*** Ōetsu Nimaiya's reforging split Zangetsu into two swords, with one being the "scabbard" and the other being the "blade". Ichigo's bankai merges the two Zangetsu into a single Zanpakutō, with the white outer layer being the "scabbard" for the "True Zangetsu" he used to kill Yhwach and was shown wielding in "No Breaths From Hell". Having absorbed the shattered scabbard after Yhwach's defeat, Ichigo can split his Zanpakutō back into two swords at will, but chose not to.

That's just flat out false. [[www.reddit.com/r/bleach/comments/fw8382/comment/fmn0ds9/ Kubo did have a hand in designing Senna]], and Ichika's resemblance to her is even noted to be deliberate, using the same concept and Senna's design being used as an overall base for her.
