That's like asking how can Kenpachi's Zanpakuto be constantly released when he doesn't know its name in the first place!! Before we ever got to this Arc the consensus has been, based on things stated in the Manga, is that Zaraki's Zanpakuto is always in release state, he just never learnt its name!! Its only now that he has shown a different form of Shikai that people are going mental stating that Zaraki is wrong with absolutely no evidence to support this!! Until he or Kubo says "I made a mistake and this is Zaraki's sealed Zanpkuto" and only if they stated that, it remains how it is as it has already been stated that his Zanpkuto has no seal!!
