I don't know if the soul reaper/zanpakuto has to still be alive for the quincy to still able to use it or not though, that's why I put most likely. But I don't think they still have to be alive since Cang Du still had Toshiro's bankai even though Toshiro was a zombie. Now I don't know if being a zombie classifies him as dead or not, but I'm not going to try and figure that out.
