I’d been wanting to make something like this for a while, but I had to wait until the drama CD confirmed some things, so, in any case: here’s my attempt at a rough timeline for the events of Kizuna, taking into account the time difference between Tokyo and New York. Some of this requires a bit of a stretch (the Eosmon battle has to effectively take place in a really narrow ~6 PM/5 AM window of time for the sky conditions to make sense), but I think ultimately everything here should roughly track.
We know the July 20 date because of the news article that Taichi reads in class, so everything else here works with that as a baseline.
July 21 had some pretty awful overcast skies and rain in Tokyo, so I had to make some rough guesses at time of day (mainly using the 02 quartet’s clearer skies in New York as a reference).
The drama CD establishes that Daisuke and co. being in New York was a fully planned multi-day trip; the date of planning is ambiguous, but it naturally must have been sometime before July 19. Given the above timeline, it’s likely that the 02 quartet not participating in the Nakano battle with Parrotmon nor in the group chat in To Sora despite clearly being on call, and the reason Miyako decided she needed to “dump” Menoa’s request on Koushirou, was because they were all too busy preparing for this trip.
Because Takeru and Hikari are established by said drama CD to also have been planned to join the trip on the “second day”, but were not present on July 19 in New York even late at night, it’s likely that July 19 was their date of arrival in New York and July 20 that planned “second day” – which was, sadly, derailed when they got kidnapped. Given the timing of when their kidnapping was discovered, the 02 quartet would likely not have learned about the real reason for their “lateness” until late into July 20 (if they were even informed at all).
Jou’s exact kidnapping time is unknown, but Koushirou says he’s lost contact with Jou around the same time Takeru and Hikari’s kidnapping is discovered.
It’s unclear whether Agumon and Gabumon disappeared on July 22 itself or whether they managed to hang on at least another day or two (hey, you never know!!), so I’ve left it out of the timeline. Piyomon disappeared sometime on July 22, but the exact timing is unknown.
Sora’s flower arrangement presentation, from the end of To Sora, is held on July 29; Taichi’s graduation (from the credits) is in fall, and the movie’s epilogue in spring 2011.
