After researching these names on ANN and AniList, nearly all of them are familiar. Regular staff members Yoji Sato and Shingo Uchida are returning to direct and storyboard this episode respectively. This episode will show a particular moment that is recently circulating around the internet as a meme (I found out about this a few days ago).

No Atsushi Kobayashi? That's kind of a bummer, but still the PV images look awesome. Eagerly waiting for peak 👏

There's a possibility he might work on ep 23. That shot of the handshake (to me) screams Kobayashi considering he always prioritises really detailed hands.

actually the mangaka of the Vinland Saga said that according to him, the hands are the most interesting visual character traits, so he usually draws hands with really great detail. So anime is doing nothing but capturing that same essence. I just have hugh respect for the VS staff, especially shuhuei Yabuta and Kobayashi...

You're not wrong about that. However, the frequency of detailed hands in S2 is a lot higher than that of S1. The first instance of detailed hands in S1 was Episode 14, in which Kobayashi storyboarded AND directed.
