Eitakuzomi is the poly ship between Eito Aotsuki, Takumi Sumino, and Nozomi Kirifuji from the The Hundred Line fandom.
Canon[]
Up until Day 95 on Route 0, Eito, Takumi, and Nozomi were friends and "classmates" who fight as allies. The three had very few interactions as a group, but both Eito and Nozomi each had many one-on-one interactions with Takumi.
Takumi and Nozomi[]
When Takumi and Nozomi met in Route 0, Nozomi was a bit offput. Takumi mistook her for his childhood friend Karua, who he was said to have some sort of feelings for, so his "reuniting" came off far too strongly. However, this tension was alleviated rather quickly and the two became friends. Over the course of his first hundred days, Takumi gradually mentally separated Karua and Nozomi. That was until Nozomi died on the battlefield. She remembered Takumi from before either arrived at Last Defense Academy in her final moments, even referring to him by a childhood nickname Karua used.
After going back to the past in Last Defense Academy 2nd Scenario, Takumi then learned that Karua was a figment of his memories. Who he thought was a real childhood friend was actually the introjection of the young Nozomi who watched him in the hospital he was raised in. In other words, Karua had been a false memory based on the real Nozomi all along. At the end of his second hundred days, Takumi's and Nozomi's roles were reversed and Takumi died on the battlefield in the same manner Nozomi had before. In other routes, Takumi was heavily implied to have feelings for Nozomi and/or Karua. In the Coming-of-Age Route, Nozomi even returned his feelings with an interrupted love confession.
Takumi and Eito[]
Takumi and Eito had a good start to their relationship. Having poor social skills, Eito immediately bombarded Takumi with questions upon meeting him, including asking if he was seeing anyone. Takumi didn't mind and reassured him. From then on, the two became quite close. He visited Takumi's room just to tell him nice things on multiple occasions, repeatedly singled him out as special, interesting, and a good friend, and stood up for him whenever others doubted him. In the dating sim-esque hallucination on Day 87, Yugamu pointed out Eito's feelings for Takumi, which he denied, flustered. Eito was also labeled as Takumi's most trusted ally in his character profile.
Though Eito was revealed to be a traitor on Day 95 and in the following routes, he still showed a unique appreciation for Takumi. His cognitive disorder causing him to hate humans, or what he thought were humans, seemed to make a slight exception for Takumi in multiple routes. On the path to the Living Idol ending in particular, Eito raised Takumi to a level above human and declared his love to him. In various other routes, the two hung out in cages side-by-side, complimented each other under fireworks, and even shared a body.
Eito and Nozomi[]
These two share almost no interactions in canon, but both have similar roles in relation to Takumi. The two also have several parallels in their backstory. Eito and Nozomi both have memories of growing up isolated in the hospital. While Eito was born with a cognitive disorder, Nozomi was her mother's test subject. Eito hates humanity because of that bad luck, but Nozomi loves humanity even though the bad things happening to her were their fault.
Fanon[]
This poly ship has a few pieces of fanart across Twitter and Tumblr, with many more art pieces and fanfiction depicting two out of the three. .Two of Takumi's most popular ships pair him with Eito and Nozomi, so people who like both of these pairings may ship Eitakuzomi as a love triangle. In the fandom, there is a joke that "Takumi has a clear type of person he likes" particularly because both Eito and Nozomi have white/light-colored hair and some other similar traits.
