Body Puppetry & Death Manipulation [Sirens]
Sirens are assumed to be able to control one's body physically due to
this scan. For further context, sirens are able to induce emotions,
particularly lust, in those who hear their song. What is interpreted as them puppeteering Kratos' body directly is moreso him acting on his emotions, being driven by his lust to seek out the sirens and presumably have sex with them. This is a common consequence of manipulating one's emotions, as an individual's actions are of course governed by their state of mind; Making someone depressed and causing them to commit suicide, making someone angry and causing them to physically lash out at an ally, or making someone calm and causing them to stop fighting and drop their weapons are all possible examples of empathic manipulation "manipulating" one's physical body, though this is not body puppetry and is, again, merely how the human mind works.
There is, however, the argument that the author specified that Kratos'
body was being affected, so it cannot merely be empathic manipulation. However, describing one's body as acting on its own is a common way of depicting intense feelings of lust and desire in a character, and isn't even incongruent with real life. You can see this depicted in a substantial amount of written erotica, particularly fanfiction (though I will avoid quoting any here for obvious reasons; just know that I am well versed on this matter), and the author is likely aware of this and merely wrote the scene in this way to depict how ravenously horny Kratos is (the phrase "wanting them as he had never wanted another before" makes this clear).
Death manipulation is even more straightforward. The source shows sirens screeching at such a precise pitch that they
made people's heads explode. This is explicitly a form of explosion manipulation, yet it is erroneously listed as death manipulation at the same time. They do not kill through some ability to just make things
die without explanation; The explanation is that they make people's heads explode, which kills them (as things tend to die without their heads [citation needed]). I have read through the various manuals, guidebooks, and novelizations that exist, and none provide support for death hax beyond the instance of sirens blowing people up. This is a simple matter of a mislabeled ability.
Those who are accepted as resisting the effects of sirens (Kratos and Zeus) would lose resistance to these abilities, or at least have the justifications altered so that any references to sirens are removed. Death manipulation would be replaced with explosion manipulation, where applicable.
