Because Germans don't call it Germany/Germans they call it Deutschland/Deutsche which, when Japanese-ified sounds like Doitsu.

Basically, they just say what Germans call themselves. Like instead of saying Russian, we will say "Russkiy" which is how it is pronounced natively. Japan will be said as Nihon in Japanese, etc.

And suddenly a pair of Yu-Gi-Oh cards make a lot of sense,

I see the joke there, don't worry I'm not having a woosh moment.
But if you think Japanese is regular, you haven't learned Japanese.

Yeah. Sakura (cherry tree blossom) + niku (meat) = sakuraniku, horsemeat.
(However hi (skin) + niku = irony, but literally skinmeat... and that's cool).

And let's not even get started on the numerals and dates omg

I don't know, there are more than 2000 letters in the Japanese alphabet so maybe the "niku" used are different when written.

No, they're the same kanji.
