Has it really been pointless though? The first time he showed up as a distraction to let the Bugster of the week get away. At the end of this episode he showed up to destroy the Bugster so Kiriya couldn't examine it. These are pretty straightforward.

The only one that's a little iffy is when he showed up to mess up Brave and Snipe in the middle of the episode, but I think that makes sense too. GENM is pretty much confirmed to be one of the general Bugsters, and their dialog in this episode is pretty telling of their motives. They're playing a game, and they sound pretty hyped about having all five players active now--of having these cool showdowns between the humans and the Bugsters. Whichever way the Snipe/Brave fight went, it'd pretty much mean one less player participating, and I imagine the Bugsters would see that as spoiling the fun. The infighting between the humans doesn't really do anything for them. So, he stopped them.

But, that's just my fan wank for now. Possibly it could just be pointless. Which could also be the point. I'm convinced GENM is Graphite, and the bio we have of him pretty much just says "the dude likes to fight." It'd make some sense.

(in the same vein, starting to think GENM stands for Graphite Eats Normies for...Mbreakfast).
