The bad guys want to destroy all life on Earth to make sure they won't reincarnate ever again, be it into a platypus, a mosquito, a cactus, an amoeba, a bacteria or whatnot. Meanwhile, every woman has always reincarnated into a woman, every man into a man. Bad guys must be complete idiots.
Although the good guys never thought of looking inside, so they aren't any brighter.
Bad guys have a gun that stops a reincarnation cycle. They use it on hundreds of people who want to keep reincarnating. They never use it on themselves, which would achieve their only goal. No good guy ever suggests that they should. Everybody is a complete moron.
At least, all these people have great powers, like their 2000 years old martial techniques, which must be better than modern military training. Or that bullet-dodging ability they acquired in the 11th century. Their katana mastery, so superior a tradition that today's yakuzas still prefer it to guns. Their power of Latin. Their mummification or head-shrinking skills. Their medieval science.
