The problem is clear is that. So to settle this argument here, we need to settle what we claim to be "more official" than the other.

As I said before, it depends on what kind of wiki we consider ourselves as. Are we a wiki that covers the English release of Naruto, or are we a wiki that covers the Japanese release of Naruto, the manga in general, so to speak? Are our visitors from countries where VIZ releases the manga or are they from all over the world? Do we use VIZ translations anywhere else? If not, why not? ^And why would we use them for episodes and episodes only? VIZ also translates everything else, why not use their translations for everything else as well? Are their episode titles special? Plus, is it more important to use official English titles than to use fan-translated correct titles? Because let me tell you this; カカシ暗部篇～闇を生きる忍 does not translate to Kakashi: Shadow of the ANBU Black Ops. So if we would use the latter, we wouldn't even use a translation, but an entirely made up name which ignores the Japanese original. Are we fine with ignoring the original manga for the sake of using official English titles? Which brings us back to ^.
