Is not Norubu's "other" somewhat revealed in that Toru apparently beat him to death on the other side.

I wonder whether Norubu defiled Creta in our world or the "other" world. The parallels between Creta's pre-defilement (but post-suicidal) prostitution and Kumiko's pre-disappearance promiscuity seem strong.

I also feel a connection between Boris the Manskinner and Norubu and wonder if they might be the same malignant force. When Lt. Mamiya is unable to shoot Boris what did this imply?
