Princess Mei's Seven Metamorphoses!! is the 38th episode of the Super Sentai Zyuranger season 1. The episode starts with a young girl named Yumi Hasegawa traveling with her grandmother who is telling her a story about Princess Mei. The story goes that Princess Mei had a magical mirror that broke into seven pieces and scattered all over the world, and whoever obtained all pieces of the mirror would be granted unlimited power and wealth.
Meanwhile, Bandora is searching for a new beast to defeat the Zyurangers, so she sends Dora Pixie to find a worthy opponent. Dora Pixie disguises herself as a young girl and approaches Yumi Hasegawa, who she assumes knows the location of the first piece of the mirror. Yumi refuses to tell her anything and runs away.
The Zyurangers are on a mission to find the scattered pieces of the mirror, and their search leads them to Yumi, who tells them about the fairy tale of Princess Mei. Zyuheki decides to take Yumi to the Dino House for her safety, but she accidentally drops her backpack, which contains the first piece of the mirror.
Dora Pixie manages to retrieve the first piece of the mirror and uses her power to transform into Princess Mei, as Bandora plans to use her to lure the other Zyurangers into a trap. The other six pieces of the mirror are located in different places, guarded by various beings that the Zyurangers have to defeat.
As the episode progresses, the Zyurangers encounter a monster called Dora Knight. Zyuheki is injured while fighting Dora Knight but manages to defeat it with his new weapon. The second piece of the mirror that was located near the area of the battle is also retrieved, bringing the total number of pieces retrieved to two.
The search for the other pieces of the mirror continues, and each of them is located in difficult-to-reach places, requiring the Zyurangers to use their skills and powers to obtain them. They even have to face some old enemies who make a comeback and try to stop them from getting the pieces of the mirror.
Throughout the episode, Dora Pixie, disguised as Princess Mei, tries to manipulate the Zyurangers into handing over the pieces of the mirror. However, the Zyurangers realize the deception and band together to defeat Dora Pixie and retrieve the final piece of the mirror.
In the end, the Zyurangers manage to gather all seven pieces of the mirror, and using the Dino Buckler, they summon the Dragon Caesar to combine the pieces into the Mirror Stick, which can turn back time. However, before they can use the Mirror Stick to defeat Bandora, she unleashes the most powerful monster yet, called Dora Talos, setting the scene for the next episode.
