Roaracryst is a 2021 action-adventure movie based on Crystal Jewels. It takes place after the Crystal Jewels:Moon Blade anime series, and reveals Roaracryst's origins. The movie is set to be release on April 16, 2021, to the 30th anniversary of the franchise.

Production
In October 2018, Maruko Jinko plans on creating the movie, Roaracryst. It was initially scheduled for May 2020, but it was postponed to April 2021. The current writer of the series, Maruko China, suggested that the movie will take place after the Crystal Jewels anime. Most likely it will, and it will also introduce the returning of former characters and introducing some new ones. However, instead of taking place of the entire anime timeline, it will take place after the Moon Blade storyline when China criticizes Jinko for "not finishing the current series first".

Jinko then agrees with China, and then told that the movie is going to be about Roaracryst's childhood and his adoptive life with Professor Shari. Jinko reveals that Roaracryst's parents have died in an outrage of hunters searching for the Crystal Balls when his parents sacrifice themselves to protect their only two sons. It was revealed that Jinko introduced Roaracryst's brother, Roarajews, also the same age as Roaracryst's, and reveals that he have gone to separate directions from Roaracryst's. Even though Jinko thought it would be a great movie, he let's Kouchu transforms back into a 9-year-old boy again (depicting on his Original Series design) temporarily.

During the production, Kitiro Asai stated that the film should take place during Kouchu's birthday. Although another Crystal Jewels movie is airing the same day, it was aired in different time. However, the movie will not be part of the Crystal Jewels movie chronology, but will be the only movie in the Moona Timeline.

In November 2019, there are complaints about moving the movie's release date to 2023.
