Well, we know that Zangetsu is its real name, and that Getsuga Tensho is a real Zanpakuto technique, since Isshin also uses it, so you can't dismiss it all as something his Quincy power had invented. Besides, even if Renji's Shikai and Bankai were incomplete, he was still using the same Zanpakuto, so why wouldn't it be the same for Ichigo?
