Well it's more like the ensoulment doesn't happen, and remains in temporal space. The body has an essence of energy like all things but essentially under Shintoism (especially Shintoism that is largely shaped by Buddhism but also acknowledges there is a central, singular god) it's not unlike that of a small animal or a rock. Reincarnation cycle kind of depends on acts if you look at the strictly Buddhist version or it and the biggest problem with Japan adopting Christianity is one, Japanese do not agree with the idea all humans base condition is sinful, and two, Japanese can not fathom salvation or enlightenment happening just because some one said so (without acts or labor)

Mind you, perhaps western Christians should debate ensoulment as much as the Jews or the eastern religions have. I have tried discussing it with Christians and none have even contemplated it. Questions like do you believe souls are floating up there like ghosts? Or are souls actively willed into existence by god a hundred times per second during all births? And when does that happen, when a sperm hits an egg or when a birth exits the womb or something in between? Are souls just a building block of God given or a separate energy existence? Do all humans get ensouled or can the worst among us (pedos, rapists, war mongers, Faucis, Soros, etc) or even just the apathetic normie npcs not have souls and that's where the concept of golem and homonculus originated?
