Also after a fresh reread of Bleach. 571 to 580. It still reads as Yachiru was killed in the collateral damage from Kenpachi smashing the meteor and the huge stage falling apart she even has the flashback of her life from the day they met. After the battle Kenpachi finds her torn destroyed lieutenant badge on a shred of her clothing and after looking and calling out to her getting no answer he orders his squad to find her but they say her reiatsu is completely gone guessing she's ran off Kenpachi spazzes yelling find her and then the next battle begins as new Quincy attack.

So she's no zanpakto she's MIA Going by how it is written. But again I say its best to read it yourself as peoples fandom creates skewed theories outside of the manga's storytelling.
