I'm guessing because you think it's stigmata->fragment and I think it's fragment->stigmata.
When Zero got sealed before, Arclight could use doppleganger because that wasn't a power he acquired using zero, it was already hardwired in his brain. I think that's the reason why his stigmata could surface back then. Now the important question is how did he get his new powers/stigmata? Is it somehow through the means of his Zero power? If so bumping heads will make him lose his newly acquired powers and those stigmata of them. Just like Blade lost his stigmata when the doppelganger part of his brain got transplanted into Eve (whom I think will show the stigmata sometime in the future).
If his new powers are there because somehow the cocoon "baked" them into his brain shutting down Zero will do nothing. Thinking about those things it's interesting to notice Arclight had Aruka's stigmata before he entered the cocoon. So... we still don't know for sure how he got those stigmata powers. Did he enter the cocoon once before and get the power/stigmata like that? And how long did he have stigmata like those of Aruka, Riru, Uten and Saten? From the very beginning? Did we just not know it because Imai Kami wanted us to slowly get used to them? If so he lost them before already.
Also your chest stigmata remark has more to it than you might think yourself. We haven't seen the mirrored arrow like stigmata yet on Arclights chest. Several people have noticed it didn't really look like any of the other stigmata and now we see there's hardly any room left for the arrow stigmata to be placed. However when looking at the outer metallic parts of Arclights artificial heart it has the same kind of size and shape as Mengroze's palmprint. The outer part may not always have looked like this. And if the chest stigmata truly is Riru's he could've had it for a long time now.
One more thing. It looks like Arclight is still connected to the cocoon. I wonder if that will have some sort of role to play in the fight between him and Blade.
Just a couple of things I was thinking about when trying to make sense of it all.
@Avvesione One of your arguments was having a gigantor fragment could be really useful now when it's two against four. However, Kafka is already restraining Solva(just after Ishiyama said he was already expecting them). So I think the temporary "truce" is over.
