I love how the parents never think to do anything but stand there and scream. Even throwing themselves uselessly at the anon would be honorable, if nothing else.
For some reason when a yukkuri pounds with their braids/flaps it come off as extra futile than if some other creature did it with their arms and hands/paws, specially humanoids. Maybe it's their extremely limited use of them, compared to the paralel that other creatures have, what makes me see it like this (Aside of you know, Yukkuri's actions being 90% futile in general). Kinda like if a monkey or some quadruped tried pounding a wall with their tails...
