After Kisame passed away, heck, even before he passed away, Samehada seemed to
be attracted to Bee. What drove it to do so? The ownership of a sword only
changes when the new owner defeats the old owner, isn't it? Or am I getting
something confused here?

What made Samehada team up with Bee?


Found the answer in the Wikia article on
[Samehada](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Samehada). The ownership is actually
based on Samehada's personality. It seem to have its own conscious (emphasis
mine):

> Samehada is unique for being a sentient weapon that gains nourishment from
> the chakra of others and as such, the blade is at its happiest when engorged
> with chakra that possesses both a distinctive and pleasant flavour. It
> apparently greatly enjoys Killer B's chakra since, according to Kisame, it
> tastes like octopus. However, it has shown displeasure towards fire-natured
> chakra, stating that — according to B — it's far too hot. **Being capable of
> conscious thought, Samehada chooses its own user, an exclusive process that
> has often resulted in it being thought of as notoriously picky. If someone
> it disapproves of attempts to wield it, spikes protrude from the handle in
> order to force them to release their grasp, at which point Samehada will
> make efforts to return to its chosen owner. Even if it did betray its former
> owner for a more powerful wielder like Killer B, the blade was at least
> close enough to Kisame to mourn his death.**
