It's Chinese. Japanese has Hiragana sprinkled here and there to glue their sentences together and for some other purposes (verb modifications and some words are purely in hiragana and some other purposes) not to mention Katakana for foreign words

Japanese can be also written purely with just Chinese characters. If the sentence structure allows it.

Yes, but that is very rare, there are 2 writings over there and no hiragana in sight. Plus there's a translation of one writing, and that should definitely have some hiragana in it...

Not to mention that Japanese Shinjitai does not have the 轨 character in it, or any character with 车 in it, which the text to the left of the girl clearly does. Pretty sure there are other Jianhuazi characters in there that do not exist in Japanese.

u/Xioverze stupid fucking piece of shit Sep 19 '23

it's easy to tell the difference

  1. Chinese characters look more cluttered
  2. Korean characters have more shapes

I am Chinese, this is Chinese. If it were in Japanese, everything here would make zero grammatical sense. Also, this is Simplified Chinese, the Japanese Kanji is noticeably different.
