Largely for clarification so I can link this to my friends when I finish my end of arc military kitsune deck.
So I control two 2/2 Spirit token personalities with no base abilities.
I play Unstoppable strike on one spirit (Spirit Token A).
Spirit Token A then performs the battle action, destroying a personality.
Spiritual Coalescence is then performed by spirit token A and grant his abilities to spirit token B
Can spirit token B then use the ability granted to spirit token A by Unstoppable Strike?
After the turn ends, does it still have the ability granted by Unstoppable Strike?

Spirit B gets its own copy of the ability. This ability has not been used yet - the fact that the original ability has been used this turn does not affect whether or not the new copy can be used. Furthermore, the ongoing effect that creates this ability has a different duration to the ongoing effect that created the original ability: the new effect is permanent, so the ability will not go away at the end of the turn.
