Kiki Jiki + Populate

Arya uses the ability of Kiki Jiki, Mirror Breaker to create a token copy of Glory Seeker, then she casts Eyes in the Sky to make a copy of the token.

Does the second token get haste? Is there a way to tell for sure (such as the presence of the word ‘except’)?

Hi,

Yes, the copy of the token will have haste. That's covered in Gatherer:

Haste is part of the token’s copiable values. Copies of that token will also have haste.

In general, if the effect says the token “has” an ability, then that ability is part of the token's copiable characteristics, but “gains” does not make it part of the card's copiable characteristics.
