He did get a glorious death.

The Quinx are "supersoldiers" (experimental and prototypes at the time but still, for all intents and purposes, supersoldiers) created and designed for the sole purpose of "surpassing" Arima, in case you have forgotten Akira´s exposition really early on...

Noro wasn´t just fighting one, he fought "four" "Arima-in-training" at the same time and even there, almost won. He went all out, they went all out, the Quinx almost "died" mind you, one even did die, meaning that Noro took out one "Arima jr" before he died.

Noro´s death couldn´t have been written any better since if it been the actual Arima doing it, it would have been underwhelming and anticlimatic one-sided massacre on Noro´s side (like taking a punch from Saitama for comparisons) which would have made Arima look like a God Mode Sue and Noro a waste of ink and character.

This way? Both Noro and the Quinx got a fight for their lives and some wonderful character development for the Quinx... And we saw what Noro was fully capable off alongside with what a ghoul in general can become capable of so it was not a waste of him there.

Agree that Noro was a beast, but let´s face it, he was basically a braindead tank. And even then, he pulled up one heck of a performance. If he had been alive and capable of thought and logical thinking, he would have been unstoppable and the Quinx would have been dead.

But he was dead from the moment the story started, so there´s no changing that.

Noro´s had the best opponents to face off against in his final battle, no doubt.

Best fight of the Tsukiyama arc... (Kaneki´s and Eto´s little "mating dance" was just underwhelming over how lackluster it was... so Noro vs the Quinx was indeed the one that made it worth it...alongside with Matsumae and Hairu of course...)
