I think I watched all fights from the RAW and everything in it, "blood" and sparks, was CGI.

I know what you meant and having seen the full raw and checking before answering you, while yes there is clearly some CGI sparks here and there and the Ganma clearly lose a black liquid that then fades away etc. You can clearly see actual sparks and tiny bursts at times meant to create smoke so its not all CGI, its a combination.

CGI for the Ganma when they take damage makes sense since they are essentially evil spirits, there are some actual sparks in some of the shots when Ghost gets smacked/sliced/stabbed/poked and we will likely have more of that as the show continues.

Some of the sword swings used CGI yes indeed, but there was some sparks that clearly used actual practical effects and doing the smoke in CGI would be a colossal waste of money.
