In episode 5 of Oregairu S2, Hachiman enlists Zaimokuza's aid in getting Iroha
elected president. Zaimokuza then goes on to give Hachiman an earful about how
he doesn't want to be the fall guy for the scheme and how Hachiman had better
take responsibility, and all of that.

But what role did Zaimokuza even have in the scheme? It looked to me like
Hachiman did all the work in setting up the Twitter accounts and pulling the
bait-and-switch.

question
oregairu
What was Zaimokuza's role in Hachiman's scheme to elect Iroha?


I don't really remember how the anime showed it, but in the light novel
Hachiman and Zaimokuza both split up the Twitter accounts between them. Then
the night before the day that Hachiman shows the printouts to Irohasu, he had
actually called Zaimokuza to change the accounts' display name and images to
"Isshiki Iroha Grassroots Account". Understandably Zaimokuza was not very
enthusiastic about it, and only agreed after he was convinced that he wouldn't
be blamed for it.

That phone call is right in the beginning of chapter 8 of volume 8. So yeah
the 'switch' part wasn't done by Hachiman himself. He did take the printouts
later though.
