For the record Hachi's kido was mentioned as having been developed after he became a vizard so it isn't bad to assume that it has some insight from his hollow powers and is hollow-like itself as a result, making his comment somewhat vague on whether Orihime's power act with some hollow influence like a fullbringer. Also he probably only meant that her power was like a zanpakuto because she worked with a spirit who's power was defined by her connection with it, which my previous comment explains how that could work in a fullbringer way. I stress that these are just suggestions on my part to try to explain a so far unexplained power and fully acknowledge that there is nothing canon to confirm either way what her power is yet
