Takase is surely in Norio's part of the movie and Shinzan guessed him here a while ago. I would tend to agree because it's the only un-confirmed action scene that doesn't fit either Norio/Fujisawa or the digital animation styles of the younger animators in this part (Seki, Kawano etc.). Though keep in mind there's a decent chance the tag is wrong.
Pardon my ramblings, effects from 0:11 to 0:13 (3 cuts) looks more Fujisawa adjacent. I don't think it would "make sense" that Fujisawa did anything here, even if under Matsumoto AD, due to the discrepancy with the other Fujisawa presumes being much more corrected here in terms of timing and anatomy of the character movements. Just found it interesting since I can't really recall Matsumoto doing any effect like that, especially with that timing and shape, maybe the closest thing is that one bit from Shippuden OP6 with Jiraiya.

you're right the effects in the Tsuchikage cuts are pretty similar to Fujisawa, however, beyond the timing which you mentioned, I think the poses would be completely foreign for him. He usually draws arms at or above the shoulder plane - it's way too low here and in pretty much every subsequent frame

Revisiting it, and a couple of the Tsuchikage cuts could be Fujisawa since as Loogi mentioned the smoke is a direct match, the timing and poses are just pretty different for him but its not impossible to just take a different approach every once in a while
As I originally thought, Fujisawa didn't touch this scene whatsoever.
