when he was in elementary school. The girl was the class representative and her name was Takebayashi. However, Takebayashi was good friends with Sanada, who was also the class representative, and Futaro looked at the two of them with envy. It is believed that this was also related to Futaro's subsequent dedication to studying. The hairstyles of Takebayashi and Yotsuba are identical! If Yotsuba was looking at Takebayashi's photo, realized her feelings, and imitated them...
Yotsuba was aware of Fuutarou from the beginning

This goes back to when they first met in volume 1, and there is a scene where Yotsuba talks to Fuutarou. At the time, it was their first meeting and Fuutarou only recognized him as just a friend of Satsuki's, but for some reason Yotsuba called him "Uesugi-san" and seemed to know his true identity.
Always on Fuutarou's side

At first, many of the sisters disliked Fuutarou or found him amusing like Ichika, but Yotsuba was the only one who was on Fuutarou's side from the beginning. Thinking back to that time and that time... Yotsuba, who for some reason has always been together with Fuutarou and on his side, seems the most likely candidate.

To give you the conclusion first, the answer is that I have absolutely no idea who it is (lol). I'm sure there are many speculations on the internet. Among them, I personally think that Yotsuba is one step ahead, or that she is closest to the girl from the past! We don't know yet if Yotsuba will be the future bride, but we'll be keeping our eyes peeled for future developments.
