To note, I reviewed chapter 521 and it seemed more like someone else who, relatively speaking had only just joined the royal guard, used an over simplification when describing Nimaiya and nowhere does he himself state to my knowlege that he made anything but the asauchi, even on this wiki it states that he is credited with the creation of the zanpakuto rather than saying he said this about himself. It's probably pointless to get into whether another vastly junior royal guard member can speak for possibly the oldest member but I just wanted to clarify
