Shogun gets a lot of good mileage out of its language barrier, possibly because the characters aren’t really doing it with any sense of disdain. Sometimes they just straight up forget the other person can’t speak what they do
So often in media, a language barrier is played for laughs and has one (or both) parties shouting at each other or wildly gesticulating. That happens a little bit in Shogun because Blackthorne’s On One in the anjin, but then you see everyone make genuine efforts to try and communicate with the other person. They tell them a specific word to use as shorthand, they think about how best to describe it, it’s v good stuff and I like the scenes where a translated conversation is just a back and forth without the translator being included
