"Captain Rebellion" is the name of the manga series, and does not actually mean anything in-universe. The lead character is called "Captain R", but the R does not stand for anything, while the "Secret Rebellion" is the name of the organization he leads. His Ghost Helper is called "Revolution" for entirely unrelated reasons.
The author, early on, thought it would be a great idea to make this all as confusing as humanly possible, so that the true fans could be told apart from those who just read for the pretty art and/or cool fights. He has gotten a little sick of correcting people by now, but it's way too late for him to change anything at this point.
