You said his shikai. I bolded the part where you said shikai. I couldn't have made it more obvious which release I was talking about. Regardless of whether he was using his shikai or not (clearly he was), he knows it's name "Engetsu" which is only one letter in Japanese off of "Zangetsu" (The E is swapped for Za, obviously). Did we see him release it? Nah. Because it's the same as Ichigos, it's ALWAYS released in its shikai form.
And that isn't even going in to the logical fallacy that Isshin, being able to fight Aizen fairly level with his sword completely sealed, meant he was able to fight him using less than 2% of his full power, yet he didn't even try the first release when he, yoruichi and urahara were about to be killed?
It would also make it the only swords name we know of in the entire series that hasn't shown it's first release form. Extremely unlikely.
