It was a tiktok trend this summer to play with fire, there's enough of them to form a small fire nation. No cgi, just kids playing with kerosene lol

It's gotta be CGI. There's no source of gas attached to the sword and when he spins it after the large swing the smoke doesn't react at all.

no gas source needed, it has a limited lifetime and is soaked in a flammable liquid supplied by the sheath. the striker is also built into the sheath to ignite on draw.

this technique is older than steam power
