Kenpachi was interacting with his Zanpakuto and achieving Shikai before  he returned, why would she only then disappear after he activated it against Gremmy?? How often do Zanpakuto spirits have their own Zanpakuto?? A Zanpakuto spirit is something belonging to the wielder, an extension of them, they are part of one another!! So you are saying Zaraki has two Zanpakuto spirits inside of him with absolutely no proof!! How often do Zanpakuto have the ability to wear clothes, to change their clothes??

Everything you are saying is complete speculation!!

As for being Like Starrk and Lilynette well you couldn't be more wrong!! They were originally one being before splitting into two beings and were fully aware of this happening!! She had a blade but she did not have her own Resurrecion which is what you are stating can happen with no piece of proof!! Also, they were one being, a single being, she is not his blade, they are each others, he even admitted himself that they don't know if Starrk or Lilynette was the true origin!! So yeah no where near the same thing!!

Flashbacks happen, all the time, neither Zaraki or Yachiru had names they both came from a run down area of the Rukongai where fighting and neglect happened all around!! I could easily say it is fitting for for her to reflect upon a time when neither of them had a name due to the fact he has now unleashed something that has a name that wasn't chosen by him for them both!!

In order to release a Shikai you need to meet your spirit and interact with your spirit and we saw the spirit reaching out for Zaraki!! and yet if Yachiru was the spirit why wouldn't he thus recognize her?? The spirit has to tell the Shinigami its name, otherwise he cannot use its power??

None of us knows what has happened to her, Gremmy could have removed her from existence for all we know or destroyed her soul like Aizen did!!

What you have is a theory that the established proof thus far in the series does not support at all!! You may be right and Kubo will retcon what Zanpakuto Spirits are but right now, your theory has no basis other than "she had a flashback then disappeared"!!

Also, on the thing where someone said she appeared touching his sword no she crawled over as he watched and touched his leg THEN touched his sword!!
