Every time someone gets on his nerves (usually Midorima) his most popular catchphrase is "Someone get me a pineapple/durian."(implying that he wants to throw it at their head).Miyaji applies a ruthlessly strict training system to his team, which is so harsh that Takao mentioned that Miyaji is without a doubt the scariest upperclassman.
