Correction about Raidou: The person Raidou saves from the curse is an admiral in the navy who got cursed since the navy was investigating the shady stuff the army was doing. This is a reference to the real-life conflicts between the Japanese army and Japanese navy which is considered one of the most notorious inter-service rivalries in history.
Okay, this one is complicated and I don't have a lot of time so I'm going to give the QUICK and probably useless version since it'll omit lots of details.
But basically, I won't deny what you say is correct but there are some odd things about the "important naval officer" scenario/scene, especially in the Japanese version. Much of my info on this is from a Japanese blog that goes into detail about nationalism in Raidou specifically. A healthy amount of it was summarized for me by @dijeh, who says much of it sounds a bit out there, lol. That said, there's still aspects about it that are conspicuous, but take with a grain of salt.
LP of the chapter (Episode 7: The Cursed Detective) here.
The Japanese version of this scene is available here.
If the cursed person were just an admiral, why the very coy, dramatic presentation at the Yatagarasu shrine? They could have easily created a fictional admiral character but instead chose to depict the cursed in silhouette and are talking around his identity despite his stated "crucial" role. This is just my observation.
The blogger emphasizes the following points (repeatedly, apparently, lol):
Atlus could not use Emperor Showa (Hirohito) because of his war crimes, thus they extended the Taisho era to a fictional year, 20; in reality, the Taisho emperor died of pneumonia and the era lasted only 15 years. Taisho was also a pre-war era and there is nostalgia for it.
The Yatagarasu organization is representative of the State Shinto of the period: the three-legged crow Yatagarasu was sent from the heavens to guide the first emperor, Jimmu, of Amaterasu's lineage, to military victory. State Shinto instituted the divine identity of the emperor, and the Yatagarasu organization is old and directly connected to the emperor. It specifically uses Japanese native religious imagery and names, not Buddhism.
The JP constitution says the emperor is the leader of the ground, sea, etc. forces, yet the game only names him the leader of the naval force because it's usually associated with heroic deeds, unlike the army which is associated with war crimes. (Personal anecdote: Japan still seems to be proud of its WWII naval forces and I visited a museum dedicated to the battleship Yamato near Hiroshima. I felt odd being there, since the Yamato was sunk by American bombers; I didn't feel the same way at Hiroshima, probably because its message is for global peace and total nuclear disarmament.)
The writer is also particularly bothered by the fact that you can't refuse to save this cursed person.
Last tidbit is that the god who curses the person is Hitokotonushi, who notably appears to Emperor Yuryaku in the Kojiki, where he says he can proclaim "good fortune in one word, bad fortune in one word," which the game seems to be quoting. This plays into the game's "Kunitsu seeking revenge on the Amatsu" plotline, so why would he curse someone who isn't also directly related to the Amatsu in some way?

In the height of summer, when temperatures are soaring, safe access to drinking water becomes critical for all animals. And yes, that includes even bees!
