I'm surprised no one has mentioned the possibility that Gin's sword might have an ability that allows it to be used like an urumi ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urumi ) similar to how Renji's Zabimaru works.

@BlazeUchiha - "God Spear" is the direct translation listed on Gin's article. Just FYI.

@Prophet - I agree with your analysis.

@WhiteArmor - I think you need to reread Chapter -108 again, particularly this page: http://manga.bleachexile.com/bleach-chapter-317-page-16.html =P
