The other day I found myself needing some information on the arrangements of Taichiās home for a project Iām working on. Obviously I could have just made up arrangements myself because for my cause it wouldnāt even matter that much but it wouldnāt be me if I didnāt try for canon compliance. I figured maybe someone else was thinking the same before me so I did some research and actually found some takes on this topic.
Taichiās and Hikariās bedroom arrangements by @taikarisā
Yagami residenceĀ āAdventureā edition by @analyzingadventure
Yagami residenceĀ āOur War Gameā edition by @analyzingadventure
(I didnāt find much more but if you know of anything please let me know, Iām really curious about this topic.)
Seeing these takes on the living arrangements already reveal a lot inconsitencies within the show and being the obsessed-by-accuracy person that I am I couldnāt help but think āI just make a blue print. How hard can this be?ā (Little did I know!)Ā
I ended up taking 153 screenshots throughout Adventure, Adventure 02, tri., and Our War Game, sorted them by which direction theyāre facing, and studied the one plan of the main room we are given thanks to tri. thoroughly. This will be lengthy but if you want to join me on the way to my version of the floor plan keep reading under the cut. If youāre bored already just click and scroll to the very end where youāll find the result of this exquisite waste of time.
The Yagami apartment designs in episode 21 and Our War Game are drastically different from the rest of Adventure and 02 because Mamoru Hosoda directed them, and tri. seems to have used that same design as 21 and OWG used.
SO
While this post has a lot of good information about the designs in Digimon Adventure episode 21, Our War Game, and tri., it is incredibly inaccurate to the rest of Adventure and 02.
Searea Apartments
Most Digimon fans already know that the Yagami apartment is based on a real-life location. The apartment complex, which consists of about half a dozen different buildings, is called Searea Apartments.
The big building in the middle is the one always shown when there are flashes of the apartment complex from a distance. It can be assumed this is the building where the Yagamis live.
There are discrepancies that could mean they live in one of the other buildings in the complex instead, but there are many discrepancies in regards to which direction the Yagami apartment faces. There are moments in Adventure where you can see the ferris wheel from the balcony and moments where you can see it from the front door, so the orientation of the apartment itself is not agreed upon by the staff.
As far as the buildings themselves, there aren't many differences between the real-life Searea Apartments and the apartment complex in Digimon, but the only thing that really stands out to me is that they gave the building a couple extra floors in Digimon - possibly so that the Yagamis' apartment is an entirely fiction apartment. The Yagamis live in apartment 1306 and it is on the second to highest floor, and those two top floors do not exist in real life.
Yagami Apartment in Digimon Adventure
When Toei released the 15th Anniversary Blu-rays of Adventure and 02, there were settei booklets of each series. The Adventure settei includes floor plans of all of the Chosen Children's homes.
Below is the Yagami apartment floor plan:
The Yagami apartment is labeled as a 2LDK+S, meaning there are two bedrooms, a living room, a dining room, a kitchen, and a storage room. The second bedroom (that is missing in episode 21, OWG & tri.) is labeled as the parents' bedroom, and the small storage room in front of the kitchen (also absent in 21, OWG & tri.) is labeled as "free space" and is about the width of three tatami mats. Neither of those rooms are ever shown in any media (which is why they are completely empty in this floor plan).
The storage room door is shown here in Adventure episode 31 when Taichi first returns home:
The Yagami apartment is shown five times total in episodes 21, 31, 32, 34, and 35, and episode 21 is the only episode that removes the parents' bedroom and storage room. These very obvious discrepancies, much like in OWG, are because of Mamoru Hosoda's direction. Kakudou has stated that there are things in OWG that are not canon to Adventure itself (e.g. Sora's birthday), and I wouldn't be surprised if these alterations to the Yagami apartment are among them.
Yagami Apartment in Digimon Adventure 02
The Yagami apartment is shown a few times in 02...
We see Taichi's bedroom primarily in episodes 17 and 38, though there are a few other glimpses throughout the series:
We see the Yagami living area in one episode and one episode alone, episode 7 when Iori has to call Taichi to tell him that Hikari is trapped in the Digital World and needs help:
This first image, where Taichi is speaking on the phone with Iori, is included in the OP, but Taichi's arm actually blocks the third door along that side of the room. In the second image, you can catch a glimpse of the bathroom door when he hangs up the phone.
And we see Hikari's bedroom in a few episodes. Here are pics from episodes 6 and 43:
The biggest issue with all of this is that Hikari's new bedroom basically appears out of nowhere. We can assume based on the orientation of her room that she now sleeps in what was previously labeled as the parents' bedroom, but that leaves Mr. and Mrs. Yagami with nowhere to sleep (aside from a tiny storage room lol).
