Not really. I know where this comes from (the databook), but in Japanese this is the databook entryNullflowerblush said:

Translating everything but the celestial object desgination
In order to oppose Boros' ultimate technique [Collapsing Star Roaring Canon] which boasts enough power to blow away "µÿƒ" ,what Saitama pulled out was a [Serious Punch]. Even though up until now every battle had been concluded with a normal punch, he finally uses his trump card to end a terrific battle !!
As you see, there's not text evidence to back up "Star" as the valid translation over "Planet". I think they just went with star since the attack name is called the "Collasping Star Roaring Cannon", since in the anime Boros was very direct with the attack only being planet busting.
Although as a note, no matter what end we do use the anime version explicitly does say the Serious Punch was Saitama's trump card.

Sure he can still do more, but it means that the serious punch is a notable percentage of his strength.

No, it isn't. Saitama says in a bonus chapter that he has no killer moves (https://********.org/chapter/601084/1) and that there is no opponent he can't beat with normal punches to begin with (https://********.org/chapter/601084/2). As Boros said to Saitama "you didn't even bare your fangs at all, the entire battle" (https://********.org/chapter/67408/50).Qawsedf234 said:
So no, Saitama's "trump card" was literally just a stronger attack than normal that won the fight, there was nothing special about it other than that. Boros and Saitama aren't lying/ignorant, it doesn't trump their own statements in the manga itself, the highest cannon, there is no evidence to suggest " the serious punch is a notable percentage of his strength."

It's not like one version is limited to an actual trump card and the other isn't. The only difference between them is max feats. They're not two entirely different characters.Nullflowerblush said:
All you're arguing is that "Both version say he has a trump card... BUT only the manga later contradicts later on. Therefore, anime Saitama's Serious Punch is actually his trump card."

No, it isn't
It is for anime Saitama until later contradicted. It explictly called his anime Serious Punch a trump card, something never attributed to manga Saitama.
it doesn't trump their own statements in the manga itself
I never said it did. I've only ever applied it to the anime version of the character.
They're not two entirely different characters.
They are for the sake of indexing and feats. Toei Goku is different from Manga Goku, Superman vs the Elite Superman is different from Post-Crisis Superman, and MCU Iron Man is different from 616 Iron Man, and Anime Saitama is different from Manga Saitama who's different from Webcomic Saitama.

Boros still said Saitama had strength to spare, and it was never a battle. If you use your trump card... that makes it a battle. It's like saying about a real life military event "they had strength to spare" and "it was never really a war" despite one side using nukes. Someone using their trump card definitely qualifies as a battle.

I mean, that can still apply even in a war. The US used nukes against Japan, but they still had millions of soldiers, the ability to produce more nukes, and billions of dollars worth of war equitment to spare against Japan. You wouldn't say they held back, but they defiently could do a lot more if they felt like it.Scumerage said:
In this case Saitama had strength to spare sure, but according to the anime guidebook the serious punch was a trump card. It was a notable fraction of his strength, unlike all of his previous punches. Someone with casual 5-B levels of attack output will feel nothing from a High 6-A wailing on him like with Boros anyways since the gap is to large.

I want to point out that Hammerhead's Low 7-C calc has been changed due to recent value changes to destruction value. The new fragmentation of gold is now 50 J/cm^3. That makes the feat 261 Tons or 8-A.
Also there was some doubt about the statue actually being gold or if it was hollow on the inside. I think it should be dropped all together since there are too many unknown variables and the results aren't impressive anyway.

Pretty good chapter, Spirit Psykos looked like an Eva from Evangelion imo
It's seem that Tatsu will unleashe her full power now that Taro has been saved
Now i just to know if Spirit psykos is at the level of Orochi, if yes, Tatsu will probably scale above him in the next chapter

True, since Tatsumaki is known as Above Dragon. Too bad, cause I was hoping she was Low God.
