Maybe he was unable to protect his mother at one point because of his condition? (being a hikikomori that is) One thing I've been thinking about for a long  time is how different Noda is in the manga compared to the anime. In the manga Noda seem a lot more innocent in his behaviour, violent but in a silly sort of way, while in the anime he's even more loud, aggressive, and well, insane. Maybe he hardened as the Sss became more serious? Or maybe him realizing that the afterlife isn't a game made him bitter about his life?
