The curses in MAO

I tried to sort out the curses for the main characters in MAO written by Rumiko Takahashi. Of course, Mao carries on the largest number of curses on his back. (Good luck, Mao!)

In the above diagram, I categorized the sword as a curse belonging to both the curses caused by the successor competition and Byoki. The sword is given by the master of the clan to Mao when Mao is selected as a successor. However, the sword is known as an ominous symbol, which is told in chapter 26. Moreover, according to chapter 6, the sword gets cursed by being soaked with Byoki's blood.
