Active Raid (TV).

The force field was based on an EM pulse of some kind, which would definitely affect power suits and other technological equipment, but there's no reason why it should have any special effect on the train tracks in particular.

The governor of the prefecture, like many political figures in both anime and real life, was simply engaging in exaggerated grandstanding. The show merely played that up for comedic effect. From Dirty Pair to Patlabor, such situations are not uncommon.

Haruka and Kobari shared an unusual yet sincere personal interest in trains. I believe this was made extremely clear by the episode.

What do you think usually happens to any criminals who do not stop when asked to do so by law enforcement officers? Either Unit 8, the military or some other security organization would be forced to attack and/or arrest him using other methods. Such as launching that special rocket against his power suit. Despite the governor's public boasting, even the "boss" could tell it wouldn't leave Kobari unharmed .

It was evident that "just walking there" was what he already was doing in the first place. The EM field was actively removing all obstacles in his path and causing damage, but that is apparently what LOGOS wanted.

The rest of your questions aren't worth answering, because they continue to strike me as either mostly unnecessarily cynical or otherwise directly struggling against the nature of the series itself. After reading your criticisms about episode 6, I can only conclude...sigh.

It was suggested that "just walking there" is exactly what he started doing in the first place. The blue EM field was actively removing all obstacles in his path and causing damage, but that is apparently what LOGOS wanted.

I thought the point of the episode was that this current episode was that this weeks Willwear incident was at the very least NOT going by LOGOS' long term plan.

So it disintegrates streetlamps, cars, and other thing in front of him, but not train tracks that are also equipped with electronics to conduct electricity?

But this show tries to pretend it has some level of understanding of what politicians and law enforcement know they are allowed to do under law, but wants to believe one such person would be so ignorant. It does not feel believable

It was not relevant to the situation or his character.

Here is the thing, this show has never actually explained what would happen. As far as we know this was a recent experimental unit that is required to take on these cases of using the armour, and there is like no other defence. The special suit technology came so far that whatever other plan to take one on had to be privately funded and is dangerous.

He could control it himself right? It was a shock when he could not control it at the end. He could have just not turned on the shield. We heard nothing from the bad guy in telling him that he needed to cause a mess on the way there.

Well the nature of the series does a poor job of explaining itself. Recently wild character traits have popped up in the series, and not very tactfully. It wants us both to think it is playing things seriously by being a somewhat down to earth cop drama, but ignore parts that are quite illogical in that area.

Episode 10:
The timing of the "earthquake" felt especially strange
to me as it seems to be planned by that one other guy.

Apparently a bunch of people decided that the safest place was to be standing on a bridge, not deciding to use that warning to make their way to solid ground.

A modern bridge built to code might actually be one of the safest places around, particularly being on it if it is away from things that can fall on you.
