But there is nothing to duplicate with the herbs. Skills and objects are different, remember when he analyzed the longsword? Because he had the ore he could duplicate the longsword because it was analyzed. He can't make something from nothing.

When it comes to the skills, the nature of how they work is all they are. Once that is known, the ability to "owned" that's how Predator works. Rimuru initially could analyze something without copying it with Great Sage and Wisdom King Raphael. Predator, Gluttony, and Beelzebub all had their own analyze abilities, but they produced the ability after analysis.

Problem is, after Rimuru's ascension to Great Demon Lord, the analyze abilities fused when Raphael evolved into Ciel. So, now, there is no difference.

And, as DXF mention, Rimuru's Analysis ability is now at the point where it is similar to Shuna's Analyst Unique Skill. Where Rimuru analyzes and copy skills as he sees them.

That is why I said what I said, every time, I repeat, every time, Rimuru analyzes a non-Ultimate Skill, its been copied. So I don't know what else to tell you.
