By the way, a zanpakutou is destroyed along with its owner upon death since zanpakutou are supposed to be an offshoot of a person's soul, right? However, the Ryujin Jakka, although heavily fragmented, is still there.
And also, oddly, the reverse: Byakuya's sword disappeared completely, which even I had to take as a definitive sign of his passing, yet he's still alive.
