* CensorSuds: Exaggerated in the episode "The Land of Confession". The Conductor, despite being entirely alone, still hides his ''entire body'' in suds while bathing, which also hides his invisibility from the audience at first.

** Downplayed with the Conductor. He makes just as much of a fuss and avoidance of taking baths as Tetsuro, but doesn't exactly mind taking them when he's sure he's alone. He just doesn't want to risk people seeing his invisibility.


Added DiffLines:

* {{Invisibility}}: Various episodes would reveal this of the Conductor, being an invisible alien hidden under his uniform. His hat is the only thing giving him the appearance of having a shadowed-over face and makes his eyes visible.


Added DiffLines:

* ShadowedFaceGlowingEyes: The only visible part of the Conductor is a pair of glowing yellow eyes on a shadowed face. Being invisible, it's his hat creating the shadow on his face. Without it, he looks entirely headless.
