I want the wiki to be as true to the Japanese original as possible. That's why I learned Japanese and that's why I'm a sysop here. Most of those, if not all, discussing here have no experience as translators. And yet you want to change something that isn't broken. I'm sorry, but this is getting out of hand. If you don't even understand why a VIZ translation isn't necessarily correct just because it's by VIZ, I can't help you.

My friend, I care very little on the why you went and learned Japanese, I'm just saying it is excessive hubris on a fan made wiki part to say official anything is wrong. If Kishimoto was to get fired tomorrow and Shueisha got a new author to start Naruto up again and decided Naruto was now a drag queen name Shaquesha Taytay no amount of us crying will change the fact that Naruto is now Shaquesha Taytay.

That said, as I already stated, I am for using the Japanese translations to remain consistent with the rest of our title translations.
