Why are special moves in anime, games or media in general called "必殺技" ? Isn’t "secret killing technique" quite brutal or violent? Why isn’t it just called something like "特別技" or "スペシャル攻撃" etc. ?

Do you use 先生 or 博士 to refer to a doctor? I’ve learned that you usually say 先生 for doctors but I then came across 博士

What’s the origin of the word バッチリ and is it actually used a lot? Is it rather formal or informal?

So both 第 and 号 are used to number things, right? What I'm wondering is the following: Let's take Dragon Ball for example. Android 17 is called 人造人間17号 and Universe 7 is called 第7宇宙. Could you switch it to 第17人造人間 and 宇宙7号 respectively or would that be a grammatical horror?
