Jutsu is of Japanese origin and therefore spelled and pronounced in Japanese. Just because a word is used in the English vocabulary, which in this case it is not, the word is still pronounced in the language of origin. For example, cliché, décor and sabotage are all French words which have taken on a meaning in English, they are still pronounced using the French phonology. As opposed to the previous examples Jutsu contains no meaning in English it can only be translated to roughly equate to skill or art. Pokémon, which is not a combination of two English words but rather a combination of the two Japanese words Poketto Monsuta, is a word of Japanese origin that refers to a game made by Nintendo. I would also offer up the notion that there is no "English pronunciation" only the pronunciation used by the speaker of the origins word, which the majority of the English vocabulary is a mixture of Latin, Germanic, and French.

I can destroy your argument with one word. FORTE. English speakers pronounce it For-Teh or For-Tay. Its proper French pronounciation is one syllable: FORT. There are many more examples of European words destroyed by ignorant English speakers, but that one comes to mind first.

Poketto Monsuta is Pocket Monster said with Japanese accent, not Japanese words.

Note: I got a nice neg rep about my post being anti-American and telling me to STFU. HA! Right-wing idiot. It's amazing how people make up stuff in their minds out of nothing. I bet the fool doesn't even realize that he's contradicting himself with an anti-American statement. See 1st amendment.
