Gymnos, Fungus, Crypto, and Angios using D-Shots.

The D-Shot (Japanese: Dショット, D-shotto; Bootleg: D-Shoot) is a central element in both Telefang 1 and 2. It is the cellphone that a T-Fanger uses to call his or her Denjuu for battle. When the battle starts, the Denjuu will take time to arrive in relation to how far away they originate from. This time is measured in turns.

Name Etymology[edit]

Shigeki answering the D-Shot in Telefang 1.

"D-Shot" comes from the original Japanese D-shotto (Dショット), with the D presumably standing for Denki (電気), meaning electricity.

Capabilities[edit]

A D-Shot is the only device that can allow a human to enter an Antenna Tree. This is a great asset when one wants to leave the Human World and enter the Denjuu World. It also has the capability to connect with the cellular devices of Denjuu. One can keep track of the numbers they have obtained, and use it to help call their Denjuu friends in the middle of battle.

The protagonists in both of the Keitai Denjuu Telefang games own a D-Shot.

Other uses[edit]

The D-Shot also serves as the game's menu screen in both Telefang 1 and 2.

  • Contacts (Japanese: 電話帳, Denwachō; Bootleg: Phone)
Call Denjuu, view their stats, or delete their number. Calling a Denjuu allows you to switch them in as your partner Denjuu, if they are not currently. At first, there can be a maximum of 70 contacts saved. Later upgrades to the D-Shot increase this number to 150 (after beating the tournament in Freesia), and finally 240 (after defeating Yarrow at the Sanaeba Research Center.)
  • Calls (Japanese: 着れき, Chaku reki; Bootleg: Calls)
