It was no asspull by any means:

Urie survived the onslaught due to his super strengthend muscles he gained while muscle training to puch his limits, (We saw that training ourselves)

Shirazu broke all his frames and regained the FULL base power of his Ukaku kagune, while also turning into a complete one-.eyed ghoul. (and the reason that one-eyed ghouls are stronger than a normal one, is because in the case of normal ones, they need to resupply their rc-cells through eating humans at a different opportunity. One-eyed ghouls are half human, which means that their rc-cells can feast on their human halves in hybrid vigor and ALWAYS be at their full potential at all times. Rc-suppressants and the frames have been cutting the rc-cells off from the nourishment and the hybrid vigor in both Sasaki and the Quinx, leading to their kagunes behaving like they would in normal ghouls... weakening them.)

A normal ghoul starts at 100% percent of power after it recently eaten human rc-cells to recover strength... and the more it uses their kagunes, this power drops gradually in the fight as it drains the rc-cell reserve in their bodies.

(100%-80%-60%-40%-20%-1%) We have all seen the draining effect in all types of normal ghouls... the ukaku is infamous for this weakness after all, and Grave Robber also got a draining bikaku which is the reason for this ghoul´s habit of collecting quinques. The draining time is also mentioned regarding the Koukaku as well...To put it

in perspective of "worst to best" draining effect.

1.Ukaku (worst)

2.Koukaku

3. Rinkaku

4.Bikaku (best in general)Regene

ration is also part of "draining" that´s the price for the ability and skills that the ghoul is using... Noro is no exception and he pushed his to the point where he couldn´t even regain a human form and forced his rc-cells to assume a much more simple and primitive apperance just to keep on going and save up rc-cells. Noro is a normal ghoul, which means that even if he got a huge rc-cell reserve and deposit, he can´t recover or regain any of the rc-cells in the battle unless he starts eating... and he has been a notorious glutton, as mentioned in part one, so his regeneration ability have a huge price to pay in order to be used... That´s why his kagune have mouths, to make it easier to regain rc-cells as his regeneration is a massive drainer on Noro´s body... I highly doubt that anyone but Eto would be able to provide sufficient amounts of rc-cells for him so Noro won´t have to go on a feasting spree that would make Binge-eater look anorectic in comparison...

Noro seem to live in the 24th ward as well, and down there, even the walls have rc-cells so he could probably not have left that ward which provided him with enough food if it hadn´t been for Eto... (speculation)

So Noro was only at full power at the very beginning of the fight... but as it dragged on and his regeneration was forced to do overtime, his power gradually drained more and more until he, as he turned into a shoggoth, was perhaps on 40% or lower until he took Shirazu´s nourished and empowered blow which reduced Noro to a meager 5% of power, weakened enough for Shirazu to finish it off since Noro, at that point, could only stand there and take it, too weak to move anymore as he no longer had any legs or appendages left for the purpose of mobility.

Shirazu also in essence "unlocked" his passive support ability: "Hybrid Vigor" (Effects: Removal of time-limit for kagune usage. Kagune power amped up at 100% at ALL times, regardless of the length and usage in battle.)

It was not a "shounen asspull" as you claim, since to call this that, Shirazu alone would have had to be the one who fought with Noro from start to finish and finish him off. That is the asspull I assume you´re thinking off, am I wrong?

But this was a team effort, the Quinx took losses on their side, suffered and lost Mutsuki who got knocked out cold or pierced in half and everyone did their utmost best to beat this monster... so this is NO asspull in the slightest. It made common sense..

...As I see it, it´s just the fandom who was overhyping Noro for absolutely no reason or foundation behind it at all.
