Light Yagami manipulates events to achieve his goals as Kira by using his intelligence, strategic planning, and the Death Note. He carefully orchestrates situations to eliminate individuals he deems as criminals, creating a world free of wrongdoing according to his own sense of justice. He uses his ability to control the timing and method of death to manipulate events in his favor, often employing deception and manipulation to outwit his opponents and maintain his secret identity as Kira.
