^ Even when revitalized by the consumption of human flesh there are limits to your regeneration of such chunks of your body, especially when you're struck by massive payloads of the RC-type you're genetically vulnerable to. He was a bikaku, and Shirazu an ukaku. Doesn't always do the trick, but Noro was taking a lot of the blows that were being thrown at him, and regeneration doesn't make you invulnerable, just makes you especially tenacious(and outright horrifying in a sense). The quinxes spent a number of months adjusting to their bodies, which while not as good as many years of tempering it did serve them well enough that they could survive long enough to deal the sufficient amount of blows on this erratic target, and it was a close thing anyway.

Even Noro has his limits and vulnerable periods and spots, and Urie was available for the final blow on Noro's last vestige. And it sure as hell did cost them dearly, even if some readers tend to disregard the early losses of minor characters(which neither I nor those people there do) in addition to Shirazu.
