Wow, thanks for the research. From what I understand, a crucial part of your rationale is that the director who appeared in chapter 341 and the one mentioned in chapter 359 are the same person, but I do not believe so; or at the very least, it is still unconfirmed. The manager from chapter 341 said his outlook changed when he saw the basement of the IEA, not when he went to the DC himself. This does not make it impossible for the two to be the same person, but for the moment there is nothing that implies he's the IPA director mentioned in chapter 359, who could be someone else entirely. In fact, since both the IEA and the IPAs are agencies, their leaders could all be called "Directors" or "Secretaries", so th efact the same term is used might not mean much.

As for rising in rank, that might not be the case. He might have been Deputy Secretary before, but when Nasubi's plan was announced, he was simply nominated elader of the team the IEA formed with the various IPAs. In fact, there seems to be only one IEA, but several IPAs, meaning those are not the same; and since the Manager has access to the IEA secret storehouse, has been there several times and has describe dhis activities (in chapter 341) in a way that is completely different from the duties of the IPAs detailed by Curly, it seems he works for the IEA; and being glasses guy's superior, the latter should also be working for the IPA.

Personally, I wouldn't change anything until we are completely certain:

1. Glasses guy's manager and the IPA director who survived the DC are the same person;

2. Glasses guy really is from the IPAs and not the IEA.
