D-Shot

The D-Shoot (Japanese: Dショット; Romaji: D-shotto) is a central element in both Telefang 1 and 2. It is the phone 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 are. This time is measured in turns.

The name

"D-Shoot" comes from the original Japanese D-shotto (Dショット), with the D presumably standing for Denki (電気), meaning electricity, and shotto, which means shoot or shot. It is unknown what it would be called in an official English translation, although it can be still called D-Shoot.
