I'm not trying to dismiss your theory or anything, but I don't see why I shouldn't highlight the points that do not convince me, also considering it might be due to me misunderstanding what you are saying. If I sounded rude, I apologize, mine was meant to be constructive criticism. Technically, that Bakudou should repel only Kidou and only until level 89, not also physical attacks or other abilities (though it did stop Zommari's "Amor"). I'll try to express myself better this time: since the powers of a Zanpakutou should be all related, it seems a bit weird that Yachiru's allows her to become invisible, since its main power seems to be the creation of those two monsters mimicking her movements; even if she can make them invisible, this does not mean she can do it as well (I mentioned Byakuya because I would find it rather perplexing), and the fact that she should discard her clothes seemed very unusual. The illusions are either the main power of a Shikai or the action on the surrounding environment of an elemental Zanpakutou.

I'm not saying I'm right: first, Yachiru might have achieved Bankai, since she activates her Shikai without a command, and invisibility (or teleportation) might be among its powers, or even among those of the Shikai; I only could not understand why she would willingly disappear after Zaraki defeated the enemy (her bones were cookie, so it's unlikely she fled before) and began searching for her, but there are many possible explanations; second, there are many holes in my theory as well, such as "Why would Yachiru materialize herself if Zaraki could only perform an incomplete Shikai?", or "Why hasn't anyone ever noticed?".
