EDIT: Actually I remember that the two souls were shown during Ichigo's Bankai training I believe, Yes, the manifestation of Zabimaru was shown during Ichigo's Bankai training, and once earlier just before Renji broke out of his cell to go save Rukia and ended up fighting Byakuya on the way. But both times it was only 1 spirit in the shape of a baboon. That's true, though the tail was the Snakes personality. I think it's pretty cool that Renji now has a Bankai that puts both elements of his Zanpakutou on display.
