Zaraki, when he made those statements, neither knew its name nor could hear its voice, so he couldn't even do that. Just want to step in and clarify that we're not comparing Kenpachi to Yumichika because we think that their Zanpakuto operate the same way, we're just doing so because Yumichika is proof that not all Zanpakuto can work the same way in terms of being released.
