Light strategically uses the Death Note to control the time of death of his victims, creating circumstances that benefit his goals of creating a new world order and eliminating crime. By manipulating both time and circumstances, Light is able to maintain a facade of innocence while advancing his agenda of becoming the god-like figure known as Kira.
