* SealedEvilInAnotherWorld: Koga Kuchiki was eventually stopped and sealed away by Yamamoto and Koga's father-in-law Ginrei, with his prison hidden in the outskirts of Karakura Town in the world of the living. To ensure that his evil would never resurface, Yamamoto [[UnPerson completely erased Koga's existence from the Soul Society's history books]], to the point where even the head captain's closest and longest-serving subordinates like Kyoraku and Ukitake were kept in the dark about the whole incident.

Toshiro fights Hyorinmaru, his ice-dragon turned amnesiac young man, and manages to convince the guy that he's his wielder by releasing Shikai (much easier said than done with Hyorinmaru gone), and Matsumoto and Hinamori defeat Haineko and Tobiume with kido. Byakuya proves his loyalty to Muramasa by killing Sode no Shirayuki, and a massive Shinigami vs. Zanpakuto battle begins.
In the battle, Ikkaku is able to power past Hozukimaru's bankai and reclaims his sword, as does Yumichika with Ru'iro Kujaku, and Sui Feng defeats Suzumebachi. Kira is almost killed by his Zanpakuto Wabisuke, but this is prevented by Kenpachi Ex Machina. Yup, he and Yachiru are back ([[NoSenseOfDirection they got lost after going hollow-killing]]). Kenpachi helps turn the tide, though he does deprive Kira of his Zanpakuto by killing Wabisuke (oops). Senbonzakura and Byakuya escape under a cover of poison gas provided by Mayuri's Zanpakuto Ashisogi Jizo (who is soon afterwards blown up by his wielder).

Another thing Muramasa lied about was the whole zanpakuto rebellion. Muramasa never really wanted zanpakuto to be free from their masters- he just wanted them to be out there, causing chaos, so he could sneak in and take Ryujin Jakka's power for himself. He was never rebellious, and he did not kill his original master. In fact, he wanted Ryujin Jakka's power to ''free'' his master, Koga Kuchiki, from his seal. Byakuya was helping him in order to free and then kill Koga, who had betrayed their clan.

Something strange is going on in Soul Society. Zangetsu can hear a strange voice that Ichigo cannot. A tall man with strange eye markings and really long fingernails is gathering a group of equally odd fellows for an attack. A group of strangers has confronted Yamamoto and Sasakibe. And, weirdest of all, zanpakuto are going on the fritz somehow. A meeting of all captains and lieutenants (excepting Kenpachi and Yachiru, who are off somewhere) is called to talk about the situation, but before they can get anything done, the long fingernails guy interrupts. His name is Muramasa, and he has an announcement to make: All zanpakuto are rebelling against their masters. Muramasa himself is a zanpakuto spirit, who claims that he has killed his own master.
Chaos ensues as the zanpakuto use their abilities to destroy large parts of Seireitei, and the shinigami are kneecapped by not being able to release their swords (said sword releases being off causing trouble). Komamura is unconscious after his zanpakuto turns on him mid-attack, Yamamoto is nowhere to be found, Byakuya is missing in action, and Rukia is chased into the world of the living by her zanpakuto, Sode no Shirayuki.
Ichigo fights Sode no Shirayuki off, and and he and Rukia return to Soul Society to search for Byakuya and help out in general. Rukia is soon attacked again by Sode no Shirayuki, who declares her newfound freedom, intent to kill everyone Rukia's ever loved, and belief that Rukia's been taking her for granted. Rukia's emotional plea (and self-destructive attack) do seem to get through to her, but before she can do anything, Muramasa comes in and sends her away.
Muramasa then summons Old Man Zangetsu to fight Ichigo for him, which probably would have worked if he hadn't completely misunderstood Ichigo's situation. Ichigo's inner hollow of course takes the opportunity to come out and play, and ''he'' has no trouble whatsoever fighting Zangetsu (plus, he has [[HealingFactor high-speed regeneration]], always a pain in the ass). Ichigo eventually fights off both of his wayward head-demons, but collapses in exhaustion and Muramasa takes the opportunity to bring the fight to Ichigo's inner world, where he faces off against the Inner Hollow directly until Ichigo finally manages to force him back out. Ichigo and his Hollow then manage to work together to defeat Old Man Zangetsu, who tells them that the reason all the zanpakuto are rebelling is because of Muramasa's MoreThanMindControl on them.
Meanwhile, the other Shinigami are facing off against their own swords, and finding that OtherMeAnnoysMe- at ''least''. Hisagi's blade Kazeshini is a complete BloodKnight who sees his purpose as being to reap lives, and Renji's Zabimaru has no respect for him at ''all'' (It probably didn't help that Renji failed to recognize their humanoid form at first). Renji manages to defeat Zabimaru with a combination of kido and trickery, and Kira helps Hisagi escape from Kazeshini.
Ichigo then reports his findings back to the captains, and goes out zanpakuto hunting, in the process revealing that Byakuya is alive and seemingly on Muramasa's side. And at the 12th division, Mayuri makes an important discovery: Zanpakuto will return to their wielders if defeated... but ''only'' if said wielder is the one to defeat them. If not, they're gone forever. All shinigami then set out to beat their zanpakuto and take them back.

* {{Retcon}}:Apparently the chimp part of Zabimaru is female. Though this was explained as Mayuri modifying Renji's zanpakuto at some point.zanpakutou spirit was originally a macaque with a snake for a tail. In this story, they're a woman and a small boy who are chained together. This was based on a slice of life omake Kubo once did where Mayuri offered Renji and Hisagi a magazine advertising his zanpakutou retooling services. Both of them were so impressed by the busty feminine form Mayuri could create that they decided to use Renji's zanpakutou as a guinea pig for the procedure. The female body Mayuri advertised is identical to the form used in this filler arc.

A filler arc that popped up in between the Fake Karakura Town and Deicide Arc, making the placement within the Bleach story rather difficult. The shinigami's Zanpakutos suddenly take corporal human forms and turn against their owners, claiming independence, and lead by a mysterious figure known as Muramasa who is the cause of such an anomaly. Ichigo and the rest of the Gotei 13 must battle against their own weapons while trying to figure what Muramasa's up too.
