The real manipulator and common manipulation technique

Technically speaking, The real manipulator is not Ayanokoji it's the author of this series. He created Ayanokoji and redefined human boundaries. I think he should write a book on manipulation. It will be a hit. Only those people watch this series who are interested in dark psychology or human nature and they will agree with this point that The most common manipulation tactic that I have seen in many anime and even in real life is to pick up the fallen ones or use their weaknesses and make them fall and emotionally support them like Ayanokoji picked up Ichinose and made Kei suffer and then also supported her. This technique is very effective and they become loyal to you, although manipulation is not for everyone.

True, but Im not entirely sure. Do you think creator of Death Note is smarter than L or Light? He indeed created those characters and the entire plot, but if the DN creator is in Death Note, there's no way he could have figured everything out like L or Near did. Its usually easier to make up stuff on paper, than being in the same situation IRL.


I think the manipulations used in COTE, they are interesting and definitely makes sense, but they aren't that deep. Good that you are giving praises to the author but I don't think the fact that he created COTE makes him good at psychology or manipulation yknow

yeah, in a sense it can be true that author is not smart or master of dark psychology. He can be inspired by a manipulation book or something like that but there are less shows like these and it's manga is even better
