The 100 launched a brand new enemy in its finale season, however this new civilization continues to be an enormous thriller to us. Who precisely are these “Disciples” and what do they need?
Clarke (Eliza Taylor) and her crew on planet Alpha lastly got here nose to nose with their new enemy, certainly one of which referred to as himself and his fellow troopers, “the disciples of a larger reality.” 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.
Via Orlando, we bought a variety 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 informed. That is an oddly particular factor for a member of an alien race (or at the least interstellar human race) to know. It reinforces the concept that the Disciples have been initially from Earth, similar 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 non secular. Orlando talked about Shepherd’s Legislation Quantity 4, which decrees “the day of relaxation” is one the place everybody abstains from work as a way to be extra environment friendly the remainder of the week. Sounds quite a bit 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 these legal guidelines are handled. We additionally know that they’ve some sort of stage system inside their tradition that corresponds with the symbols tattooed on their faces. Orlando was a Stage 12, which is without doubt one of the highest ranges attainable, in line with Hope.
We all know the Disciples are extremely advance primarily based on their tech. Not solely have they harnessed the ability 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 seem to be child stuff!

Hope additionally talked about M-Cap, aka reminiscence seize, which we assume permits the folks of Bardo to view your recollections. Although it is not essentially torture, it may be for those who struggle it, which Octavia (Marie Avgeropoulos) apparently did. This might clarify how the Disciples know a lot about our heroes. They accurately recognized everybody by title, they usually even know Clarke’s alias is Wanheda. These are all issues that might have been obtained by reminiscence seize.
Most attention-grabbing of all, the Disciples chief, whoever he could also be, believes Clarke is “the important thing to successful the final battle 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 title of a person in cost referred to as Anders, however we’ll preserve a pin in that for now.
There are many theories about who these folks really, however for now we’ll deal with the 2 frontrunners. The primary idea presumes the folks of Bardo are extra descendants from the Eligius III mission — poor souls who wandered into the Anomaly and wound up on one other planet. Gabriel talked about that the individuals who’ve gone in through the years have by no means come out, so it is doable a few of them realized to correctly navigate the wormholes and based this new civilization.
Here’s Everything We Know About The 100 Season 7
The second most-likely idea is that these individuals are really the descendants of the Second Daybreak cult from again in Season 4. Whereas searching for a bunker to assist them survive the second Praimfaya, Clarke and her buddies realized a few cult that foretold the tip of the world and made plans to outlive it. It is their bunker that Octavia and Wonkru ultimately settled in. All of the speak about a Shepherd delivering the Disciples from the fireplace that consumed Earth sounds quite a bit just like the cult rhetoric the Second Daybreak chief spouted approach 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.”
The 100 Season 7 premieres Wednesday, Might 20 at 8/7c on the CW.
