Not the same. Renji and Yoruichi saw "Zangetsu" because Ichigo was using the Tenshitai to manifest it. And the Tenshitai is visible to others. No one saw Zabimaru but Renji. Cang didn't see Hyourinmaru, and Lille didn't see Katen Kyoukotsu. Kenpachi didn't see "Zangetsu" during his battle with Ichigo. did i mention Zangetsu at any point in my previous comment,the very nature of the tenshitai is it forces the zanpakuto to manifest itself and why would Renji have specifically done it infront of them if they couldn't see it. when Yoruichi was explaining to ichigo the normal requirements she stated based on the fact that he had fought Kenpachi to a draw he was ready to manifest his zanpakuto(in the manga, in the anime she notices the look on ichigo's face when she mentioned manifesting ones zanpakuto and stated based on the look on his face he must have done something similar).
