Wall Street Bets (a.k.a WSB) community was trying to push from below and soon after received help from its ally, the Osu community. The result left the BABYMETAL rectangle in shreds, but the attack also hit on the Foxhole community and triggered a three-way alliance with Lithuania to drive WSB out of the area. This would ultimately be achieved after the efforts of the Osu alliance were exhausted. Senko community (r/SewayakiKitsune) also helped from the south to push WSB out. Upon defeating WSB, the BABYMETAL community expands downward to make the canvas for their artwork. The artwork was completed on the early hours of day 2.

While the WSB battle was taking place, part of the community tried to draw second logo a few pixels away and below, near the Osu logo. Second logo was almost finished, but then an attack directed towards Osu by a streamer wiped out the zone. Efforts were redirected to the 1st Artwork.

The community joined with r/BandMaid to build the cover artwork of ''BAND-MAID'' album ''World Domination''. When completed, r/BABYMETAL built its own logo above this artwork. Soon after, contacts were established with the local neighbors, first with Twitch streamer Jhay (Luigi artwork) and later with r/Astroneer (blue triangle logo). Both agreed to an alliance. The upper border was held by Green Lattice which was a partial ally, but mostly neutral. After completion there was an attack of the void that was steadly repealed by the alliance.

Uppon the second expansion of the canvas r/BABYMETAL decided to build under the second artwork of its ally Foxhole. Below the space intended was an expanding Lithuanian flag that started take over the build zone. Contacts were made with r/lithuania, which was ally since day 1, but the flag was ultimately being build by twitch streamer Lturepublic.

During the assault on the 3rd Artwork, Lturepublic decided to log into the r/BABYMETAL discord server while doing his livestream to brag about. His moderator also posted the public invite link in the livestream many times. This ultimately prompted some of his audience to do the same. In a very brief period of time, new users began to send offensive messages, or against the rules of etiquette of the server. This action was considered a raid by r/BABYMETAL, and some users went to report it on twitch.

Four hours later after the server raid, Foxhole community announced an operation to retaliate against the streamer by taking the spot were he was drawing his logo. The attack known as "Operation Thunderclap" was set to start at 01:00 UTC, with the objetive of build a Sabaton (swedish metal band) artwork. r/foxholegame, r/BABYMETAL, r/Sabaton and others were part of the operation, but also Osu community was ready to defend the artworks they have commited.[[File:Sabaton Joakim artwork.png|thumb|Sabaton Artwork|280x280px]]Lturepublic knew about the attack and decided to move first launching an attack on the 1st r/BABYMETAL artwork, but was quickly repelled with the help of Osu. As this move left their defenses empty temporarily, Foxhole decided to counterattack immediately. This decision ultimately was the right one as the operation was prompted 30 minutes early, and since it was not known at what time the event would end, it gave the possibility of reaching the goal.

==Artwork==
===First Attempt===
[[File:Babymetal artwork 2023 proposal.png|thumb|Babymetal artwork 2023 proposal]]
Drawing started late on the final moments day 1 below the artwork from the Foxhole allied community, after waiting and debating where to build and helping Foxhole with their first build once the site was decided. After the completion of Foxhole's artwork, Babymetal's artwork finally starts to be built under Foxhole, but soon after Twitch streamer ohnePixel begins to draw again in the zone (he did it before, indirectly helping Foxhole to gain territory over the US flag) and prevents Babymetal from making progress. A few moments after, Portugal's flag expanded and erases Foxhole leaving the zone empty. Babymetal stops working on the zone as their ally was expeled.
 
===Second Attempt===
[[File:Babymetal 2023 art reduced version.png|thumb|Art placed. Modified to fit the space]]
After Foxhole tried in vain to recover its place where Portugal expanded, they secured a deal to use some space from Black Company to relocate. Babymetal again waited and helped Foxhole until their Artwork was done, and then its own artwork was placed below as the first time, thanks to a deal with Costa Rica for the space that they had left over. Artwork is completed late on day 2 with some help this time from OSU's main streamer, BTMC.
 
