Phrases like "ore no shugyō", "my training" (training of me) , the person
comes first and the noun second, but in phrases like "Fukkatsu no F" or
"Fukushū no Gōruden Furīza" the order is inverted.

question
grammar translation particle-の word-order
Why in "Fukkatsu no F" the words order are inverted?
Your question seems a bit confused, as nothing looks inverted to me.

A simple way of understanding how の works, for folks coming from English, is
to view the の as the **'s** in English -- it's basically a possessive. So
_"John ​ **'s** apple"_ in Japanese becomes ジョンさん **の** リンゴ in Japanese.

In your last two sample phrases, 復活{ふっかつ} **の** F ( _"Fukkatsu **no** F"_)
would be _"fukkatsu ​ **'s** F"_, and 復讐{ふくしゅう} **の** ゴールデンフリーザ ( _"Fukushū
**no** Gōruden Furīza"_) would be _"Revenge ​ **'s** Golden Freezer"_.

It's only if you rework the English to use _"of"_ instead of the possessive
**'s** that the word order changes.

(All that being said, translating **anything** from one language to another
one will inevitably result in a change in the order of ideas. This is simply
because different languages are **different**.)

answer
As you suggested, "Fの復活" would be far more straightforward and simply means
"The Return of F", but "復活のF" is not a typo, of course. In "復活のF", the main
noun is "F", and 復活の is a phrase that modifies "F". Think of it as something
like "F, The Resurrected" or "Returning F".

Basically you can re-analyze this title as "復活するF" or "復活したF", as if the
modifying part were a normal suru-verb. This is probably not a part of the
"standard" Japanese grammar, but you may occasionally find this pattern in
book or movie titles because it's shorter and somehow looks cooler due to its
nonstandard appearance. As chocolate said, 進撃の巨人 (lit. "Advancing Giants") is
another good recent example of this.

I may be missing something, but doesn't 復活のF mean "the F of Fukkatsu', or "F
for Fukkatsu" - i.e. "R for Revival"? If so, 復讐の F would be "V for Vengeance".
