Wanted to know about a case of subject verb agreement.

I got into this argument with someone about a post which a page made.

The post's caption was "Anyone miss Jiraiya sensei?". I just felt like its wrong so I made a comment correcting it "Misses*".

A couple of guys replied to my comment and argued that "miss" is correct.

So my question here is,

Should it be "Anyone miss Jiraiya sensei?" or "Anyone misses Jiraiya sensei?"

Thanks Emotion: big smile.
