Manipulation of fear plays a significant role in Light Yagami's control over others in the anime "Death Note." By instilling fear in people through his actions and the power of the Death Note, Light is able to influence their behavior, loyalty, and decision-making. This fear of consequences or death at the hands of Kira (Light's alias) creates a sense of power imbalance and control, allowing Light to achieve his goals and manipulate others to serve his agenda.
