| abstract | - In the NES version Black Belts have a blue headband and clothing. In the PlayStation version the is red, but was changed back to blue for the PlayStation portable sprites. His hair has also become shorter in every remake. The Black Belt gets damage bonuses for fighting barehanded, and also a defense bonus based on Stamina. Barehanded damage surpasses claws and, with enough Stamina, equipment (except for status/elemental protection) is also unneeded. Like the Thief, he is another "investment" character, though his investment comes from grinding rather than class change; he starts weak, but his potential shows in that he can eventually catch up to the Warrior in a fight. At high enough levels, he (and the Master Monk) will even have the highest damage output. In the Final Fantasy manga, the Black Belt's name is given as Fritz . An original character that does not appear in the game, he is the youngest member of the Warriors of Light and helps Puffy, Matoya and Bahamut to restore the power of the Crystals.
