Why do people think Hide didn't die in the manga, he's hiding? Yes, he was an awesome character but in the manga, Kaneki was overwhelmed by his kakuja and couldn't control himself. His injuries were also healed after Hide 'disappeared' and he even remarked this unease feeling he was trying to get his mind off of. As if Hide would be like "Here Kaneki, have a nick of my blood. I'll be going now, you heal okay buddy? Go all out."

And Hide smiling at the burning Anteiku in the anime was probably temporary to give off an emotional feeling because simply look at his limp body as Kaneki carried him. He was a normal human, he couldn't have survived Noro's cut anyways which is also why Noro would let him go.
