Sonic Warp was named in Super Dragon Ball Z. Frieza's technique is called Wild Sense in the Raging Blast series.

In Dragon Ball Xenoverse, Frieza uses Sonic Warp as part of his Psychic Move Evasive Skill to appear behind his opponent so fast it appears as if he teleported, to deliver razor-sharp Ki Slash. Perfect Cell can also use the Psychic Move Evasive Skill as part of his 2nd Skillset and like Frieza uses Sonic Warp to get behind the opponent. Psychic Move can also be obtained by the Future Warrior as a reward in Parallel Quest 14: "Legendary Super Saiyan" allowing them to use Sonic Warp as part of the Evasive Skill.^[2]

In Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, Psychic Move returns as Frieza's Evasive Skill and once again Sonic Warp is used to appear behind the opponent like in Xenoverse. In addition to being used as an Evasive Skill by Frieza in all his forms, it is also used by non-playable versions of Cooler and Meta-Cooler in the main story, parallel quests, Expert Missions, and Frieza's Siege. Psychic Move can be also obtained as a reward by Future Warrior in Parallel Quest 73: "Frieza's Siege Against Earth!".^[2]
