It was taking so long for the manga to finish the Monster Association arc that there needed to be something major to keep people interested. Adapting the webcomic straight-up wouldn't have been exciting enough. They already introduced a whole ass multiverse, so there are plenty of directions for the story to take.

Not that any of them will be interesting, though. OPM is a novelty series that should have ended early on. It doesn't work as a long-running series because a deliberately OP protagonist is only interesting for so long.

It was taking so long for the MA arc to finish BECAUSE of Murata dragging all the one page gag fights into hundreds of pages of serious shonen battling and then adding several dozen more chapters of serious yet unimportant shonen battle filler. And even then, the webcomic surface fight was more than hype enough if they simply followed it to the letter. Instead they actually made the surface battle more boring and awkward (seriously, nobody with sound mind prefers Sage Centipede or whatever over the S rank vs Garou fight) before the fanfiction tier Garou fight.

I can see you're just trying to be contrarian in your own post though.

Series is called One-Punch Man and up to this point, Saitama has taken down everyone in one punch.

Saitama uses more than one punch against Boros.

May as well end the series there, because he's no longer One-Punch Man.

Saitama needing a slightly less bored punch to take down Boros is much easier to swallow than him going avatar mode furious and still being perfectly matched by the villain who takes dozens of these all out punches.
