The correct translated English (US) title for the movie is "Battles Without Honor and Humanity".
"The Yakuza Papers, Vol. 1: " bit was added by Arrow for their DVD/Blu-ray releases only. The actual name of the movie should not be affected by a distributors choice of naming.
The correct title should be locked as users keep changing it every few months. This issue affects all 5 films in the collection.

I looked at the opening credits of 6 disc DVD remastered edition made in 2004 by Home Vision Entertainment and I can confirm that the subtitled onscreen opening title of this movie was in fact "Battles Without Honor and Humanity", so I'm going to change it as you suggested.
