'People prefer believe in nothing rather than not to believe.' - From 'The Genealogy Of Morals', Nietszche.
'Blackjack' is a backstreet surgeon who has not qualified as a doctor and demands tens of millions of dollars for him to ask surgery, he is a well known character created by Osamu Tezuka, anime writer, who was also a medical doctor himself.
He(Blackjack) lives with a girl whose name I can't recall, I must confirm that he is not a paedophile, he just chose to live a girl with whom he is unable to have relations in the first place.
Her cliche is 'Atchan Bouy'. Bouy might be 'V'. In Japanese sounds, 'V' and 'Bouy' doesn't make difference, anyway, that doesn't change in essence the phrase is meaningless. She says many times this phrase instead of saying something meaninful. -Atchan Bouy!
Not only this anime but also others as well along with other cases of comedians, cliche is often used to call for laughing. I recall Nietszche's remark on the essence of religion I raised above. In the age of nihilism after the World War II, we all were caught by an apathy of something, these kinds of repetition of phrases might be the largest resistance general publics were able to make in public.
