It's foolish to consider any relation between Adam and the Grimm to be a reference to Bleach specficially. The archetype of "classification of entities that are monstrous" that exist to oppose humans/heroes has existed since forever ago, and the idea of there being entities that exist between the status of those monsters and regular people is not specific to Bleach whatsoever as well.
