None of the Robotech Masters scientists advocated a return to the days of rifle-toting, goliath ground-pounders; it was acknowledged that the Zentreadi were no longer suited to the micronised environment, but it was also acknowledged that the advances that lead to the Zentreadi development should not be discarded. Ultimately, the leading minds of Robotech Master bioscience unveiled a new proxy slave - the Meltrandi (female Zentran). The new slaves possessed all the mental faculties of a sentient female humanoid, but were conditioned with subliminal commands that prevented them from intermixing with the male Zentran. Also, as an attempt to add functionality to these new female giant Amazons, DNA templates from colonised Praxis inhabitants (female micronian society with warlike tendency & agressive culture) were engineered into new Meltran bodies approximately five times the size of a normal micronian individual. Not surprisingly, Diwgadras'U also pre-programmed to the new breed of Zentreadi female warriors.
When the first fully automated factory satellites were created for the military forces of the Robotech Imperium, they included massive production lines for cloned Zentreadi; the factories also included fully automated education and training facilities for these warrior-slaves, and one of the core subjects taught was Diwgadras'U. Even after the development of armored vehicles and combat pods, this skill was still taught for use when dismounted, but a full mastery-level education was only given to those students who showed the greatest degree of talent, while less-talented soldiers were moved on to other subjects.
Today, five thousand years (Earth Standard) later after the introduction of the dueling motion art, where upon the Robotech Imperium came to a crushing & bitter end in which the destruction of Zentreadi Grand Armada on Earth in 2011 AD. This event followed by Invid relentless crusade into crumbling stagnant Imperium territories. After the assimilation & integration of micronised Zentreadi into humanity social strata, whose their 2nd & 3rd generation full & mixed offsprings were born and educated in the Terran cultures still carry on this martial art, and some Zentreadi Diwgadras'U practitioners living under the UEG & later in Sol-system (Mars) have started to pass on the art to the first and second generation of free Zentraedi. Additionally, several Earth-born martial arts masters have undertaken to study this practice in order to augment their own skills.
While it is highly unlikely that Diwgadras'U will ever achieve the popularity it possessed at the beginning of the Robotech Masters, there is little doubt that this art will not die out any time in the immediate future as current Tyrolian Republican Guard has adopted Diwgadras'U syllabus as compulsory unarmed combat training to all recruits.
