Memoria, also called the World of Memory (思い出の世界, Omoide no Sekai?), is a pseudo-world made of people's memories. It can be accessed from Archivio by the Sky Priestess.
Memoria is formed based on Mukashic Cubes, which store the Mukashic Record of people's memories, and is physically built out of Memoria Cubes. Because it is based on somebody's memories of a given location, it is usually slightly different from the real version. This applies even to things that the originator recognizes is incorrect, and is not corrected even when they point it out.
When a Memoria is generated, the originator of the memory is removed from its world, allowing them to travel inside and take their place. However, due to the intensity of memories, memories of people appearing in Memoria are much more powerful than they were in the real world.
Memoria's state after the destruction of the Divine Breath and Large Mukashic Cube is unclear.

Hysteria[]
Hysteria (ヒスタリア, Hisutaria?) are Frayed Memories (記憶のほつれ, Kioku no Hotsure?) in a Memoria. They are particularly distorted bits of memory, causing rips in the world of Memoria. To resolve them, the originators must enter the rips and correct issues plagueing them. However, not all originators can enter the Hysteria; some will simply walk through the tear in space without entering it.
If somebody enters a Hysteria and is unable to solve the problem within it, they are incapable of leaving, becoming permanently trapped inside.
Due to being so heavily distorted, they only slightly resemble the actual memories of the location, and merge memories of multiple events. They also only contain a small area, which is limited by the bounds of the unclear memory. Notably, Hysteria reflect the Memoria world without any changes made by the originators.[2]

Trivia[]
- The reason for Zaraza having an alternate persona inside Hysteria is unclear. This quirk is unique to him, as other characters appearing both inside and outside Hysteria all maintain their normal selves.
Archivio[]
Archivio (アルチビオ, Aruchibio?) is the connecting point between Memoria and the real world, and is where somebody's body remains when they enter Memoria.[3] It is made of elements generated by the Tower of Heaven, and is used to store Mukashic Cubes.
Memoria Cubes[]
Memoria Cubes (メモリアキューブ, Memoria Kyūbu?) make up the core of a Memoria's world and, in the case of the first Memoria Cube, a gate back to the Archivio. They are the building blocks of the Memoria world, creating both inanimate and living things. As such, any object or being from a Memoria can be transformed back into a Memoria Cube by the Sky Priestess, which can temporarily be extracted from the Memoria if they're brought close to the first Memoria Cube of the world.
Damaging Memoria Cubes is considered extremely risky by Lim, as the consequences on the surrounding Memoria are unpredictable.
Black Cubes[]
The Black Cubes (黒いキューブ, Kuro Kyūbu?) are corrupted Memoria Cubes created by the Large Mukashic Cube. As Memoria Cubes, their corruption spreads to their surrounding Memoria, and when placed under the control of one of the Memoria's residents, allow them to subconsciously mould the Memoria to their expectations. Control over a Black Cube allowed Crocodile to ensure Operation Utopia's success, CP9 to arrest Iceburg, and Trafalgar Law to singlehandedly overthrow Donquixote Doflamingo's rule of Dressrosa.[4]
Unlike normal Memoria Cubes, Black Cubes appear to survive being damaged, with a single Cube split in half and owned by both Kizaru and Rob Lucci from two separate islands.
Mukashic Cubes[]
Mukashic Cubes (ムカシックキューブ, Mukashic Kyūbu?) are the crystallized form of Mukashic Records (ムカシックレコード, Mukashic Rekōdo?), which represent a life form's memories.[5] Mukashic Cubes can be extracted from a life form by the Sky Priestess, and only hold their shape within a 10 km range of the Tower of Heaven on Waford.[6] Lim describes them as being incredibly light.
The Mukashic Cubes form the basis of the Memoria world, and define the way it is created. However, the extraction of a Mukashic Cube removes the target's memories of the relevant event and related abilities, weakening them and causing them to forget details of their life (though, notably, they retain information on general events). To recover this information, the individual must travel through the Memoria, reliving their experiences.
In addition to the standard Mukashic Cube, there is a variant called a Record Cube (記録キューブ, Kiroku Kyūbu?), which store a person's memories in a readable format. They can be created by Ninja Yoisa, even without the recipient's permission,[4] and are sometimes left behind when an animal dies. Record Cubes can be incorporated into Sarbay's Combat Log, allowing the reader to learn details about the Cube's source.
Though unexplained, it has also been shown that memories of people inside a Memoria can resonate with the Sky Priestess' Mukashic Cubes, forming memories of people from their own past and incorporating them into the current Memoria. This seems to occur in times of heightened emotion, and the newly formed being dissipates when their originator calms down.[4]
Their name is likely a reference to the Akashic records (アカシックレコード, Akashikku Rekōdo?), a compendium of everything that ever has or will occur. Mukashic Records is written with nearly the same kanji, with the difference, replacing Akashi (アカシ?) with Mukashi (ムカシ?), implying that it focuses on the past, as mukashi roughly translates to "former" or "olden days".
In the English version of One Piece Odyssey, they're called Olassic Cubes and Olassic Records respectively.
Large Mukashic Cube[]
The Large Mukashic Cube (オオムカシックキューブ, Oo Mukashikku Kyūbu?) is, as the name implies, a large Mukashic Cube located in the Tower of Heaven. It was used by the Divine Breath to store the information it learns, and stored the "brain" of the Divine Breath. It is the source of all Mukashic and Memoria Cubes, and can turn Mukashic Cubes into the memory they transcribe. Prior to its destruction, it was kept floating in a protective container.[4] Alongside the Divine Breath, it acts as the main antagonist of the One Piece Odyssey expansion Reunion of Memories.
In the English version of One Piece Odyssey, it is called the Large Olassic Cube.
History[]
Past[]
At some point in the past, Rita Suerte stored her memories in a Memoria to create the Sky Priestess' trial.
One Piece Odyssey[]
After having their memories removed by Lim, the Straw Hat Pirates traveled through their past adventures in Memoria.
Reunion of Memories[]
Having awoken from its slumber, the Large Mukashic Cube forced the Straw Hats into modified Memoria, intent on studying their reactions. It was ultimately destroyed by the Straw Hats, while the state of Memoria as a whole is unknown.