===First Twitch streamer invasion (ElZeein)===
[[File:ElZeein cat artwork.png|thumb|ElZeein cat art invasion]]
After the second attempt was successful, a few hours later on the beginning of day 3 Babymetal and Foxhole would again be hit by an attack that would completely erase them, this time coming from a Peruvian Twitch streamer, ElZeein. But only a few hours later, when the streamer finally closes his stream, the retake operation of both Foxhole and Babymetal begins in parallel. A few hours later, both designs would be fully restored.
 
===Second Twitch streamer invasion (Lturepublic)===
Since day 3 skirmishes began to emerge in the Babymetal art, which were soon identified from Lithuanian accounts. On day 4 these incursions intensified and soon a message was discovered on Lturepublic (former enemy from r/place 2022) social networks that he had prepared an attack that day from his stream in the afternoon. Lturepublic has a patent resentment over its last-minute defeat last year and was seeking revenge. As soon as the stream starts, he launch the attack and soon vanishes the art, and in place he makes a Lithuanian flag to try to bring in external supporters. Babymetal starts fighting together with their Foxhole allies, and later they receive help from other communities, mainly from OSU's main streamer, BTMC. No progress was possible and soon after half of Foxhole art is also invaded. The situation would stagnate while Lturepublic stream was live, but at the beginning of day 5 his stream ends and the operation to retake the art is quickly completed.
 
===Third Twitch streamer invasion (Lturepublic and Elosanta)===
[[File:Second invasion in action.png|thumb|Second invasion in action]]
Lturepublic have a personal vendetta and instead of doing what ElZeein did, try another location, he decides to return as early as possible to re-invade the same place, and this time teams up with another lithuanian streamer, Elosanta. Together with almost 3k active viewers take over Babymetal and Foxhole art to replace it with a lithuanian flag. Soon after Lturepublic begins to draw an image of lithuanian King Vytautas. During the drawing of the king, many users witnessed the use of automated bot accounts placing pixels in a sequential orderly fashion. The evidence was recorded, but the streamer Lturepublic denied having used them. The situation stalls with foxhole preventing completion of the design while Babymetal attempts to remake Su-metal within the king's design.
 
===Backup Art on Germany===
Babymetal diplomats contacted r/placeDE to host the artwork and get a vote of approval. The strategy would be to keep the art out of the streamer's reach and under the protection of the Germans, so that the community can focus on skirmishes over the streamer's art. The plan goes ahead and ultimately this art would be the only one to survive on the final canvas.
 
===Operation Clown Car===
[[File:Clown nose on the King design.png|thumb|Operation Clown Car in action]]
Although the streamer Lturepublic finally seemed to complete the king's design, the Foxhole and Babymetal communities were determined to make a clown nose on the king to prevent the design from being completed. The so-called Clown Car operation was a last resort to maintain pressure on Lturepublic and to show courage in the face of the impossibility of recovering the territory while his audience remained online.
 
===Recovery and Final Twitch streamer invasion (Lturepublic and others)===
Rumors suggested that the event would end on the fifth day. Lturepublic keeps his stream open as much as possible until the early morning to cross the finish line, but the moment does not come. While Babymetal and Foxhole held up Operation Clown Car, it was surprisingly decided to go for a final push as r/place would supposedly end and this was the final chance to get the Foxhole on the canvas. It is at this moment that Foxhole and Babymetal regain their territories for the last time, while Lturepublic followed the action with his stream. But just hours later, the streamer would come back online, again with the same goal in mind, to wipe both arts. The situation is identical to the previous day, with operation clown car in progress, and while invasions of neighboring Peru and Mexico by other Lithuanian streamers were taking place.
 
===Botting invasion on Backup Art===
[[File:Babymetal backup art.png|thumb|Backup art moments before the bot invasion]]
Rajono Kunigas, was the other streamer using bots (seen by several witnesses) that previously attacked Peru and Mexico. As some Lturepublic followers begins to flood his chat with requests to attack Babymetal backup art, he decides to do it using his bots and replaces with a lithuanian flag. Luckily, the backup artwork was repaired shortly before the event ended, thanks to the people of r/placeDE. Although the capture shown by reddit as the last moment shows the area as a prominent lithuanian flag, the reality is that the capture does not correspond to the last moments of the event, namely the gray phase (only black, grey and white pixels).
