  We prove novel asymptotic freeness results in tracial ultraproduct von
Neumann algebras. In particular, we show that whenever $M = M_1 \ast M_2$ is a
tracial free product von Neumann algebra and $u_1 \in \mathscr U(M_1)$, $u_2
\in \mathscr U(M_2)$ are Haar unitaries, the relative commutants $\{u_1\}' \cap
M^{\mathcal U}$ and $\{u_2\}' \cap M^{\mathcal U}$ are freely independent in
the ultraproduct $M^{\mathcal U}$. Our proof relies on Mei-Ricard's results
[MR16] regarding $\operatorname{L}^p$-boundedness (for all $1 < p < +\infty$)
of certain Fourier multipliers in tracial amalgamated free products von Neumann
algebras. We derive two applications. Firstly, we obtain a general absorption
result in tracial amalgamated free products that recovers several previous
maximal amenability/Gamma absorption results. Secondly, we prove a new lifting
theorem which we combine with our asymptotic freeness results and
Chifan-Ioana-Kunnawalkam Elayavalli's recent construction [CIKE22] to provide
the first example of a ${\rm II_1}$ factor that does not have property Gamma
and is not elementary equivalent to any free product of diffuse tracial von
Neumann algebras.
