I honestly hope they DO keep the system where you lose a belt. Otherwise this game would be too easy. This way battles can be picked and chosen instead of just blindly clicking and fighting anyone. I have 6 brown belts and only a recorded 5 deaths through all of them. Its all about strategy... No reason to take this feature out.
