>"its never been stated that Rimuru can analyze something "and not" copy it."

Has it been an established rule that Rimuru *has to* copy something he analyze? I think Rimuru can analazye things without copying them, he anazyed the hipokute herbs and the magic ores but he can never duplicate them, he can mold them and process it into something else, but can't simply duplicate it.

He adoesn't have to analyze the entire thing either, Rimuru failed to fully analyze Charybdis even after eating it's core but still managed to grab some of it's skills.

Analyzing and Copying skills is different part of skills. Analyze is something of it's own, but in order to gain other's skills Rimuru used "Prey/Predation" from predator and it's upgrades.
