D-Shot

The D-Shot (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.

Name Etymology

"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, and shotto, which means shot. It is also known as "D-Shoot" in the bootleg.

Importance

Shigeki answering the D-Shot in Telefang 1.

A D-Shot is the only device that can allow a human to enter an Antenna tree. This is a great asset when one want's 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

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

Telefang 1

In Telefang 1, the choices are as follows:

Phone book

View the stats of and call Denjuu. Used to switch the partner Denjuu.

Picture book

View information on Denjuu encountered and befriended.

Ringtones

Allows customisation of ringtones. Does not work in the bootleg version.

Calls

Allows you to check calls that you missed.

Items

Use items on Denjuu.

Mail

Save

Options

Change settings, such as turning the ringtone on or off, the clock on or off, the background color of text, or the battle animation on or off.

Additionally, by pressing SELECT on the D-shot screen, you get to dial in numbers for Secret Denjuu. This feature is missing from the bootleg as well because the game crashes after the phone is answered.
