They both at mention a heart which… might be why they were included? But I think this map may just be AI or recaptioned from something else because thats a bit of a stretch to call blood.
edit: USA, China & mexico both overtly mention blood though… Maybe it really is the heart thing? Though if that were true then Canada should be on there too. Idkwtf
edit 2: and the Brazilian anthem is disappointing given the way it’s brought up in the OP; it’s not a crass use of it like “boob” but very much akin to “my heart beat in my breast” or “nurtured by your bosom”. By that metric a ton of other countries also feature tiddy anthems.
The first two stanzas of “the song of the Germans” doesn’t mention it either I think.
The third stanza (which is the national anthem in its entirety) is more aspirational than a look back on history.
“Unity and Justice and Freedom… Let’s strive for that… May it blossom in the light of this happiness” and so on.
Yet, neither of the 3 verses of the Deutschlandlied mentions blood.
The first mentions only geographic terms (“von der Maas bis an die Memel, von der Etsch bis an den Belt”) and brotherly connection for protection and defence.
The second verse mentions women, loyality, wine and singing.
Only the third verse, on unity, right and freedom, is considered the national anthem of the Federal Republic.
Edit: Austria is painted in red on the map despite their “Bundeshymne” (federal hymn) doesn’t contain the word “Blut” (‘blood’).
Neither the Austrian nor the German national anthem mention blood?

I think they do in the secret stanzas where they list all the types of sausages
If thats a question, yes, germany does not use the first two verses of the national anthem any more. The nazis made those uncomfortable.

Despite their “Bundeshymne” does not contain the word “Blut”.
