Set 8213
As of 1 April 2016[update], nineteen six-car sets (numbered 8211 to 8249) are in service, formed as shown below, with car 1 at the Umeda end. Four cars are powered.[2]
| Car No. | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Designation | Tc1 | M1' | M | M | M' | Tc2 |

Cars 2 to 5 each have one lozenge-style pantograph.[2]
Four sets break the numbering rule as shown above; sets 8213, 8221, 8523 and 8235, due to random cars from random sets being inserted into these four sets to replace cars scrapped due to heavy damage from the quakes, along with the insertion of some new-build cars in these sets.[citation needed]
All six cars are original-build cars.
