I always found it weird when they go "please save -yukkuri-" even though they ask that to the anon attacking them, usually it would be "please have mercy on -yukkuri-" or something.
Maybe they have hope to the last moment that Mister Human turns into different human? Something about their simplistic easy nature that can't grasp the real world?
I doubt it, only way for "that" to happen, is if mister human changes accesories, like what happened in Yun-Dougnut. I think this is their version of asking for mercy, just doing it wrong.
It doesn't have to be logical, they are after all yukkuri. Maybe they do not understand the concept of mercy as we do. Like if you take it easy you take it easy. This mister does not take it easy, so he can't save Reimu. If he in some yukkuri logical way takes it easy and saves Reimu he must be different mister... okay, I stop now as I have no idea where I got here. XD

I find it to be more support to my "yukkuri are nothing but organic furbies with no real emotions or intelligence" theory. The whole "forgive/save me" thing is nothing but an if/then response to a themselves or a recognized and valued yukkuri getting hurt. I'd expect them to say the same thing and beg inanimate objects that they would get hurt on.
