Derp have not we been over this?

Someones zanpakuto can't be used by other people.

The best they can do is pick it up and swing it at a target but they would not be able to use any of its attacks like Ennetsu Jigoku or Tensō Jūrin or even Renji's shikai's whip even though it is a basic melee shikai.

A persons zanpakuto is born with them and they die with them. Barring of course their bankai being stolen by a Quiniy. But that is just bankai their zanpakuto spirit that is still with them does die.

Ryujin Jakka is dead. RIP, 6 feet under, bit the dust, etc. All that is in the 1st divisions barracks is its body.

Yes but it was stolen and tied to Driscoll that is diffenct.

If someone could just walk up and take someone elses zanpakuto and use it correctly why didn't Shūhei Hisagi release Senbonzakura when BOTH Shuhei and Senbonzakura had the stalker guy inside them thus turning both against Byakuya?

The fact he didn't is proof that someone can not use another persons zanpakuto even if the zanpakuto is on the same side has the person that picked it up.

All Nimaiya does is forge the Asauchi which is then imprinted with the zanpakuto spirit of their master/owner. Then that nameless Asauchi becames the zanpakuto in the case of this thread Ryujin Jakka.
