2. Sacrifice 100 people to save 100 people.

A villain would:

3. Sacrifice people for no particular reason or a false one.

The powers of the Quincy in Bleach are something an anti-hero would have. They save humans by killing off Hollows, but they risk spiritual balance since they actually destroy the spirits, though they don't care. This is compared to the Shinigami powers which only seal spirits.
An anti-hero doesn't necessarily have to have villainous characteristics, just ones that are adverse to traditional heroism. I don't know about you, but I would never consider someone who treats human life the way most Flame Haze do to be heroic.
