The manipulation of time and events plays a crucial role in Light Yagami's overall strategy and plans in the anime "Death Note." By carefully planning and manipulating time, Light is able to outmaneuver his opponents, create alibis, and execute his actions without raising suspicion. Additionally, by controlling events and timing his moves strategically, Light is able to shape outcomes to his advantage, ultimately advancing his goal of creating a new world order with himself as the supreme ruler.
