The idea of a zanpakuto not giving its wielder its full power because its wielder not accepting it sounds plausible with the precedent Kubo had set up with other zanpakutos (Ruri'iro Kujaku and Soo Zabimaru) not giving their wielders their full powers because of certain reasons, but those situations involved using the wrong name of the zanpakuto.

Also a zanpakuto spirit only gives its true name to one who is deemed worthy of it by it so how could it give its name to Hisagi if he didn't accept it? To me that seems to be the best reason to not give its true name, it is like the unworthiest trait one could have in this scenario.

The power itself is interesting although I wouldn't have given it to Hisagi. I think being a regular melee type suits the design of Kazeshini better and suits Hisagi's character better.

Sogyo no Kotowari's rope is just as important to its special ability so I don't think this would really squash the debate about Kazeshini being a dual blade zanpakuto.

I don't like that concept for a bankai it sounds like a power that guarantees a draw between opponents which is kind of lame.
