I like your analysis DP and by reading the comments I found MZFE's posts very helpful too.

About Kanjuuro I feel it is almost sure that he is a toy at the moment, working as slave on the toy factory. Seems to me that generally there are no prisons in Dressrosa and every slave or outlaw gonna work in this (unique in my opinion) Smile Factory.

The part that I think is underestimated by all the analysis blogs I have read, is the convesation between TSOR and Milo. TSOR was sure that Milo had his memory restored. He didn't ask him if he remembered, he asked him who he is like it is a fact between toys that at least most of them have the so called human disease. As an insurance that there is not going to be a leak, TSOR said to Milo that Franky is a toy, so he can speak freely (!)

Agreeing with MZFE, I think the memory of the citizens (toys and humans) can be restored by simply meet the people they were bound with. For toys this is happenning oftenly, so a lot of them know, but none can speak openly, cause they will end up in these junk machines (or whatever they are). Humans cannot restore their memories, since instead of meeting the people they used to love, they are meeting them as toys and they cannot see their faces.

Although seems that there is a mechanism of restoration that works even for humans. From what we have seen, there are people like Rebecca and maybe Ricky who know their past. I suppose the possibilty to restore your memory is related with the restriction rule after 00:00.

Another important question is how they are transformed into toys and how the memories are being erased. The first part is half answered, a devil fruit user. On this question a simple answer would be that both of these changes happen by devil fruit abilities. I suppose this is not far from truth. Violet could be related with the memory erasing and another member of the Family related with the toy making thing. Law could have the possibility to transport the heart of a living organism on a toy and the revealed timeline is fitting this theory. Also, if Law and Violet are the two users we are looking for, then after this arc, with both of them as our allies (let's assume), it would be easy to restore the situation. If another member of the family who is clealry a villain has this ability, then there is not an easy way, except death, to restore the past of Dressrosa.
