The manipulation of fate and destiny plays a significant role in Light Yagami's plans in the anime series "Death Note." Light, after obtaining the Death Note, a supernatural notebook that allows him to kill anyone by writing their name in it, believes himself to be a god-like figure who can control life and death. He manipulates fate and destiny by using the Death Note to eliminate those he deems as criminals, thus attempting to create a world where he is the ultimate judge and ruler. Light's manipulation of fate ultimately leads to his downfall as he becomes consumed by power and hubris.
