First of all I did not use Zangetsu as an example. I asked how this case was similar to Zangetsu's case and then proceeded to explain how they do not look similar to me. Also the simplicity of the technique Getsuga Tensho does not make it an invalid example as it is the special ability of Zangetsu just like the chain causing practical immortality is Kazeshini's special ability.

Never once did I claim that shikai names are the true names. I said that shinigamis learn their zanpakuto's special ability before their zanpakuto's true name in all cases we have seen in the manga. Their special ability being the ability of their shikai.

That is an entirely different concept to what I was arguing about. I am not talking about how skilled any shinigami is at using their zanpakuto's special ability. I am talking about just the use of the zanpakuto's special ability (in shikai) which Hisagi seemingly never learned until after getting bankai.
