I didn't understand the scenario where Yagami Light relinquishes ownership of
his Death Note for the first time.

He trusted Rem to give it to such a person who would have traits like that of
Kyosuke Higuchi.

What if that plan had not worked? Didn't the entire plan hinge on Rem's choice
of the person?

Did Yagami Light take a risk while handing over the Death Note to Rem?


People are predictable. Especially if you know one's personality in advance,
you can almost accurately predict what one might do with great power, such as
the Death Note.

Light is far from stupid, he knew exactly what would happen. He knew he'd use
the Death Note to achieve a higher status, and that his and L's team would
come and investigate. All a part of clearing their own name.

Basically, Light knew exactly what he was doing. Very little was left to
chance in his plan.

Yes. He did take a risk. But he knew his plan will all work, and it did. He
knew how people will react and what he'll do next just basing with a person's
personality because he is genius and smart (but he used it for bad acts,
though). Think about it, he even knew what he'll do himself if he loses all of
his memories about the Death Note and I guess knowing oneself is the most
difficult thing to do, so judging and knowing what other people will do in a
particular situation would be easier for him.
