That twisted smile on Muramasa's face says something is up.
So, you think Muramasa managed to separate the commander's zanpakutou, but it's not listening to him? One of the weaknesses of this arc anyway is the fact how he uses instincts as a tool to separate the zanpakutou from their shinigami yet the zanpakutou all listen to him afterwards. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense; switching from one master to another.
