I was under the impression that when a shinigami dies, his/her Zanpakutō is broken.. it was always shocking to see a favorite character, a shinigami, become mortally damaged in battle.. But until the character's Zanpakutō broke apart did I ever truly worry the shinigami had died..

So my 0.02$: if a shinigami dies, his / her Zanpakutō fractures irrevocably as well..

Again, just my two cents..
