I'm watching an anime where the protagonist says, according to the subtitles,
"that must be it!" But what it sounds like he's saying "あれが" instead of "あれだ".
I know I may be hearing incorrectly, but is it possible for "あれが" to be said
in a way that would translate to "That must be it"?

question
phrases particle-が
あれが for "that must be it"?
I think the only way for it to be `あれが` and make sense is if it's in response
to some question. Although that would be emphasizing the **_that_** in "That
must be it".

>   * 何が一番偉いものなんだ？ → What's the best/greatest one (thing)?
>   * あれが！ → That one (is)! / That must be it!

If you're sure the pronunciation isn't `だ`, there's a slight possibility they
could be saying `あれや！` where `や` is the Kansai-ben equivalent of `だ` and
slightly mistakable for `が` if said fast enough.
