Stark was so powerful that no one could approach him, so he subconsciously split his power into another being to relieve his loneliness. Zaraki likely did something similar if for different reasons.

We know that he unconsciously began locking away his power after he fought Unohana so that he could draw out and enjoy fights. Yachiru might've been created by Zaraki or even his Zanpakuto to contain that power, which is why she seemingly disappeared when Zaraki awakened his full strength. I

no

please no

Yachiru has her own, separately named Zanpakutou with its own unique power.

Yachiru existed before she even met Kenpachi.

Yachiru didn't show up after Kenpachi deactivated his full Shikai.

She is not part of his power.

Just no.

Then explain why:

1. As Zaraki activated his Zanpakuto, Yachiru has a flashback of her first meeting with him where the discussion involved their mutual lack of a name.

2. Yachiru disappeared after the activation of Nozarashi, leaving behind her clothing. The only time something like this has happened is when a soul was 'destroyed' during Aizen's experiments 100 years ago, which implies that Yachiru's physical form has ceased to exist entirely.

So why would she disappear when Zaraki finally achieved his full power if she had no connection to that power?

As for your objections:

1. Yachiru has a 'zanpakuto'. And? A Zanpakuto is just an Asauchi that has bonded with the wielder. Even if Yachiru was created as a 'container' for Zaraki's power, there is no reason why she wouldn't have been able to have her own Zanpakuto.

2. She did not. In the manga, her first appearance is when she met Kenpachi. That is the only part of her backstory we know. Nothing else has been revealed about her origins in the manga. She 'appeared' on a battlefield and all she knew was 'blood', then she met Kenpachi and he gave her a name.

4. Kenpachi's Zanpakuto has always been a 'constant release' type. Simply because it reverted back to it's previous form doesn't mean it's been deactivated, sealed, or weakened.
