an easy way to look at it is yumichika's sword, by giving it hte wrong command it releases one way and the proper command its real state, yes his zanpakuto was already in a constant release state but by using its proper release phrase and name it assumed its true form just like yumichika's. its not uncommon as even byakuya's senbonzakura has different appearances well in his bankai, senkei, goukei and shuhei hakuteiken, 3 different names causes it to assume 3 different forms while all still are his bankai.
