^ But the only sure way of killing a ghoul is to kill it before the kakuhou can activate. it was established really early on in part one.

As long the kakuhou is intact, the ghoul remains a threat. (like cutting the head of a sea eel and still end up bitten in the hand by the decapitated head. It is not over until the twitching stops.)

The number of kakuhous is a factor there, but in high-rate ghouls, the only usre fire way to kill them, is taking out their kakuhous...which Urie didn't do in Roma's case since he went for the head...

The requirements to achieve death for a character are very precise and narrow, that's all there is to it.
