Distant memories is a Keyblade that appears in Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories, Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, Kingdom Hearts II, Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, Kingdom Hearts III Re: Mind and Kingdom Hearts Re: coded. The keychain is like the crown on Sora's necklace, only in black.
Design
Distant Memories has a similar shape to the Realm Chain, although it is black in color and has a longer range. The handguard is composed of two bat wings extending downward. The teeth are in the form of the kanji for "dark" (暗). The symbol on the keychain is a black version of Sora's crown necklace. A chain design runs across the entire blade. The diamond on its hilt also resembles that of the diamonds in the original Hollow Bastion logo. When Distant Memories are summoned in Kingdom Hearts II, he is surrounded by black smoke and purple sparks.
The name in English of Distant Memories (Oblivion), means a "state of forgetfulness or to have forgotten", and its Japanese name has the same basic meaning. Forgetfulness is often associated with the memories that have passed (hence the Spanish name), for example, when Sora reaches the top floors of the Castle of Oblivion, or when Roxas begins to forget Xion after his death.
