A short filler arc that takes place after the Zanpakuto Rebellion Arc. Despite Muramasa now gone, the Zanpakuto's still remain in their corporal human forms for some reason. While Mayuri tries to figure it out, owner-less Zanpakutos, dubbed Beast Swords (Toju in the Japanese version), are running rampant through both Soul Society and the human world, forcing the protagonists to track them down.

Muramasa is dead, and his mind control is gone. But the zanpakuto he manifested still remain, though on better terms with their wielders now. Everyone's relaxing and rebuilding Seireitei when a new Muramasa-related problem occurs. While all the named characters were able to defeat their Zanpakuto or at least survive until Mayuri broke Muramasa's hold over them, offscreen, [[NoEndorHolocaust not everyone was so lucky]]. Many shinigami were killed by their own swords, who are still manifested, but with their masters dead, they're going insane. And they're constantly in Bankai mode even if their wielder didn't have it before their death, because of course this couldn't be that easy. So, while trying to get back on their feet after Muramasa, the shinigami and zanpakuto have to hunt down these masterless zanpakuto, which Mayuri dubs 'Beast Swords'.

Rukia and Sode no Shirayuki catch one after a drinking party (which was a failed attempt to lure it out), and in the living world, Ichigo discovers they can get more dangerous than usual when one fuses with a Hollow before Hitsugaya destroys it. Zabimaru gets some CharacterDevelopment while chasing after a Beast Sword, as Chimpette shows that she does care about Snakey and Snakey learns how much he values Chimpette and Renji. Ikakku, Hozukimaru, Hanataro, and Nanao discover Hisogumaru, Hanataro's zanpakuto, down in Soul Society's sewers, and incidentally solve the problem of who was stealing stuff from shinigami.
Kazeshini also gets himself some character development, as he learns to care for a baby he finds in Rukongai. Haineko befriends a Beast Sword called Narunosuke, but is forced to put him down when he finally goes insane from his master's death. Senbonzakura and Zabimaru find themselves in a spot of trouble in the 12th division barracks, and Nanao has some cute moments with the ninja half of Katen Kyokotsu.
All these shinigami-zanpakuto interactions have been fun, but alas, this is a filler arc, so they can't stay. One final Beast Sword, Kirikaze, has started absorbing the power of its fellows to strengthen itself, and it's too much for the zanpakuto or the shinigami to fight on their own. Eventually, the zanpakuto sacrifice their manifested forms to allow Renji to destroy Kirikaze. They're still with their Shinigami as swords, but there'll be no more running around Seireitei.
