Meaning of まんまと in this sentence


Here is the sentence :

> てめえの罠にまんまとかかってやる。

Does まんまと means that the speaker fell into the trap easily or voluntarily? Or
is the idea that he is willing to fall into the trap only contained in てやる?

Thanks for your time.

EDIT : The speaker says that after being convinced by the hearer (which he
just beat) to let him evolve in order to make the fight interesting. Taking
the risk of becoming weaker than his opponent in the process.




A native reader may have more definitive understanding but my suggestion is to
imagine

(1) the statement with and w/o the adverb and

(2) how the speaker would have said it and what words he might have
emphasised: eg "I let you catch me" vs "I let you catch me _easily_ ", or
perhaps "I neatly (conveniently?) let you catch me".

I think まんまと can be used with 罠にかかる by itself so it adds to the irony of the
speaker's statement, reminding us how we was in control all along. Without the
adverb it becomes very factual, with the adverb we get a better insight into
the speaker's intention, and given the situation, he is likely to use one to
express his feeling.
