It's possible, that, because Ichigo had his Zanpakuto reforged with an actual Asauchi, it's possible that Zangetsu is still sealed. I say this because Oetsu normally forges Asauchi into katanas, but this time, because Ichigo was present, it came out unique to him. However, I personally am not sold on it, as Ichigo has used two (three, if you count the different colored Getsugas as different techniques) Getsuga techniques, which would be strange if he were still using a sealed Zangetsu. It would also leave a lot of room for Ichigo show off even more power if Zangetsu was still seal though!
