The CW officially wrapped up its post-apocalyptic sci-fi series The 100 after 100 episodes. The show was never one to hold back in terms of delivering emotional moments and it certainly wasn't shy when it came to killing off pivotal characters. In fact, many of the deaths totally changed things about the show as a whole.
The characters in this series were a complex bunch, with many doing seemingly unforgivable things. Still, fans found reasons to love them. That made it so some of the deaths crushed viewers. They were heartbreaking losses whether it was because of who they happened to, who they affected, or how they perished.
10 Finn Collins
It seems like forever ago that Finn Collins (Thomas McDonell) was around. He died during season two and by that point, the loss of the character wasn't exactly the heartbreaking part. After all, in his desire to find Clarke (Eliza Taylor), he massacred over a dozen unarmed Grounders.
His death was justice. However, it's kind of sad to look back on it. Clarke stepped in and mercy killed Finn, taking him out before he would be tortured by Grounders. This marked the first real time that Clarke had to do something like that, seemingly ending her innocence and putting her on the path to become Wanheda.
9 Bellamy Blake
Look, a death can be both heartbreaking and frustrating at the same time. It is pretty clear that fans were displeased with the way Bellamy Blake's (Bob Morley) storyline in the final season went. He turned his back on his friends to believe in something he had only just learned about.
It came down to Bellamy threatening Madi's safety. Clarke couldn't let that happen and she pleaded with Bellamy not to do it. When he refused, she gunned him down. It was crushing to see that Clarke had to end the life of her best friend to protect her daughter.
8 Marcus Kane
The tale of Marcus Kane (Henry Ian Cusick) is actually a pretty sad one. He started the show as someone who was all about the "greater good" and was behind The Culling that sacrificed hundreds. He grows into someone the audience trusted and loved, so his passing hurt.
On his death bed, Abby had him reborn using the Mind Drive in the body of a younger man named Gavin. Of course, Kane never wanted this and chose to die rather than live that way. He opted to be floated by Indra (Adina Porter). Abby's reaction made it much harder to deal with.
7 Maya Vie
To be fair, Maya Vie (Eve Harlow) didn't matter to fans on the level of the other entries. In fact, a lot of them believed that she was faking some of her feelings for Jasper (Devon Bostick) and agreed with the folks at Mount Weather for most of her tenure.
However, her death marked a huge turning point for the show. She was killed along with the rest of Mount Weather when Clarke and Bellamy flushed radiation through the facility. It was sad to see her die but also crushing to know what it did to Jasper. He became depressed and eventually committed suicide because of it.
6 Abby Griffin
Abigail Griffin (Paige Turco) was the protagonist of the Ark section of the show in season one. Not only was she Clarke's mother but she also played a maternal role for Raven Reyes (Lindsey Morgan) and acted as a leader in many different situations. She was a caring figure, through and through.
Even though Madi wasn't her blood granddaughter, she treated her as such and became a Nightblood in season six to protect her. That led Russell Lightbourne (JR Bourne) using her body as a host for his wife Simone. Abby dying is tough enough on its own but the fact that her own daughter had to be the one to float her was devastating.
5 Charmaine Diyoza
When Charmaine Diyoza (Ivana Miličević) first appeared on The 100, nobody would've believed they'd be sad about her death. She was a terrorist and the antagonist for a lot of season six. She went on to form a bond with Octavia Blake (Marie Avgeropoulos) and fans turned a bit.
They really started to like her in season seven when she got to meet her grown-up daughter Hope (Shelby Flannery). So, it hurt badly to see Diyoza sacrifice herself to save Hope and her friends. She was crystallized by Gen-9 and Hope could do nothing to save her.
4 Emori
Similar to Diyoza, Emori (Luisa D'Oliveira) is someone you didn't expect to love at first. The Nomadic Grounder met John Murphy (Richard Harmon) and felt more like a passing flirt than anything else. She ended up playing a big role from season four onwards.
Emori and Murphy had one of the show's best relationships. They always survived together and looked out for each other. So, when she died in the series finale, it was truly disheartening, especially to see Murphy's reaction. He resurrected her using his own body as a host and they both got to transcend in the end, which lessened the blow a bit.
3 Lexa
If you had to list the most beloved characters in The 100, Lexa (Alycia Debnam-Carey) would rank right near the top. The Commander of the Grounders, she was tough as nails and eventually formed a romantic bond with Clarke that fans still 'ship' to this day. Her death upset many viewers, especially due to how it happened.
Lexa wasn't given a major sendoff. After sharing her bed with Clarke for the first time, she was accidentally shot and killed off. The show was heavily criticized for how it handled things. This was sad but it probably made people angry more than anything else.
2 Lincoln
In the eyes of many, Octavia Blake was the most complex character with the most growth in the series. A major part of that was her relationship with Lincoln (Ricky Whittle), a Trikru Grounder who helped her become who she is by the end of the story. Their love was strong enough to help him recover from being a Reaper.
Charles Pike (Michael Beach) took control and viewed all Grounders as enemies. To save the other locked up Grounders, Lincoln stayed in captivity and was brutally executed by Pike as a helpless Octavia watched from afar. Everything about the scene was designed to break your heart.
1 Monty Green & Harper McIntyre
Technically this is two entries but they died together and belong as one. Monty Green (Christopher Larkin) was arguably the show's only true good guy, always trying to do what was right and be better. His romance with Harper McIntyre (Chelsey Reist) was one that fans adored.
At the end of season five, everyone went into cryosleep and these two were meant to stay up a bit longer so Monty could figure out the next move. Clarke and Bellamy were awoken over a century later and shown a video detailing how the couple never went to sleep. They lived out their lives until old age together and had a son, before ultimately coming up with the plan to save them all. It was a beautiful ending but also a sad one for two of the show's best people.
