Kisuke's Blood Mist Shield is quite similar to Bakudo #81, Danku.

Well, turning invisible is a form of optic illusion which is a well established Zanpakutou ability; both Aizen & Hirako make use of it. In fact, even Hitsugaya's Lingering Ice Puppet Bankai ability is in that category.

I'm not sure why invisibility as a Zanpakutou ability would put you off, unless you're set on dismissing other theories to defend your own? I try to keep an open mind and I'm not by any means convinced that the theory I contributed is what actually happened. I'm just saying that I think it more likely than the theory that Yachiru is Kenny's Zanpakutou spirit. :)
