The manipulation of time and circumstance plays a crucial role in Light Yagami's plans and schemes by allowing him to carefully orchestrate events to his advantage. By controlling when and how certain actions take place, Light is able to manipulate outcomes to achieve his goals with precision. Time manipulation also allows him to create alibis, frame others for crimes, and maintain his secret identity as Kira. Additionally, by carefully planning the timing of his actions, Light can stay steps ahead of his adversaries and maintain the upper hand in his pursuit of power and control.
