The 100 has launched a mysterious new enemy in its closing season, however this new civilization remains to be shrouded in thriller. Who precisely are these “Disciples,” and what do they need with our heroes — notably Clarke (Eliza Taylor)?
Clarke (Eliza Taylor) and her crew on planet Alpha got here head to head with their new enemy, certainly one of which referred to as himself and his fellow troopers, “the disciples of a larger fact.” That is additionally what Orlando (Darren Moore) referred to as members of his civilization throughout his 5 years with Echo (Tasya Teles), Gabriel (Chuku Modu), and Hope (Shelby Flannery) on Skyring/Penance.
By way of Orlando, we acquired plenty of vital details about the Disciples’ tradition and historical past. Most clearly, these folks converse English and Orlando knew what a Navy Seal was with out having to be instructed. That is an oddly particular factor for a member of an alien race (or not less than interstellar human race) to know. It reinforces the concept that the Disciples have been initially from Earth, identical to the inhabitants of Sanctum. Although Orlando did not go into an excessive amount of element, he did say that the “Shepherd of all Mankind” delivered their society to Bardo and saved them from the fireplace that consumed the Earth. We’ll go forward and assume that was a reference to the primary Praimfaya, aka Apocalypse One.

The Disciples additionally sound like a really religious civilization, probably even spiritual. Orlando talked about Shepherd’s Legislation Quantity 4, which decrees “the day of relaxation” is one the place everybody abstains from work to be able to be extra environment friendly the remainder of the week. Sounds so much just like the Sabbath, proper? And since Orlando selected to not relaxation, he was sentenced to 10 years on Penance, which lets you know the way significantly breaking these legal guidelines are handled. We additionally know that they’ve some form of degree system inside their tradition that corresponds with the symbols tattooed on their faces. Orlando was a Degree 12, which is likely one of the highest ranges attainable, in response to Hope.
We all know the Disciples are extremely advance primarily based on their tech. Not solely have they harnessed the facility of the Anomaly to create wormholes that enable them to planet-hop, the bodysuits they put on are past futuristic. They function with a command middle primarily based on thought and permit whoever wears them to change into completely invisible on the drop of a hat. That makes tech just like the Flame and thoughts drives appear to be child stuff!

In addition they have M-Cap, aka reminiscence seize, which permits the folks of Bardo to view an individual’s recollections. Although it is not essentially torture, it may be if you happen to battle it, which Octavia (Marie Avgeropoulos) apparently did. This course of explains how the Disciples know a lot about our heroes and will appropriately establish everybody by title. They even know Clarke’s alias is Wanheda.
Most attention-grabbing of all, the Disciples chief, whoever he could also be, believes Clarke is “the important thing to profitable the final struggle mankind will ever wage.” Proper now, it is exhausting to inform if the Shepherd is their present chief, making it a title that’s handed down from individual to individual, or if he was merely the unique determine their faith/tradition was primarily based. We do know the person presently main the Disciples, Anders, would not appear to be the top honcho.
Here’s Everything We Know About The 100 Season 7
There are many theories about who these folks really are, however for now, we’ll give attention to the one which’s presently the frontrunner. This concept presumes that these persons are really the descendants of the Second Daybreak cult from again on Earth in Season 4. Whereas in search of a bunker to assist them survive the second Praimfaya, Clarke and her pals realized a couple of cult that foretold the tip of the world and made plans to outlive it. It was their bunker that Octavia and Wonkru finally settled in to attend out Apocalype 2.
We do not know a lot about what grew to become of the Second Daybreak cult, however we do know they have been on Earh when Becca (Erica Cerra) got here down and began turning survivors into Nightbloods. The cult’s chief, Invoice Cadogan (John Pyper-Ferguson), really burned her on the stake, which we noticed in Madi’s (Lola Flanery) recollections when she took on the Flame.
All of the speak about a Shepherd delivering the Disciples from the fireplace that consumed Earth sounds so much just like the cult rhetoric the Second Daybreak chief, Cadogan spouted method again when. There’s additionally the matter of the Season 7 premiere being titled “From the Ashes,” which was a part of the Second Daybreak’s motto: “From the ashes, we’ll rise.” Lastly, on Nakara, the gang discovered the Second Daybreak’s image on the stays of a Disciple, all however confirming that the cult made it throughout the galaxy in some way.
Might the Disciples really the descendants of the Second Daybreak cult from again in Season 4? Solely time will inform!
The 100 Season 7 premieres Wednesday, Might 20 at 8/7c on the CW.
