Comparisons[edit]

-Like St. Peter, Frog was easily discouraged upon failing in some regard. This is most easily observed in his departure from Guardia after 'failing' to save Queen Leene, when in fact he had succeeded in saving her by aiding Crono.
-Frog and St. Peter both used swords.
-Frog's greatest ally was Cyrus; likewise, St. Peter's brother is Andrew, who is the equivalent to Cyrus.
-Frog was loosely given his name by Jesus -- it is a first meeting with him that prompts the party to call him 'Frog.'
-Frog stayed 'one day' with Crono initially; he left after Queene Leene had been rescued. Likewise, St. Peter was with Jesus for the space of a day before becoming a fully-devoted disciple.
-Similar to the above, Frog became a full apostle only after being absent from Crono's presence for a time.
-This may be a stretch, but St. Peter's fishing career may be related to Frog's status as an amphibious creature.
-Crono gave the Masamune (Trigger's equivalent to the miracles of Christ) to Frog, who subsequently wielded it and joined Crono's cause. Likewise, St. Peter was given the authority and keys to the church, and witnessed many of Christ's miracles.
-Frog's pose when casting a magic spell is reminiscent of crucifixion; St. Peter was also crucified.
-Frog has no other option but to ressurect Crono after his death; he is one of Crono's most zealous supporters. Similarly, St. Peter remarked that he had nowhere to go but by Christ - "Lord, to whom shall we go?"
-Frog can be considered head of Crono's party under the hero himself (as St. Peter was under Christ), as he is the main proponent against Magus, who the party initially believes is responsible for the destruction of the world - the quest cannot be advanced without Frog leading the way with the Masamune.
-Like St. Peter's attempt to forcefully defend Christ at the Garden of Gethsemane, Frog believes in duels and fighting.
-St. Peter's denial of Christ can be loosely related to Frog's reluctance to join Crono's party until he is presented the Masamune.
-As St. Peter continued Christ's legacy by spreading his gospel after his death, Frog returns to defend and uphold Guardia after the end of Chrono Trigger.
