Well, it sounds like you're misunderstanding the point I'm trying to make. But at the same time, you're saying things that support what I've been saying.

Here's the basic jist:
 * The Kakuhou stores rc cells, which are a finite supply.
 * The kagune is formed by these rc cells. (Ukaku use them up the fastest, in general, because they are constantly forming and reforming a kagune.)
 * Regeneration uses rc cells.
 * Noro kept regenerating from massive, fatal damage and constantly making very large, new kagune.
 * His regeneration showed signs of slowing, as the battle progressed. (Slowing = ability being exhausted)
 * His kagune became less stable and less solid as the battle progressed. (Again, suggesting exhaustion.)
 * He was killed when Urie destroyed the kakuhou, which was exposed when Noro wasn't able to regenerate quickly enough to cover it again. He also wasn't able to defend it after the final blow to Shirazu.

Ergo, Noro was pushed to the point where he simply wasn't able to keep up with what the Quinx were throwing at him. If Urie hadn't attacked, he could have in theory finished the Quinx and survived through chowing down on them. But at that moment, his regeneration had slowed down too much and his ability to form kagune had likewise been compromised.

This probably also did in Shirazu, in the end. The weakness of an Ukaku is that it's very costly to use. Shirazu went all out, and didn't have enough left to regenerate the damage inflicted when we've seen him literally walk off enormous holes in his stomach before. But this time, he couldn't do that.