It makes sense for Hikari to have her own bedroom now that she is about to hit puberty, but there is genuinely no way for everyone who needs a bedroom to have one in the 2LDK they currently live in. The most logical solution to this is for them to have moved to a different apartment in the same complex that has three bedrooms sometime between OWG and 02, but there is no indication of them having moved, especially considering the interior design of their furniture and wall hangings is (almost?) exactly the same.
Other Apartment Comparisons
OP specifically talks about how Meiko lives in the same apartment complex to compare their apartment designs, as the first tri. movie shows her moving into an adjacent building in the same complex.
BUT
I don't think I've ever seen anyone talk about how Daisuke's family also lives in the same apartment complex. This is never explicitly said in 02, but it is very obvious in certain moments...
In episode 7, when Taichi and Yamato meet up after getting phone calls from Iori, they are clearly standing by one of the Searea buildings.
At first glance, this looks like it's the same two buildings that Koushirou runs between to reach Taichi's apartment at the beginning of OWG, but the building on the right doesn't have the balcony design, so it might not be part of the apartment complex. While they're talking about how someone has to tell Daisuke's family that he'll be home late, Taichi and Yamato look up toward the building on the left behind Yamato, which is definitely one of the Searea buildings.
And in episode 45, when Shuu drops everyone off at their respective apartments, it shows each apartment building/complex immediately before or after showing them getting dropped off. The Searea Apartments are shown between Hikari and Daisuke getting dropped off, and the apartment building Shuu walks away from after dropping off Daisuke has the exact same balcony design as Searea.
Besides the exterior, the interior of the Motomiya apartment is also almost exactly the same design as the Yagami apartment.
I'm borrowing some pics from @reliablejoukido because they already compiled excellent analyses of the Chosen Children's home interiors. I highly recommend you check those out if you haven't yet. The images used here specifically come from their analyses of the Yagami and Motomiya residences for side-by-side comparisons.
The LDK portion is almost exactly the same, right down to the blue tile in the kitchen. The only real difference is that the Yagami apartment has a window on the right side of the kitchen and the Motomiya apartment does not. This means that, in the Motomiya apartment, the room between the front door and the kitchen is big enough to be someone's bedroom (and is actually, funnily enough, marked with a sign that specifically says "my room"). With that name plate, it seems most likely that it's Jun's bedroom, but it could also be the parents'.
Even Taichi's and Daisuke's bedrooms are in the same exact room...
The only real difference between their bedrooms is that Daisuke has a window by his bed while Taichi does not, which only indicates where their apartments are in the building itself.
There are occasional inconsistencies. There's one episode where it seems the Motomiyas have entirely rearranged their living room so that the couch and TV have switched sides but the wall decorations have stayed the same, as shown below:
The image on the bottom left is from the episode in question. It looks like the couch is suddenly on the side next to the bedrooms since there's no door on the wall where the couch normally is.
Aside from this one episode, the Motomiya apartment consistently matches the Yagami apartment design and orientation.
In conclusion...
There is no way to fix the huge discrepancy between how the Yagami apartment is shown in Adventure and 02 and how it's shown in episode 21, OWG, and tri. There are too many obvious design differences to brush either off as a simple error.
My personal preference is to consider Adventure and 02 and their animation direction as primary sources, but Toei has on multiple occasions called the Digimon Adventure verse a tree with different branches of canon. They say that no source is more correct than any other regardless of continuity issues.
So basically, use whichever design you prefer. Or neither. Anything can be canon in your heart š

Translation problems in the official English subs for Kizuna
Weāre thankfully in an era where Digimon is getting official localizations again, and with muchĀ better quality than we used to, but, unfortunately, Kizunaās official English subtitles have problems that are detrimental to the movie. (Even worse, the official English dub is obviously based off the same mistranslated script, so a lot of its issues are carried over.) Itās not to say that the movie canāt still be enjoyed well enough or understood with it, but this is a fast-paced 90-minute movie that relies on a lot of nuance in key lines, and itās not like we havenāt already had issues with things with a more oblique storytelling style getting accused of beingĀ ādifficult to understandā orĀ āincomprehensibleā due to the impact of a less-than-ideal translation (hi, Hurricane Touchdown and X-Evolution).
In this post, Iām going to point out some of the more glaring translation issues in said official release and why they pose a problem. Note that I still endorse supporting the official localized release if you can ā itās very important that we still show our support for Digimon products having demand outside Japan, especially subtitled, and I also feel weāve still come a longĀ way from the time when official Digimon subtitles used to be borderline bootleg tier ā but Iām writing this post as important reference so people are aware of the translation issues if they need to do deeper analysis of the movieās dialogue. Note that the Dash X Bunko edition of the novel has the movieās dialogue transcribed effectively word-for-word, so I suggest referring to this translation of itĀ if you would like to reference a more accurately translated version of the dialogue.
