Actually, it's strongly implied in the manga (and outright confirmed in the novels) that Yachiru was in fact Nozarashi all this time. Just because she's a Zanpakuto does not make her any less real, you know. The guy has such a good time cutting people to pieces it is like he is a little kid at Disneyland for the first time. Yachiru has her own shikai and bankai. She is an actual reaper not a imaginary or zanpaktou spirit
