To see this, add an undefined character to your party.
"Now Printing" is a common placeholder used by Japanese media when a picture isn't ready at the time of press. Unused Graphics Unused Character PortraitĪ placeholder character portrait, reading "Now Printing" in Hiragana. Of slight interest, the Materia's Japanese name was changed when it finally was used there, to せんすい (Diving). It went unused only in the initial Japanese release, due to Emerald Weapon's absence from that version.
すいちゅうこきゅう (Underwater Respiration) - This is the Independant Materia the man in Kalm gives you to fight Emerald Weapon. In the final game, Reflect and Wall are attached to the Barrier Materia instead. Level 1 teaches Reflect, and level 2 teaches Wall. リフレク (Reflect) - Magic Materia, max level 4 stars at 20,000 total AP. This is actually paired with a dummied battle status of the same name existing in the original Japanese release and was probably intended as some sort of countermeasure against Reflect. リフアブ (RifuAbu "Reflect Absorb") - Magic Materia, max level 3 stars at 60,000 total AP. In the final game, MBarrier is attached to the Barrier Materia instead. マバリア (MBarrier) - Magic Materia, max level 3 stars at 20,000 total AP. This was a joke on the programmer's behalf (To hire lawyers, you throw money away). This materia was unused in the original Japanese version, but was redesigned and released as part of the Throw command for international releases. 
ほうそく (Law) Command Materia, max level 2 stars at 20,000 total AP. While a Support Materia with this function would be included in Final Fantasy VII Remake in the form of the AP Up (APアップ) Materia, it's unknown if that's what was intended here. It's speculated that this would have boosted AP gain on the attached Materia. ブースター (Booster) - Support Materia, max level 5 stars at 90,000 total AP. It's unknown what they were intended for (testing purposes?), but it's worth noting that they're only named in the Japanese version they're nameless in the western release. There are a handful of unused materia in the game's code.
