Perhaps his Zanpakuto's abillity is to change into diferant weapons based on need?

Though the command wouldn't make sense then.

Or maybe the new eye-patch lets him control his power enough to seal his Zanpakuto now, because knowing it's name shifted his shikai into it's true form.(which is too big to lug around all the time)
