I feel like the whole Noroi/Noro situation falls into some of the classic tropes for Undead beings, in that it was him....but not really. It seems that Noro possessed Noroi's memories and some fragments of his self. At least enough to have emotional attachments to Eto and Tatara, or interact with others to a degree that people thought him a normal ghoul, while not really.....fully functioning as a person.

It's also noted in Jail that Noro had a perpetual smell of decay around him. With his extreme appetite, considered abnormal even for a Binge Eater, he probably had to constantly eat to stave off complete breakdown and decay. Considering what he looked like after his mask came off, he was probably just barely animated by Eto's powers all those years.

I think whatever Kanou is promising to do, won't even be as good at what Eto accomplished. For one thing, she never tried it with anyone else -- Kanae was similar, but still alive at the time. In comparison, I feel like Kanou would probably produce beings that retained even less of their original self. His track record for experiments is pretty terrible, so anything he made would probably be a horrifying "Dead is Better" kind of situation.

It won't be Hairu, because Furuta and Kanou don't give real gifts. Nor does Ishida tend to give anything good without some terrible catch.
